The Skittles candy company’s colorless campaign, meant to celebrate LGBTQ Pride Month, is being bashed and called a “poorly veiled white supremacist” stunt by social media users.
Skittles ditched it’s iconic colorful rainbow bags and released an ad that said: “During Pride, only one rainbow matters. So, we’ve given up ours to show our support.”
A portion of the profits from each bag of fruit-flavored candy (purchased exclusively at Tesco grocery stores) will go to LGBT charities, the company said.
But the ad campaign was slammed on social media, with several offended users equating the company’s use of an all-white bag and candies to white supremacy.

[[Maybe it would be easier if we made a list of things that don’t trigger snowflakes. This is ridiculous.]]
That list is getting harder to make every day.
They just need a white padded room and a straight jacket for their safe space.
“Who would eat black Skittles?”
The FREAKS that buy the all-black licorice bags of Jelly Beans? ;)
I have eaten my share of Skittles in my day. However, I have YET to see a ‘white’ Skittle.
I demand reparations! *SMIRK*
Funny, I’ve still never even tasted Skittles. They seem to have become such a major cultural statement, I suppose I will have to try a bag just to find out what this is all about.
Disgusting. All kinds of normal words and phrases (pride, ‘lives matter’, etc.) are being hijacked for ‘victim-group’ agendas.
That e-card is awesome. And racist. And now I need a Safe Space!
*SMIRK*
I like the all-sour Skittles, but I am more a ‘gourmet’ jelly bean or Twizzlers Girl.
And I’m CERTAIN the LefTards will ruin those simple pleasures for me one day, too.
A POX on them!
We all need safe spaces!!
I don’t know how there will ever be enough safe spaces to go around!!
I see Braraq’s kid has been in the wacky tabaky again.
The only ones that I toss in the trash on Easter morning.
Don’t feed the trolls.
Go to white packaging as a nod to queers, and get called racist. They lost a bunch of fans for being queer pleasers. Ha ha gen x MBA business ‘leaders’ — stupid is as stupid does. Choke on your rainbow.
Snowflakes gonna flake.
Only to people that don't really matter in the long run and truly have NO effect on how you live your everyday life. :)
“all of the black jelly beans seem to be glued to the bottom of the bag”

We’re adding a Root Cellar in the near future. I’m going to ask Beau if we can put in a Panic Room as well. Best to be safe.
*Rolleyes*
I thank G-d EVERY DAY that I am not living/thinking like some of the brainwashed idiots in the Socialist Democrat Party. If they had ANY self-awareness, they’d kill themselves. Immediately. ;)
In terms of the big picture snow is small potatoes. If you look out into space it’s mostly black.
