I really believe that the first company to tell these people to eat shite and die will become the most popular company in America.

I wish more companies would learn that the best response to these "protests" is often to ignore them.

Every time a company gives in, it encourages more of this "I''m offended" nonsense.

See, the problem with society nowadays is that there could be 20 black girls all walking on one white girl and nobody would find anything wrong with that. BUT there is absolutely nothing wrong with this picture.

And I'd be willing to bet most of the noise being made about this would be from white people with their white guilt, sad downtrodden history loathing dispositions showing.

Good grief.

This is a clear example of what happens when you internalize racism. It defines your perception. It consumes you. It ultimately destroys you.

The internalization of racism is even more interesting today because it has become a bigger problem than racism in its current form.

These people really need to read Malcolm X's book.

This was on NOLA.com yesterday. It also pointed out a similar ad from te 80s that had the same thing but it was a black girl leaning on a white girl.

And I bet the girl's parents had no issue with the photo.

Actually, most of the BS has come from Black community.

I read the actual tweets after Gap posted the pic. They were sad, and the crying wolf syndrome many Blacks have these days.

It's sad, really. When everything is racist, then nothing is.

Meh. There have always been idiots like the ones outraged by this ad. Now they all have a voice (social media). Therein lies the issue.
