I said can we focus a little bit more on things that matter. why did I feel like you would be the one to take it out of context

I made my phone calls soon as I got to my desk that day. I started not to leave him there, but it was literally his first day. They got the heat on now. So let's move in to the next subject.

I find it incredibly ironic that she's from Stockholm. Can't make this shit up, man. The truth is stranger than fiction.

Smh, and they wonder why they call us Monkeys ... this right here does nothing

 

[Kentucky]

why are you defending them calling us monkeys? nothing in response would retroactively justify it.

Not defending them, acting crazy like this is not going to have some of them look at us any different then they have been. Violence, tearing up stuff is not the answer.

I understand ...I just hate for our people to act like this, what they call a “Caged Animal” and some of them just sitting back laughing like I told y’all how they act. We don’t have to take the abuse but there is other ways to fight it. I don’t believe a person was born racist, something they was taught and grew up in. Even if we change one racist person mind of thinking is good ... I like what you said in this post

that aint harming them out in corporate. this is just making life harder for the poor retail workers. if you wanna do direct action like that, go stand outside corporate HQ and chant or something.

Lets use our voices,march outside their corporate offices and hurt them in the pockets.

I dunno to be honest that is the only legit answer I can give

I feel blacks in 2018 think about this in 2018 being enslaved by white Arabs in Libya is racism, the KKK still existing in the deep South of America is racism , Arabs and Pakistanis honour killing their son or daughter because they marry or have a relationship with a person of black origin is racism

But don't get me wrong I can see why this H&M hoody would upset people but i'm not sure if the intentions are racist at all

Whites call black people apes and monkeys to disrespect them, it's the same as calling us niggers. So the outrage is warranted, these people know exactly what they were doing. There isn't any excuse for it.

you aren't black. you are Indian.

sit down. it isn't your place to define what anti-black racism is.

That is fair enough

This whole thing is so.....stupid.

I don't think H&M did some racist shit with that ad, but someone on that ad team should've fuckin known that this would cause some sort of backlash.

All they had to do was put a lil' white kid in that hoodie, and more than likely, this isn't even an issue. So, they deserve all the criticism they're getting.

As for the parents.....I can see their kid turning into that lil' Reupblican bitch that goes on Youtube, making his dumbass videos about GOP "goodness" and liberals "evils."

Power of the dollar.

you dont have an understanding of how deep racism is.. educate yourself. venture outside the realm of hiphop a lil bit.. and ask questions or just listen.
