A black female-owned feminine hygiene company was bombarded with negative reviews and online abuse after it was featured in a Target commercial

n the commercial, founder and CEO Beatrice Dixon says, "The reason why it's so important for The Honey Pot to do well is so the next black girl that comes up with a great idea -- she can have a better opportunity."


snowflake racists can't handle a successful minority business talking about making other minorities successful.

fucking pathetic

I feel the commercial could have just focused on women in general but they went and made it about race themselves.

Racism is no longer an issue in America though. This is just another case of those uppity minorities playing victim.

Dixon said the company isn't trying to exclude anyone.
"Our tagline is 'Made by humans with vaginas, for humans with vaginas,'" she said. "That means anybody."

"they're the ones who made it about race, we just responded!" is the first stupid defence I thought of when I saw this topic

A. I....I have a vagina?

B. Seems exclusionary towards trans women...

However, doesn't sound like any hate was deserved, despite that poor phrasing bolded...
Certainly not race based hate speech
