There are still some companies out there that seem intent on proving that they’ve learned absolutely NOTHING from what happened to Bud Light.
You remember Bud Light, the brand that used to be the best selling beer in America before they went woke and ignored their core consumers? They did the whole DEI thing with some flake by the name of Dylan Mulvaney, a dude pretending to be a dudette and faster than you can spill a beer while riding a mechanical bull…people went looking for a new brand.
It should come as no grand surprise that Heinz has joined in the buffoonery.
You might remember the BLM from buying mansions for the enjoyment of their Marxist leaders while doing nothing for the people they claimed to represent. Well, last week, the BLM got their panties all wadded up over a couple of ads put out by Heinz and decided to raise a stink. Naturally, it’s a load of crap, but since remodeling those mansions is probably done, they had nothing better to do.
One ad produced by the condiment company for their European ketchup campaign as a nod to the new “Joker” movie portrayed a series of models with ketchup all over their lips…ala the Joker’s absurd makeup. Well…ONE of those models was a black man, and just like the white models, he sported a big grin and ketchup-covered lips. The BLM wasn’t having it. They went nuts and claimed that the ad, shown here, bears resemblance to historically racist caricatures,” carried “blackface connotations,” and contains imagery invoking 19th-century minstrel shows, in which white actors portrayed black people as dimwitted and buffoonish.
Anybody who might look at that image and instantly think of 19th century blackface minstrels is obviously a RACIST. ANYBODY…and that means YOU…BLM.
Of course, Heinz quickly offered up a woke, heartfelt apology for the horribly offensive ad and immediately…pulled it from the view of the public, not wanting to offend 19th century minstrels.
But wait…what about THIS ad featuring a beautiful black woman sporting bright red lips as part of some lipstick ad campaign? Obviously, she must be a white supremacist. She, according to the BLM’s logic, is promoting stereotypes more than a century old because SHE’S A DAMNED RACIST!!! That ad needs to be taken down immediately, but that’s not all.
Henceforth, NO black men, women, or men pretending to be women should be allowed to wear red lipstick forever more. Oh, sure, it’s just fine to let black men, women or men pretending to be women prance about with blonde hair and blue contact lenses…that’s not cultural appropriation al at all, but let any white chick (outside of Rachel Dolezal) put corn rows in their hair and there will be HELL TO PAY.
What’s good for the white goose should be what’s good for the black swan…don’t you think?
The second ad that had the BLM more riled up than Joe Biden five minutes past pudding time was the Heinz campaign called “Family Portraits.” That campaign was trying to illustrate a bride’s wedding day when she indulged in Heinz’s new family-sized pasta sauce at her reception in spite of wearing a white dress.
The illustration featured the bride, a black woman seated next to her husband, a white man. There was an older black woman, supposedly the bride’s mother next to the new husband on one side, and what was supposed to be the husband’s parents on the other side next to the new bride. Nowhere to be seen…the bride’s father, which lit the BLM’s hair on fire like a 7-11 in Minneapolis. Oh, yeah, they were pissed.
Naturally, according to the BLM, the illustration was perpetuating the “erasure” of the black father from the family unit as per some supposed stereotype, but how are we to know for sure that the missing father of the bride was…black? Are we to take for granted that old-timey couples were always of the same race, while current couples are required to meet a woke agenda marker where relationships are concerned? I mean, if that’s so, as it sure seems to be by the “complexion” of most commercials we see today, then why is it that the BLM, which CLAIMS to stand for the entirety of the black “community” seems to have no problem with mixed relationships?
Personally, I don’t give a crap about people’s skin color, but the BLM sure does.
Putting that aside for the moment, let me delve into this a bit deeper. Let’s say, for the sake of argument, that the missing bride’s father was black, just as the BLM apparently insists he was…what reason or reasons could there possibly be for him to be missing? Perhaps that particular father of the bride had died. Black men are somewhat more prone to certain medical conditions, like high blood pressure or diabetes that could cause them to prematurely cease to fog a mirror.
Maybe the bride’s father is pretending to be a woman and is actually the person seated next to the new husband’s father, which would then mean that it’s really the HUSBAND’S father who is missing. Seriously, unless you would happen to walk into the men’s room at the reception and see who you thought was the husband’s mom standing at the urinal aiming for the giant blue breath mint…you may never have guessed.
Maybe the new bride’s parents were divorced and the restraining order taken out by the bride’s mother prevented him from attending, or maybe…just maybe…the bride’s black father was in prison because the wedding took place in California and Kamala Harris had him locked up for smoking a joint.
Given the current state of woke companies bowing to the nonsensical pressure from woke idiots over the past couple of years, and removing long loved and time honored characters from advertising and packaging, there is another possible reason why the bride’s father was not shown in this illustration, but it’s a possibility I dismissed after careful consideration.
Why remove Uncle Ben when Aunt Jemima is sitting right there next to the groom?
To be clear, at the bottom right corner of the illustration in question, it says, “Based on a true story.” That would indicate that someone either told the story to Heinz, or perhaps showed them a photo from the event in which there was no father of the bride pictured, but the BLM has no interest in honesty or accuracy and would rather bitch about reality and call it a stereotype than address reality.
Here’s the dose of reality the BLM wants companies to ignore. In 2020, the last year for which data has been made available, 48% of Black children lived in a home headed by a single parent, and that parent was nearly always the mother, and 32% of African-American fathers rarely to never visit their children. That’s compared to only 20.7%of white children living in a fatherless home. In fact, a more recent study found that in 2022, 81% of Asian children lived with both married birth parents, as did 70% of white children, 55% of Hispanic children, and 51% of multiracial children.
According to that study, only one-third of Black children lived with married birth parents. That’s roughly 33% for kids in Chicago, where only 16% of eighth graders scored at or above the NAEP Proficient level for math.
So, why am I bringing this nonsense to the table with only two weeks to go until the most important election in our nation’s history? Simple – the BLM is a Marxist organization, and Kamala Harris is a Marxist candidate. Perhaps more importantly, Barack Obama LOVES the BLM, and Obama (also a Marxist) is Kamala’s puppet master, so unless you want to see the BLM and this sort of woke DEI crap rise to the equivalent of a cabinet level non-governmental organization setting domestic policy you need to vote a straight Republican ballot from the top of it to the bottom.
As for Heinz and their bowing to wokeness…there are plenty of other brands on the shelf.
