Heres is one of the commercials, featuring a White, Black, Asian, and Hispanic woman





After being accused ot alienating Black women, Shea Moisture issued an apology

 

[Pale Man In Black]

How did I know etc etc
another day, another racist outrage.
I swear, its as if its 1920s Mississippi all over again.

I don't really understand what "trending" means, but it is never anything that I care about.

Lol if that ad offends someone they need to look at their life.

Its not enough that blacks are vastly over represented in ads, they need their own exclusive ads to boot.
Sounds pretty racist to me.

 

[Cubo de Sangre]

lol at "hair journey" being "minimized".

 

[dontsnitch]

That settles it, I'm not using Shea Moisture anymore.

To be clear the video in the op isn't the video that started the rustling.

But your point still stands, it's beyond full retard to get upset over something like that.

From what I read it was this one, not the one with just 1 white lesbian.

 

[Slippery Kantus]

Only racists are offended by the original ad.

 

[ripskater]

Shoulda just gone with this.

Trending on social media

Oh wow Black people being racist. Whats this ? The company caves in and apologizes ?

Can you imagine White people complaining about a fucking 'white product' having an ad featuring some other ethnic groups, then calling for boycotts ? No me neither, it doesn't happen. If it did the company wouldn't cave, they'd rally against it and everyone would 'shame' the boycotters for being racist.

Disgusting.

I'm sick and tired of all of these Black people who have major chips on their shoulders. They claim to be anti-racist, but they're honestly the biggest fucking racists about. They give stick to Women like Serena Williams for marrying a white man, call her a traitor and all sorts. Any Black person who has their head screwed on right, is labeled an 'uncle tom' and worse by some of these bitter fucks.

Somebody needs to tell these people that their hair is dead, and maybe they should follow suite if this is the hill they chose to die on.

Works both ways. Bunch of White people were outraged when Old Navy and State Farm featured commercials with mixed couples

Was there enough people making a stink to get the ad pulled?

No, because the White people got out called by mainstream media and their accounts got suspended
