Band-Aid launching racially diverse bandages

After years of petitions, Band-Aid will now launch a new line of bandages in a range of different skin tone colors — from beige to dark brown — to "embrace the beauty of diverse skin," the firm announced Thursday.
The bandage brand, which is owned by Johnson & Johnson, said it plans to roll out the new product in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement amid protests against racial injustice and the death of George Floyd.
For years, advocates have petitioned the brand to produce a broad range of skin tones.
The company didn't say when the new Band-Aids would hit the shelves. In 2018, the multi-tone bandage company Tru-Colour, which celebrates different racial identities, made its way into Target stores nationwide.

They should have made a BLM with black. That's the only way that could work.

what?
And this isn't weird or extra or anything of the sort. This was one of the most basic displays of white privilege. There were many times in my life where I had to use a bandaid and wondered why did it have to stand out so much? Why couldn't it blend and be conspicuous? It looked silly and there was no option for my black ass. Growing up I never realized it was "flesh toned" for white people.

you really were concerned about how your band-aid looked? is it an accessory or just a temporary thing to stop you from bleeding? :uhh:
:rudone:
Cnxnxndncc
i was never concerned with the color but I can understand why someone would be
There are already other companies that have bandages like this I believe.

That's what I said.
There's a reason it's flesh colored in the first place, the manufacturers were clearly concerned about how it looked. Anything else?
nnnn like that's exactly the stance they had whilst it took so long to cater to Black skin.
accessory or!? :fuming:
