For the record, nor am I (Catholic).

Do you honestly think most stars pay real attention to anything but their rehearsed fluff pieces they come out with while promoting whatever it is they’re really there to promote?

Better yet, pick a different set of animals.

I think the problem could be better solved with just not screenprinting the monkey-saying on any sweatshirt.

I’m white & in the UK, & I winced immediately at this.  We still have a legacy of “fans” throwing bananas at black football players both here and in Europe, and I’d say the average person on the street would see the problem without it having to be pointed out. I’d say boycott but I can’t buy there due to their fascist…

Wow, glad to see you feed your high horse well. Anything for a star, eh?

An unbelievably high number of white South Africans among them. I mention something that specific because I have actually known these people.

When I was working at a used bookstore, we came across and old book that claimed black people evolved from monkeys, while white people were literally made by god in Eden and then spread from there.

So forget everything I wrote below, it does not apply. Just saw The Root version of this article and it contains additional evidence that this was piss poor decision if not deliberate racism making from the get go. Fuck ‘em.

Could someone please proof these photos before posting!?

Yeah, im not black either but I guess my point is that people are claiming to be worried about the children but the only people who will be offended by this are adults. Kids wont even know what we are talking about. To them its just a funny shirt. To me thats the direction we need to go. These terms need to be…

I mean, I agree with you on that last part, I’m just more on the fence with putting that up as an ad. I would imagine (I’m not black, so all I can do is imagine here) that black people seeing a black kid wearing that hoodie in real life would not be as offended as they would be seeing the ad on H&M’s site. So in that…

While I agree (and it would be a little more understandable if this was just some random black kid IRL who decided he liked that sweatshirt), this still isn’t the sort of thing you’d want to take a chance with online; put the black kid in literally any other of the sweatshirts, and use a white kid (or really, just NOT…

Uh, what if a little black kid likes monkeys?

So, wait, was the kid actually modeling that hoodie or was it just digitally superimposed over him while he was wearing a generic hoodie?

Matter at hand is you need to find a Dem that people don’t actually want to see lose. I think part of the issue were those who didn’t so much want T to win, but Hillary to lose.

Kanye may or may not be happy about this

Getting off would be nice

She does need to take a step back I think. She’s close to the point where she will easily be missjudged and the good things she’s accomplished lessened. I agree, too, with the misplaced guilt.

I don’t know if she’d make a good politician (or whether she wants to be one), but she can put a speech together like nobody’s business. I’m crying in my seat.
