FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Walmart will remove its ice cream, commemorating Juneteenth amid growing backlash.

Photos of the product recently surfaced on social media.

"Share and celebrate African-American culture, emancipation and enduring hope," the label read.

The ice cream consisted of a swirl of red velvet and cheesecake flavors.

"Juneteenth holiday marks a celebration of freedom and independence," the company said in a statement to FOX Television Stations. "However, we received feedback that a few items caused concern for some of our customers and we sincerely apologize. We are reviewing our assortment and will remove items as appropriate."

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas, two months after the Confederacy had surrendered. It was about 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in Southern states.

Last year, President Joe Biden signed a bill creating Juneteenth National Independence Day. Since June 19 fell on a Saturday, the government observed the holiday Friday.

At least nine states have designated it in law as an official paid state holiday, all but one of those states acting after Geroge Floyd, a Black man, was killed last year in Minneapolis.

They also made one with the niggerfaggot flag.

I’m shocked everyone here hates this fake gay holiday because corpo seriously have to make it a paid day off now which is fine with me, haha.

Thanks boss for the free PTO day because done retard died from a drug overdose.

Must be nice. We barely even get “Indigenous People’s Day” (which was Columbus Day prior to 2020) off.

Did any of the profits go to a black charity? If not, I can see being against it. But if it did, it's dumb to oppose it. Sounds like both that and pride are repackaged flavors no one really likes. They should have made new original flavours for both with input from both communities. Plus not including chocolate of any kind? Fail.

It's a national holiday. Why should anyone require input regarding a product that's celebrating something that's literally the public domain? Jesus, quit coddling these people. And WTF are you suggseting a literal LGBT ice cream panel with chosen representatives? Are you actually buying into the propaganda that minority groups are borg mind collectives to the point where something like that isn't insane?

I'm so tempted to just go in to a store, take all those pints, and play Easter Egg Hunt with them.

Bet they wouldn't find the one in the Electronics department for a week.

 

[Pissmaster]

The low key funniest thing is that's nobody gives a shit about all this food waste, despite food shortages due to the Coronasession. All that matters is a bunch of literally whos apparently got offended, somewhere.

 

[Nick Gars]

So....
You call your holiday to celebrate being freed "Juneteenth", which sounds like something a toddler just getting their teeth would say... And blacks according to stereotypes have a very poor understanding of the English Language...


I don't think Wal-Mart is who you idiots should be mad at. Look in a mirror.

Wondering the same and deeply disappointed that it is not watermelon flavored.

Cheesecake is rich and white and therefore oppressive

 

[Myles the Potatophile]

This article, like many others, took time to explicitly remind us again that George Floyd™ was in fact a Black Man®

Watermelon with bits of fried chicken mixed in.

Walmart pulls Juneteenth ice cream Roy Wood Jr. called out on social media

The ice cream, consisting of red velvet and cheesecake flavors, has a label that reads, “Share and celebrate African-American culture, emancipation and enduring hope.”

Apparently it’s because black Twitter doesn’t like corporations trying to whore out their holiday like they do with pride month. And also because the weird Apple store esque label looks ugly.

You know, I can't really argue with that.

So uh...when McDonald's markets Shamrock shakes, are they donating the proceeds to Irish charities?

Do ice cream makers send the profits from spumoni flavor back to Italy?

Are limited edition Thanksgiving products giving back to the American Indians?

When Chinese New Year rolls around, are any brands with a "year of the ____" product pressured to pay up to Asian anti-hate organizations or stop producing it?

Do Day of the Dead themed cupcakes at the bakery require donations to Mexican charities or risk being cancelled by activists?


It kind of seems like only groups that get this treatment are actual diseases (you wouldn't do a pink ribbon campaign without a donation), black people, and alphabet sexualities. Even the other minorities are left out.

It's just blacks and gay/trans people, according to the way these pressure campaigns are actually applied, who should be entitled to donations whenever a corporation recognizes a holiday that centers on them with a limited-edition product. These are exactly the same cultural groups who also have a massive economic entitlement complex on social media (lots of "I deserve money for my emotional labor of tweeting to you" in both those circles). What makes it these groups specifically that have this entitlement? Lots of the alphabetters grew up in middle-class white families with good educational attainment, very different circumstances from what it's usually claimed causes the multigenerational welfare dependence issue in the black population, but they end up at the same place.

