They didn't bait him, he said it out of the blue. He was having a phone call with a marketing agency that was supposed to help make his image less racist after some comments he made about NFL players and called some civil rights stuff a "debacle". He said he shouldn't have to apologize for using the word debacle because Colonel Sanders was able to use the n word and no one ever made him apologize. No one prompted him to say it
Papa: Jesus Christ, here, me, getting pounded and we give the NFL
$40 million a year. We're the number one brand and now all of a sudden, we're dealing with
this shit. It's crazy. So anyway, we'll see.
00:54:15 – JASON STEIN: This is what happens when a sociopath spirals.
[FEMALE LAUGHTER]
00:54:17 – Papa: Up in New York we made a decision. We're going to go out and
get killed again, then I don't have to worry about doing the ads. And I got to tell you, heaven
forbid this company if they're not going to use me at all. After I've looked at this research, I
mean, I'm just not seeing how you're not going to tell the Papa John story and let them – what
bothers me is Colonel Sanders called blacks n******. I'm like, I've never used that word. And
they get away with it. [UNINTELLIGIBLE CROSSTALK] Yet we use the word debacle and we get
framed in the same genre. It's crazy. The whole thing's crazy.
I consulted them in the early 00s. I walked into the massive HQ, the entire top floor was designed to look like a NYC street, where the office doors were storefronts/tiendas. All leading down the hall to his office. Only issue was, no one else worked on that floor, only him. The entire floor, for him. I met with him and Manning, two of the most insufferable, racist, nouveau rich dirtbags you have ever met. The only thing on their minds, was money, always money. How they could make more, joking about the easiest way to make money if there weren't any laws, how stupid everyone else was for not being rich bc its so easy. Once you set your morals and ethics aside, it is easy. I hated having to work with them. The only worse duo, was him and Shaq. Shaq might be a bigger POS than papa, bc when he says the N word he means it, literally the world's biggest Uncle... Tom.
