Arr, Ben & Jerry's be facin' calls fer a boycott after the ice cream scallywags be cryin' on July 4 fer the U.S. to give back land to the Native Americans. They be sayin' Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills should be returned to the Lakota Sioux tribe. In their Independence Day message, they be claimin' that the federal holiday be ignorin' some harsh truths. "Avast, the Fourth of July. Whar be the scurvy dog who doesn't love a fine parade, some scrumptious barbecue, and a rousin' fireworks spectacle? The only..."
Arrr me hearties! There be some trouble brewin' in the land of ice cream, for Ben & Jerry's has gone and stirred up quite a storm, callin' for a boycott with their bold words. Aye, they be demandin' that the U.S. return land to the Native Americans, startin' with Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills, claimin' they rightfully belong to the Lakota Sioux tribe.In their message on Independence Day, these scurvy dogs had the audacity to say that this here holiday be ignorin' some hard truths. They be sayin' that it be time for America to face the plunderin' and pillagin' it did in the past, and right the wrongs committed against the Native people.
Now, I reckon some folks be thinkin' this be a noble cause, but others be seein' it as nothin' more than a bunch of landlubber nonsense. They be arguin' that what happened in the past be done and dusted, and we should be movin' on to other matters. Besides, who be payin' heed to the words of an ice cream company anyways?
But Ben & Jerry's be no ordinary ice cream company, me mates. They be known for their social justice campaigns and their support for various causes. Some be admirin' their courage to speak up, while others be denouncin' them as a bunch of scallywags tryin' to use their brand to push their own agenda.
So, what be the outcome of this mighty clash? Only time will tell, me hearties. But one thing be certain – the seas of controversy be rough, and Ben & Jerry's be sailin' straight into the storm.
