The weeknd cuts ties with H&M after racist ad

[mag357]

I got dumb ass females talking about black people shouldn't wear Bathing Ape anymore () or Tommy Hilfiger (that damn hoax will never go away) because of this ad then and how they still gonna shop at H&M. I'm about to play Nas "Black Girl Lost".

My opinion on this is that it was done in poor taste and was coincidence. If you ignore the racial connotation its not really nothing crazy to see a little kid rocking a hoodie like that. I'm not a monkey and I don't associate black people with monkeys (I get the history) so its just a dumb ass kids hoodie to me. What if the model was white and black mothers bought the hoodie for their child? I don't think H&M would deliberately do some racist shyt and its been blown out of proportion, a P.R. blunder.

I feel similar.... but I just cant understand how somebdy in their marketing department couldnt see a problem... Those marketing ppl usually look at every little thing that can make or lose money when it comes to advertising.
Alot of ppl not from America, and businesses not originated in america dont really understand certain sterotypes and other offensive images or sayings. This maybe the case here..,
Still... kinda odd, from a business perspective

This is tryhard. How many people are even aware of where the cheap brands they buy originated? People shop at places like H&M, Forever 21, American Eagle, etc for the look and price. Nobody's trying to be the next brand ambassador.

And I really dgaf how you want to frame it, it's still VERY out of touch to have never heard of the brand. It is what it is.

where did i say i "never heard of the brand.."

dumb ass cant even read properly..

The fukk? Who said anything about YOU personally never having heard of the brand?

Before you get to calling people dumb asses make sure you don't look straight retarded yourself.

it really doesn't i hate when people put up donation numbers. donating money is for people that have no interest in putting in actual physical work in the field. they just do it to get in the news. "hey look i did something for black people". why was dude even working with H&M in the first place. No black brands around to do a collab with?

nikka then you donate your money then and see how it feel

Donating money is just as good. He put in hard work for HIS money, breaking his back to get on. You work that hard and then part with your money. But I guess you one of them “money isn’t everything” nikkas







Knew he was the GOAT way before. I never make a bad choice on who I add to my playlist. Weekend; The black power, Hard on Hoes general

The Weeknd is Pro-Black now. Never change Coli.

You can be pro pawg and pro black

So apparently one can be pro black and a c00n at the same time

One tweet and nikkas ready to crown him no less

 

[The_Third_Man]

[WyldStyle]

Also what the fukk was the parents thinking letting this shyt ride?

 

[GilSho]

When was he not?

Forgot his dating life, y'all know this is the same dude that signed some fat Arab that uses nikka in all his songs right?

What Pro-Black man lets an Indian use the "N Word" freely?

You cacs have no idea what the word c00n means. Y'all stay exposing yourselfs

 

[Manny]

This site seems like it's full of trolling cacs in blackface.

No you can't you can pawg and not be a c00n but you can't be "pro black".
