KKK Wednesday was not to be
After the Krispy Kreme outlet advertised the event [“Krispy Kreme Klub Wednesday”] on Facebook, the blowback was fierce and shrill.Krispy Kreme officials—including the visibly black Lafeea Watson—apologized “unreservedly” for the mishap, assuring customers that their donuts in no way endorse hooded terrorism, mob lynchings, or racial discrimination, and that people of all races, creeds, colors, sexual orientations, gender identities, and species identities are free to purchase their donuts and eat them at their convenience in the designated safe spaces of their choosing.

Your Say
Simple solution: KKK offers free donuts to all colored people, or is it people of color?, from here on out. There, reparations paid in full.

Free donuts...reparations....pats on the head...empty praise and special considerations?? I don't think so.... If they want donuts they need to pay for them just like everyone else. Same thing with all the other stuff.
But you do have to wonder, just what was K.Kreme thinking?
