found this

The conference call in May came to light after Forbes magazine detailed the incident in an article Wednesday. The report, which was later confirmed by Schnatter, said he was on a call with marketing agency Laundry Service when he tried to downplay comments he made about the National Football League last fall by saying, “Colonel Sanders called blacks n-----s" and never faced any public backlash at KFC.

Papa John's founder used racial slur during exercise intended to prevent PR snafus

According to Forbes, Schnatter added that people used to drag African-Americans from trucks until they died. Although his comment was apparently intended to convey his distaste for racism, Forbes said multiple people on the call were offended. The call was part of media training for Schnatter to prevent future public relations fumbles.

“News reports attributing the use of inappropriate and hurtful language to me during a media training session regarding race are true," Schnatter said Wednesday in a statement released by Papa John's. "Regardless of the context, I apologize. Simply stated, racism has no place in our society.”

"colonel sanders called blacks niggers" is not racism. it's not racist. it's not hurtful language. anyone and everyone who believes otherwise is a fucking pussy shithead. schnatter is a pussy for playing along. had he wanted to get off of the board for political reasons over this. he could have said something along the lines of "my statements were not meant to offend anyone, nor do i believe that they actually did offend anyone. however, i do intend to step down from the board of papa johns in order to pursue different opportunities at this time."

better yet, he could have just told everyone to fuck off

1. We shouldn't have some boogeyman word that leads to firing when used in a way to refer to someone else doing something racist and offensive and how bad it is. it's insane.

2. If that's the case than push him out for those reasons. We live in a crazy time when someone can be an alcoholic boorish asshole who causes PR blunders and treats people poorly and have greater job security than someone who uses a slur in a way to highlight the problems of racism.

then he became an embarrassing public relations tumor. the board excised him for what they must’ve figured was the first good enough reason. thems the breaks. lol at moralizing over firms acting like...firms

“lol at moralizing over firms acting like...firms”

we’re apparently talking past each other. boards generally shitcan managers when they become an obstacle to shareholder value. deserve ain’t got nothing to do with it

so please SHUT THE FUCK UP about the board’s “real fear” being limited to the implications of papa john saying nigger. this is clearly the culmination of a bunch of unforced errors. a better ceo almost certainly makes it through because he wouldn’t have tossed his company into the culture war with a ton of media scrutiny and a board probably dying for a reason to cut him

the “real fear” is that papa john is a fucking moron with horrible judgment that would keep on doing moronic shit. as demonstrated by his dumbass decisions over the past year. i’m sorry that you’re so aggrieved that public company ceos don’t have total discretion to scream nigger

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4025090&forum_id=2#36425789)

I keep making the same two points: (a) the company did the rational thing and it’s weird to moralize over ceo firings, AND (b) Papa John was uniquely fucking stupid and the nigger thing just hastened the inevitable because the board probably felt like they needed something good to can the idiot founder of the company.

You people keep responding only to (a) and keep focusing on the nigger angle because it’s either all you care about or all your simple brains can grasp at any one time. Let...me.....talk....real.....slow....so.......you....can...follow. Papa John.....was....a.....garbage.....manager. You people keep agreeing that this incident isn’t the sole reason he’s done here but you keep turning around and crying about the liberal mob like his retarded Jihad against the roger goddell isn’t relevant. Or that papa johns pizza has become a laughing stock.

Holy fucking shit lmao

"We must bear in mind that the growth of the power of the Soviet state will increase the resistance of the last remnants of the dying classes. It is precisely because they are dying, and living their last days that they will pass from one form of attack to another, to sharper forms of attack, appealing to the backward strata of the population, and mobilizing them against the Soviet power. There is no foul lie or slander that these 'have-beens' would not use against the Soviet power and around which they would not try to mobilize the backward elements. This may give ground for the revival of the activities of the defeated groups of the old counter-revolutionary parties: the Socialist-Revolutionaries, the Mensheviks, the bourgeois nationalists in the centre and in the outlying regions; it may give grounds also for the revival of the activities of the fragments of counter-revolutionary opposition elements from among the Trotskyites and the Right deviationists. Of course, there is nothing terrible in this. But we must bear all this in mind if we want to put an end to these elements quickly and without great loss." [Stalin, The Results of the First Five-Year Plan, end of Section VII.]

Schnatter said he regretted stepping down as chairman last week and now questions how the board handled the investigation into comments he made during a May conference call.

“The board asked me to step down as chairman without apparently doing any investigation," Schnatter said in the letter obtained by CNBC. "I agreed, though today I believe it was a mistake to do so. I have checked with corporate governance experts who tell me that this was not a proper action by the Board."

Schnatter resigned as chairman last week at the behest of Papa John's board after admitting that he used the N-word during a May conference call with media company Laundry Service. Schnatter said he was provoked into using the racially charged slur after Laundry Service suggested they company bring on performer Kanye West as a co-spokesman for television spots and promotions.

Schnatter said he refused to work with West because "he uses the 'N' word in his lyrics." It was later on the call that Schnatter said he used the actual when pressed whether or not he was a racist.

"I then said something on the order of, Colonel Sanders used the word “N,” (I actually used the word,) that I would never use that word and Papa John’s doesn’t use that word," Schnatter told the board. "Let me be very clear: I never used the “N” word in that meeting as a racial epithet, nor would I ever."

Everything else, from the nfl fiasco to niggergate, are just idiot own goals he’s foisted onto his shareholders. You’re framing the niggergate backlash as proof of some liberal mob and my view is it’s just further proof he needed to be fucking canned

If you disagree well I’m right, will continue to be right, 100% of people that matter will agree with me and you can stay being aggrieved on obscure internet message boards

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4025090&forum_id=2#36454445)

modify that to "100% of people that matter would agree with me if forced to speak publicly on the subject," and it would be the first non-retarded thing you've said all thread, but at the same time prove my point

anyway, the shit after the resignation is obviously important because it shows that the freakout/moral panic was about more than just the stock performance.
