Nivea Pulls ‘White Is Purity’ Ad After Backlash

[Svnla]

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?



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

You need to read your own post (#40) again. Also, how my English/grammar (good or bad) has anything to do with the topic at hand in this thread? Uh huh. No big deal right but somehow you magically brought it up just because? Keep digging.

No, it is you that need to chill the fuck out. Keep pulling, harder. Spin baby spin.

 

[agent00f]

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.

Seem pretty obvious the connection between "brown person/uncivilized" and "blacks/chimps", even if degenerates will never stop pretending to be too dumb to get it.

What about post #40?

Also, how my English/grammar (good or bad) has anything to do with the topic at hand in this thread? Uh huh. No big deal right but somehow you magically brought it up. Keep digging.

Magically? I mentioned something in passing which has obviously "triggered" you. (I didn't think that that was a thing!)
I'm not digging at all. I made a passing comment, the comment doesn't need any elaboration or explanation. Digging not found.

No, it is you that need to chill the fuck out. Keep pulling, harder. Spin baby spin.

I'm fairly chill about this. Slightly confused about you going on and arguing about something that doesn't matter while not making a point but it's entertaining in a weird way.

I have no idea what you mean by the "Keep pulling, harder. Spin baby spin." bit. There's no spin, it was a simple statement.

If you think to bring up things (my race/background and my English) that are NOT relevance to the topic at hand = ok/just chatting (as you are trying so hard to backtrack). We have nothing to discuss further. Keep digging and pulling and spinning and making excuses. That's all you guys are capable of.

Lol. I wasn't trying to have a discussion with you in the first place, I replied to someone else. This is a board with members from all over the world and with wildly different backgrounds, it's natural to be curious about other members. It's up to you if you want to talk about yourself or not, no one's pressuring you.

Keep digging and pulling and spinning and making excuses. That's all you guys are capable of.

Wut? Excuses for what? I haven't done anything wrong. "You guys"? Which guys?

Wanna play dumb? I will play.

What you said in post #40, was it anyway related to the topic of this thread? Yes or No? Simple answer.

Pretty much everything in life seems to be some kind of trigger for you. Damn shame. It's a lousy way to live your life.

Care to give a yes or no answer or you are going to wimp out like a bitch? Oh since when you guys become so concern about my life/welfare? LOL.

Is there a point to this question?

Do many of your posts in this thread have anything to do with the topic of the thread?

When you're sitting at a table of your friends in the bar chatting over a couple of beers are you the one constantly shouting "That's not what we were talking about! Stick to the subject I was talking about!"

Do you have a problem with not responding to comments? Honestly if you don't like the way a conversation is going it's probably best not to carry on pushing it down the path you don't want it to go down!

Just what I thought, no simple yes or no answer. Another wimp out but more pathetic ranting and rambling.

Keep trolling, troll.

Next!!!

You really are a hysterical ball of insecurity aren't you?

The only person ranting here is you. This is all over one post I made earlier that wasn't addressed to you that you can't let go of. You're ranting so much that you've forgotten that this entire train crash is because you can't let something go.

You can ask as many pointless questions as you like but unless you can give me a reason why I should answer them you're not going to get an answer. You aren't important enough or clever enough to get anyone else to jump through any hoops for you.

You quoted another guy accusation about me (without any evidence) and then whined and bitched about me in public and I should let you get away with it? I don't do bend over and take it like you. Ever.

I don't have to give you any reason. Everyone with a brain would know that what you said was trolling because what you said in post 40 had absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread. That's why you could not give a straight answer but instead of man up and admit that you were trolling, you went on and on with your pathetic rant to save face. What a pathetic little wimp out troll.

I am sure you will reply with more pathetic ranting to save face. How are my Engrish and grermmar? What are my race and background now? What is the color of the sky? Keep on trolling and wimping out, troll.

BTW, this is what I look like:

ROTFLMAO.

The main worth of these threads is to illustrate how tight the racial epithet fan club stick together; quite fortunate svnla & co are the perfect tools for this.

 

[MetalMat]

It's just SJWs at work, they won't be happy until the word "white" is considered inappropriate regardless of the context and you get hard time in prison for even mentioning it.

