Some New York residents found black pumpkins, purchased from retailer Bed Bath & Beyond, offensive as faces painted on them evoked blackface.
Retailer Bed Bath & Beyond has responded to concerns about blackface pumpkins Halloween decorations by pulling the product.
“We understand that someone complained about them, and so once we got word of that we immediately took them down," one of the firm's partners, Mary Marzolla, told the 24-hour news station. She said the pumpkins had been personalized with the names of each of the firm's partners and weren't meant to be offensive.
That was an appropriate move, says Wilbur Aldridge, the Westchester region director for the NAACP, who was contacted by the news station about the situation. The law firm should also be commended for quickly removing the display when told it offended some, Aldridge says. Story continuesResponse online ran the gamut, noting that politicians who had been known to wear blackface remained in office – including the just re-elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who had been found to have worn blackface three times – while the pumpkins were tossed.
