Some "highlights" from the press release:
The murder of George Floyd was the result of inhumane police brutality that is perpetuated by a culture of white supremacy. What happened to George Floyd was not the result of a bad apple; it was the predictable consequence of a racist and prejudiced system and culture that has treated Black bodies as the enemy from the beginning. What happened to George Floyd in Minneapolis is the fruit borne of toxic seeds planted on the shores of our country in Jamestown in 1619, when the first enslaved men and women arrived on this continent.
...
First, we call upon President Trump, elected officials, and political parties to commit our nation to a formal process of healing and reconciliation. Instead of calling for the use of aggressive tactics on protestors, the President must take the first step by disavowing white supremacists and nationalist groups that overtly support him, and by not using his Twitter feed to promote and normalize their ideas and agendas. The world is watching America’s response.
Second, we call upon the Congress to pass H.R. 40, legislation that would create a commission to study the effects of slavery and discrimination from 1619 to the present and recommend appropriate remedies. We cannot move forward together as a nation until we begin to grapple with the sins of our past. Slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation were systems of legalized and monetized white supremacy for which generations of Black and Brown people paid an immeasurable price. That cost must be acknowledged and the privilege that accrued to some at the expense of others must be reckoned with and redressed.

Maybe B & J could come up with a racially sensitive ice cream flavor name?
IF we go by what B&J’s says, then the real “solution” is to send em all back to whatever shithole they were taken from in Africa.
Whadda bunch of morons...just fanning the flame of racism. Ain’t libs just wonderful? /s
Guess these people forgot that the first slave in the United States was owned by a black person, IIRC. If I had not had a dairy allergy, I certainly would not be buying Ben and Jerry’s products.
Ben and Jerry need to divest themselves of their homes, money, and all assets in reparation.
Maybe their addresses would help.
How about fruity floyd?
No U.S. No Ben and Jerry’ ancestors!
No, it was just a few murderous cops and a felon on drugs resisting arrest. But way to be America haters you fat pigs.
Hmmmm....Toxic Seeds....I smell a new ice cream flavor in the works ...maybe made from the hemp plant.
Ben and Jerry are fruits born of a toxic seed.
It was the fruit born of drugs, a society of promiscuity and the bastards born from that.
Please tell me that no one that calls themselves FReepers eat this product . . . well, maybe FLeepers do.
FUBJ
They did! Last September!
Nothing tastes sweeter than justice.
Today, Ben & Jerry’s founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, and nonprofit partner the Advancement Project, announced the brand’s newest ice cream flavor on the Ben & Jerry’s Facebook page: It’s called Justice ReMix’d, a cinnamon and chocolate ice cream with chunks of cinnamon bun dough, spicy fudge brownies, and an aftertaste of ending “structural racism in our broken criminal legal system,” according to the release.
Everybody can escape to their ancestral homelands.
Just this morning I told the gf we should have transported them all back to their home nations.
If I, an Irishman, had been sold to a foreign power by other Irishman, and shipped away, I’d expect to be returned to Ireland upon receiving my freedom.
I didn’t buy their ice cream anyway.
Last time I checked slavery ended about 150 years ago. The democRAT “Great Society” spent trillions of dollars to do what they are demanding. That’s worked well, hasn’t it? How can morons like this run a successful ice cream company?
Commie liberals sure do hate America. Wish they’d all leave.
“The murder of George Floyd was the result of inhumane police brutality that is perpetuated by a culture of white supremacy.”
So what does Ben and Jerry’s call 6,000 black on black murders in 2015?
