There is a simple solution to the problem.  Dove should stop featuring women of any color other than white in their ads.  No one can get offended because they took their shirt off in the wrong order or stood on the wrong side of the room.  No one can get offended because a soap company is trying to tell black people to get clean by using their product.  Shocked

Let them cry about being excluded and how Dove is racist because they only have white women in their ads.  Cry

So, the controversial part has to do with the black woman "becoming" a white woman?  What about when the white woman becomes Hispanic or Indian or whatever the hell that third woman is?

The very name "DOVE" is racist.

Why?

Because when most people think of Doves, they think of WHITE doves...



Look for DOVE Soap to soon become...



Blackbird Soap.

This kind of silliness is what creates new racism.
However, this is the second time around for Dove - the first was 6 years ago (screenshot of original below) with an equally 'offensive' advertisement. You'd thought they would have learned the first time...but some people, including youtube commentators, aren't helping matters any.
I wouldn't be surprised if some people ended up believing white women are the only women who use soap, but I don't want to say that too loud as 'The New Ignorance' is perpetuating itself vastly and rapidly in today's 'Trumpciety', from all sides.

There's power in being offended.

So many people are just looking for an excuse to be offended, I don't see what's wrong with this ad at all!

I wouldn't have even noticed anything if the Usual Suspects hadn't started their typical bleating.

I'd say the whole PC-overdosed/Oppression Olympics thing is reaching new levels of silliness...but we already knew that.

Confused
All hell is breaking loose about the following Facebook advertisement put up by Dove.
 
What a bunch of over-sensitive weenies.
 
*I* see no issue here, but rather a celebration and a product that is good for anyone.
 
Other views, please?
