You know people need to learn the meaning of propeganda. Kendall Jenner is just a model doing a job for pay; the pepsi corp is part of the white establishment trying diminish the impact and importance of the Black Lives Matter movement the same as they did the protests and movements of the late 60's and early 70's with a constant barrage of propeganda and paying people off to speak out against the hippies the Black power and other white based movements too. They want people to forget about the murders these honkie kkkops kkkommitted and really to forget about the movement all together and view it as a lark. Well they succeeded in one thing. I will no longer drink pepsi. Coke is the word for me. In fact that's the best way to voice your displeasure with Pepsi, quit buying their products! Lets hit'em where it hurts the worst; THE WALLET!!!! It's a shame too coz' I prefer pepsi to coke. But since they think Black Lives don't matter, I can drink coke from now on! And Kendall has no part in this; she's a model who models and acts for pay; she had no idea what they were up to! So attack the head not the tail.
A new Pepsi commercial featuring Kendall Jenner as a
soda-wielding protester garnered online backlash as some denounced the
advertisement as appropriation for the Black Lives Matter movement.
The “Live for Now Moments” video released Tuesday shows Jenner going from platinum-wigged celebrity to concerned protester and eventually handing a police officer on the demonstration line a can of Pepsi. He takes a swig, and then grins as Jenner dances off with fellow demonstrators.
Reaction on social media ranged from some saying the imagery was tone deaf, to it evoking a widely circulated photo of Black Lives Matter protester Leshia Evans last year in Louisiana. Evans was detained when she approached police at a demonstration in Baton Rouge.
Pepsi defended the advertisement despite the social media backlash.
"This is a global ad that reflects people from different walks of life coming together in a spirit of harmony, and we think that's an important message to convey," the statement said.
Jenner said in a statement to E! News earlier Tuesday she was “thrilled to join the legendary roster of icons” who have worked for Pepsi in the past.
“To me, Pepsi is more than just a beverage — it registers as a pop culture icon and a lifestyle that shares a voice with the generation of today. The spirit of Pepsi — living in the ‘now’ moment — is one that I believe in. I make a conscious effort in my everyday life and travels to enjoy every experience of today,” she said.
Jenner has not weighed in on the outcry.
