This is how they push the Overton window in their direction and it's why there's a pretty sizable push for democratic socialism that is NOT being represented by the media. Both parties are full of neo-conservative politicians because this is what the corporations pay for.
Your mistake is in assuming the media is at all representative of what people think. Pepsi did this to look good. They don't give a fuck about BLM they just want to make money. -

Poor old Aunty J was broght up to current standards and now appears as a perfectly normal woman of color and YET they still say it's a racist image.
At the same time they complain about blacks and women not getting the same opportunities as whites…
What the fuck??? we put the image of a NORMAL LOOKING BLACK WOMAN on a VERY SUCCESSFUL product and you still want it removing…and then complain black/women don't get enough positive exposure.
SMH as the color and gender friendly DTE would say.
right, so does this mean black skin is not acceptable? Will black ppl have to paint their skin other colour/s?
Its mind-boggling to sane ppl. -

Most people are fairly sane. It's the media that makes you believe otherwise by painting large swathes of people in a certain light. I mean, none of us are really special in any way. You're just as intelligent as the rest of the populace. Do you really think other people don't see this? I am a hardcore socialist and even I think this is ridiculous. Most people who are talking about this are talking about the history of the company. It is Pepsi themselves who decided to pull it. The brand name doesn't really matter to them, nor does the 'loss of sales' they'd experience. They probably own like half the other syrups on the shelf anyway. People will just buy those instead.
It's ALL about looking good in the media. These conglomerates don't do anything because they think its 'morally just.' This is why almost every company is putting out some sort of fucking statement about it. I went on Xbox yesterday and there was a 'pride month games special' Like what the fuck? I know Borderlands 3 doesn't give a fuck about this. They just want to sell games. That's all any of this is.
Talk to real people and get real opinions instead. You'll see it isn't an accurate portrayal of the media. Most people are fairly reasonable and can be reasoned with this. Anyone protesting about this shit is among the most opinionated in the country and not representative of most people.
I mean, do YOU agree with everything the media says. No? Then why should anybody else? Because you're 'smarter than them'? Protip: Everybody thinks they're smarter than everybody else. -

2020-06-18 at 4:06 PM UTCIf Pepsi were smart they would capitalize on the fact that the original model for their syrup was a freed slave. They could talk about how they supported free black women in a time when nobody else did. Or something.

Colonel Sanders also stole his secret recipe from a old woman black slave cook he owned. And Sanders is Jewish, to boot.

When I moved into a new house with exwife #1 her 90 something grandmother was there on the day we were moving in to "inspect the situation"...we were standing in the front driveway and the neighbor came out to go to his car, he happened to be a black man.
The grandmother said loudly "Is that a nigger?"
What a nice introduction to the neighborhood...of course that's the term her early 1910s era upbringing used and she didn't mean it as offensive, even though it obviously was. -
2020-06-18 at 4:47 PM UTCIt that the house the ex still lives in?
-
2020-06-18 at 4:48 PM UTCNo. That one is out in the country, the nearest neighbor is 1/8th of a mile from that house/land and they were all white.
