WOKE up this morning ....

[voice]

Well the English are not as stupidly obsessed by culture war BS as you extreme right in the US, so I doubt people in the UK will be burning their Dove products or running them over with a truck simply because the Dove company uses a fat chick to advertise its products.

[mids]

The left are still utterly obsessed with waging their woke culture war that they started but are now losing badly.

[voice]

I’m sure you used to be better at this, these days you appear to be reduced to simply repeating what others just said with a massive emphasis on projection

Is your heart in this any more?

[mids]

[voice]

I'm flattered, really I am, but at this point it feel a bit stalky.

[rick49]

The KKK definitely was not supporting limited segregated events.

I don’t know why you cannot understand the difference between Jim Crow and just random one of segregated events.

The fact that we separate some things by sex does not make us the same as Saudi Arabia in terms of sex segregation.

And the irony is the people who are complaining the loudest about one kids event for black and Latino children would never want their children mixing with Latinos and black kids anyway.

by todays woke standards all blacks in the 1960's who fought for an end to jim crow are uncle tom's and race traitors.

[rick49]

Almost as bad as "I need to see people who look like me...".

or "i need to be around people like me." heads would explode if whites said that.

[flatandy]

Is that a problem many white people in the US or UK face? Do they not see white people in positions of authority and power, in schools or in universities, on TV and film, as CEOs of businesses, as douchey tech bros and hedge fund traders and lawyers and so on?

[mids]

The "I don't see people who look like me flying to the moon and stuff so I won't be able to" people are weird and creepy. The clue's in the word "people", people.

[flatandy]

I don't understand it either. But as someone who's always seen people like me being handed the world on a platter, I haven't the faintest idea what it's like to only have potential role models in a very tiny number of fields. Even more so if those fields are cotton fields. So I (and other boring old white men) are in no position to judge whether it's meaningful or not.

quite the spokesperson dove chose to champion.

Dove hit by growing BOYCOTT for hiring BLM activist Zyahna Bryant who ruined white student Morgan Bettinger's life
www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12521083/dove-boycott-zyahna-bryant-BLM-morgan-bettinger.html

'During the summer of 2020, BLM protesters were gathered on a partially blocked Charlottesville street. Morgan Bettinger, also a UVA student, began to drive down the street and then realized it was blocked off by a dump truck. Bettinger parked and started to walk down the street to see what was happening. As she passed by the truck, she had a brief conversation with the truck driver and made remarks to the effect of, “It’s a good thing that you are here because otherwise these people would have been speed bumps." The comments were meant to praise the presence of the truck so no protesters would be hurt by any possible oncoming traffic."

"But in a twisted game of telephone, Bettinger's comments made it through the crowd and turned into Bettinger calling the protesters speed bumps and saying she was going to run them over. BLM protester Bryant then took it upon herself to post an account of the incident on X, formerly Twitter. But that wasn't enough for Bryant. She immediately began demanding that school administrators expel Bettinger. Bryant also filed a complaint with the University Judiciary Committee, claiming to the student-run disciplinary committee that Bettinger had "threatened students’ health and safety."

"The committee sided with Bryant. But Bryant wasn't done yet. She then filed a complaint with UVA's Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights. It is here that Bryant got a bit creative with the story, claiming that Bettinger had repeated the alleged speed bump statement five times and had racially discriminated against her. Thankfully, the EOCR Office engaged in a bit of common sense and determined that Bryant did not hear the comments being repeated herself because no one could be found that could corroborate the claim. Despite this, Bettinger has since graduated from UVA but feels the whole incident, along with the committee verdict, greatly impaired her chances of getting into law school. Bryant did admit later that she might have "misheard" Bettinger's comments. Nice of her to say after virtually destroying someone's life."

so she makes up a false story just to destroy someone, admits she made up a false story, and she will be richly rewarded for it by dove to advance wokeness and dove can posture and look cool and with it.

[rick49]

dove deserves the bud-lite treatment.

Fat liberation. Fat. Liberation. Isn't that what eating properly and doing some exercise is?


"In an accompanying clip Bryant, who is proudly plus-size herself, said: 'My belief is that we should be centering the voices and experiences of the most marginalized people and communities at all times.



So when I think about what fat liberation looks like to me, I think about centering the voices of those who live in and who maneuver through spaces and institutions in a fat body.'"

Good for Dove.
