Clorox has apologized. I urge readers to boycott the bleach maker until it rescinds its apology, which was a wrongheaded kneejerk reaction to coercion from the PC police and hypersensitive blacks who, frankly, need to get a life.
Here is the back story as reported by CNN Money: Apple recently announced the forthcoming release of its new operating system (iOS 8.3), which will feature 300 new emojis. One of these icons is a smiling pile of poop. The revelation prompted Clorox to tweet, “New emojis are alright but where’s the bleach. [sic]”
This was followed by a poop storm on Twitter. The following is a representative sample of the 985 replies (warning: profanity):
@Clorox Why is the tweet still there? You need to clean up your PR person. Put some bleach on your distasteful marketing ideas.

@Clorox you’re just digging a hole. Delete the shit.

If you haven’t yet figured out what Clorox’s offense was, the CNN piece quotes a second tweet by user IAmPeace(Adrienne) that reads:
Black emojis were added today. Saying this implies you’d rather the emojis be only white, by adding bleach.
Managing to find the Clorox tweet racially offensive takes more than a vivid imagination. It requires paranoia. Sadly Clorox elected to play along, tweeting back:
Wish we could bleach away our last tweet. Didn’t mean to offend – it was meant to be about all the emojis that could use a clean up. — Clorox (@Clorox) April 9, 2015
Seeing racism where none exists has become something of a cottage industry among some blacks and their liberal enablers. For shakedown artists like Jesse Jackson, it’s become a lucrative one.
