Hallmark Pulls Card With Audio Clip Over Accusations Of Astronomical Racism


It's so hard to understand each other in this life. First there was that unfortunate honey bun mixup, and now Hallmark is trying to prevent a bunch of press conferences from happening (too late!) by pulling a graduation card from shelves. Why? Because either Hoots or Yo-Yo--I don't know which character is which--spouts shockingly racist insults and threats when you open the card. Well, maybe.

This card has been out there for a couple of years. I have heard it, I didn't really get the "black whore" thing. Kinda streching it, maybe it was a "race card". No pun intended. lol
