EFFORTPOST South African Racist Shampoo Drama during COVID lockdowns.

Greetings Dramatards!

It's been stage 6 Loadshedding this fricking week, so I've been very unproductive at work, cuz we've had between 4-6 fricking hours of no power each day. I literally sometimes just sit at the office like a baboon waiting for the power to come on. Our glorious Free State communist leaders were very wise when they used up all our Power Station coal reserves so that they could party uninterrupted during Easter Weekend, now we have to make up for the short fall with a much higher than average power-cutting cuz we used up our Province's allotted coal rations, I'm literally not joking. Luckily, our Capybara overlord coded a much superior site than Preddit, and the Create Post feature saves all your shit before posting, so i can take forever to vomit out wordsoup, and search articles. Typing on my phone is a pain in my butt.

Today I wanna talk about the infamous Clicks Racist Shampoo ad of 2020. Clicks is a Pharmacy chain in South Africa, and filled a niche pretty quickly after public healthcare pharmacies went to the gutter pretty quick once the ANC had their tendrils all over it. Clicks is a pretty good store chain and I get all my glue for sniffing from them. Back in September 2020, the draconian Lockdowns were slowly lifting, after thoroughly destroying the South African economy, and obliterating industry sectors like Restaurant business, in spite of proof that COVID was not even remotely as deadly as advertised, especially against south africans, compared to geriatric 99 year old crippled Italian geezers.

It's a story for another Longpost, but so many people were surprised at the fact that South Africans were effectively almost immune compared to their European peers, especially against places like Italy where ambulances had to ferry mountains of bodybags from Rome to cremate en masse - during the 1st 2 months of COVID's explosive spread across the globe. Meanwhile south africans in shanty towns were were licking doorknobs and parting in Shabeen clubs and ignoring State lockdown warnings left and right, and ...... not dying like flies? Why Styven Why

I'll tell you the open secret, basically the healthcare and sanitary conditions of places like Europe are so high that people live much longer lives that they would have, had they been born in places like South Africa were the environment is much more harsh, we are practically near zero good public healthcare, and basically drink raw unfiltered swage like REAL MEN. Basically the wheat had already been seperated from the chaff, and natural selection had already run its course. So when COVID came, most people whom were like 60+ old were those whom had the most robust immune systems on a national scale. Meanwhile places like Italy, with one of the highest elderly populations on Earth, and with a fragile population that has basically been kept alive solely through obescene healthcare, fell over like sandcastles the moment a more deadly than average virus ravaged their ranks. In summary: Euros weak 👎 , Africa Stronk! 💪

Anyways uhm, so in August 2020, the last of many of the harshest lockdowns were being lifted after 6 months, and it became apparent that the very poor South Africa would desperately need to reactive all of its economic sectors so as not to completely collapse. Many businesses were desperate, even big chains like CLicks, so had started to shit out heaploads of funky quirky ads to lock in lots of peeps as quickly as possible to recuperate their customer base to pre-COVOD levels. So they hired wingnuts to create ads.

And oh boiii, did we get an explosive front row seat to national drama when a galaxy brain intern thought it a good idea to create an ad featuring Black woman's hair as being the before Image of those weight loss Verimark swindler crap, and Hwite woman as the after perfected image result!

Very soon many black South African moral busybodies, including the ever infamous EFF and Julias Malema, were protesting & trashing Clicks' shops nationwide. The lockdown had been long, and peeps had energy they needed to expend. The biggest r-sluration was that the stupidity involved here was that Black protestors were destroying Clicks shops, but that the ad wasn't actually MADE by clicks! It was another private company from overseas who created the shampoo, Clicks only housed the brand in their shop lmoa. A bunch of shops got destroyed or firebombed

Of course the TRESemme shampoo company apologized like cucks and pulled the specific brand of offending shampoo, and was we'll make it up to you guys, we'll donate 10k p*ssy pads, plz buy our junk

A bunch of libtards were crying crocodile tears about how terrible this intention DEGRADATION OF BLACK WOMAN's dignity

Our old friend Juju Malema would insert himself into the controversy and add fuel to the fire before Clicks corporate heads could even respond, and started shouting about how this systemic racism wouldn't stand by validating destroying Clicks' shops, again ins spite of the fricking fact that Clicks were NOT responsible for making the ad.

No matter how much non r-slur journolasts tried to set the record straight, black peeps were and nothing could contain their indignity! The protestors demanded the Clicks chain shut down their shops for at least 5 days so that they would lose revenue. The other 90% of Clicks stores not being trashed ignored them because they were pharmacies for people who needed medecine. Watch the video - the stupidity is astonishing.

Some U-tube indignity by the r-slurred commenters of the above video.
