Did you read the article? The shirts were being passed out on the first day of BHM. It was a HUGE oversight, but good on the Kings to try to clean things up.

I wasn't basing that on that reaponse. It was on his stance in general. We don't need anybody to whitesplain what it we should get upset at

I have sooo many clothes from H&M. Been shopping there for years....this hurts yo 
How can you be this clueless (or just straight up racist) ? Not one person said "This might not be a good idea" ? Not one person is aware of the racial climate right now and how intensive this is ?

Or did the new year happen and someone just decided to add this racist display just so innocently?

If it was so offensive then why would the parents allow their son to model this jacket?

I definitely understand both sides. The lunar new year starts late January or early February. Overall, its good that the Kings pulled it. In the end, it doesn't hurt anyone if you stop giving away the shirts and it prevented a much bigger PR disaster.
Is it as bad as the HM pic? Nope, not even close. Some one in wardrobe needs to get fired for that.
I myself work for a multibillion dollar company. You have to be mindful that you do not offend/harm anyone.
We had a product that we nicknamed "SS". We had to rename the product nickname because we did not want to be appear Nazi sympathizers.

Yo who’s man? It’s sad that you missed out on G-Unit clothing and G-Unit classics in 03-04 because of a simple homonym. Gorilla and Guerilla are two different words my man and the latter which 50 named his group has no racial undertones

1. Yea Ok.If it was so offensive then why would the parents allow their son to model this jacket?
2. Some companies super impose clothes onto their models?
So everytime someone is seen IN an ad, it doesn't mean they were physically in those articles of clothing

what?
CNY follows the lunar calendar so it never has a set day.
CNY in '16 was on 2/8.
The Kings had home games on 2/1 and 2/3 and didn't have another one until 2/19.
So yeah, it was most likely innocent. Sorry, but Boogie overreacted. A celebration for one of the largest demographics in CA is now an insult to black people?
That tee was dope btw. If I was a Kings fan I woulda been mad to not get the shirt

I'm sayin whatever day the new year was someone knew beforehand and made the tees in accordance with that
Not that they made a bunch of tees and then said hey it happens to be the new year

Probably just a Photoshop. Lots of ads have stock models.If it was so offensive then why would the parents allow their son to model this jacket?
But I'll play along with your scenario: Money. Parents probably wanted ends for it or wanted lil buddy to get his foot in the door. End of the day it's not blatant racism like Abercrombie & Fitch. It's kinda subjective. Some people refer to their kids as their little monkey.
Another example of heinous acts in the past leaving behind ghosts.

I thought it was gorilla unit too.
Similarly, if you know anything about black greeks, alphas refer to themselves as apes sometimes and use the gorilla on lots of things. My boy (kappa) made the observation that he doesn't understand why they do that considering what it once meant. I don't care one way or another.

Gorilla Unit
I wonder if dudes also think that in the jungles of South America there are squads of apes at war with one another, and trying to overthrow Governments.
Just a bunch of Silverbacks throwing hands down there all the time

Kids parents are the suckers for allowing Lil bit to model that. Anything for a $$$
