They pulled their ads based on low viewership or do you have a video taped confession of religious discrimination?....
Lowe's told CNN over the weekend that it has received "a significant amount of communication from every perspective possible" regarding the show.
"Individuals and groups have strong political and social views on this topic, and this program became a lightning rod for many of those views. As a result we did pull our advertising on this program. We believe it best to defer to communities, individuals and groups to discuss and consider such issues of importance."
Some of the posts on this thread are sad and disturbing. Muslims are no different than anyone else in the world. The Muslim families on this show are as American as you and I. They are not terrorists; they are not going to kill your entire family. They are not taking over this country. I can feel the sighs of relief in here about the show getting low ratings; that means it will probably get canceled soon and there won't be a bunch of "terrorists" on TV teaching "propaganda" to the children.
Now here comes all the posts claiming that you don't care that the show stars Muslims, and you would support Lowe's decision to boycott any show because of the ethnicity/religion/race of the people on it.![]()
Let's be honest, if a company decided to stop sponsoring 19 Kids and Counting because of the Duggars' religious beliefs---which would be just as unethical as what Lowe's is doing now----some of the posters here would be screaming about "oppression" just as much as they are supporting Lowe's decision.
Some people here are a little TOO supportive of Lowe's decision and it speaks volumes.
Looks like Lowe's made a great business decision.
If Lowe's was inundated with complaints because they sponsored the Duggar's show,or any show for that matter,they would probably decide to withdraw from that show. It's all about the squeaky wheel and $$$$.
Almost every religion has extremists that use it as power over others . That's who I have issues with ,whatever religion they practice. JMO
Where does it say that Lowe's was inundated with complaints about the show? They withdrew because of one bigoted organization. Any complaints they got from viewers probably compared the Muslims on the show to terrorists. So Lowe's has the right to withdraw from a show because of the race/religion/ethnicity of the people on it because a bunch of bigots complained? That's perfectly fine with you?
The Duggars? Do you think Lowe's is receiving thousands of complaints about 19 Kids and Counting by people who are screaming that Christians are evil? Definitely not, and Lowe's would never, ever, in a million years pull their advertising from that show due to the Duggars' religious beliefs. Most of the Americans who are applauding Lowe's decision about All-American Muslim would FLIP if that happened.
So I would love to know what show on TV right now....could get enough complaints....and what the issue would be....for Lowe's to pull their advertising, that would be the equivalent of Lowe's withdrawing from All-American Muslim because of their religious beliefs? Basically, what other show out there where Lowe's could pull their ads because of the race/religion/ethnicity of the folks on there and it would be perfectly fine because "real Americans" complained?
The PC Crowd? Is that your name for people who won't let you get away with your bigoted beliefs? Let me guess.....you're the type who thinks the fact that you can't make racist and prejudiced comments about the ~enemies~ aka people who aren't white, Christian (not including Catholics), or heterosexual is because of PC? You know, the people who are taking over this country from the "real Americans" like you.![]()
Yep, a lot of people would be upset if Lowes pulled out of the Duggars show (not me),just as a lot of people are outraged that Lowes pulled out of this show. We are a diverse country,sometimes united and sometimes divided.
For a large national company it comes down to $$$$$.
