How can something like this still be on the market in the year 2020? Look at the logo for Little Debbie Snack Cakes. It includes a little girl that is clearly of European-American ancestry. Is McKee Foods telling us that their snack cakes are intended for white people only? We all know that Native Americans, African Americans, and Asian Americans enjoy snack cakes as well. Why should they be excluded? This is obviously racist and should be eliminated immediately. ---

That sounds very non-inclusive! What is wrong with those people? ---

As a reporter, I once covered a homicide case in which the victim was fatally stabbed in an argument over a Little Debbie snack cake. “Little Debbie - the treat worth killing for”. ---

Is it your belief that the reason people are offended by the Aunt Jemima logo is because she’s black? ---

I’m all for Mickey D’s to unload the creepy clown. The king headed guy bugs me as well (BK) Oh, that damnable Gecko is just offensive on so many levels. (He needs pants on) ---

That had got to be one of the most tedious OPs that I have even had the misfortune to read. That point is incredibly poorly made and, obviously, misses the point entirely. ---

Moderating: I’m not sure if this is supposed to be parody, sarcasm or a light Pitting but it doesn’t belong here. I’m going to do you a favor and close it rather than move it to the Pit. ---
