Found another press conference. It seems they can't make up their minds whether it "clearly" says "whores" or "hoes".

Well excuse me, a black doll with a cap saying lil monkey in a box with a monkey and monkey paraphernalia like a banana? "diaper fits both baby and monkey? Fucj yea THAT is inexcusably racist, whether intentional or not and that should be pulled off the shelves.
This Hallmark card however is not at all racist in any way. I'm very sensitive in regard to racial symbolism and implied content and there is none there, whereas the doll/monkey box deal is utter racial

The cry of racism is the last sputtering cry of a weak mind.
I suppose when people call their little ones "munchkins" they are making fun of dwarves/midgets as well.

A nonsense anti-PC slogan. When something is racist, and you say it is, its calling a spade a spade.
Go visit stormfront and do some research whether actual self-proclaimed racists associate black people with monkeys, jungles and bananas.

So the rest of us who don't, get lumped in with those who do? Do you think blacks are the only group that has had to hear stuff like that from a few brain dead assholes? Ever hear the phrase..... the few ruin it for the many? How about associative guilt?
How about growing a spine and realizing that they are just words? How about caring about something that actually matters?

Those are not words, those are dolls for kids 3 years and up, implanting associations in developing minds at a very early age. It trains kids to make a common racist association between monkeys and black people. That doll box deal gives real racism something to latch onto at a later age.

You don't get to decide what is important, we all do, so don't try to silence my freedom of speech with statements like "weak mind" and "grow a spine" appealing to my desire to "fit in". I see what you're doing and reject it.

I weep for you.
By making a big deal over nothing, you're helping to sentence another generation of people into being whining sniveling little shits.
"I see what you're doing and reject it." Thanks for the laugh. Now grow a pair. Be comfortable with who and what you are. Save your righteous indignation for those people and things who are truly racist.

why would hallmark say "black whores" on that goofy ass card.
that doesn't make sense. I thought at the least it would be a raunchy card or something but its like two characters you would see on cartoon network at 9 in the morning. those retards obviously just heard it wrong.

why is hallmark even responding this?
I would just go...uh, no, you misheard it we're not changing it because you're hard of hearing.
i suppose the practical answer is its a better PR decision to just recall the card but in a matter of principle I would hold a press conference to tell these people to go fuck themselves for falling victim to cognitive bias and then causing a ruckus about it.

that's why you don't own a multi-million(billion?)dollar company! but most likely yah, not worth the trouble to fight it to them. they would lose more customers then they would gain by it either way.
