It took this to remind him that he is a black man :snoop:

the breh donated quarter of a millie to black lives matter iirc.

yes, you can argue the origins, validity, motivations and end goal of the black lives matter movement, that's a different discussion, but it was being positioned, even if questionably, as a mainstream movement for black people and he opened his purses generously for that

When I first heard about it I thought it might've been false outrage but when I saw it...

What made these dumbass people think this was a smart image to put up ANYWHERE. Like you can't be this stupid or racially insensitive to not know people would be offended so this was intentionally done.

When it comes to cacs,

There's a fine line between edgy and racist.:francis:

I think it was a faux pas on H&M's side but I don't think it warrants outrage.

I don't think it was deliberate.


It wasn't just ONE person who approved that shirt

It wasn't just ONE person who approved that ad

It wasn't just ONE person who approved that slogan


Back to the ad though, im sure someone said "hey this cant be good especially with a ni--, i mean a black boy being the model"

Dude this was definetly done on purpose. Its all about marketing.
