[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get why she would be chosen as the face of the black lives matter movement or the fight against racism when she has never done anything in her personal life to support the movement or even show that she cares about it.

Well, I mean I "get it" of course it's fueled by money and popularity but it's a slap in the face to the people that are really in the communities doing the work and fighting the fight.

BTW, this thread probably belongs on the Entertainment page.[/quote]

Do you think they should have picked.... Simone Biles?  Someone else who's black and popular? Zendaya? [/quote]

NP, but I don't think they should have made the commercial at all. It completely trivialized and degraded the important issues behind those protests, and the people participating. As if simply having a Pepsi to offer the police officers would have made all the difference and no one would have been arrested, beaten, pepper-sprayed, etc., and all of the issues giving rise to the protests would just disappear.

That they've picked someone like Kendall Jenner just adds insult to injury, although I suspect they would have had trouble finding someone with more of a social conscience who was actually willing to participate in something like that.[/quote]
