That the naming of beauty products is not a legit social issue is a given.... I don't take issue with Unilever making this decision, nor even with the possibility that it came to their attention because of the SJW . I do think that now that they've come to the realization that "normal" can include many shades of skin, they are now responsible for that fact and for doing something about it... So if they want to change the designation from "normal", that's fine, so long as they don't change it from that to "targeted" shade names such as "Black is Beautiful" vs. "Butt-Ugly Cracker".I see your point, but I don't agree with it. I think it's more SJW crap, as evidenced by somehow tying beauty products to the death of George Floyd. I refuse to participate in that particular nonsense. What's next? Removing the word "whitening" from toothpastes? It was never meant to be a derogatory term. That people are choosing to make it one now is baloney. There are legitimate social issues that should probably be addressed. The naming of beauty products is not one of them and IMHO cheapens the legitimate issues.
Subject change:
I saw an ad for a movie coming out, "Without Remorse", which is a Tom Clancy story, a prequel to "Hunt for Red October". The character of John Clark was always a large, solidly built man, one who I imagined as capable of taking someone apart as easily as my grandson does his legos. It's been a long time since I read the book, so I can't say if it was specified that he was a White man, but that's how I pictured him. Maybe my own bias, maybe not, not really important. The actor they chose for the role was a Black man, somewhat smaller than I pictured him, but still solidly built. It struck me oddly for a moment to see him, then I remembered that they once cast Willem DaFoe to play Clark, and I was left with nothing to say about it.
Can a Black man play John Clark? Well, Michael Clark-Duncan played Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin, in a movie, and he was clearly the best actor for the role. His skin color is not a factor. This is why Ghostbusters (The Estrogen Edition) failed.... it was more about making an all-girl movie than it was about telling a good story.
I won't be paying anything more than my normal monthly fees for use, but I look forward to seeing Michael B. Jordan's portrayal of Mr. Clark.
Blessings,
