People thought it was capitalizing on the holiday to sell ice cream.

Don't blame the people, blame the company for thinking that was a clever thing to name it. They can still name it red velvet cheesecake and sell it.

Only looked at one article, but nope.

I was actually looking forward to that, but I guess another company makes a similar ice cream so may have to check that out.

This is real cultural appropriation. Not fake prom dress shit. Old White men in suits rip off a black owned business to make an inferior product to sell with the name of an emancipation milestone.

Do they have that flavor trademarked? Did they invent it? Are they the only ones that have it? "Walmart has ice cream flavor that black owned ice cream shop also has" doesn't exactly raise red flags for me.

1 I agree that creamalicious deserves credit for its flavor
2 Is pulling the product helping Juneteenth and creamalicious or would letting the product run do more to help Juneteenth and creamalicious?
3 I totally get that Walmart is not a force for good anymore than Google or Amazon.
4 Sounds like getting Walmart to spend a percentage of its Juneteenth profiteering on narrowing the gap is a lost cause.

An article I read said basically people were pissed that Walmart is making an ice cream based on a racial holiday to maximize their profits instead of contributing to a black owned ice cream company to help build up the people the say they are supporting with their new flavor.

I'm guessing on this next point, also the money that would have been made would have been put in the companies pocket instead of maybe going to black/minority/Juneteenth causes.

Basically Walmart wanted to capitalize on something and try to make money off of it while not actually supporting the thing.

I know you're special kid, but the answer to those questions are pretty easy to figure out. And clearly Walmart recognized how tone deaf there Juneteenth product line was since they're pulling things.

New to capitalism? Everything will be exploited once it has enough widespread recognition for corporations to see it as worth exploiting.

If this issue is black people being marginalized, then employ tactics that lead to black people not bein marginalized instead of tactics which make you feel good.

Do you believe that getting Walmart to pull its [arguably pirated] Juneteenth icecream accomplishes this? At best Juneteenth lost free boosting of public awareness and free advertising of red velvet icecream swirled with cheese cake.

The fuck are you talking about awareness? The whole point is the original creator should be entitled to ALL the money
