Walmart apologizes for selling Juneteenth ice cream
Walmart is the latest company to fail miserably while trying to be woke and inclusive. The company launched a red velvet-flavored Juneteenth ice cream to “share and celebrate African-American culture, emancipation and enduring hope.” Many critics found it insensitive to market ice cream based on a holiday marking the date many Texas slaves were notified of their freedom – long after the Emancipation. “It is important to have diverse voices at the table when making strategic business decisions. When you don’t, you end up making costly, foolish mistakes,” one wrote.
