McDonalds are not targeting black people. I live in UK and they are showing a lot of commercials with black people and asian people to show the world we now are trying to "live in harmony"
Which I think is a good thing. So why should black people protest?

McDonalds is an equal-opportunity murderer of a corporation...They put poison in their food, chemicals which are actually designed to make you gain weight and make you hungrier, keeping you coming back for more...They don't care if you're white, black, brown or anything else: all they care about is the BOTTOM LINE, the almighty f*cking dollar, and they will stop at nothing to make us all fat and addicted to their food...
McDonalds = a heart attack waiting to happen...
McDonalds' food is quite possibly the most toxic fast food on planet earth...Go to amazon.com and look for a DVD called "Super Size Me"...Buy that video and watch it...you will NEVER think the same way about McDonalds or fast food in general again...Excellent documentary...

I believe that they are targeting what they believe is their customer, but they are making it so narrow, that regardless of color, their advertising is a turnoff. Kind of like atheletic shoes, it is not just young people in the "hood" that wear them. And as long as McDonalds is going after a particular group, I will allow that group to buy from them, and take my business elsewhere. Besides, they cannot even get a fast food order correct!!

McDonald's has a history of targeting specific demographics.
Historically, their "healthier" menu options tend to market toward Caucasian and Asian customers, there is a similar bias toward marketing lower-cost menu items to African-Americans and Hispanics.
However, McDonald's has recently been targeting African-Americans for both spectrums of their offerings, as African-American families have become more affluent and health-conscious.

They will go after anyone with 99 cents for their value menu. They are about as good as the tobacco industry, because they know their food is poison but they have to make a profit.
Go see Supersize Me. It is funny and serious at the same time.

McDonalds has a commerical for every race. It depends on what channel you are watching. I do notice on urban station there are the black focus McDonalds commericals and when watching CBS there is another focus. Dont worry you are not being targeted. We all are!!

because Ronald the hamburger promoting clown is deranged, and at the same time as he became youthful, his step-father, a black guy became beating his mom, and he became to Ronald, and reported why so severe? and then he picked up a razor blade, and positioned it in Ronald's mouth. Why so severe? fairly, even with the undeniable fact that persons, do not devour that ****, they're racist and need to furnish absolutely everyone coronary heart ailment.

It is called equal opportunity. For years most commercials had only white people. This has been deemed to be discriminatory.
If you take notice, you will see that ALL commercials now feature, whites, black and hispanic people.
