The claim trying to be argued here was the he hated black people and your additional sources still do not back that up. The second article seems to instead provide evidence against that claim. In reality this event happened during peak wokenness where saying a slur no matter the context made you a bad person deserving of being cancelled.

In which context is it okay to say the n word?

Your source does not back up your claim. The founder said he didn't use the slur.

Did we read the same source? The closest thing I saw in there to anything he said was: > When discussing how he would distance himself from racist groups, Mr Schnatter said that Colonel Sanders, the founder of KFC, had never faced criticism for using the N-word, Forbes reported.

Which, for the record, has never been documented at all. Conversely, his black chauffeur insisted (post-mortem) that his former employer was always respectful, and the only time he even mentioned race was to ask what 'you people want to be called.'

The conversation was pretty non-exciting: 'What people?' 'Um, colored folk.' 'We prefer to be called black.' 'Oh, okay...' End of chat.

Someone seeking out the most respectful language to use - the opposite of bigotry.

> All american fridges contain at least 20% expired condiments, by volume. Refrigerators are generally sized between 300 and 500 liters. Are you suggesting that most (I won't even say all) refrigerators have 60 liters of expired condiments?

It is a joke.

Anytime it is not being used as an insult or used to degrade a person or group of people.

> There are two things Papa Johns doesn’t like to see There are three things. Papa Johns also hates to see well compensated employees. They've been successfully sued several times for wage theft, they were forced to stop their “no-poach” policies which prevented franchise owners from hiring workers at other Papa Johns restaurants in an effort to keep wages down, and they insisted that if they had to provide health in…

PJ's gross profits are much higher than this, in the hundreds of millions, usually over $500M. $87 million is approximately their net income for 2024 ($83.49M, down to $30.5M in 2025).

Ketchup is vinegar-based. I don't think it makes much of a difference.

The ketchup doesn't go bad, but the plastic container offgasses directly into the ketchup and also into the air void above the ketchup.

> into the air void above the ketchup.

Somebody at Heinz packaging department should be working on a ketchup syringe.

The n word is a staple of activities by members of a protected class.

Feel free to tell them that they're wrong.

It needs to be pointed out that for food items, it's already against the law to engage in price customization if the retailer accepts SNAP, which pretty much all grocery stores do. SNAP recipients cannot be charge more than or less than other customers. If Walmart wants to charge someone 50% for a video game because their algorithm says that customer will pay it, they might be able to get away with that, but for food…

Yes, I remember this coming up when the current admin took away or limited many people's SNAP benefits, and a few smaller retailers wanted to throw them a bone, only to understand that it was illegal to do so unless they charged the lower price for all customers, both SNAP and non-SNAP. They didn't want to do that, so the SNAP recipients suffered as a result.

Well, OK, but the original post was trying to justify Papa John saying it.
