Papa John’s Founder Affirms He’s Not Racist: ‘For 20 Months I’ve Been Scrubbing The N-Word From My Vocabulary’
Papa John’s founder John Schnatter is affirming in a new interview that he’s NOT racist, claiming “for 20 months, I’ve been working to get rid of the n-word from my vocabulary.”
The ousted CEO is doubling down on being a racist, despite him allegedly blasting off the n-word on a conference call years ago. After facing backlash then, he stepped down from his position, and now he’s back in the news rehashing the experience, adding that he’s not a racist, nor has any history of racism.

Schnatter tells far-right news channel OAN that the Board falsely portrayed him a racist years ago, and that he’s had insomnia since, wondering how they got away with it. He adds, for the last 20 months, he’s had three goals: 1) to get rid of the n-word from his vocabulary and dictionary, and everything else because it’s just not true; 2) figure out how the Board crossed him; and 3) get on with his life.
