Hopefully, any American with even a cursory understanding of racist caricatures can tell that the Conguitos logo is bad. The monkey-like body, the bulging eyes, the exaggeratedly big and round and ruby-red lips—just absolutely textbook racismo going on here. And for Americans unfamiliar of just how racist this blatantly racist candy mascot could get, check out these even more racist commercials Conguitos—which is still in business today with the same racist mascot!—has put out over the years:
Clearly, the Conguitos logo is bad. The figure expressly harkens back to the kinds of racist caricatures and the concomitant stereotypical behaviors that were used to dehumanize black people and justify their second-class status. Silva comparing Mendy to this racist caricature is also bad, as it directly or indirectly lends credence to the supposed accuracy of racist depictions, and anyway is just a dumb thing to do. Again, to any American with any sense of this stuff, this is obvious.
Jose has you on this one. It is a lengthy post. I'm deleting as such.
Flagged.
”No copy and pasting lengthy paragraphs from sources as a comment”
"If you find the logo racist, then you're saying that being black is something degrading and shameful, in which case the true racist is you."
hi babe!
I miss my trans threads
They prefer I post my stories and comments elsewhere.
If they don't want the traffic and page hits, that's fine. No skin off my ass.
The image is a product logo displayed on store shelves ... so clearly not racist according to Europeans.
It’s on the shelves in every supermarket in Spain.
All Spanish people are racist. /s
I understand Spain’s invaders also love that chocolate.
And is racist and people across the pond know it also.
This is like a Rorschach test. If you see racism everywhere then you’ll see it in the logo.
No, its racist full stop.
Just because the person being texted does not think its racist does not mean it was not racist. Conguitos logo is as racist as it gets.
Nope. That animation was racist full stop. Are you going to continue to defend it in the channel?
That wasn’t my quote.
exactly don't let people put words into your mouth
Ok. I used an image printed in EVERY newspaper across Europe.
The debate is whether it’s racist or not, I posted it so people could reach their own conclusion.
I said ok. I didn’t ask you to undelete it.
Some people claim everything is racist.
That original photo in question was.

The logo is racist? Are all cartoon images of black people racist?
apparently so.
"What do you get when you mix an obscenely racist Spanish candy, a well-meaning but ill-advised joke tweet between Premier League teammates, and a manager who clearly doesn’t know anything about the history of racist imagery? Well, you get a racism scandal perfectly suited for 2019, with only a bag of delicious chocolate-covered peanuts to heal your pain."
Nice copy and paste!
