This board should take about a month long break from HEB related threads.

I've never been to HEB and I'm getting close to making it a point to never go. Same with Costco. The cult around them is weird.

You never want any of your company's image items to be hijacked.
You always need control over them.
The HEB Buddy character turned into a black stereotype on a tee chert is not the image HEB will want to be associated with.


Last month they were so woke with their black history month tee cherts.
This month their staff want a stereotype.
So much for Be The Change.....

What a ridiculously stupid stretch this is.

Don't ask me, I didn't bring it up. Someone asked what it was and so I defined it in practical terms based off a prompt from a previous post.

My bad I replied to the wrong post. People are grasping straws over this one

Thanks to Google I found out what bussin is.

It's a viral tiktok phrase from some rap song.

Rapper is a little blonde female, the raping and music video looks like it's straight out of the early 2000s. Who knew in 2021 little blonde girls would be in the rap game.

Imagine this being your daughter. Lmao not only is she advertising she's basically a pornstar (all female rap artists nowadays **** anything that moves and sleep with every executive, almost every single one has videos of them stripping that they themselves release) but that accent is worse than the fake country accent people use in modern country.

In my 60's, talk about confused! I'm headed outside to yell at a cloud and get sombech off my lawn!

I love getting political advice from the teenager bagging my groceries

Good job libs!!

And I still don't know what this thread is talking about.
The English language is a perfectly fine language for conveying information, I don't know why this constant effort to pervert English.

So you don't believe it is a black stereotype? Looks that way to me.

What did I just watch

This is one of the few instances in which I support the condemnation (and possibly capital punishment as a result) of cultural appropriation.

for the hip impaired...

Our culture has degraded into complete immoral garbage.

It's simple, He is saying that with esg now being "scored".....companies will try and improve their esg score by being woke.

So get ready for more woke

I'm too old to understand any of this. And I'm 38. Or maybe I'm just too white.

Have you seen the comments on that shirt? Everybody wants one. It might be copyright or trademark infringement, but that might not hold up against it being essentially a parody.

1) I'm too old to have a clue (or care to know) what pop-culture thug speak means...
2) Regarding the "Be The Change" I see nothing inherently wrong with that slogan. You want change to happen, then be the change, represent the change, you want to see. In other words, better yourself and set the example.
3) I'm sure HEB's marketing group will react accordingly to a (very good) photoshop hijacking their carefully created brand and image.

And this board getting spun up over a photoshop. REEEEEEEEEE

Does anyone else notice that they are the exact same pictures except for the t-shirt? Odd...

It was photoshopped

---

To be clear, the Bussin one is photoshopped. The original is the Be the Change.

I'd send my daughter to a convent in Russia if that was mine. Her parents absolutely failed at their job.

I previously also fell under this category. Luckily I've had a training on how to be less white. There's hope for all of you to also learn to be less white. Then, and only then, will you know how to interpret this.

I'm glad my grandfather isn't around to see this.

Many, many kids will spend the first half of their years immersed in and glorifying this garbage then wonder why they're not as successful as others later in life...
