I've seen some pretty distasteful MLK Day ads, but this one...
It's somehow even worse in the original email. It has a little animation of the chocolates jumping into Dr. King's mouth.

A chocolate dream? Bro..
How to out yourself as a racist 101
Are you white, does people calling white people cracker make you angry
Now imagine black people's perspective being called that especially when their people had massive unjust racist treatment in the past and those ficking nutjob right wingers are trying to bring that back
Just curious - are you a racist troll or do you not get that your post reads as being extremely racist?
Yup. I stop at racism. I think people should. You want to throw out some casual homophobia too?
No, I really don't think this is going to change anything. Though I'd be pleasantly surprised if it did.
Honestly, I just wanted to share this horrifically tone deaf email I received. It's so fucking terrible that it makes you laugh about it. Like, some marketing goon somewhere actually thought this was a good idea, and the mere fact that that goon exists is both sad and kinda funny. It's like when McDonald's used "I'd hit it" in an ad for their double cheeseburgers, only racist as fuck to boot.
