The Skittles candy companys colorless campaign, meant to celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month, is being bashed and called a poorly veiled white supremacist stunt by social media users.
Skittles ditched its iconic colorful rainbow bags and released an ad that said: During Pride, only one rainbow matters. So, weve given up ours to show our support.
A portion of the profits from each bag of fruit-flavored candy (purchased exclusively at Tesco grocery stores) will go to LGBT charities, the company said.
But the ad campaign was slammed on social media, with several offended users equating the companys use of an all-white bag and candies to white supremacy.

I suppose black Skittles would have been better according to those people. Who would eat black Skittles?

Don’t try to be logical lol
They certainly were not logical .
Obviously their candy is white before they add the food coloring . They would never those colors adding it over black.
Their feel good backfired

Maybe it would be easier if we made a list of things that don’t trigger snowflakes. This is ridiculous.

Ya, we see Trayvon used to eat Skittles. How funny that now they are allegedly racist, in their attempt to show solidarity with the LGBT people..........

We’re watching the dans mort of evil camouflaged as good. But camouflage is only as good as your background and yesterday’s background is far too rapidly turning into today’s background. Why? Lateral connectivity and non-hierarchical data distribution via the internet, via Tesla, via DaVinci, via human genius. Ayn Rand wanted to be a counterweight to Georg Hegel, with mixed reviews from the critics of Nietsche, but she knew which clump of the many human psychoses was death to genius. If we don’t quickly become the vehicle for genius, and that includes artistic genius, say your prayers, man with a scythe commin’.
