Uncle Bens Oh Dear ..

[alavahalf]

Had you asked me what the logo consisted of on Uncle Bens Products .. all I could have said was .. "It is Orange". Prior to reading this I had no idea what else was on the logo.
What will they change the logo to .. a white farmer or even a couple of mixed race farmers ?
This is getting totaly out of hand now .. where will it all end ?
Next thing will be removing the black jelly babies from the box .. my favourites !

I had one of those to as a kid, zebo. In fact most of the kids of my age did to ( even if it was only the odd penny that went in now and again ).

Sorry about my previous post. I don't know where all the blank space came from.

Yep it was called training. Conditioning if you like, of small children to be aware and accepting of the concept that they must feed a black person for evvaaaa. (^_*)

If anyone is going to boycott Uncle Bens Rice, it will have no effect at all on the manufacturing company, which is one of the largest privately owned companys in the world. In fact, I think it's in the top 5 of the richest companys, Walmart being the wealthiest, last time I looked. But the company we are talking about here is Mars Confectionery, who produce and market their Uncle Bens' Products as Masterfoods. I know. I used to be a Martian!

My aunty had one of those black man money boxes. My sister and I would play with it without thinking anything of it.
It just feels wrong now.

Lammy is an ignorant oaf. As a Londoner born and bred I know that the Black Country was renowned for the chain making industry. The anchor chains were made in a Birmingham foundry for the Titanic.
If the idiot could find the Black Country Museum he would see a live demonstration of chain making skills.
