Black Lives Matter isn’t anti-police.
Oh, absolutely not. One can never say anything like that about chants like “What do we want?—dead cops; when do we want it—now” or “Pigs in a blanket; fry ’em like bacon” or whatever other friendly chants the media may have missed.

I already see a little container of poison whenever I spot Ben & Jerry’s.

I never buy the stuff.

Some years ago I listened to an interview with B&J on a Seattle radio station. They were complaining about the Cuban embargo because they wanted to by sugar from them. I swore it off then.

In order to boycott something, it means I must patronize them first. Since I’ve not bought any Ben & Jerry’s in many years, nor do I have plans in the future to change, this seems an exercise in futility, from my side at least.

However, since they are a subsidiary of Unilever, maybe I can find another product that I do use for boycotting.

Neither do I. Ben and Jerry owners have had liberal worldview for many years - so I just don’t buy their product. Wish millions more would do the same.

“Black Lives Matter isn’t anti-police.”—first line of the article. These brain dead writers at Vox, or any website, always state their false premise and expect everyone to believe it. Reading is an art.

One could argue that Ben & Jerry’s ice cream has killed many more people than the police. :o)

I’ve been boycotting them for 25 years. I tend to buy either Turkey Hill or Wawa ice cream.

Don’t frequent businesses that don’t support those who serve to protect us, would deny Americans their Second Amendment rights, won’t support or defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, or support policies that undermine the strength of the nation and our freedoms and the domestic tranquility.

They’ve disappointed me with their communist/liberal ideology years ago. Haven’t missed the stuff. Good for Blue Lives Matter and all our good police officers.

I watched them make Ben & Jerry’s on “How It’s Made”.

Oh, hell no.
