Why's DD in trouble? Sharpton thinking chocolate donuts are racist?

That is basically it. Sharpton has his panties in a wad over a
chocolate doughnut ad that only ran in Thailand.
I doubt anyone there thought it was racist,



There are many reasons and a long history for blacks in this country to
find the use of blackface repugnant anywhere it is found, and especially
when a corporation with deep American roots is using it.

Is whiteface just a repugnant? If not why isn't racism a two way street?

There are some black people here who spend their life trying to find a
reason to be offended.
If they want to be offended, look at their own stereotypes as
presented in Hip Hop music.



You're hardly in a position to speak for people of color. It well-known

Yes, we all know that you think it's bad that someone is held
accountable when they sling around the N word, racist.
