*black dudes found hanging from trees after BLM rallies*

"They probably just committed suicide! Can't a black man just kill himself without it being politicised?"

*stereotypical depiction of a black servant lady, which was advertised at one point by minstrel performers speaking in ebonics to white customers, gets withdrawn and redesigned to be less racially insensitive*

"BLACK MASCOTS ARE BEING ERASED, THIS IS THE WORST EXAMPLE OF BIGOTRY I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!!"

There has to be a certain username applicable to saying this to an account older than your own.

My coworker was repeating this argument all day yesterday, between this and statues being removed. Like he literally jumped straight into burning unfavorable library books as some sort of gotcha

Just one day I want people at my job to honor the unwritten rule of "no political discussion in a professional setting"

the brand is free to do as it wishes, and it's certainly not book burning to do so, though i'm sure some conservative somewhere will argue that it's iconoclasm

the history behind the brand and its models is interesting though

however, i was a little bothered to learn today that quaker oats (the parent company) was neither founded or run by quakers

Even if it is, you're perfectly free to burn your own books.

not sure exactly, but the decision was based on their perception of quakers and quaker ethics as good for branding/image

Are you suggesting that a sentient book doesn't have the right to self-immolation?

When I heard the news about the name change and all that I was like eh.

Then a news station posted it on Facebook and some people were whining about it. The worst thing is that they were like all 50 something year old people.

It's what I get for working at a job where all my department coworkers are insulated white guys that are 20-30 years older than me

I think the worst part was when he described the argument he got into with his live-in gf about it, and basically wrote off her stance as due to her being a minority (she's southeast Asian)

like, that's the point, you're a crusty old white guy that grew up on a farm in the boonies of Virginia and is detached from what's going on in the country right now
