The latest entry to the Tone-Deaf Marketing Hall of Fame is here. One might expect Walmart's Juneteenth Ice Cream to be criticized. As soon as the retail giant started putting theCelebration Edition on its freezer shelves, the social media mob sounded off, calling itgarbage and worse. The ice cream flavors include swirled red velvet and cheesecake. All positives, but also exploitive for capitalism. June 19th will be the 2nd year that Walmart has been recognized as a federal holiday, and it commemorates the day that the last enslaved Americans got the news that President Lincoln had abolished slavery. Walmart is launching a celebration edition for Pride Month in June. The ice cream has brownies and cherries. That is either equal opportunity or offensive.
