I hate being the one to school friends/family members to it and getting angry with them all over again...but glad they eyes get open to why that shit is insulting. I gotta feeling it’s about to get dusted off
 
As emotionally connected as these niggas are to these brands y’all think they gonna give them up....plz...niggas only asking for a 3 months ban anyway
 
This is tough because if you boycott him for not sticking up for the rest of the community you essentially hurt a member of the community. How does a community police stuff like this without it also negatively impacting that same community?

How many of y’all were taught about black face in elementary, middle school, or high school?

I’m just curious because it was never actually explained to me until I took an AA Studies class in college.

I used to laugh my ass of at them Tom and Jerry cartoons when Tom got blown up by dynamite and it turned into blackface when I was in elementary school. I didnt know betterback then. Hey I admit the shit was funny though.

Rapper Kodak Black says he isn’t going to follow the crowd when it comes to boycotting Gucci for selling a turtleneck sweater that, when pulled up over the lower half of the face, resembled blackface.


The Italy-based luxury clothing company has pulled the item off shelves and apologized, but fellow rappers T.I. and Soulja Boy have said they are boycotting Gucci nonetheless.

Kodak Black, whose given name is Bill Kapri, says leave him out of this.

“See my little Gucci clothes that I bought?” he said on Instagram Live. “And I’ma wear it. I’m black, right? And I’m thug to the bone, right? … But sometimes Black people do be reaching for like no reason – just be reaching.”

He went on, “Them people ain’t do nothing. … Them people just had a little ski mask. There’s all kinds of ski masks in the world.”



The Culture Update posted the Instagram Live video on Twitter, prompting followers to condemn Kodak Black for his decision.







Posted @Silverson81, or Silverson, “Kodak Black is seriously misguided and undereducated in terms of Black history.”

The Gucci controversy is one of a series of such events to unfold in recent weeks involving blackface, a practice that some historians argue dates as far back as the European Renaissance, and evolved in America during slavery and Jim Crow eras to demean Black people.

Singer Katy Perry apologized for and pulled shoes from stores that appeared to sport blackface and Prada did the same for trinkets sold in its stores that resembled blackface. Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam and Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring both have admitted to wearing blackface in the past and some of their constituents are calling on them to step down.

Floyd said the same thing. Kodak a disgrace to Haitians. And Floyd has nothing outside of boxing.

People find it easy to boycott shit they don't fuck with anyway

And they find excuses to not boycott shit they use heavily...

That's a skewed way of looking at it. How can you say that about all Black wealthy Black Americans?

Are we not talking about Kodak Black anymore?

Lots of rich people give back. There are tons of Black-run charities that exist with black donors who care about the community. You don't think folks like Obama and Oprah have colleagues and friends who are benevolent?

how you figure?

please explain so i can shred that shit.

this is about the dumbest shit you ever posted.
 
1. Let people of any race spend their money on whatever items they want to or feel like. Their prerogative.


2. They don't need to explain themselves for their actions in this case with Kodak... If he still wanna rock Gucci... He don't owe anyone an explanation


3. Authentic Gucci items would be out of the reach of millions of Black people the world over ... Let those who can afford them shits be 'outraged'

What you view mega rich americans as part of their racial community? I dont. No matter the race. There aint no connection and they not morally superior because they have money. But youre an aspiring rich nigga in america our viewpoints aint never gonna be the same.

Rich people in the west are always the enemy. You can do your little essay on why we should embrace rich motherfuckers. White people did that last election and now we got rich dumb ass in charge. Black community likes Floyd and Kodak. But obviously them niggas stupid. We should follow the rich and dumb?

Im not feeling the whole concept of capitalism from the ground up. This whole country was a business idea and your ancestors were some of the products. All these rich niggas but yet yall complain about the state of the community and knuckle heads and baby mamas. But with all these rich niggas the hood is still the hood. You wont put your kids there. Tell me what rich niggas do for the black community?
