Shit can easily backfire and it creates and easy out for the marketing team. None of this shit is tolerable (not that you're claiming it is).

Bruh I stay in the loop so I reject your statement. Also if you reread what I typed I said I am glad they do what they do. Did you miss that? Here let me re-quote myself and highlight it for you.

Call it what you may and whatever you want. I know how Jesse and Al historically dealt with insults from corporations black people consume the products of and that is what they do. Are you saying they ignore stuff like this, because I never seen it happen. Fact people of all races consume heineken beers and that includes all races. Honestly I would not expect them to ignore this. Heineken fucked up and we have champions that will take them to task.

How did you miss the red bolded? It implicitly says what their strategy is in dealing with disrespect but I'm the jerk? Get the entire fuk outta here man. So maybe it's YO azz that needs to comprehend better before jumping in with YO fake azz outrage.

The ironic thing about this story is that I have heard stories about predominately white establishments not serving Heineken because it is considered a black persons drink.

If didn't know better, I would say the ad is playing off of that showing that white people drink it too.

This reminds me of brands like Guess, Girbuad, and Tommy Hillfiger back in the day not wanting their clothes to be associated with black people and urban rap culture. Different day, different product, and still the same ol' shit:smh:. However the good that can come out of this is if we support black owned breweries. We must stop being emotional over people who are insensitive to our community while taking our dollars. Companies that show us no respect don't deserve our support. White supremacists don't respond to black emotionalism, they respond to us being transactional. They don't have to like us but they must be made to respect us.

This why i said never trust these companies. When it's not cool to fuck with black people they Will drop ya like hot potato

Exactly, we must learn to capitalize off our own culture just like everyone else does their own. Stop giving it away to others.

Examples: When the Irish celebrate St. Patrick's day they manufacture the products they will use for their holiday. This in turn is a cultural industry that benefits their community. Chinese do the same for their new year. Jews do the same for their holy days, etc.

Those type of coons are the worst.
I can understand having those that sell out the admiration of blacks have to give an account like Mandela. But we should not attack those that try. Al was a black man that was concerned and made moves in directions of change. That is all that can be proven about him. I never really saw him try to undermine blacks. Either we separate or we try to become successful devils. That is the only choice we have until somebody over comes this white reality we are forced to live by.
All we know is what is allowed out of the minds of white males. We live by lies even when we know they are lies. And if you lie long enough and often enough it becomes reality. That is why you never see blacks in positions that affect programming. Politics, education, law, religion, etc. has to be controlling you just to survive. You have to almost take on the mind of whites in order to just survive.

You're lost but that doesn't mean you can't ever come back "home." Learn about yourself and your people -- both in America and ancient Africa. You'll find that there's a lot to be proud of and love. Hopefully you'll learn to love your blackness, brother.

I love my blackness...im not confused about word and out meaning. When it comes to law being a black man or african american means nothing because again they see and treat you as civily dead cause you are in to them in law.

I am home..America is home...the capitol is the great pyramid with the eye attached not separated. So trust me i really understand what and who I am. I am a supreme being born on the square by a moabite woman.

Trust I really understand who and what I am

I figured that it was about the original post so you should have quoted that and not my second post in the thread:hithead:. I can even understand how the original comment comes off in a bad way. It still does not discount the fact that concessions are what is necessary from an entity who takes black dollars while being racially insensitive. Al and Jesse have a track record of taking entities to task in this manner. I agree with their tactics, make them hire more of us in executive positions.

With that said Since we are using "brothers" too many "brothers" invoke the coon label. Stop being sensitive and learn to be result oriented. Al and Jesse themselves will tell us to do the same. Emotions due to hurt feelings does not make people accountable for wrongs they do. They play the emotion game with us all the damn time and I am sick of it. Fuck being insulted and in our feelings, turn that into action and let's get that bag. Remember that and then maybe we could start turning this thing around for our benefit.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong point. :smh:

Instead of writing two graphs that display your lack of understanding, point to any reply in this thread where I accused anyone of being a "coon." :cmonson:

People use different words to express a point all the time. It's called coded language. Maybe your awareness of semantics isn't your strong point:dunno:. Anyways you made your point and it was taken. Time to move on.
