I know we're talking about something different but:
Funniest thing about it is, I don't know any Black folk who buy j-crew.
Black folks are the last people who buy j-crew, hence the last type of people "they own."
I'd also like to see who published that catalog, eveybody involved should be called out.
Edit: just saw what the lame did with a thumb. Discusting humor. But guess who they'll try to blame for taking it too personally? The focus won't be on the lame for making such a distasteful joke, but on everyone "taking it too seriously." Murica.
But honestly the kind of backlash toward the ad isn't unwarranted. The fact that people feel that strongly about it and would actually believe it was real in 2015 shows where the trust is, and we know trust is earned.

I think J Crew intentionally did this for the free promotion.
They probably know that black people aren't their main demographic so they probably figured that a controversial (racist) ad would go viral and give them boosted publicity.
After being called out all over social media and media, they will apologize to black people and their main demographic (lame cacs) will still buy the clothes because they weren't the ones offended by the ad.

I agree with everyone but I think it runs backwards. It's not some inherently racist sentiment that some ad exec couldn't suppress anymore, it's that the racist aspect of the ad doesn't matter.
I can't remember the last time I saw a j crew ad. Most of us on the board would normally look right past them but now even we have a long thread on it, this is on the front page of reddit, this will show up on Huff Po and other news sites.
They did their job. It's disgusting and anybody with half a brain can see why it's inappropriate, but they didn't care because they knew the shyt it'd kick up.What's the downside of what they've done? No one's gonna get fired and thousands of people will end up discussing this when they wouldn't have even noticed otherwise. No such thing as bad publicity kind of deal.
So we're just going to continue to ignore the "racist message" in the ad was fabricated?It says Stripes: We Own Them
nikkas came in this thread and started roasting J.Crew talking about,"I've never seen a Black person wear J. Crew."Its cool that you've never left Gaston, Alabama
breh, I hate to be rude, but shut your CAC ass up, as if J crew isnt Euro inspired. You MFs make me sick. With you BS excuses for everything
Anyone else notice the cac in the op has his baby dikk all on the mag
