Daily Dirt's celebrity gossip and entertainment news with real honest commentary
Civil Rights groups are at it again, this time it’s against Hallmark Cards. Graduation cards have been pulled off the shelves because the NAACP claims the cards are racist and abusive to black women. The cards in question have micro speakers that tell the planet to “watch your back” and warn of ominous black holes.
Hallmark spokesman Steve Doyal insisted that it is simply a light-hearted message about graduates feeling so powerful they can dominate the universe — even matter-devouring black holes.
“The intent here is to say that this graduate is not afraid of anything.”
An NAACP spokesman said the audio sounds like, “black whores,” not black holes and that card is implying that black women are not as capable or as powerful as their white counterparts. Hallmark has caved in to the pressure as as all companies do when there is a black issue at hand even though the card has been on shelves for three years.
Hallmark agreed to pull all these cards off their shelves and destroy them, I wonder if all the hip hop songs that constantly refer to women as whores, bitches, hoes, skeezers and tramps were to do the same, would we have any hip hop rappers making any money. Again I think not. Like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the NAACP when racial tension is at a low they have to reach for straws and pull shit out of their asses.
