VANITY--More Wokeism

Posted on 04/08/2021 8:01:53 AM PDT by AbolishCSEU

While watching America's Voice on Pluto, I noticed a Wheaties Commercial (you wouldn't know it was a cereal ad) basically praising the black power movement. Features a variety of black "activists" raising their clenched fists in the "black power" salute.

I can't find the clip anywhere on the usual media feeds. Just wrote a letter of complaint to General Mills about it.

Wheaties are apparently for black people and have the nutritive chemical power to erase the perceived stain of black ness.

My husband used to buy and eat the unrefined wood pulp en masse. No more.

Why do you write to complain? It just tells them they’re getting their message across.

All of these national name brands have gone woke with few exceptions. Goya is always in my cart.

Make it easy on yourself. Instead of trying keep track of which brands to avoid just leave them all on the shelf. Go local brands. Go store brands.

The national name brands, in addition to going woke, fund the LEFTIST media.

Avoid them as much as possible.

PlutoTV by the way is owned by CBS.

Watching Steve Bannon on Real America’s Voice right now.

And people wonder why I gave up TV eight years ago; don’t even have one. Don’t miss it a bit, especially when I read articles like this.

Was watching “New Amsterdam” last night for a bit. The white medical director decided to tackle systemic racism. Tears all the historical photos of white people off the wall and throws them in the trash. Then proceeds to paint “Black Lives Matter” on the floor of a hallway. A black surgeon comes walking down the hall, slips in the wet paint and falls. Not exactly sure what that moment was supposed to convey, it must have been steeped in significance. Maybe even if white people try to show empathy with BLM, they are are still hurting black people. They are irredeemable evil b*stards, no matter what. I changed the channel.

I miss good TV that wasn’t festering, puss-filled politics.

pluto still has good content but the ads are definitely woke. I enjoy classic tv, the our gang comedies and of course all the old content ripped to my NAS before it was/is all cancelled

Don’t eat Wheaties or any other breakfast cereal. It’s all garbage anyway. Frankly, all these woke morons are doing us all a favor in that they suckered us into buying their crappy unhealthy products decades ago and now they are giving us a good reason to drop them and be healthier.

Personally I despise cold cereal. As an over 60, I just can’t digest the carbs anymore. Hubs is 8 yrs younger than me and still buys the stuff.
