The world is a better place now. It wasn’t a problem from 1890-2019, but now in 2020, they woke!

It's truly sad and pathetic when a company's brand of a person is considered "racist" by the weakest minds of society, and said company then MUST change said brand or face protests. These "protests" often turn into riots by your fellow leftists.


Free market, it was their choice, they felt it was in their best interests. Nobody forced shite.

quote:

I'm sure you have no problem with companies or individuals being forced to change their brands, logos, opinions due to threat of protest/riot/force.



Again, not happening, they're choosing to do so. You're lazily conflating a lot of things here.

quote:


When conservatives start demanding and forcing VICE network/HBO/CNN to cancel their programming and begin airing small government, personal responsibility centric shows, and begin showing the statistics of centuries of Democrat control and what it has done to a certain segment of our population then i guess you can come here and state how ridiculous cancel culture is.


You give them way too much credit, they have no principles, they only care about making money. Viewing numbers drive these decisions and they try to follow changes in opinion/trends to stay relevant. See NFL 5 years ago and today. This is true for all media BTW.

quote:

But both you and I know, that will never happen. Conservatives seem to be more open to others opinions/ideas and have a more live and let live way of thinking.


If conservatives drove enough "votes" with their views/clicks/dollars they'd 100% make the change. Will that ever happen? Probably not, but trying to make as much money as possible is the only reason.

I'm sure all the left wing white soy boys and hairy pit females bought truckloads of Aunt Jemima syrup.

Can't they just change the image of Aunt Jemima to an old white lady? Or would that also be racist?

Well the fact that's he black and worked as a slave on a rice plantation is what the ill informed would say, I'd imagine. I'm just waiting for peanuts to be declared racist because of their association with George Washington Carver.

Would be hilarious if the company did that.

But not a chance that they would.
