Subject: RE: black and tans back in the news
No, the subsidiary that is Ben & Jerry's is one of the few socially conscious companies that I know. Their parent company has huge problems.
I think you need to read the whole story about Ben & Jerry's. I am not disagreeing with you about their selling ut being a problem, but the story is deeper than that.
Again, you are also using the same tactics that you used in previous threads Guest (wink wink) - you are trying to shift the story. The fact remains that none of us know if this decision was premeditated, but the history in this country to use the term "black and tan" and as you were nice enough to point out - in others as well. I thank you for finding the Guinness information, it really helped clarify.
