Burt’s Bees apologizes after ‘family’ Christmas photo shows Black woman without a husband

Just keepin' it real is all. How many bucks actually stick around, anyway?

The beauty products and apparel brand says they had no intention of sending a stereotypical message in an ad for holiday pajamas

Apparently, the Maine-based company that is a Clorox subsidiary also makes apparel, including cutesy sets of holiday pajamas suitable for the family holiday Instagram shots. But that’s where they got into some trouble recently. Burt’s Bees decided to post an ad that showcased real-life families in their holiday gear to promote said baby products and PJ’s.

In the four-panel ad, there are three white photogenic families with children – all nuclear families with mom and dad as their usual ad campaigns feature. The issue came with the portrayal of the Black family which showed just a Black mother and her children.

Posted initially by Baller Alert, with a caption that said “Why?,” the ad generated controversy from observers who say the ad perpetuates stereotypes about Black fathers. While some might argue that that’s a topic hotly debated within the Black community, the issue is that Burt’s Bees intended to showcase the white families as an ideal that the Black family didn’t ‘match’ to pardon the pun.

I see the niglets are getting ready for the standard issue stripey jail outfits they'll be wearing in a few years !

Fuck apology culture. They'll never get a sorry out of me !

[IseDaDiva]

Such BS. Everyone knows bucks abandon their niglets, if they don't kill them. Stereotypes come from reality, just like niggerbabble stereotypes. There's one right on that page of niggerwhine: "They be doing this shit on purpose." That is not human English

I thought the same thing.

[Coon Club Road]

I thought the same thing.

As was I . Indeed, the truth is clearly depicted in the ad!

A+ to Burt for creating the ad... C- for Burt for worrying about what the niggers think.

Would have been extra funny if only the nigger fambly was sporting the prison uniforms!
