see..now you know the CACs over at JCrew did this intentionally. Stay woke guys

[Rekkapryde]

if that wasn't intentional, then it's surely a display of dat privilege (how can you think that's ok)

no minorities in their marketing team to check that kind of shyt. That's why companies need diversity. For this type of dumb shyt that goes unchecked.

I been looking for 100% black own brands for a while and I still can't find any. Anyone know of some?

hit the thrift shop for Fubu.

But seriously, I wonder the same thing. With Puff's shyt, it's not 100% owned by him so that's out.

shyt ain't even subliminal anymore

The guy in the picture is trolling. He covered up the part of the picture that says stripes.

It really says "Stripes: We own them"

Pretty recently. Back in the 19th century, prisoners commonly wore black-and-white stripes. Prisons started abandoning this design in the early 20th century, citing its association with chain gangs. For a while, more demure colors were in vogue. New York state abolished prison stripes in 1904, switching to jackets and caps made of gray cloth. North Carolina kept the stripesuntil 1958, when it replaced them with a color system based on custody levels

From Looney Tunes to Oh Brother, Where Art Thou? the image of a prisoner in a black and white striped uniform (with or without chain attached to the leg) is one that can be found throughout popular culture.


The origin of the black-and-white-striped prison uniform goes back to the Auburn prison system that started in New York in the 1820s. In this system prisoners had to be silent, walk in “lockstep,” and they all wore black and white uniforms covered in stripes that symbolized prison bars. (On another fiber-related note, prisoners in Auburn also raised silkwormsand wove silk cloth as part of their restitution.)


The uniforms made prisoners immediately recognizable as criminals, so if a prisoner escaped, the public could easily distinguish them from the non-criminal population. Eventually, by the mid-twentieth century, these prison stripes fell out of favor and solid-colored jumpsuits became the norm.


In recent years, though, the striped prison uniform has been making a comeback as more prisons are abandoning the orange jumpsuit. In fact, prison supplier Bob Barker (no relation to the former game show host) has a whole line of striped jumpsuits available in a rainbow of colors.

The word stripes being present actually makes it even worse, this is no "innocent mistake" by any means although they'll pretend it is if it gets to the point where they have to address it. this is exactly why I said earlier in this thread, cacs should stop apologizing for their racism and flat out tell Black people, "we did it and we don't give a fukk, now what are you gonna do about it?"

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

What the fukk were they trying to say

 

[big bun]

This is the type of stuff y'all choose to be mad at? Ok.

 

[thirdeye]

I'm not surprised, a lot of these ad agencies are lily white so they don't even have like a clue how offensive this stuff is
