### Comment:
He was on a conference call with marketing people, they were talking about ways that he could distance the chain from 'racist groups', someone else asked him if he was racist or something, and he said 'Colonel Sanders used to call black people niggers' probably in an effort to say 'and no one seems to think KFC is racist.' 
  
 He just used the word in a conversation where it was relevant, he didn't actually call anyone that.

### REPLY:
I don't have an MBA so I'm not going to pretend I know all the nuances of the business world, but I'm going to guess that saying 'nigger' in a conference call is probably never a good idea. It's also not a great argument considering there were only 44 states when Colonel Sanders was born, and the Voting Rights Act wasn't passed until that motherfucker was 75.

### END.
