Pepsi Drops Kanye West?

Allegedly an AP news item, but it had no links and I couldn't verify it (the Kanye and Pepsi around the world promotion is still playing at pepsi.com) but hey, like the MSM's coverage of black folks in New Orleans, sometimes you gotta break some eggs in order to make up some news;

Kanye West, former spokesperson for Pepsi, has since lost his endorsement deal with the soft drink giant due to his publicized remarks regarding the mishandling of the Katrina evacuees/victims.

The rest of the note enclosed calls for a boycott of Pepsi products. Other than the Quaker Oats, I don't see any non-expendable health food items being peddled by Pepsi.

I mean if you're like me...just SICK and TIRED of being black in America and being mishandled, then do something. Our parents and their parent's SHUT DOWN an entire bus system during the Civil Rights era by CHOOSING to do something.

Here is your opportunity.

We're calling a boycott on ALL Pepsi products. If they want to drop
Kanye, how about we DROP them! And as much as we love a good Pepsi and
a bag of Fritos, we should NOT buy another Pepsi including any of
their family products (see link below) until a formal apology is given
and a donation is rendered to the Red Cross (or a similar organization) in the sum of the amount of Kanye's contract with Pepsi.

If you're committed to doing something to tell not just Pepsi but the
world (including the Associated Press for that racist caption) that
there is power in the Black community, then pass this along. Because
there's POWER in numbers.

Oh, Craig! You and those wacky Coca-Cola ad execs. What will you think up next!

Is it ok for blackfolks to wear cotton? I always hear when the boycotts start, but never when they're over.

[Temple3]

Not only is it okay to wear it, you should feel free to pick a few bales, as well.

AP reported this? Love how journalist don't check facts before reporting stuff like this....Kanye West is still a spokesperson for Pepsi. Check out the All Hip Hop website.
