You\u2019ve probably heard about the Pepsi commercial that showed Kendall Jenner ditching a modeling shoot to join the streets for a protest and offer a cop a Pepsi. Ugh. We could see Pepsi wanted to be that hip company that\u2019s down with human rights, but they just really missed the mark. This ostensive \u2018liberal\u2019 ad is actually no-good.<\/p>\n

First up, it co-opts images from real grassroots protesters, replacing them with millionaire superstars. For instance, the shot of Jenner handing a Pepsi to the policeman is hauntingly similar to that of Iesha Evans, standing stoic and brave as she was arrested last year in Baton Rouge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Second, the idea that a can of Pepsi could end police brutality totally trivializes the life-threatening work that real Black Lives Matter<\/a> activists risk.<\/p>\n

This is what social media is good for \u2013 so let\u2019s use it that way! Thanks, y\u2019all for keeping us on the tracks and for making sure we honor the right peeps.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
