No more black people on packaging.
Let’s see how they like that.
“Uncle Ben” was used to honor the actual man.
How will eliminating blacks help blacks?
These leftists are sick and dangerous.
Next up, Aunt Jemima.
She’ll be replaced by Karen, the helicopter Mom, PTA head, and HOA regular complainer...
I guess that big black MLK statue in DC will have to go too.
I’m fine with no blacks on products. Now all they need to do is remove blacks from supermarkets.
I demand Air Jordans be renamed. And replace Mike with Danny DeVito as the spokesperson.
Nothing says “injustice” than a Multi-Million Dollar Brand with a successful African-American Man as a Mascot.
They should put Malcolm X on the box.
Then we need to change the name of New York, named after a visit by major slave trader...
All this corporate virtue signaling BS impresses only the elites who have nothing better to do that out-woke each other for bragging rights.
Real improvements for African Americans *were* being realized for the first time with record high employment numbers, right up until the same woke bastards decided they could detonate the economy with the Covid-19 scare.
Taking out Pres. Trump was more important to them then the livelihood of African Americans. In fact, improving economics for African Americans was a bad thing for leftists, because leftists don’t want people to make it on their own.
Uncle Ben was a real rice farmer known for the quality of his rice and a business associate of Mr Mars who owned the company.
Apparently honoring successful African American farmers and businessmen is raycist
.
The irony of all the corporate whitesplaining is that surveys done on brand preferences show that Aunt Jemima syrup is most popular in the black community by a wide margin. It as seen as affirming positive traditional qualities of the black family and especially black women.
I guess rich white corporations want to disappear all black folks from life. Mars is the owner of Skittles, too, I think. Are they going to stop selling chocolate?
Put Ben Shapiro on them.
Anyone else notice how over-represented kneegrows are in advertising ads and catalogs? 13% of the population and at least 50% used in ads and commercials. That is somehow racist. I feel sorry for them being exploited to sell product. The poor kneegrows have been exploited by whitey for way too long. Get rid of them all.
Getting rid of positive black figures has been going on for some time. When have anyone last heard of George Washington Carver, or Booker T Washington?
Leaving these men to recede as role models for young blacks leaves them only rap gangsters and thug terrorists like Raz Simone to look up to.
This is a lot like the left’s desire to eliminate the Native Indigenous Peoples of America. Why not change it to Ben “Surname”’ rice? Or Jemima’s Best? How about the Quaker Oats man? Will it be weird if it’s only him left? Or Vermont Maid pancake syrup? They removed the Land’O Lakes lovely lady. Will it be Just white privilege faces on boxes? So stupid. The variety of faces on food packaging is how as a child I learned about the diversity of the world. I never thought less of these logos and figured they made a good product. What about Betty Crocker? Come on companies, you are taking away diversity. Will there be children who take this as something against diversity?
Simple—remove all black people from advertising and packaging, to avoid offending anyone.
