Mastercard Changes Name To Equalitycard

PURCHASE, NY—Popular multinational financial services company, Mastercard Incorporated, which is known for its extensive line of credit, debit, and prepaid cards to process payments between card-issuing banks and merchants, has released a statement that they will now be known as Equalitycard. This shift in branding follows other companies who have made major branding changes due to their negligence in propagating racial stereotypes in America like Aunt Jemima syrup, Uncle Ben’s Ready Rice, and Land O’Lakes Butter.

This massive change in branding awareness comes in the wake of protests pointing out how far we need to go in stamping out systemic racism, even if it is found in beloved food products. Financial products are now coming under fire as many consumers pointed out that the troubling phrase “Master” was in the name of Mastercard, leading many to think of a checkered past when slaveowners expected to be called “master.”

“Honestly, in 2020, there is no place in America for terms like 'master',” said Ajaypal "Ajay" Singh Banga, Equalitycard’s chief executive. “That is not an image we want to evoke when consumers engage in financial transactions that might place them massively in debt to us, through late fees and massive interest charges. Equalitycard will always promote the equality of cardholders of all races.”

I’ll stick with my other cards even though they’re probably PC cowards as well but they didn’t change the name

This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of! Guess I'll go get a Visa card to replace my Master Card.

I started to read this and thought it was a parody from The Onion. Hey, Ajay Singh Banga, are we still allowed to use "master" as a verb. Let me know, please! I wouldn't want to offend you.

You don't have to add government to expect the current government to do it's damn job. Look at Chaz or chop. They have no government and look at how it is going, 5 shootings, rape murder and robbery galore. We need some government just not huge government and Lefty's that don't want to fix the problem in their shat hole city's they have ran for 30 plus years, they just want to keep the narrative alive that their main demographic is being oppressed so they can pander to their audience and get that vote.

Next they'll be coming for the master cylinder in your car's braking system, and when they're done there for the master electrical panel in your residence. Biden and AOC will have us walking and living by candlelight. Don't give in.

At this point in "wokeness", I had to click through to the source because this really could happen. People and organizations are caving daily.

Typical Republicans have common sense. You can blame Democrats pandering Blacks - not the Republicans. Ever notice when an individual 7:12 pm can't explain why Democrats are so stupid that they put the blame on Republicans. Just saying😝
