Yeah she's a Republican and refused to explicitly speak out against white supremacy when the controversy about the disgusting American Eagle ad she was in blew up
I hope some day you don't see people as 'with us or against us'. No one is obligated to speak out against anything. I find bigotry and white supremacy loathesome and repugnant to say the least. That doesn't make what you are doing OK.
lol ya that video had every politician as an animal but that was horrible gameplay to have the Obamas as monkeysā¦..like you couldāve picked any other animal. That was also 6 years after he disavowed white nationalistā¦.and Reddit and the media pretended he never disavowed itā¦..still to this day.
The same guy who was sued for not renting to black people btw. The same party the split the black vote in Memphis so they could win another seat. You arenāt convincing anyone but yourself
Not the way most people took it outside of Reddit. If you change that commercial with anyone of a different skin color, Reddit would still be talking about how great the ad was.
Turns out, you can have great genes with white skin black and every shade in between.
I really don't know or even care what her political views are - I just think it was an "own goal" to just not come out and say she doesn't want to be used by ANYBODY to further their political ends.
"Sydney Sweeny has great genes, is a play on words. It was meant to be edgy, but it's just an advertising campaign - of course I don't support white supremacy."
Easy-peasy.
MAGA extremists used her silence to imply that she was indeed onside with the racist campaign they hoped that ad was referencing. I think it hurt her image but she was just at the centre of a media firestorm for about 10 minutes - eventually that goes away and her acting will speak for itself.
I'm not going to go around handing out purity tests, but I'm also going to try and avoid someone and view them poorly if they get directly asked if they denounce white supremacy and they don't give any sort of outright "No."
I'm saying that whoever gave her PR advice did an awful job and the controversy was easily avoided.

you're trying to use a strawman, suggesting that if you say something, that makes it true, rather than the actual point, that if you refuse to say something (like certain people refuse to say out loud the fact that trump is a convicted felon, court confirmed sexual abuser --something he brags about anyway, and that he appears on the epstein files more than jesus is mentioned in the bible) ...That's a really bad thing.
and just for fun, to help balance the kool-aid, since apparently it's needed...

I feel like there's some group of people that REALLY want to sell me on Sydney Sweeney, and I just don't see any real appeal.
