Boots SLAMMED for "anti-white racism" in Xmas ad with Adjoa
Andoh who called royals "terribly white"



Boots has found itself at the centre of a social media storm after its Christmas
advert was branded a "woke monstrosity" by disgruntled viewers.

A particularly incensed individual commented: "Boots hires Britain-hating
actress to lead their Christmas TV Advert, the same woman who trashed the
Royal Family for being 'too white' a couple of years back."

A user on social media commented disdainfully on the new festive
advertisement from Boots, branding it: "The new Boots Christmas Ad is a
woke monstrosity. Super woke "Diversity" seems to be the theme."

Bill from Liverpool said: "I am outra..." before his bloodpressure spiked causing immediate full cardiac arrest.

Jean from Birmingham simply let out a garbled screech, and set about writing a Facebook message to Nigel Farage.

As soon as that vermin started speaking I had to stop watching the video.

[Glenn.]

This is the advert from the normal point of view and not the ignorant racist agenda

White people need to understand that black people are allowed to be on television

[Livia]

Are there any ads on TV that don't show black people?

There are 60,000 actors in the UK, yet Boots chose to hire andoh_adjoa
for their Christmas ad.

Last year, Andoh trashed the royal family as "terribly white" during the King's
Coronation.

Her casting sends a clear and deliberate message to white Britons

[Crimson Dynamo]

Boots is owned by Walgreens, an American pharmacy chain. Walgreens is
closing stores in minority areas due to unprofitability/crime - leading to
accusations of racism as minorities have a harder time accessing essential
pharmacy services.

The advert is actually taking the piss out of what it is pretending to celebrate

[Nicky91]

choosing someone who last year trashed the royal family as lead star in your advert


is definitely of poor taste, yes



combined with the facts they could've gone with any other POC actor, but the fact that they went with Ms Andoh they definitely had the intention to stir **** up, since even negative publicity is still publicity

[BBXX]

I thought the far right didn't believe in cancel culture. :laugh:

I like the ad, it seems to be more about how useless men can be while their wives are doing everything. Probably the same relationship dynamic the people who find the ad offensive are in. Maybe if the brits didn't go around colonising people who wanted to be left alone their country wouldn't be so diverse.

a Christmas advert slagging off Santa and saying he is old and lazy


why that is genius

:joker:

(In June 2023, it announced a strategy to close 650 of its UK outlets. Since
then, hundreds of Boots stores have said their final goodbyes. By the end of
October, Boots will have closed 300 stores in 2024 – and, as of the end of
September, 290 of those have already shut.)

When was the last time Britain colonised anyone? You realise how many countries Portugal colonised? Maybe you don't.

[Ninastar]

Apparently my ancestors were colonisers but some were also colonised???

I feel like it’s the same for everyone tbh. We all have colonisers and the colonised in our blood

I am just referring to Peter Lloyd and Dan Wooten, who I would class as far-right.

What was it Peter Lloyd said... Sticks and stones may break my bones but there will always be something to offend a far-right snowflake. Like an advert for a high street store :laugh:

They are right-leaning but to call them far right is ridiculous imo

Looks like the opposite to being cancelled, by be promoted.

It's old White men like Roy chubby Brown that get cancelled.

Nobody.

But they want her to be, because of something she said, which goes against everything they believe. But because she is a black woman she doesn't deserve to be employed in an advert because they got offended at words she used.

[Alf]

No wonder Boots is closing all its stores with idiots in charge who thought "yes this is a good idea"

:facepalm:

[BBXX]

Wanting to and actually taking action in doing so are different.

Yes, that's why I said "don't believe in cancel culture".

You can't cry about cancel culture being bad and then simultaneously advocate for it because they took offence to something someone said.

Also creating a 12 minute video and posting it to 200k followers is sort of taking action but I digress.

Not because she is a black woman. Because she insulted the royals and the public alike. I hold her in as low esteem as I held the white woman on the same couch who enthusiastically agreed with her. This woman has not been marginalised because if her race, far from it. She's played a regency duchess on TV, of which, in reality, there were none, she's played countless white historical figures including Richard III. As a black actress she has not been short of opportunities so why she would shoot herself in the foot by insulting the royals, on TV, on coronation day is quite beyond me.

It's not because she's black. It's because she is rude, thoughtless, entitled and tactless.

And non-far left leaning people then speaking out for the freedom to do their comedy routine of that said comedian, then those that do speak out, they get labelled with insults.

We didn't start the fire.

It's because she had an opinion they didn't agree with and because she is black. I didn't agree with her opinion also, I kind thought it was a little racist.

But I truly believe that if she was white and said something in a similar vein, and then people objected to her being employed, Dan Wooten would be one of the first people whining about cancel culture.

[Crimson Dynamo]

looks like the only work she can get now are adverts for failing shops that sell perfume

quite the fall from grace...

I am absolutely fine with people calling out cancel culture. I don't agree with it. However it's the hypocrisy in that here they are advocating for the very thing they so vehemently disagree with. That's the issue I have. I actually agree that cancel culture is extremely problematic.

She is in the cast for the new Wallace and Gromit Movie, and will be appearing in Season 4 of Bridgerton...

Her "opinion" became Ofcom's most complained about TV moment of 2024.

Put objectionable Katie Hopkins in a Christmas ad, see whether she's any better received because she's white. I doubt it.

Urgh... I am not saying she would be better received. But when she isn't, who do you think the first people would be to complain about the backlash? People like Dan and Peter. 100% guaranteed.

And in any case, I think you will find her opinion was Ofcom's 2nd most complained about moment of 2023. Guess who was the 1st? :laugh:

[bots]

the only adverts i see are when BB is on and i tend to zone out while they are on, so no outrage over here.

It is pretty simple to avoid adverts these days

Sometimes all it takes is a few black faces on an advert to have some stupid white people questioning if they’re in Africa. Crying that the world might not be white-dominated by 2060 as-if humans don’t originate from Ethiopia, as-if India and China alone don’t have the populations they have, as-if whities own the world and half the foreign products they use. This advert may or may not be about that but ignoramous stupidity from fragile, hopelessly stupid white people who think the world belongs to them absolutely exists.

I honestly don't think you're right on this. I think had it been any other black woman the backlash wouldn't have been so severe.

Still... I'm just a fragile, hopelessly stupid white person.

I did say I wasn’t necessarily talking about this video, Livia. I was talking in general. And as far as my general point is concerned, it is absolutely true. There’s no doubt about that. I’ve seen it undisguised with my own eyes enough times. Again, I wasn’t really talking about this video specifically.

All that time to quote my posts but cant answer why you support a rapist and sexual predator when you have daughters. Maybe you need some more time to explain your moral deficiency?

You didn’t answer me in the first place, hun.

Nicky is someone I have no time or respect for. My thoughts on the topic of this thread as a whole weren’t even that far-removed from yours but the fact that Livia had words with a known baiter who’s known for making racist comments isn’t the insert you needed to make here. The fact that he happens to have level 2 ASD is irrelevant. He’s not as vulnerable and helpless as you think he is. Not by a long shot.

[Glenn.]

Cool

[Redway]

You make some good points and yet, Livia comes out of this looking much better than you do. Making Nicky sound helpless just because he has a diagnosis that half the world (including our Ali Bromley) seems to want to associate with these days. None of that’s an excuse for his own racism.

[Glenn.]
