Soap Company Dove is facing a wave of criticism after an advert they posted of a black woman seemingly taking off her shirt and skin to become a white woman went viral. 

'Your image has me scared s**tless at taking my clothes off!' 

In the now deleted picture, the four-panel shot shows a black woman in a chocolate brown shirt taking it off and revealing herself to be a white woman in a off-white shirt.

I mean, the redhead is far more attractive and looks a lot cleaner. So I get Doves point.

What's the issue??

What are they advertising exactly? Getting your criminal record expunged?

if that's the case, she's really, REALLY fricking stupid.

Do people not realize how dumb they say sound when they fake outrage like that?

Let's all be honest here, she'd be lucky if that happened.

Hasn't Dove gone very SJW lately? Love it when that tactic backfires.

It’s only a problem because the image became white.

If it’s soemthing that promotes white people, it’s automatically wrong.

It is interesting how these social issue types only go after soft targets like sympathetic companies or universities. It's a coward's tactic that yields "results" to feel good about but doesn't do any real good. If they wanted to go after a real social injustice, they would go after private prisons or Washington lobbyists, but they know they will have to work to be heard and they might not get the results they want. So they get university staff to back down on bullshite topics and pat themselves on the back. Lazy counts.

Dove chalks up a marketing win here. knows this will get the SJWs all up in arms,offers an "apology", gets all sorts of publicity.
It's not like the soap turned the black woman into an OT 10.
