FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - Walmart will remove its ice cream, commemorating Juneteenth amid growing backlash.

Photos of the product recently surfaced on social media.

"Share and celebrate African-American culture, emancipation and enduring hope," the label read.

The ice cream consisted of a swirl of red velvet and cheesecake flavors.

"Juneteenth holiday marks a celebration of freedom and independence," the company said in a statement to FOX Television Stations. "However, we received feedback that a few items caused concern for some of our customers and we sincerely apologize. We are reviewing our assortment and will remove items as appropriate."

Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when Union soldiers brought the news of freedom to enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas, two months after the Confederacy had surrendered. It was about 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in Southern states.

Last year, President Joe Biden signed a bill creating Juneteenth National Independence Day. Since June 19 fell on a Saturday, the government observed the holiday Friday.

At least nine states have designated it in law as an official paid state holiday, all but one of those states acting after Geroge Floyd, a Black man, was killed last year in Minneapolis.

They also made one with the niggerfaggot flag.

A chemical manufacturing company called Balchem Corp has the Juneteenth trademark.

Lmao. They did lose it in the approval process, https://trademark.trademarkia.com/juneteenth-97008500.html (it's marked as abandoned) but it is very funny. Blatant obviousness how much companies are slobbering over this new faux holiday.

Twitter months aren't legitimate.

memorial day started as a solemn moment of remembrance meant to reflect on the millions of soldiers we've lost to the horrors of war, and now it's another c-list consumerist holiday dressed up with a soulless patriotic veneer so corporations can push more sales.

this is not new. you are not special. get over yourselves.

Roots: Remastered plays entirely in reverse of the original. The freed niggers are slapped back into chains, forced to work the fields to pay their debt to White humans, then shipped back to the auction block, get their nigger name returned and are put on a boat to row home.

Some niggers are so happy to be going home that they come back to life and jump out of the ocean into the welcoming arms of jewish slavers!

Good great slaveholding God. I take back the aspersion on your character.

Not gonna lie, that swirled Red Velvet and Cheesecake ice cream sounds banger.

Watermelon with bits of fried chicken mixed in.

And collard greens? Don't be takin' 'way our collard greens!

So uh...when McDonald's markets Shamrock shakes, are they donating the proceeds to Irish charities?

Do ice cream makers send the profits from spumoni flavor back to Italy?

Are limited edition Thanksgiving products giving back to the American Indians?

When Chinese New Year rolls around, are any brands with a "year of the ____" product pressured to pay up to Asian anti-hate organizations or stop producing it?

Do Day of the Dead themed cupcakes at the bakery require donations to Mexican charities or risk being cancelled by activists?

No, I'm just saying how they could get away with selling the product without being cancelled. Not what I support personally. They should be able to sell whatever they want, but they should know Juneteenth has a lot of BLM sentiment behind it. It's basic market research. Anyone could've seen this coming a mile away. Plus, both the flavors seem too rich for summer.

Blacklash. Nothing is ever good enough. They get pissed off about whether ice cream is niggery enough. How do you think nogs would respond to cash reparations?

Not enough. Wrong flavor. The cracker that signed the check was not inclusive enough.

We should sterilize them like Israel did.

The United States already tried that and when Germany started doing it too, it became a problem.

In their quest for a perfect society, eugenicists labelled many people as “unfit,” including ethnic and religious minorities (blacks and jews), people with disabilities, the urban poor and LGBTQ individuals. Discussions of eugenics began in the late 19th century in England, then spread to other countries, including the United States. Most industrialized countries had organizations devoted to promoting eugenics by the end of World War I.

Must be nice. We barely even get “Indigenous People’s Day” (which was Columbus Day prior to 2020) off.

It's still Columbus day to me. This is like Facebook trying to force the Meta name change down everyone's throat. "indigenous people's day" is a word jumble that I doubt will be officially used for too long.
