Seriously though on the thread topic. Do you care? Like do you actually care? Do you care what's on your rice pack or the label on your sauce jar? Does it ACTUALLY bother you, does it ACTUALLY make you sad that it's being "erased"? I don't buy it. I think it's just that "if it seems woke, it'll annoy some folk". Just as simple as that. You're not boo-hooing about any other branding changes, just the ones that you think have been sparked by something that gets under your skin.

Book a holiday, take a nice bath, stop crying over ****ing cook-in stir fry sauce.

I agree TS - and to celebrate, I might go and treat myself to a lovely marathon bar :smug:

That's the question you should be asking the cancellers. Until they made the move, everything was fine.

I don't actually care, but I do question the motives of people who want to erase non-white faces from the shelves.

There are non-white faces across loads of products, it's just outdated images of slave-time mammi's, uncle toms, or minstrels, are a little past their sell by date, as the companies themselves have decided.

dont buy the product if it annoys you so much. Nobody is forcing you

You're trying but you haven't succeeded yet.

James Bond didn't work for you and Marathon to Snickers isn't going to cut it either. We're talking about erasing non-White characters from existence.

There's a black man on Reggae Reggae Sauce, a black man invented it so... that's okay. So why no black face on peanut butter? It was invented by black scientist George Washington Carver. I don't see why it's offensive to have a black face on a product and I've never heard anyone black complain.

Don't worry about it, I won't be.

it's the companies themselves that are making these decisions, and that is always based on their bottom line.

Black and half Jewish chef explaining, for those that have never heard a black person complain.

Or they were put under pressure to get rid of the non-White characters by the dirty tactics brigade.

Hold up.. if there is a stereotypical image of a Jewish person are you the only person able to take exception to it?
Is is a brand new concept for anyone to want to move away from imagery that may cause offence?

I thought he was the guy who chopped up the old president?

If you can't tell the difference between Levi Roots and uncle Ben there's no helping you :laugh:

Everytime I turn a football.or rugby Match on the telly, they're always preaching about highlighting and kicking racism in all it's forms out.

But when you highlight some then people come out in defence of it.

Mad World

Took me a minute, but.... LOL...

No, but I am the only person likely to take exception to it. The woke, it seems, haven't got around to anti-Semitism yet.

Nope he was born a slave but became the first ever African American to achieve a masters it was in agricultural science. Bit more impressive than Mr sun pat...don't you think?

I didn't think you were here for discussion, just the usual jibes. You can bore off.

I beg to differ.. ousting people from their homes, stealing their land money and propertyforcing them to live in shanty towns. That's antisemitism.

Aunt Bessie is still going strong :dance:

What about Captain Birdseye?

I'll Google it!! :)

They're both partying on the Mary Celeste with Lord Lucan and Michael Jackson, planning which black person to erase or whitewash next.

What about snap, crackle and pop?!
Power to the little people!!

Let me get this straight - you think that removing these images, is racism done by white people?

Also, you misattributed godwins law yesterday, so maybe fallacies aren't as easy for folks to grasp as you're telling Kizzy.

Joe biden:fc:

Not in general, just the cabal of Aunt Bessie, Captain Birdseye, Lord Lucan, and Michael Jackson.

So what does this actually mean?
