A Black woman who never pstrionized the company is on some respectability politics shit because of the name.

It's canned soul food that's more processed than the Bucket of Twinkies. You're not missing out

Before they came out with that line of food, I think they had a cookbook that was really good.

Cookbook is totally different, I'd rather have cookbooks than this.

pissyrabbit.bsky.social•86 days ago

Absolutely.

I distinctly remember boom boxes being referred to as "ghetto blasters" through the late '80s.

That carried over into the mid 90’s at least

"generational disconnect?" Oh, no, Lizzo, don't get old just yet! You're too young to be pontificating on generational disconnects.

And if if you see kids on your lawn, just ignore them. Resist the urge to yell at them.

This is the generation of rage baiting & clout chasing.

Folks will do & say anything for clicks these days & a lot of the time, making disparaging comments about Black folks gets those clicks people want so badly.

Especially if it's from Black folks.

Now racists get to cosign her nonsense.

Ok thank you! I think only our generation experienced that reclamation. I thought it would carryover henceforth, but after seeing the controversy, I guess we have reverted again. Society seems to be doing that lately!
