Following racist backlash over Target ad, Honey Pot CEO isn't shaken by negativity: 'People can feel and say what they want' (any other race would be called racist)


Hey Target..... my hundreds and hundreds of cash a month that I USED TO SPEND at your store will be going to another store.



Following racist backlash over Target ad, Honey Pot CEO isn't shaken by negativity: 'People can feel and say what they want'


Yahoo Lifestyle
After being featured in a Target ad series, “Founders We Believe In,” the CEO of the natural feminine-hygiene brand Honey Pot Company was unexpectedly hit with criticism — for saying she hoped to create opportunity for black girls with great ideas.

“The reason why it’s so important for Honey Pot to do well, is so the next black girl that comes up with a great idea, she could have a better opportunity,” company founder Beatrice Dixon says in the ad. “That means a lot to me.”

Apparently this didn’t sit right with a number of Target’s customers, as the criticism and harassment, Dixon tells Yahoo Lifestyle, started almost immediately after the commercial’s release — “first through social media, email, and now Trustpilot reviews.”

Still, says the ever-positive entrepreneur, “The silver lining in all of this has been able to see the outpouring of love and support. Even though we’re getting negative reviews, it’s beautiful that people can feel and say what they want.”

And do that they did. On customer review site Trustpilot, Honey Pot received a storm of negative reviews over the weekend, lowering her average rating to one star. One customer review read, “I can't support a company in good faith that is openly racist about their customers.”

Meanwhile, many of the poor reviews included blatantly racist rhetoric, including, “13% of the population commits 50% of murders and 80% of all crime. They should empower black women to get black men to stop raping 10-40 thousand white women per year in the US. Your entire race is a joke. You commit 25x more crime against white people than we do against you. 90% of all interracial crimes are black-on-white. Go back to Africa and feel ‘empowered’ there. No one wants you here.”

Another review read, “Cheap and terrible product, and probably dindu nuffin,” ending with the racial slur that’s derived from “a bastardization of the phrase ‘didn't do nothing,’ a plea for innocence often used in reference to unarmed black men killed by police,” used to mock black people during numerous protests in 2014 and 2015.

Additionally, numerous reviews associated the products with the coronavirus, while some complained about the quality of the Honey Pot’s hair products ー which do not in fact exist.
Luckily, a flood of support from the Black social media community has since rallied around the black-woman owned company to counteract those reviews.

The Queen Will Be Disappointed That Meghan and Harry Aren't Bringing Archie to England for Their Final Royal Engagements (Harry and Meg are selfish)



(How DARE you keep the Queens grandchild from her. Oh unless the rumors are true and Harry isn't really Charles son.  Go google it.....)

  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reportedly aren't bringing Archie to England for their "final round of official engagements."
  • This will likely be an upset for the Queen, who hasn't had much time with her great-grandson.
If you've been keeping up with the royal fam (and if not, how dare you), you'll know that Queen Elizabeth requested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle return to England this month. She wants them to attend the annual Commonwealth Service with the rest of the royal family, and this trip to the U.K. is expected to be Harry and Meghan's "final round of official engagements before returning to their new base in Canada."
Harry arrived in England last week is and is already making appearances, but Meghan is still in Vancouver. And now, according to The Sunday Times, it's expected that Meghan won't bring baby Archie with her when she makes her way across the pond.
And it looks Archie staying behind in Canada is likely "disappointing" for the Queen, as a source previously shared that she was "very sad" that she wouldn't have more time with her great-grandson after Harry and Meghan's move. The source said, "she will be very sad to have barely seen Archie and that he will miss out on growing up with his cousins and wider family."
It was also reported that Archie has only met his royal cousins George, Charlotte, and Louis a "handful of times," so it's curious that Harry and Meghan aren't taking this opportunity to give Archie time with his family. That said, I've never had a demanding schedule of royal events and appearances before, so maybe it's just a whole lot easier for Meghan and Harry to leave Archie at home where they won't have to worry about him. Who knows!

The Queen Wants Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Departure from the Royal Family "Over and Done With"

  • Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's decision to leave the royal family has been "hurtful" to Queen Elizabeth.
  • According to a source, the Queen is at "the point where she doesn’t want to think about it anymore."
While Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are still trying to figure out their transition away from royal life, what their new brand name will be, and how they'll make money, it looks like Queen Elizabeth is very much over the situation and would rather not spend anymore time thinking or talking about Harry and Meghan's decision to leave the royal family.

According to a new report from Vanity Fair, it seems like the Queen is still upset by their leaving. A source close to her shares, "She generally doesn’t want to talk about it. The Queen has been keen to get this resolved because she sees it is damaging to the monarchy and on a personal level I think this has been rather hurtful for her. She has got to the point where she doesn’t want to think about it anymore, she just wants it over and done with."

And while it sounds like cutting Harry and Meghan off from the royal family has been hard for her, the Queen has been praised for how she's been handling it. Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith tells Vanity Fair, "by ruling against their use of the Sussex Royal brand, she drew the line on exploiting their royal connection for profit. I think in the process she has showed the sort of flexibility and adherence to standards that strengthen the monarchy."

So basically, the Queen has good reasons for not letting Harry and Meg remain titled members of the royal family, even though she's not happy about it.
