Vaseline gets woke and creates a Black Lives Matter ad
Americanthinker.com ^ | 10/19/2020 | Andrea Wilburg

Vaseline has come a long way from the oil fields. Like all modern companies, its management hires are almost certainly required to have a college degree. And unless that college degree comes from Hillsdale, another virtual certainty is that the college requirement means that Vaseline's management is steeped in leftism.

We've certainly seen this pattern with corporations instantly embracing the Marxist-inspired Black Lives Matter movement. Leftists also believe ridiculous theories such as the dishonest 1619 Project and the incredibly racist theory called "Critical Race Theory."

With those people in charge — and reporting to a Dutch-British company that has no inherent love for America — you shouldn't be surprised that Vaseline has just produced one of the most aggressively racist ads ever. These 30 seconds are steeped in Critical Race Theory; BLM America-hatred; the 1619 Project; and, implicitly, anti-white racism — all in the name of "equity in skincare." (Hat tip: Moonbattery.)

I never advocate formal boycotts. To me, boycotts are too often a leftist bullying strategy. However, speaking for myself, having seen that ad, I can't imagine ever again buying a Vaseline or Chesebrough Ponds product. This hate-filled ad is unforgivable.

Most of them are owned by foreigners. These are no longer American companies.

You can not expect them to act like American companies.

And the Dutch were THE major player in the African slave trade.

Irony is ironic.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that one or heard it played on the TV while working. I didn’t realize that it was a Vaseline commercial, though.

They should be ashamed for trying to sow division.

Can’t say I have bought more than one jar of Vaseline in the last 20 years, but I will definitely stay away from their products.

Our cat eats vaseline. White petroleum jelly is the main ingredient in the malt flavored hairball medicine from the veterinarian. The cat has a little bowl of it near the cat food bowl. Laps up a little blob of it daily without needing encouragement. It works wonders.

I'll call it hairball equity. Next time I'll buy Walmart brand.

And “BLM” is not referenced FWICS.

It most certainly is! It's written across the woman's pregnant belly. This ad is absolutely disgusting!

But not in the name of the ad, hence not making it easy to search with the “BLM” keyword.

Curious.

Not a word about Margaret Sanger in the ad.

If you have a YouTube account, go and give a Thumbs down to the video.

The ratio of ups to downs cannot be ignored.
