on Thursday that it is currently working with venture partner, Hawley & Hazel, “to review and further evolve all aspects of the brand, including the name.”
Colgate purchased 50% of the toothpaste brand, originally named Darkie, for $50 million in 1985 from Hong-Kong based Hawley and Hazel. Though Colgate says it has evolved the brand over the years, Darlie’s name and logo—which once featured a smiling man in blackface—continue to draw criticism for uses of racial imagery.Colgate’s statement follows a Wednesday morning announcement from PepsiCo that it would rebrand the 130-year-old
So, does all whitening products is to restructure. so ridiculous!!!
WTF
If it makes my teeth that white hell yeah I would use it.
Stop getting offended by everything
🤣🤣🤣🙄
nike needs to also change it's Airjordan brand which is milking the image of a black person who was enslaved by the NBA for years to entertain mainly white audiences in settings reminiscent of Roman slave gladiators in venues similar to the coliseums
I used this brand growing up, and its reputation was it was better than any mainstream one for cleaning and whitening. If they must, I hope they can smartly preserve that. Naming a product after whatever picture or logo is on it is pretty common for the older Asian products
I don’t believe 🤦🏾♂️
Lol at this rate I hope that Nike don't drop the Air Jordan brand 😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪🏾
Welcome to 2020, year of the morons. When white paint was banned as it is too offensive.
Lol
TO AVOID!
What about FairandLovely from Unilever..... Totally a racist product from poor South Asian and African countries....
So, eliminating any and all mention of blackness from products isn't racist.......
