Watch our report:
A couple of Volkswagen bigwigs say they’re baffled by how an inflammatory ad for their Golf 8 made it onto their Instagram and Facebook pages.
The ad shows a large hand of a white person pushing away a dark-skinned man from a vehicle, another lifting him up, then the first plucking him into a cafe in Buenos Aires, Argentina, called Petit Colon, French translation for the Little Colonist or Little Settler.
When criticism of the offending ad began, Volkswagen took to Instagram to say the ethnicities of the people shown are irrelevant, and it was “surprised and shocked that our Instagram story could be so misunderstood.”
“We posted a racist advertising video on Volkswagen’s Instagram channel,” Jürgen Stackmann, the company’s head of sales and marketing and Elke Heitmülle in charge of diversity, said this week in a post to social media.
There were a number of people who said they wouldn’t take Volkswagen’s apology, and the ad getting past so many people shows a lack of diversity in the company
“Anyone involved should be fired immediately, as they obviously lack any common sense or cultural awareness,” one person tweeted.
Carson told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, June 7, \"I believe you're going to be hearing from the President this week on this topic in some detail.
The country has been in a state of unrest for the past three weeks with multiple cities across the nation experiencing peaceful protests and violent clashes with police.
The President has yet to engage the country in a dialogue that would ease the tensions brought about after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis on Memorial Day.

Even so, Carson believes that the President will set aside some time this week to address Floyd’s killing, the daily protests in response to it, law enforcement’s reaction to the protests and what the federal government will do in response.
Then Trump use of the words, “thugs” when referring to protestors in Minneapolis, and not to mention the President’s own well-documented racially insensitive past, could lead many to believe that whatever is to come will do more harm than good.
The news was announced during the 2020 NFL Draft.
Yandy Smith-Harris isn’t backing down from people suggesting she’s a phony for taking photos at a recent protest.
Smith-Harris, 38, and activist Tamika D. Mallory attended a protest over the weekend in Mount Vernon, New York, to help fight against police brutality.
One person commented on her post, “Yandy does anything and everything for the gram ask kimbela.”
As of late, the “Love and Hip Hop: New York” star has been advocating for Black men and women who’ve lost their lives to police brutality and systemic racism.
Smith-Harris was also seen marching at another protest in New York on May 29.
Twitter is now positioning itself at the forefront and announced it’ll be honoring Juneteenth by making it a company wide holiday.

Clearly, Tommie Lee is proud of her assets, and she made that quite clear on Monday, June 8.
In the post, Lee poses on the steps of a swimming pool in a white bikini and pair of oversized black shades.
Late last month, Lee captured a photo of herself bending over in a corner, which highlighted her trimmed waist and meaty clappas.
What many don’t know about Lee is that she used to model a few years ago before becoming a reality TV star.
“I’ve been around this my whole life, it’s my lifestyle I eat, sleep and s–t music.
