If it's not about sweaters then I expect them to support the end to whatever real oppression they think is important. I only see them opposing people who think something is racist. It's always the same type of people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic 11,922 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Eh its pretty much common to call kids cheeky monkeys here All this tells me is that H&M are clearly lacking some racial diversity in their ivory tower because this wouldn't have been signed off otherwise knowing the SJW culture we have. The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I saw a white person wearing a hoodie that said "I love Jacob's cream crackers" or "I love Hellman's mayonnaise," I'd think it was quirky...and move on with my life. It's up to us if we want to read more into something. Have white people ever been oppressed like black folks being called monkeys though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I think people started getting into other things that made the original idea take a back seat. At this point people aren't fighting about a young black kid sweater a sweater but more about the questions that certain members brought up after regarding what racism is and how people shouldn't be offended, etc. The original post was about how The Weekend publicly announced that he will not work with H+M due to this sweater. And I simply stated I think that that was a very overboard reaction, and I wish that we didn’t feel the need to jump to these extreme conclusions all the time. that’s all! Im not sure what everyone else is going on about, this is just my point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borislshere 52,545 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Compares an extensive history of Black people being mocked and called monekys to white people recently getting called mayo. A Mess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly! This isn't something new. The people on here that believe everything has to do with "SJWs" or "being offended in 2018" are either very young and don't know history or they are just ignorant to decades of history.

I just wish he could have used that voice for something ACTUALLY racist and damaging. Not a little sweater that COULD possibly maybe be seen in a racist light.

That's very true. But he did have a clothing line with H&M recently. Still does. There are multiple ways of approaching this story. Maybe he should've approached this in a different way? Maybe he should've talked with a rep with H&M knowing he did an actual collab with them. And then maybe H&M needs a closer eye on the marketing they put out. I think that's pretty fair.

You stuck to your guns but was willing to be understanding of other peoples' perspectives. In doing this, you also helped me see it from a different perspective.
