John Schnatter—the founder, chairman and public face of pizza chain Papa John’s—used the N-word on a conference call in May. Schnatter confirmed the incident in an emailed statement to Forbes on Wednesday.
The call was arranged between Papa John’s executives and marketing agency Laundry Service. It was designed as a role-playing exercise for Schnatter in an effort to prevent future public-relations snafus. Schnatter caused an uproar in November 2017 when he waded into the debate over national anthem protests in the NFL and partly blamed the league for slowing sales at Papa John’s.
On the May call, Schnatter was asked how he would distance himself from racist groups online. He responded by downplaying the significance of his NFL statement. “Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s,” Schnatter said, before complaining that Sanders never faced public backlash.
Schnatter also reflected on his early life in Indiana, where, he said, people used to drag African-Americans from trucks until they died. He apparently intended for the remarks to convey his antipathy to racism, but multiple individuals on the call found them to be offensive, a source familiar with the matter said. After learning about the incident, Laundry Service owner Casey Wasserman moved to terminate the company’s contract with Papa John’s.
In an emailed statement on Wednesday afternoon, Schnatter confirmed the allegations. "News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true," he said. "Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society."

Everyone agrees that racism is bad. The trick is recognizing what racism is.

I take back my comment that most people agree that racism is bad. I spent an hour watching cell phone vids on world star hip hop of being being proudly racist, often invoking "Trump bitch!". Racism is the in thing.

You found what you were looking for, not what's typical of Americans. World star hip hop videos are full of society's garbage.

Just in the last couple of
Just in the last couple of days there have been numerous reports on the increase in hate crimes in California over the last 3 years after having gone down to an all time low. In California 51% increase in hate crimes against Latinos since 2016. And that's only hate CRIMES, not name calling and other racist displays. Hate crimes are up nationwide as well. The word "emboldened" gets used a lot--aptly so. Also, there's been an increase in organized hate groups. Hate is in. I suppose for some people, it always was so they may not notice the changes in attitudes.
