Funnily enough my friend just sent it to me. He’s planning to ask if fried chicken and watermelon are on the accompanying diet
Lol.
What’s sad is that people act on other people being offended.
They should have doubled down and said it was harder than “slavery” in ancient Egypt... try get all the people of Egyptian slavery decent riled up
Or how about all the slaves ever, of which 99.9% of everyone alive today are probably descended from.

The Labour MP for Luton North, Sarah Owen, said on Twitter the "offensive advert shows exactly why we need Black History Month and why the Black Lives Matter movement is so important".
Surely it highlights why it's not important.
Don't celebrate Black History Month and this post/workout isn't created and causes no offence to anyone.
Morgan Freeman has the right idea

What does black history month have to do with anyone outside of the US? Is this now a thing? Will we be celebrating Thanksgiving next?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_History_MonthIt has received official recognition from governments in the United States and Canada, and more recently has been observed in Ireland, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. It began as a way of remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora.
The UK has been doing it since 1987 and in a different month to the US.
