DURHAM, N.C. — Ice cream innovators Ben & Jerry were in North Carolina Tuesday to launch a drive to increase voter registration and participation.
Ben & Jerry's co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield visited North Carolina Central University in Durham to launch a national campaign that includes a new ice cream flavor, Empower Mint.
The liberal entrepreneurs are working with the North Carolina NAACP and others in an effort to promote the importance of Congress reauthorizing the Voting Rights Act and working to remove the influence of big money in politics.
"We're here today with Rev. Barber and many others to stand up for the right to participate in our democracy, a right that so many people fought and died for," Cohen said in a statement, referring to state NAACP President William Barber. "Since our country's inception, many brave Americans have battled to expand voting rights and voter access for African-Americans, for women and young people, but the recent passage of restrictive policies in North Carolina takes our country backwards."

I’ve got another flavor Ben and Jerry’s can offer called Venezuela Vanilla. It’s an empty carton.
Using the power and enormous financial resources of a huge corporation to launch an entirely new cream flavor NATIONWIDE to remove 'the influence of big money in politics'.
Wonder if the columnist noticed what he was writing?
Why don’t they rename their vanilla flavor Honky Whitesville?
“Empower Mint. “
How cute. They are hypocrites, unless they give the ice cream away free to all non-Whites, muzziys, and the LGBT crowd, and make normal people pay twice the normal price.
And so is Sweet Frog frozen yogurt. Christian business, too.
I was thinking "Anal Musk with Dingleberries"
