Bro that’s not racist that’s actually really cool mad respect to the cop 🦍 a man of culture

[goosestep]

Wait! I’m black, can someone tell me how is this coin is “racist”? Oh I did not look at that coin and think “Black people”.

[moemac]

I guarantee that image will be on t-shirts this weekend....at BIG T

Such BS, nothing racist about the coin at all. As a matter of fact, if the Black Police Officers identify with the coin, then that should be investigated. If a coin bothers the cop that complained, then he must really be scared when he has to arrest a bad guy. Sad...

[samm]

I have seen several stories on this and I still don't see how this is racist

[donrivard]

They just don't want to deal with the truth

[billsmith]

Well when he sues they can pay him out cuuz if he was black there wouldn't be an issue.

So how exactly is a Pillsbury Doughboy racist? Is this kind of like milk being racist because it's white? Also, why is that one guy in the back still wearing a face mask?

[SB-qmwg]

uh... what? A dough boy. So what.. Just TRYING to divide at every step.

[buisyman]

I"m sorry, but not only is that a stupid reason to suspend someone, I just don't see the racism in it. I see truth. I live in Dallas, so I KNOW what goes on in Oak Cliff.

[talawoods]

Wouldn't call it racist but definitely stereotyping a community.

[happity]

The snow white Doughboy looks more like a Nephelim giant or the Ghostbuster's Marshmallow Man ...

[robbyjay]

So it's an accurate coin. What's wrong with that..

[happity]

Today I learned that the Pillsbury doughboy is apparently an African American gang member and dealer... Did I get that right? 🤔

[AnthonyFelixCano]

That's a nice coin I fucc wit it haha

[JoseRodriguez-hteo]

What makes him a dope dealer i don't get it the Doughboy white, no drugs or drug house it correctly represents that area and the people who live their will agree

[jasont]

I don’t see this as being racist. Maybe a caricature of some lower income traits, but not racist.

[carlitoscard]

WHAT A WASTE OF TAX PAYERS MONEY, CONCENTRATE IN REAL CRIME, LOOK WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE STREETS

[geraldinelowery]

I'm impressed with Mr. Butler, intelligent and about the right thing and the future of his community 👌

[kemolowlow]
