Yea earning a B.S. degree from Purdue in Electrical Engineering is a breeze. Then working at McD's since 1990, starting as an electrical engineer were all cush. Hell even Black Enterprise Magazine was fooled into making him 2007 Executive of the Year, considering all the other African American executives out there.

I bet he doesn't even work 30 hours a week.

Cut the strawman bullshit. Never did I say getting to the position was easy. I said that the CEO position at McDonalds doesn't seem as difficult as others and I would say it may be the easiest of all Fortune 500 companies. Typical bullshit from you :

You realize the $67.58 million in Total Executive Compensation paid to McDonalds executives represents 1.29% of profits for the year, based on $5.5 billion profit?

If the local business down the street turned a $1 million profit for the year would it be fair to pay a lone executive $12,290? What more split it up among more than one?

When you consider the numbers, execs at McD's are far from extreme when you consider pay/profit.

Meanwhile, here locally we're supposed to swallow one is doomed if raised in Chicago Public Housing, especially Cabrini Green despite the fact the CEO of McDonalds was one of those doomed one's?

Additionally what seems to get lost in all of this is that even though these corporations have a presence in the US, most all of them are global entities with international officers receiving executive compensation. The 70's and the 80's are over. So while one may feel they are entitled to a larger chunk of the pie, they are not necessarily due it just cuz they are 'Merican.

I think what gets lost is the fact an African American brought up in the Chicago public school system was able to become CEO of McDonald's by age 50.

It's what still makes the U.S. the land of opportunity.

What really gets lost here is that in 2013 someone still needs to mention someone's race along with his accomplishments. it's not 1965 Dell, this happens all the time.

Please tell Jesse Sr. & Co.

Of course his kid is in jail and he's a baby daddy at 70. Far from accomplished.

You all realize this man grew up in Chicago's famed Cabrini Green public housing nightmare and made it out?

The guy should serve as a role model. Not a villain. But that doesn't put any money into the pockets of Sharpton & Jackson and again why let facts get in the way of a 'movement'.
