LMAO! Everyone says it was a mistake and targeted black males - including the dope who signed it into law.

Its from the movie Tommy Boy. The buyer wouldn't buy from Tommy because the word "guarantee" was not on the box. In that picture the buyer is saying the words and pointing to the box "but its not on the box". The crime bill you mentioned was not on a box, but Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben are.

That's what happens when you have a lazy, entitled, selfish, self centered society more worried about being PC, Woke and SELF IMPORTANT than being visionaries and leaders.

It is easy not to be impacted by the crime bill, simply do not commit crime, lol.

Show me in the bill where it specially targeted blacks males. At that, since black males are by far the most violent group per capita in the US, they should probably be targeted, just as other groups are targeted.
The crime bill that was meant to go after 'super-predators who needed to be taken to heel.'

You're either very young or you don't read much.

I'm waiting to see a commercial that says, 'We stand with BLM. We did not waffle.'

Outdated images on fake rice and fake maple syrup are necessary for "visionaries and leaders"?

That's pretty sad.

Didn't you just post this as a reaction to new label on your High Fructose Corn Syrup sludge?

The dichotomy is amazing. Black people really should get over themselves, those labels aren't important. But if they're changed, why, that's a full-blown outrage, complete with "Totalitarian Oppression and TYRANNY".

The ability to see beyond the trivial, unimportant, mundane concerns of those who are not motivated to better their lives is a trait that characterizes visionaries and leaders.

So letting companies make marketing decisions without fake outrage and falsely claiming a product has been "banned!"?

Agreed.
