Dont buy any more Ben and Jerry's overpriced ice-cream
 


murder :facepalm:

embarrassing virtue signaling for $$

Alf 16-04-2021 07:33 PM

Tomorrow, Cadbury’s complain of Black supremecy, and everybody is fine with that and support Cadbury's in their opinion.

Sorry to Cadbury's for using you for my sarcasm. They're not really doing this, but they could do if they wanted.

What will they do without their diabetic right wing market

You make the right wing sound like they're the only sensible ones.

I'm fairly certain it's not the ice-cream. Ice-cream doesn't have opinions. This is the opinion of millionaires, and that's who's getting the criticism.

Just the same as you getting angry at me for my opinions. Just because they're a million dollar company, doesn't mean they're exempt from criticism, particularly when they make racist statements. I thought we was supposed to get angry with and call out racism?

Not sure how calling a murderer a murderer is racism

So if I highlight a murder committed by a non Caucasian and I say it's because of a problem with Black supremecy, you'd support me in that, would you?

No, not really, because 'black supremacy' isn't really a thing in America, white supremacy most definitely is a thing and it's a big problem.

Consider the recent white, right wing nut who went on a shooting spree and got ARRESTED instead of shot. Now ask yourself why so many black cizitens in America are being shot by the police.

If that's the case, then by using your same logic. Ben and Jerry are crying about Black genocide that doesn't exist.

Ohh haven't had any in ages, might get some tomorrow quite fancy some caramel chew chew

Alf 16-04-2021 10:02 PM

1My opinion is that this tweet was purposely put out to keep division, all these multi companies are behind it, all, all. If you keep telling people that they're under some racial supremecy, then some people believe it and are going to react to that in a bad way. Like beating people to a pulp or killing people purely for the colour of their skin, and then before you know it, you're living under tyranny.

Divided we the people are weak, together we are strong.

Tom4784 17-04-2021 01:06 AM

You don't unify people by accepting systemic racism, that's just being silent.

Their marketing didn't work on me, but Lt's promotion of their marketing did!

I'll make sure to get some tomorrow now. Thank you for highlighting this wonderful company!

One of the few companies with an actual ethical practice and have done since their inception. The amount of work they've done for environmental causes alone eclipses the competition, and they were ahead of the curve when it came to fairtrade, organic product sourcing.

I'm sure some will see this issue as divisive (whilst also whinging about cancel culture in other topics) but the fact is the policing system in America is failing on all levels. Their brutality and training isn't lowering crime rates, and never has done, and you can ignore the racial profiling and trigger-fingers, or point to outdated gun laws all you want, but a large majority of people want reform in some way, and if a private business wants it too then... sure, boycott them if you want. Not sure it'll have any impact on their sales when they're the biggest and best 'premium' brand going. (Haagen Dasz SUCKS and ALWAYS sucked)

They're a great company.

Look Putting
Defund The Police

on a Tweet

Draws a Mega Line
against the President of USA

Crimson Dynamo 17-04-2021 08:23 AM

Last year the idiot company tweeted

". ‘Hey @PritiPatel we think the real crisis is our lack of humanity for people fleeing war, climate change and torture. We pulled together a thread for you,' it posted on Twitter. The thread consisted of a couple of points nicked from the far left failing Guardian, Huffpost and migration activists.

:facepalm:

Crimson Dynamo 17-04-2021 08:25 AM

Also they are at odds with the actual black community. According to Gallup, while black Americans of course want better policing, 81 per cent still want police to spend the same amount of time or more time in their area.

...so who are those who abhor cancel culture actually cancelling then...is it Ben and Jerry’s and their company ethics or is it Unilever... because Unilever would require an awful lot of cancelling and ‘do not buy’ stuff going forward...with 400 company brands to reconsider and cancel...Walls, Domestos, Dove, Lifebuoy, Persil, Pears...Signal toothpaste, as well as other popular brands of toothpaste...Sunsilk, Surf, Vaseline, Tresemme products, Knorr, Lipton and other popular U.K. tea brands....just a few of the 400 brands they own and each brand with their own individual company ethics, which they’re all entitled to have, all companies do ....and Unilever are also providing many, many U.K. jobs....


...so to be fair and even and consistent, if it’s Unilever that is not to be bought from anymore and they're in the cancelling range now...there are numerous products that need to leave our homes right now, I imagine with a complete change to our shopping choices...
