‘Right out of the racist’s playbook’: Aboriginal Elders condemn Samantha Armytage and Prue MacSween
After threatening Seven West Media, Sunrise host Samantha Armytage, and media personality Prue MacSween with Federal Court action earlier this month, a group of Aboriginal Elders have condemned Armytage and MacSween for “uneducated, ignorant and offensive comments” on social media.
Yesterday, MacSween tweeted that Nestle rebranding Red Skins and Chicos is “woke nonsense”, and last week said she was “heading out to buy Coon cheese, Coco Pops and Colonial beer” to “support these brands under attack” from “PC [politically correct] imbeciles”.
So @Nestle is changing the names of Red Skins & Chicos because they are out of step with current societal values” & the Nestle brand is “rooted with respect”. I think the brand is rooted fullstop. And I suggest anyone who has had enough of this woke nonsense stops buying it
I love this beer. But the name Colonial is putting them on the wrong side of the debate, especially when you folks like Prue fighting for your right to have it. I emailed CBCO this morning to offer them the use of my name, Colin, to rebrand. I expect to see Colinial beer in my local bottle shop soon.
