Paris - French cosmetics giant L'Oreal announced Saturday it was removing words like "whitening" from its products, against the backdrop of global anti-racism protests as big business wakes up to the issue. L'Oreal is the latest multinational after the likes of Unilever, Johnson & Johnson and Mars to respond to the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, prompted by the police killing in the US of African-American George Floyd last month. "The L'Oreal Group has decided to remove the words white/whitening, fair/fairness, light/lightening from all its skin evening products," the company said in a brief statement. The announcement follows

If it's racist to want lighter skin, then stop selling lighteners, no matter what you call them.
Leave that market niche for a company who is more rational than woke.

Well the Lord did say that in the end times people will be given over to their inner crazy. My words, not God's but that is indeed what is happening right in front of our eyes. The crazy is coming out to play, and boy is it going to be a Summer to tighten our girdles and stay frosty.

Well Goodby Loreal! I've used it for many, many years, but I refuse to give my money to a company that is so stupid they would fall for the BLM shakedown! I'm done with them!

Will all the celebrities, news people, politicians who have ultra-white teeth be required to dye them? Red for Republican, Blue for Democrat, Greens, Yellows, Black, etc, etc. We're planning to boycott the news soon... too stupid and depressing.

My brilliant idea for Rent-a-Burkha kiosks on every corner is now closer to reality than ever! Rent one and nobody will know what color or race or religion or size or sex or age or or or or or you are! And an added benefit would be that they act as an enlarged mask as well for Covid19 protection.
Shark Tank of GoFundMe?

L'Oreal has some marvelous lipsticks which like nearly all their products are terribly overpriced, even though very nice. I can always go back to Cover Girl. Unless and until Noxema gets woke. (Mom would turn over in her grave at my buying $17 lipstick!)

I find myself annoyed with companies like this because all of sudden they are making these changes. Shouldn't have been doing this all along? When I see all of these companies making changes now, it is an indicator how little they were doing before and I think twice about the product I am about to buy. Do I really need to buy from this company?
