If look at other sweaters in same category they have white kids. In the year 2018 there’s no way brands/art directors can be this negligent and lack awareness. I’m certain there will Be media fixers and whatnot and maybe a grand gesture like a donation to some charity (donations under these circumstances are the corporate version #SomeOfMyBestFriendsAre move if there ever was one) all this tells me about is that the seats in the boardroom lack something…wanna take a guess?Ī post shared by Questlove Gomez on at 5:42am PST Put some respect on it!! When you look at us make sure you see royalty and super natural God sent glory!! Anything else is disrespectful. Outrage has spread across social media, though some have tried to turn a negative into a positive by altering the racist image. While the image has since been removed from H&M’s platforms, the damage was already done. “This image has now been removed from all H&M channels and we apologize to anyone this may have offended,” H&M spokeswoman Anna Eriksson said in a statement. The company’s apology wasn’t enough to keep him on board. The Weeknd previously worked with H&M on a few collections in the past including Spring 2017’s Selected by The Weeknd. i’m deeply offended and will not be working with anymore… /P3023iYzAb Woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo. “i’m deeply offended and will not be working with hm anymore… “Woke up this morning shocked and embarrassed by this photo,” the XO boss wrote in a Twitter post denouncing the racist ad. The hitmaker announced the split after the Swedish fast-fashion retailer came under fire on Monday (January 8) for putting a black child in a hoodie with the words “COOLEST MONKEY IN THE JUNGLE” plastered on the front of it. The Weeknd will no longer be working with H&M.