Just a heads up this problem only exists on account of your klan pals, but degenerates aren't exactly ever going to take any responsibility for anything, much less their own.

 

[Sonikku]

As a Lib, I'm going to go out on the limb here and say that while it was probably a poor choice of words, it seems more like a case of overlooked terminology than a case of wanting to advance a racial message of white superiority. Seems pretty open and shut in my opinion and feeling offended by this is beneath me.

Agreed. Almost anyone I've spoken to or seen who has called out this or the Pepsi ad are more amused at the stupidity of it rather than outraged and thinking it's intentional. It's been called tone deaf, not racist. The only people characterizing those speaking out as triggered or outraged are the right wing outlets.

Yes, I'm sure there are a few who are overreacting. But most are just amused.

Each year, what's considered "racist" by some of the dumbest people this planet has ever shit out, gets lamer and lamer.

The Pepsi commercial is lame and vapid... but... the fuck? There's nothing about it to even work up a fucking second glance over. It's do devoid of anything that's even the slightest bit 'controversial' that you have to wonder just how the fuck bored are people?

The nivia ad is simply a case of people should know better. A lot of other people are DUMB AS A BOX OF ROCKS. They aren't going to get whatever *actual* INTENT or meaning that your ad is trying to convey. Their one functional brain cell is going to 'emote' and assign meaning in the worst possible way, they're going to gnash teeth and wring hands over how other stupid people may take the meaning, and they're going to yell racism. The ad agency and the company just should have KNOWN this, and done something else- not that what they did was actually *racist* in the classic sense when that term actually meant an ACTUAL INTENT to be racist. just that "because stupid people will be stupid, don't run ads that can be interpreted in stupid ways by said stupid people."

That's pretty much a huge percentage of racism in the modern age. Taking something that was never intended to be racist, as racist, then threatning to hold your breath until said 'racist' thing is removed, or the person who never meant anything racist is made to apologize, or lose their job or what-have-you. Supposedly such cowardly reactions somehow 'strengthen' race relations and make minorities feel more included or something. Because stupid people stump for them, and encourage blatant displace of cowardice and stupidity on their behalf.

And to think. Back in the day *ACTUAL RACISM* was someone actually INTENDING a racist message or action.

At least we've progressed this far that so much now has to be manufactured.

Worth noting Nivea isn't accused of racism here, just ignorantly saying what racists think, which for a national ad campaign is almost as bad as degenerates ignorantly posing Nivea as one of their own to protect.

^ by the way it's an insult to a box of rocks to compare it to the above posterchild of the kind of DUMB I was reffering to.

http://money.cnn.com/2017/04/05/news/companies/nivea-white-is-purity-racist-ad/

Nivea has withdrawn an ad that was branded racist on social media and shared by right wing groups.

The German skincare maker's ad for a deodorant included a picture of a woman and the slogan "white is purity."

It was posted on Nivea's Middle East Facebook page with the caption: "Keep it clean, keep it bright. Don't let anything ruin it."

The post sparked a backlash, with social media users accusing Nivea of being racist and insensitive.

"Come on Nivea. This is so racist that I do not even know where to begin. Speechless. In future, refer to clothes or products, not colors," Scott Bellows posted on Twitter.

But then again the real irony is not only is agent dumber than a box of rocks, he's also EASILY the MOST RACIST (for real, not made up) person that spews shit on this forum. Dumb, racist, and as usual, wrong.


Also kind of funny this stupid thing wasn't even a usual 'ad' per se, but a post on Facebook in the Middle East. I mean- what the fuck even is that? Who the F cares?

Stupid people end up taking something that wouldn't for a second be noticed by anyone and making it into something WAY out of proportion. Maybe it was actually calculated because companies must realize they can use said dumb people to blow things up and get their message out. Why the fuck cared nivea had some deodorant line coming out? But... now way more people know that than otherwise would have and it cost the company not much more than jack squat. A Facebook post.

No great surprise you couldn't read a few more lines to the salient part:

"The advert was also shared by accounts that have previously posted content promoting white supremacist views."

Generally a good way to discern between actual racism and accidental so is the latter acknowledge the mistake, vs doubling down as degenerates are wont to do.

These ads are another reason for why corporate leadership needs diversity.
