Bath & Body Works Apologizes, Removes Candle With KKK Christmas Design

Is Bed Bath & Body Works about to get cancelled?
quote:
Bath & Body Works is scrambling to remove a holiday candle off its shelves ... after the packaging was compared to hoods worn by the Ku Klux Klan.
The candle went viral Tuesday when an X user posted a screenshot of the product, which showed the "Snowed In" scent featuring a snowflake design set against a red backdrop.
However, it didn't take long for users to compare the print to the infamous KKK hoods, as they too are all white, with pointed tops and tiny holes cut into them.
quote:
Critics quickly called for the candle to be canceled ... and for those behind the controversial product to be fired.
The company is now seeing the big picture, offering up a mea culpa for the inadvertently offensive home decor.
quote:
This marketing hiccup comes 2 years after the brand was criticized for its Black History Month offering ... when they advertised everyday products as "limited edition" goods after slapping new packaging on top of them.

Racism is everywhere if you look hard enough.

I can smell the cocoa butter through my phone in that last pic.

When everything is racist nothing is. It’s a slippery slope and they will not like the outcome.

I guarantee 100% of them have never actually seen a KKK member in person, in costume.
I've said it before and will say it a gain, the KKK must have the best marketing team in the world. They have somehow convinced a nation of 330 million that they are FAR more relevant than they actually are. Anyone who has grown up on the south knows the KKK is, at best, a handful of drunk backwoods weirdos who occasionally get together at a VFW hall, or around a campfire, to scream and yell. Yet, they don't actually do anything in the community to get noticed...ever!

My only regret is I will never own a company and be rich enough to be in this situation and tell everyone to go frick themselves.

First the Atlanta Falcons logo is based on Nazi imagery, and now this.
I literally can't.
I literally can't.

One of the greatest lies this board loves to perpetuate.

The irony is not lost on me that the snowflake candle is soy based

Liberalism is a mental disorder. Triggered by a candle. Sad.

Snowflakes melting down over literal snowflakes.

All the KKK is, is Dale and his buddies from King of the Hill.

If they needed a snowflake design then they should have just called Disney Marvel to use they/them
