"I Just Met With The CEO Of Gucci. It's Time For Them To Make Amends." - Dapper Dan

[Ghost Utmost]

The thing to do would be to stop fukcing with Gucci altogether

I'm broke so no amount of apology will make me buy the shyt I'm the first place

This is the same as a dude who catches his bish in the act but he's unwilling to be a man and bush her, so he goes through all this hoop jumping to make himself feel better about staying. Knowing she don't respect your ass.

Fukc Gucci. Dapper Dan is starting to irritate me too, now. Fukc an apology. They knew what they was doing when they did it. That's disrespect. Apology doesn't erase that

What part of We don't give a fukk about this useless bullshyt do you not understand?

2012, 200 posts, showing up when Kaep got his money. We know what you here to do.

fukkin Cac!

You already made your statement and you are now repeating yourself. You didn't have to alert me to say the same thing twice. Now you're going on a tangent about me posting in a Kaep thread which has absolutly nothing to do with nothing. Just go on about your day. Its Friday and we all got paid, just like Kaep. Move along young man.

Black folks caring this much about Gucci is more of a problem than them being racist cacs imo

LOL. Now u saying absolutely nothing that has to do with the topic. You got triggered after I pointed out that most of ya'll are keyboard militants wont actually go outside to protest your dislike for Guccis pandering because you think typing on a messageboard actually means something.

They don't know Dapper Dans story. They don't know that Dapper Dan said out of his own mouth that one of his biggest regrets was during his hey day he had a lot of brothers in his ear telling him not to do business with white people and how it limited his range and how he had to watch the likes of Karl Kani and Fubu take off because they didn't do that. Not working with white people is the exact opposite of being a c00n. Calling Dapper Dan a c00n is just a sign of the times of where this social media society is. These fools really don't know DDs story.

Actually, my color didn’t even hold me back. My perception of my color held me back. Reverse prejudice held me back. If I had been more open to dealing with white people and Jewish people, I would have been more successful today. Back in the day I stayed angry, and I didn’t even realize how angry I was. But anyway, that’s my problem. That’s why I’m so happy about my son. He’s growing up in a different world. -

Why do you think you were so angry?

I got tricked. I have to admit it. I got tricked in the sense that those demagogues who needed us to think that the white man was such a devil exploited us to the point where it stunted our growth. I’ve seen guys where it had a more detrimental effect on them than it had on me.


Dapper Dan interview 2015

Dapper Dan Thinks Kanye West Is Doing It Wrong


I cant find that other interview but there it is. He says it himself that him being caught up in the era thinking that the whiteman was the devil held him back a bit ( When he says demagogues it sounds as if he's refering to Farrkhans influence in the Black community during that time) The man was on that "The whiteman is the devil" tip back in the day and it affected his business so it looks way off hearing these "armchair revolutionaries" in 2019 who dont even know DDs history calling him a c00n all of a sudden. Its just a sign of the times in this wack social media era.

Why do we care so much? It's not the first time they've done this and it won't be the last. This is just one of those instances where Gucci, like many other companies have done, felt the need to make it clear how they feel about black people. This emotional response to being called a "******" is pathetically embarrassing. Instead of using the company's racist actions as an impetus to form our own alternative, we rush to grovel at the feet of Massa and ask why he hits us so hard.

The last big image of Gucci before this was Souja Boy in the Gucci outfit, and dusty Gucci headband, going viral. A week later they put the blackface mask out.

I respect what Dapper Dan has done as he was one of the best designers of his era and in a lot of ways hasn't gotten the credit he deserved outside the community but if he had real balls he should dissassociate with them. Then again the dude is in his 70s and not trying to fukk up his pockets.

This.

And to keep it 5000 they are using him to inch their way into Harlem on the back of his 80s legacy. They want him to be whatever draw he can be to that boutique for as long as he’s around but he has no say and it’s not like they care or else that sweater wouldn’t have been a thing to start with.

These brands love pulling off these stunts, the publicity that comes with it along with the fake outrage. But they could care less about Dan. These high end brand were the same ones trying to shut h down back in the day when when was making custom shyt but now want to use his credibility to help ride the wave since a lot of these celebs who were kids in the 70s/80s respect Dan because they wanted Dan’s clothes coming up.

How many of you will log off and actually go to the townhall meeting to express your opinion where you can make some real noise? Or will ya'll just keep posting what you feel about all this online as if that will make change?

It’s Gucci who gives a damn just don’t wear the shyt it’s not hard
They can apologize a million times my response is still fukk em
I don’t need no damn town hall meeting with Gucci
Besides I’ve been make an effort to only wear black designers anyway

 

[YamakaSmacker]

We need our own shyt again.

I see you still holding on to your platinum fubu shirt
