Nivea Pulls ‘White Is Purity’ Ad After Backlash

[Capt Caveman]

Can somebody please articulate their feelings about why this offends them.

Did you read the article?

was posted on Facebook and targeted at followers in the Middle East

 

[pcgeek11]

And that makes it racist how?

" The ad, which feature a woman with wavy tresses tumbling over an all-white outfit, was posted on Facebook and targeted at followers in the Middle East. But people were quick to condemn the German skin care company’s message, linking it with white supremacy."

I fail to see where this links to white supremacy. It's a deodorant ad.

Troll harder, troll.

But you are a racist so...

Really you are just someone whose only accomplishment is they have white skin. history.txt

You do need to look up on the definition of "racist". Calling out bad behavior/stupidity regardless of race, creed, nationality, etc. =! racist.

I also do strongly believe in MLK's words about treat everyone equally based on their characters and not their skin colors. So racist eh? 😀

Carry on with your race card. Carry on because it is all you have.

Yet you stereotype people based on their skin color and religion. And look who created another thread about racism.

I call a spade as a spade. If you or anyone are butt hurting about that, it is not my problem. Oh, care to post anything I say about anyone purely just because of their skin color or about religion as you claim (and not because of their own bad behavior/stupidity)?

Don't like my thread(s), hit the road. Oh, I still have the print screen about the thread of the former police chief of Dallas that you bitched and whined about. Just say "please" and I will post it for everyone to laugh at. 😀

White is a color with symbolic meaning of purity, cleanliness, as well as death depending on the culture. It's not Nivea's fault that people have become culturally unaware and racially hyper aware. Colors should not be a basis for offense if they are used outside of the context of skin color. In this case it is clothing and deodorant that doesn't alter the color. This is acceptable. Move along. You don't have to catch and fry a big fish every day, there are still a lot of opportunities to troll though. Just don't be desperate is all I ask.

"there ain't no racial bigotry" --bigots

btw moment, ever figured out yet why calling blacks chimps might also elicit that label?

Links that I called minorities solely based on their skin color and NOT because of their bad behavior/stupidity/illegal actions? Of course not.

Let see what other posters said about you. Look like more and more people are about to see your true color: (folks, these are just a small sample about this troll)

This it his MO. He will pick out a thing and run with it until it's proven otherwise and then he will move the bar so far to either side that it makes it impossible to follow him. He has started out a saying one thing and when someone he does not like agrees with him he will modify his stand so as to exclude the sentiment that they are in agreement over. If he feels that that might be too much of a risk and that it's to transparent, he will just ridicule the poster by using some form of; yes but you're too stupid to understand why. He has made a joke of himself and reduces every thread he enters into a school yard battle of insults and bullying. I had him on ignore for a while but I missed the drool and contortions he uses to prop himself up. He is sort of a case study for me.

Actually the world headlines came first and I haven't seen ANY mention of "browns" in any of the news articles. You're the only one obsessed in that way.

You're the one that won't shut up about race. I focus my hate on cultists.

Keep telling minorities as "darkies" and "browns". Keep pulling the race card, troll. And I am still here and you are still unable to do a thing but make a fool out of yourself, again and again. 😀

Imagine how much harder it would to cast conservatives as a pack of degenerates without peers like you.

Links, bitch or STFU. Also, where did I say no racial bigotry as you claimed? Post it.

Oh, links for all the accusations you have for SNC, momeNt, glracer, etc.

Dear the readers, look how the pathetic troll will wimp out and fold like a lowlife bitch, again as usual. Just point and laugh at him. 😀

You're wasting your time. His name is a huge fuckin' clue...

"00f!, that's some of the dumbest shit I've read outside of youtube comments"

Keep that in mind, and you'll enjoy your stay much more ;^)

LOL, dumbshit degenerates just can't wait to align themselves with the guy who calls blacks chimps.

Is this your get out of an argument free card? Will you use this to invalidate every topic he posts in? Are you capable of crafting an argument or must you latch on to something he said completely unrelated to the subject and keep harping on it as if it matters to the topic at hand?

Can you tell my Svnla calling a person a chimp in another topic has to do with Nivea's ad campaign offending people's racial sensibilities? You are pathetic.

 

[WelshBloke]

Really you are just someone whose only accomplishment is they have white skin.

I always assumed that English was his second language. He does that thing where his grammar falls apart when he gets worked up.

It's certainly not an important thing but I always assumed that he was an Asian dude. I might have to recalibrate my mental image now. 🙁

I know he is just a pathetic lying troll and I just love to pwne him over and over again with facts. See how he is still unable to fight back with facts and logic but more lying and trolling.

Correct. Calling out a person because of her bad behavior/illegal action (hanging on the rail of the bus and kicking another passenger in the face muliple times) =! calling all minorities as he claimed multiple times. That's why the lying troll could not post anything about me calling anyone solely because of their race.

What my race/creed/nationality/background has anything to do with the topic of the thread? Nada, zip, none.

Better luck next time.

 

[alien42]

Can you tell me why it's racist and why you're offended. "That's racist" and "I'm offended" is not a reason. otherwise your post is badically another "really Nivea?"

i never said i was offended and didn't exactly say "that's racist" either.

you want to take another shot at your response?

maybe do at least the basic amount of thinking before posting complete bullshit.

Tell me how it "could be taken as straight racist" to use your own literal response. I can only assume your participation in this thread is to justify the backlash that Nivea faces, is it not? So provide justification by at least telling me how it could be taken as straight racist.

On a side note, you are quite hostile, calling me a simpleton and calling my posts bullshit.

white wedding gowns represent purity. is that racist?

I never said or implied that it did. This is a message board with lots of long time users and you get a mental image of other posters over time. That one comment threw my mental image of you is all.

Kinda funny that when the topic was about minorities/related matter in the US, somehow (from some of the posters here) I became an old evil white male living in the deep South that hating all minorities but when the topic was about something outside the US, such as Asia, then I became a Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese/Filipino/<insert a nationality here>. Goodness I did not know I could have that kind of power.

When certain posters can not debate with facts and logic (and back up their statements with well know sources), then they pull the race card. Just saying.

Do you actually read other people's posts before replying?
I explained exactly why I said what I said and that it wasn't a big thing but you seem insistent on making it an issue.

If it was not a big deal/not an issue as you claimed, then why you brought it up in the first place at all? Uh huh. See the OP? Did you see I mentioned anything like you did? Why is that? Because it has NOTHING to do with the topic at hand.

As I said, better luck next time. Keep pulling that race card because it is all you guys have/are capable of.

What will be next? Oh no, I am a green alien from Mars. Just saying. Oh, how is my Engrish? Bite me.

Because that's how conversations work. Not everyone is here to beat the drum of their personal obsession, and some of us are just here to chat.

What? Better luck at what? Race card? How the fuck am I playing that?

What will be next? Oh no, I am a green alien from Mars. Just saying. Oh, how is my Engrish? Bite me.

Chill the fuck out. Is this how you talk to people in the real world?
