A Statement From the Founder of Too Black Guys on Drake’s Blackface Photoshoot

The photo in question was not from a Too Black Guys photoshoot however it did feature clothing from Too Black Guys’ JIM CROW COUTURE/HOUSE OF CROW collection which was released in 2008. The collection featured several graphics that highlighted the painful and dangerous period of the Jim Crow Era.

Too Black Guys has a history of representing the black experience in an unapologetic way. Although this was not an image from any of our photoshoots, we feel that Drake, who is a long- time friend of the brand, was brilliantly illustrating the hypocrisy of the Jim Crow Era.

The subtleties of Drake, a young black man, mimicking how white men used to mimic and dehumanize black people may be lost in a rap battle but we should not be distracted from the issues that are still affecting our communities.

there was 2 images one happy and one sad... you rarely see the other one

you can repurpose anything when you take it out of context.

The one time son does something in the name of activism and its this shyt lol no wonder he’s silent on black issues


He's like that dude from those Dos Equis commercials.

"I don't always speak up about issues affecting the black community....but when I do, I prefer to do it in blackface."

:heh:
