Portland based "Voodoo Doughnut" faces backlash as they try to open location in New Orleans

[King_Kamala61]

I've found that white people largely live in their own worlds, oblivious to non white people. Until it's pointed out to them that what they do, say might offend others, it would have never crossed their minds.

This particular case seems to be deliberately pushing the envelope. MFers think it's funny to use that type of imagery and to mock people's belief systems. Not content to do it, but to bring it to the city most associated with that belief system.
Have to point out when people disrespect and cross lines, and there have to be consequences.

It's the white jesus....he undefeated...gave them the Earth to rule over ..they kinda have a right to act like a dikk...I mean they enslaved our ancestors and made us hate our own idolatry and deities....

As on brand as it gets.

Most overrated place ever.

I went there in Portland several years ago.
The donuts themselves aren't even as good as even other shops, but they have weird toppings like bacon or other weird foods you'd never put on top of a donut. And that's their appeal is the weird toppings

The actual voodoo doll donut, filled with jam pause, is good asf. The rest are forgettable as hell.

Good win for New Orleans. I prefer beignets anyway

When they fresh and have the powder left and you snort it

*(full)History of this caricature at this link, from the Jim Crow Museum at Ferris State U.

The Golliwog Caricature - Anti-black Imagery - Jim Crow Museum

Golliwog (originally spelled Golliwogg) is the least known of the major anti-black caricatures in the United States. Golliwogs are grotesque creatures,

The Golliwog began life as a story book character created by Florence Kate Upton in 1895.

He was a caricature of American black faced minstrels -- in effect, the caricature of a caricature. She named him Golliwogg.
The Golliwogg was based on a Black minstrel doll that Upton had played with as a small child in New York.

I've watched a couple videos on YouTube about Portland and their drug and homeless issues, what a shyt hole. I wouldn't want anything even associated with the city

I remember hearing about them on Man Vs Food, where Adam Richman was damn near nutting all over the place for those bland looking ass doughnuts .

Just make the goddamn doughnuts without all this extra shyt

That's like me making a vegan fast food joint and pushing my idea of eucalyptus oil being the cure of life on a bunch of human that will die from the poison.

They are coming to Dallas, too. Interesting bc there's already shops here that do what they do

These people are sick in the head.

Now why would they do that?

Why even bring a business non-local to New Orleans/Louisiana with a trademarked name that contains Voodoo in it?
