In case they weren't already your favorite purveyors of ice cream, Ben & Jerry's released a statement on Thursday supporting Black Lives Matter. 

Our woke AF "friends at Ben & Jerry's" gave a detailed break down of systemic racism, why the movement doesn't threaten non-black people, and urging readers to "come together to better our society and institutions." Of course, the internet exploded with hot takes, with some threatening to boycott the creators of such iconic flavors as Chunky Monkey, Phish Food, and Cherry Garcia. 

Among the haters and "reverse racism" cries, the hashtag #BenAndJerrysNewFlavor was born—and Twitter naturally came through with enough jokes to keep you laughing into the weekend. Grab a pint of Americone Dream and read the best tweets from #BenAndJerrysNewFlavor:
