H&M is under fire for racist hoodie

[kdslittlebro]

Not a good look for H&M.

But I'd still buy their plain hoodies because they fit me just right.

I'm the opposite. Couldn't boycott because I never shop there in the first place

Trust me. I get it. It’s the nature of where we are as a society. It’s all or nothing. A line has been drawn and it’s easy to cast definite labels on people if they express something that doesn’t blindly fall in line with one of two distinct ideologies.

I find it interesting my presence in these threads was met differently when I was at a particularly militant stage in my life and everything was “the black man is god...the white man is a devil”.

Once i reached point of realization and developed the ability to step outside of myself and inner and understand all things...my tone sharpened. The okey doke is very real out here...don’t think you can’t get played out here thinking you belong to the right side of the fence.

4 years ago I woulda been the guy caping for Umar Johnson.

Perspective is everything.

Well said.

Thought they could slide a jab in and nobody would notice. H&M is harbage anyway. Do better.

 

[TURBO UNO]

Boom. And just like that he'll cut into H&M sales.

 

[noblekane]

good for the weeknd guys music is trash and he lost his girl to justin beeber but no doubt he got a strong following that will hurt h and m

 

[htg designs]

I don't feel no way bout them making that hoodie. But I would look at black ppl sideways for putting that on their kid. Clothes make statements. So one should be aware of the statements they make.

There is PLENTY of it.

What there isn't is the political and financial power to combat the systemic nature of why we're "killing our own" in the first place.

[northoaklandfc]

The picture displayed can't be argued... But that hoodie is by no means racist... Half of my 1 year old's outfits consist of monkys...

Look at this Boston bred POS.

Never accept or forgot what these devils think of you and never tolerate their coy responses or deflections.

This is the conversation I want to see get started.

 

[noblekane]

This is the conversation I want to see get started.

so you want to see us fight each other rather than fight in unity on the topic at hand?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

This is the conversation I want to see get started.

Start it.

**** it I will. I have one preliminary question for you or anyone else who plays that card often.

What do you define as "doing something" or "being mad" about so-called black-on-black crime? The notion is that people get upset about police violence towards black people...but not upset at black on black crime right?

If so...what actions would you deem as proof that people ARE upset about it? Something that you don't see happening currently.

 

[maxelite]

No the conversation is fine just where it was.
