Candy brand Skittles is facing backlash after partnering with GLAAD and altering some of its packaging to include 'Black Trans Lives Matter' messaging.

Images of the packet on social media prompted an outpouring of criticism on Twitter today, with many likening the 'woke' marketing to Dylan Mulvaney being used in Bud Light advertising.

It's the fourth year Skittles has teamed up with GLAAD (the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) to 'support the LGBTQ+ community by amplifying and celebrating their stories', according to Skittles' official website.

They know their demographic but it makes no sense....Black people are 12% (and falling) of the population.....Trans people are like 0.1 percent of the population.

They are marketing to an audience that could be put into a large high school football stadium....OK, whatever.

Leftists are oblivious to the world around them, I guess.

I had to double-check..that's today. This is August 11th.

PRIDE month is over and LMAO!

I guess these companies don't care how much money they make, or should I say lose?

God bless you always!!!

Being reminded of the candy catch phrase, it is rather surprising that they didn't make their latest move sooner.

God bless you always!!!

P.S. I'll stick with M&M's. They have always been my favorite candy anyways.

If a Black Trans person or any black gets shot and killed by a gangbanger the loons won't give a shit, but let a white male be rude to one and they will destroy everything.

Well fuck, GOD knows this is the most pressing issue of these times...
