So I guess he isn’t the coolest monkey?

I think everyone is too sensitive these days, but it’s surprising that no one at H&M said, “Wait a minute guys. This could backfire.”


Or do they know exactly what they are doing? I've never heard of H&M before this thread. So I say, "bravo H&M marketing team!"

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the person who was responsible for reviewing things just replied "Looks good!" to the e-mail sent for review. I work with a number of these types.

What about white people?

You'd figure the progressive folks over at H&M would have had the common sense to catch this slip up

It seems to me that the outraged SJW's are the racists for trying to infer a black child is similar to a monkey. And they should feel bad about that.

They even priced it so black people could afford it which proves those racist fricks did this on purpose

What is he supposed to be King of?


I swear, calling each other “king and queen” has to be the stupidest new trend.

The mom has since come out and told people they are overreacting. Said she saw the shirt before and that she didn't care just like the other 10 shirts he modeled that day.

I would imagine he looked the best in the shirt of all the models that day.

Or that HM drummed up the faux anger so people would know they existed.

I was just about to post something along these lines.

If a company does this photo and doesn’t make the connection while SJWs do, who most likely associates black children with monkeys?
