A white man lost it in a Walgreens after noticing the Mahogany line of greeting cards, calling the cards specifically designed for people of color “whack.” His brief rant launched a social media firestorm.
What’s probably the weirdest thing about his meltdown is that such cards have been around since before the 1980s, so his outrage is coming more than 40 years after the cards first showed up in retail outlets.
“Ya’ll I’m at Walgreens looking at freakin cards,” Drew Bishop370 originally posted on TikTok.
Bishop thought Walgreens had just started selling the cards.
Hallmark said its Mahogany line of greeting cards “celebrates what is most beloved about Black culture through a timeless collection of authentic and artful greeting cards, gifts, movies, and media inspired with messages of faith, Black pride and love.”
“Hallmark Mahogany is a dedicated lifestyle brand committed to providing Black Women with innovative ways to honor African-American heritage and deepen the bonds of family, friendship and faith,” the brand said on its website.
Bishop’s post picked up speed and was viewed hundreds of thousands of times across social media after a popular X post claimed Walgreens was facing backlash over the cards.
“BREAKING: Walgreens is under backlash after shoppers noticed that they have started selling cards exclusively for Black people,” Dom Lucre wrote in a post on X Tuesday, after reposting it from Wall Street Apes.

“So let me get this straight… If a store made a ‘whites only’ greeting card section, it would spark national outrage. But when it’s ‘blacks only,’ it’s called progress? Segregation with a smile and corporate branding. This isn’t unity. It’s modern-day apartheid wrapped in Hallmark packaging. How is this not racism?” Dr. Lucien Wolfe asked on X.

Just wait until they launch hair care products specifically. for blacks
Print them for graduation season saying "Congrats on your math degree!", or in the birthday card section saying "Congrats on your new baby. The two of you will make great parents!".
Well, doesn’t Hallmark have a Cracker line of cards?

He might be slow to notice but he is correct. It’s deliberate racial targeting.
Same as Ebony magazine, NAACP, BET & Bounce TV…. You can make an almost never ending list of Black or Hispanic pandering products or organizations.
Just try to do the same for “White” culture. I dare you!
Let me guess: None of the cards have cursive.
I’ll bet the shrinkage for these will be way higher than Hallmark.
The guy is just dumb. A company would make a whites only greeting card if they thought it would be profitable for them and not a PR nightmare. The culture is what it is. Not the company’s problem.
I demand Happy Kwanzaa Cards for White People...................
I’m half Asian, where’s my line of Happy-Lucky-Me Fun Cards?.............
She rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Only you..."
My mother-in-law accidentally bought from the Mahogany line for Christmas cards a few years ago. We still get a laugh out of it.
My CVS sells Bar/Bat Mitzvah cards.
No one freaks out.
I am sure there are Ramadan and Duhwalli (sic) cards out there somewhere.
There is no law saying you must buy these cards.
In the future, make sure you’re drinking from the correct fountain.
Mr. Bishop is free to walk into Walgreens and purchase any greeting card in the store.
As long as they also market hair care products specifically for whites, I don’t have a problem with that.
Right you are!
If they come out with Super Gold Best Fun Lucky A#1 cards, will that suffice?
