THE COURAGE TO SAY NO

I wrote here about South Dakota’s Governor Kristi Noem, who is approaching heroic status. She stood alone against the tide of governors issuing stay-home fiats amid the coronavirus panic, taking the principled position that Americans are free people, not subject to arbitrary orders from their governors.
 
What a refreshing idea!

L'Oreal to remove the word 'whitening' from its products

The decision comes as beauty brands receive backlash for their skin-lightening products amidst ongoing protests for racial equality.

By Vandana Rambaran | Fox News

 

Industry-leading French cosmetics company L'Oreal announced they will be removing words like "whitening" and "lightening" from their products after a number of beauty brands received backlash for their skin-lightening products amidst ongoing protests for racial equality.

 

"The L'Oreal Group has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products," the company said in a statement.

 

The move signals a shift by beauty giants to stand up against racial stereotypes. L'Oreal's skin brightening creams are amongst the most popular on the market and are targeted towards Asian, African and Caribbean buyers who face a cultural stigma where lighter skin is perceived as more desirable.

 

L'Oreal's promise for change comes a day after consumer products leader Unilever announced they'd be changing the name of their "Fair & Lovely" cream that is popular in Asia for skin lightening

 

The product reportedly generated $500 million in revenue in India last year, according to Yahoo News, but the brand says they are working to acknowledge how their terminology and branding perpetuates racist stereotypes.

California Democrats pass resolution calling for John Wayne Airport to be renamed

The resolution calls for the reversal of the 1979 decision to rename it after Duke.

By Adam Shaw | Fox News

 

California Democrats in Orange County are demanding that the county’s John Wayne Airport be renamed and all likenesses of Wayne be removed from the airport, over “racist and bigoted statements” made by the American icon decades ago.

 

“The Democratic Party of Orange County condemns John Wayne’s racist and bigoted statements, and calls for John Waynes’ name and likeness to be removed from the Orange County airport, and calls on the OC Board of Supervisors to restore its original name: Orange County Airport,” the resolution, passed Friday, says.

The resolution, first reported by the Los Angeles Times, calls on the Orange County Board of Supervisors to reverse the 1979 decision to rename it after Duke, and cites remarks he made in a 1971 interview with Playboy.

“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” he said in that interview nearly 50 years ago.

If you must tweet, never use the word "white" in a tweet.

So, I am guessing that women can't get facials anymore because it is insulting to green people everywhere.

 

The porn industry will never survive.  Wait ... what?  Oh, you meant THOSE facials.  :doh:

 

Nevermind.

 

:oops:
