DonS 3,063 Posted June 17, 2020 Sounds like Kellogg's use of a monkey mascot on Coco Pops is under fire as well. At least from disgraced UK politicians. I think this cereal is still called Cocoa Krispies in the US though? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-53060894 "Elves Lives Matter".

Looks like TJ is getting some attention now... https://www.yahoo.com/news/columbus-confederates-anger-statues-boils-121003016.html In Portland, Oregon, demonstrators protesting against police killings turned their ire to Thomas Jefferson, toppling a statue of the Founding Father who also enslaved more than 600 people.

KSB2424 3,082 Posted June 17, 2020 But in all seriousness for one sec.... Nobody focking cares that they changed the freakin' name of a pancake / waffle syrup. People just roll their collective eyes because its a symptom/example of how ludicrous some of this stuff going on really is getting too. It's comical at this point, might as well make fun of it and laugh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't believe it took this long to get where we are today with this bullshiot. They had a local talk show host here back in the late 90's that always had controversial topics regarding race. Would fire up both sides.Very entertaining guest and dialogue. He ended up getting fired. Not for his commentary but his topics and guests commentary. Had a local black comedian on who wrote a book about the names black people name their children. He looked at local and national birth announcements along with Census records. Fired in less than a month just for talking about it. But right before he was fired, he had a black preacher screaming racism in advertising and how corporations target minorities. Kool was my favorite. KFC was another one. I shook my head and laughed. And now it's here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
