Racist Hostess cup cake packaging.

[Heeeeers Johnny]

[img][/img]

At first glance, it appears to be an enticement to purchase and enjoy some delicious
Hostess Golden Cup Cakes, but then off to the right, is a not so subtle racist caricature of
a lighter complexioned cup cake wearing black face.

The enlarged, white bug eyes and overly exaggerated smile and lips only makes
the connection even more apparent.

1. Ok stop. You win the internets

[valerief]

2. Welcome to my Forever Ignored club. There's enough real racism without making shit up. nt

[WillowTree]

4. I'm thinking it was meant to be a parody of another thread posted earlier.

At least I sincerely hope so.

[valerief]

6. Ha, okay, I missed it. I actually have a sense of humor, but these days...

well, people are just so crazy, it's hard to tell sarcasm from stupidity.

[LiberalElite]

20. you mean the DQ one? nt

[WillowTree]

21. That very one.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. Seriously?

[The Straight Story]

5. And look at these:

Ho hos made by bimbos

[angstlessk]

7. Is that sexist (bimbos) or rasict (the guy in the belt) or nativist (he's wearing feathers)

It's hard to tell these days..it is so rampant (and I ain't gonna define 'it')

[Heeeeers Johnny]

8. I'm more concerned about the cultural appropriation of the Native American headdress.

[Major Nikon]

37. ...

[Mendocino]

42. I see a Robin Hood,

of course they dressed him in stereotypical green tights.

[kentauros]

58. He's a pastry in tights.

Too bad Mel Brooks didn't know about it when this was written:

[Mendocino]

64. Fix your boobs Blinken, you look like a bloody Picasso.

[kentauros]

65. And I know that exact scene!

[Mendocino]

74. "I CAN SEE"

thud..."No..I was wrong".

[dixiegrrrrl]

48. You want racist????? See this

Alabama school’s math test included questions about drive-bys, cocaine, and ‘knocking up’ girls

MOBILE, Ala. — A teacher from Burns Middle School in Mobile has come under fire for giving a test with “questionable language” to her math students. The ten question word problem quiz contained scenarios that parents are calling “unacceptable” and “not at all appropriate for the classroom.”
Each of the questions centered on a situation related to street violence or drug crimes. One even included “pimps and ho’s” and “knocking up girls”.

“How many drive-by shootings can Ramon attempt before he has to steal enough ammunition and reload?” one question asked.

The third question asks, “Dwayne pimps three ho’s. If the price is $85 per trick, how many tricks per day must each ho turn to support Dwayne’s $800 per day crack habbit?”

This quiz is not a unique phenomenon to Burns Middle. Variations of the same quiz have been floating around on the internet for about a decade. Similar quizzes have caused uproar in in Texas, California, New Mexico, and now Alabama.

While the school has not released the teacher’s name, WSFA reported that she has been placed on immediate administrative leave pending an internal investigation. According to one parent, the quiz was given by a teacher who has been at Burns for quite some time. She is reportedly retiring at the end of this year.

56. Looks like a "Robin Hood" thing

[The Straight Story]

13. Well, there are two white humans in the pic, and a white bear who cooked the black ho ho

for the white people pictured to eat.

It gives me nightmares.

If you look at his pose he is bending down, showing he is subservient. The smile they forced on him makes it look like he is happy to serve. He is also carrying 2 bags with X's on them, indicating he has some alcohol on him.

He has a red feather in his cap, probably a gang symbol.

I say we launch a boycott.

[Heeeeers Johnny]

23. What makes you think Ho Ho is a him/he?

See, that's your gender identity assumptions and patriarchy brainwashing showing.

Ho Ho could be easily be a creamy filled chocolate cake roll in transition, or a flat chested female for all we/you know

[angstlessk]

24. I love this thread...laughs are so far apart!

[cwydro]

25. Check out the DQ thread.

DU never disappoints!

[angstlessk]

47. WOW...cause they used black folk

Complain cause ain't enough black folk in ads, then complain about the ads black folk are in...

I recon only black folk being portrayed as angles will do?...how many ads do angles appear?

P.S. I am a white folk married to a black folk..just for background

[Major Nikon]

38. Good point

[jpmonk91]

62. Lol

This is hilarious

[Renew Deal]

73. Bimbo is the name of the company. They are a Mexican baker

[BigDemVoter]

76. Not to mention the "Ho Ho's!"

[scscholar]

44. That has to be a Photoshop

No corporation would be so stupid to do that.

[jpmonk91]

60. Lol

[demmiblue]

9. Even if you are making fun of another thread, this is so unnecessary.

And offensive.

[Nye Bevan]

10. Blackface is never appropriate, even for an anthropomorphic cupcake.

I'm going to call Congress first fucking thing tomorrow.

[rug]

11. I don't want to know what you think of their Sno-Balls.

[The Straight Story]

14. They are trying to say code pink has balls, which is a sexist statment

See, DU has been educational to me over the years.