Because it wasn't cocoa butter, Swisher Sweets, and purple DRAAAAANK flavored and ass scented?

That's what I'd put on sale at my local Walmart if I ran the place. watermelon, kool-aid, fried chicken, chitlins, corn bread, collard greens, and purple cough syrup.

Don't blame me, I voted for Coonteenth.

 

[TitusOvid]

I don't get it. What's wrong with it?

Only black people can celebrate it like only they can say nigga.

 

[Uncle Joey]

I like how "Juneteenth" has a fucking trademark. Like it wasn't obvious enough how fake this holiday is.

 

[Agent Abe Caprine]

A chemical manufacturing company called Balchem Corp has the Juneteenth trademark.

which it should have stayed I'm offended by this wop erasure from American history

it's the 19th of june,the lastof the "teen" numbered days. If anything it sounds like a corporate "quIrKY" holiday from the getgo.

wtf a bunny has to do with easter

It's a fertility celebration and rabbits fuck...
The Roman Catholic church tried to assimilate holidays from other religions into their state religion. It's sort of like if we tried to move Juneteenth to February, if that makes sense to you.

God I was hoping it was watermelon flavored

You have to understand, watermelon is the Colored man's ice cream. The music from this is literally what ice cream trucks used to play.

NIGGER LOVE A WATERMELON, HA! HA! HA!​

by Harry C. Browne​

Singer: "Hold up Jackson! Time to cut a watermelon. You niggers quit throwin' them bones and come down and get your ice cream!”

Black men: “Ice Cream?"

Singer: "Yes. Ice cream! Colored man's ice cream. Watermelon!"

(Singing begins)

Well I went down to coonville the other afternoon
There I saw a yella girl her name was Susie Loon
She was sitting on a rail with the fields to her back
Eating watermelon to make the nigga fat
She says I'm Susie dear would you give your heart to me
I can keep a hundred boys busy don't you see
The juice from the watermelon trickled down her chin
I said if ya give me a hundred I will tell ya like this

Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
For here, they're made with a half a pound of co'l
There's nothing like a watermelon for a hungry coon

Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
For here, they're made with a half a pound of co'l
There's nothing like a watermelon for a hungry coon

Well the watermelon grows on a big green vine
And when the nigga sees them he takes them by the five
He knows which ones are ripe with a great big whack
They go BUM BUM when you hit them on the back
The best way to get them is to steal them if you can
If you don't want to steal them you get a colored man
Take him to your house and you give him to your wife
Then you mark him on the back with the nick of a knife

Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
For here, they're made with a half a pound of co'l
There's nothing like a watermelon for a hungry coon

Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
For here, they're made with a half a pound of co'l
There's nothing like a watermelon for a hungry coon

Well the nigga loves a possum and the nigga loves gin
The nigga loves a yella girl the nigga loves sin
The nigga loves to dance when it hears the banjo ring
But it goes for the watermelon very first thing
The coon was made for the melon that grows
The watermelon was made for the colored man too
Put them on on the alter and you all will agree
The nigga was made for the watermelon and melon for he

Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
Nigga love a watermelon ha, ha, ha, ha!
Hit the banjo and we will have another tune
There's nothing like a watermelon for a hungry coon

The only Nigger Pride Day product I consume is a DVD of Roots: Remastered

You don't watch "Birth of a Nation"? You shame the memory of Nathan Bedford Forrest.

 

[Butcher Pete]

You don't watch "Birth of a Nation"? You shame the memory of Nathan Bedford Forrest.

Roots: Remastered plays entirely in reverse of the original. The freed niggers are slapped back into chains, forced to work the fields to pay their debt to White humans, then shipped back to the auction block, get their nigger name returned and are put on a boat to row home.

Some niggers are so happy to be going home that they come back to life and jump out of the ocean into the welcoming arms of jewish slavers!
