Mixed-race family asks Blue Bell Ice Cream to change flavor name to be more inclusive

“These slugs are just looking for a Payday!”

A ‘Payday’ candy bar is WHITE in the middle! I’m gonna SUE!

OMG! These people!!

[DazedVet]

Text book example of victim in training.

[skimbell]

That's a woke ice cream.

Sort of a rainbow, BLTW/M and all.

[Unam Sanctam]

Can people please stop racializing and politicizing every freaking little thing?!

[RetiredTexasVet]

I wonder if any of the Marxist State Media social justice warriors stopped for a minute and thought about what an ignorant request that was?

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I think that’s the Continental Divide.

[Tammy8]

If they are not happy with the name of an ice cream flavor, they can choose another. This is one of the silliest things I have ever heard. I live near the Continental Divide- is that racist or a Civil War reference? Insanity.

People are sure beginning to think they are special, I would never dream of asking a company to change a name of a flavor for any reason for me or my family. So many standing around yelling ME, ME, ME! No wonder we have such a hard time getting things done that require that people work together.

[Menehune56]

These people really need to get a life.

[Fiji Hill]

Blue Bell should answer: No.

That's the proper response. But I'm betting that they will issue a public apology, order their employees into diversity training, and agree to make a hefty donation to Black Lives Matter.

[EdnaMode]

I don’t think air is considered racist (yet).

[Drew68]

When the family bought a tub of it for a celebration, her oldest child said the line down the middle reminded him of the Mason-Dixon line.

WOMP-WOMP!

[mabarker1]

Stop creating this Racis' Crap about everything !!!

Enough of this $&!T

Blue Bell Y'All better not change anything!

[EdnaMode]

LOL. That’s hilarious. They have a good sense of humor.

[TADSLOS]

...and it looks like the homo flag.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Bipolitan perhaps?

[who_would_fardels_bear]

All the chocolate melts off to the west and all the vanilla melts off to the east...

[vannrox]

Agreed. People and businesses need to put our collective foot down.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Farrell's ice cream parlor used to have something called the "Super Purist" which was all vanilla.

I'm sure someone grouched about that too.

[Rebelbase]

There are two continental divides and neither offers an Atlantic or Pacific option only.

[DoughtyOne]

This is what happens when you allow the children to run the nation. (And if anyone thinks I mean age related children they’re wrong. We have way too many adult children mucking things up.)

Tell the little pip-squeak to pipe down.

And who the hell stresses the Masson-Dixon line to young children anyway?