[GulfCoast66]

18. At least they are not

Salty Chocolate Balls!

[NV Whino]

19. Do the have blue ones?

[Major Nikon]

28. You had to ask

[NV Whino]

36. You have yet to disappoint with your superior research skills.

[Dr. Strange]

50. Whoa! Bernie or Bust cakes?

I did not know those existed!

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

72. Who eats this shit?

A marshmallow covered in blue sprinkles?

[Major Nikon]

27. How about Glo Balls?

[jberryhill]

33. Wait, do they actually glow?

Does anyone make glow in the dark food? That'd be cool.

[Major Nikon]

35. It's more of a DIY project

http://www.amazon.com/Neon-Glow-Blacklight-Reactive-Fluorescent/dp/B00WL2US3Y

[longship]

78. No, but after eating one YOU GLOW IN THE DARK!!!

It's just emergent behavior... GMOs, Fukushima, space aliens, and psychic Big Foot.

I love Hostess Sno-Balls, and Banana-flavored Twinkies (the original). Yummy cake. When I eat one -- usually with early morning coffee -- I am rarely thinking about GMOs, Fukushima, space aliens, or psychic Big Foot. However 9/11 conspiracies... YES! But only until I swallow the last bite, thankfully.

[Scootaloo]

12. ...Okie dokie

[meow2u3]

15. That's Clarence Thomas on the cupcake package

[Rex]

16. You win, DQ is a den of inequity and obviously Hostess is owned by the devil.

[angstlessk]

29. Is that 'Grumpy Cat' mocking the small hands of grumpy trump?

[Rex]

41. Yes indeed...with Grumpy Cats paws extended they are about 2 inches bigger then Small Hand Don.

[Boudica the Lyoness]

17. Apparent maybe to you!

Bug eyes? Big mouth and lips? Is that all black folk are to you?

Get off it. It's a fucking cupcake/chocolate frosting with a cartoon face so the kiddies gobble them up. You should be more concerned that parents actually feed that chemical/sugar rubbish to their children.

[Lizzie Poppet]

22. And those "minstrel" gloves!

[Major Nikon]

26. Fritos

[Ilsa]

43. I remember the Bandito! NT

[bravenak]

30. This is hilarious and I want some snack cakes

[Iggo]

31. Okay, that's enough.

[jberryhill]

32. You're the guy who keeps seeing vaginas in the ink blots, aren't you

[Heeeeers Johnny]

39. Ink blots?

Sometimes.

It's mostly in clouds, flowers and subliminal advertising that I see them

[RKP5637]

34. Nope, I don't think so. n/t

[Sunlei]

40. I think america has regressed to the old days when half the population had lead poisoning

test your drinking water.

[pintobean]

45. Not to mention King Ding Dong

[Kilgore]

46. I am shocked I tell you, Shocked!!!!!

Writing my congress critter first thing tomorrow! !!!

[Oneironaut]

49. Moon Pies are incorrect in every way. The moon is not made of chocolate,

nor does it have a creamy center.

[romanic]

51. lmao

this thread gave me a good laugh I needed after today. Thanks.

[Ilsa]

52. Sexist Bimbo !!!

Bakeries, that is.

[RobinA]

67. I Live Near

a Bimbo factory that used to be the bakery of a local bread brand apparently no longer in existence. When "Bimbo" first appeared on the signed I almost drove off the road. Really? Then I figured they were a foreign operation not familiar with American idiom. Still can't quite believe it.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

75. "Bimbo" is an Italian word for "child" or "baby."

Some years ago, for some strange reason, it became a slang word for the stereotypical dumb blonde. I'm guessing the bread factory used the word in its original meaning.

[Reter]

53. How about these guys?

A fat old black guy, a heroic lilly white knight cowboy, a doofy Native American, and a European Vampire. Oh the racism!

[jpmonk91]

61. Hahahahaha!

[brooklynite]

54. I stopped reading at "delicious"...

[jpmonk91]

55. Thanks to this post

I think I now know why bill maher hates dems

[jpmonk91]

59. Oh it's a joke

Wow it took me alittle while but it's hard to tell now when people are being serious. Lol some people might actually find it racist. The forums have gotten crazy lately.

[hatrack]

57. Pardon me while I roll over and go to sleep . . . .

Nighty-night!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

63. I'm triggered

You expect me to eat a smiling happy cupcake? His only crime was being born delicious!

[Liberal_in_LA]

66. lol

[jpak]

68. Here's a real racist

yup

[snooper2]

69. This must be a parody post, or since the primaries are drawing to a close

people are trying to have their last "fun" near the end?

[Javaman]

70. thank you for this thread...

DU used to have more like these in the past.

you have made my day.

[NaturalHigh]

71. LOL...

[Invincibility]

77. ahahaha

Well done op. I needed a little humor in my day.
