this kinda crap actually cheapens the BlackLivesMatter movement to be honest. It's a box of cereal.

Swan 16-06-2020 02:40 PM

What about Nesquik though, that has a brown bunny!!!

All cereals are racist, confirmed.

The coco pops monkey is iconic, the 3 lil white twinks can go if owt.

Its just another 'jump on the bandwagon' we do not need MP's who waste time on crap like this ,so glad she no longer is one ! but you are on point it does cheapen the BLM movement .

The keyboard warrior brigade have been out in force ~ just one big slanging match and George is getting lost in it all sadly.

Fgs. She probably googled "brands with monkey logo/emblem/mascot" found the first one that came with chocolate and was excited, she had found her little twitter storm.

Sad bitch.

Very True

Strictly Jake 16-06-2020 10:47 PM

But its a monkey????

How is it racist?

If anything its racist for her to liken black people to monkeys?

Loads of cereal have animals representing them, the point being is to look attractive to children so they eat breakfast

She could have said "Big companies should have more diversity in their advertising" and it would have sounded more sensible

Yeah I think it can get too silly and over the top , cocoa pops has nothing to do with race .

Most of these kids cereals have animal or cartoon mascots, I don't see the issue.

Shopping today there seemed to be walls of Uncle Bens rice :laugh:, reckon they are trying to sell them off before they have to pull them from the stores

Some of these companies wanna get up off their knee and get a grip.

It's a shame her history is being erased, I saw this on Twitter:
Nancy Green, (aka Aunt Jemima) was born into slavery. She was a magnificent cook. When she was 'freed' she rolled her talent that into a cooking brand that GM bought & used her likeness. She died in 1923 as one of America's first black millionaires.

So they're just in panic mode, tearing every down...

Cherie 19-06-2020 12:55 PM

Just looked at the back story to the Uncle Ben logo, it was based on the First African American rice farmer in Texas, in 2007 the logo had a makeover and Uncle Ben was promoted to Chairman of the board...
