Skittles launches color-less candy to celebrate LGBTQ pride, but is accused of white supremacy (yes, really)

You know the Outrage Industry is out in full force when Skittles is being accused of racism.  But that’s exactly what happened when the company decided to make color-less candy to celebrate LGBTQ pride.  On the back of the package, it reads:

“Only one rainbow matters this Pride. Give the rainbow, taste the rainbow. All the lentils are white in celebration of Pride. Enjoy the mystery mix.”

First, the company called the individual candy ‘lentils?’  Really?

Second, can’t candy just be apolitical?

Third, people were NOT happy with the fact that Skittles decided to celebrate “equality” with white candy.

This is soooo fucking stupid.
Why should whiteness mean equality?!
Thats the fucking problem!
We will never have nor want whiteness!! pic.twitter.com/zatBSbSNDA

Skittles realized how white/capitalist PRIDE was becoming and wanted to join in the efforts. Interesting. https://t.co/HIHZDYslxN

These types of tweets went on and on.  It just goes to show that you can’t ever be liberal enough for leftists.  Even when you try to bow down to their version of “righteousness,” you’re apt to do it wrong.
