Lmao...they should probably let their American employees review the catalogs first in the future.

I mean...... this is a tough mistake to make here... who let this happen?

[Auto Donk]

in a similar vein, I just ordered several "#YouToo" t-shirts to wear out to the local strip clubs and swinger's bars.....

People see what they want to see. I see a handsome young kid enjoying a shirt that uses an animal to describe children who are curious and have fun.

Got to check out what the opposition is saying..

Seriously?

you are in denial if you didn’t find the irony in a black boy wearing that shirt...

Am I a racist because I thought it was funny?

[Auto Donk]

you and me both....

and I love laughing....

nothing made me laugh more than seeing that fatass brian stelter crying about trump's "bigger button" twit, tweet, or whatever the fuk it's called, and reporting to the nation that he was contacting the head of twitter to demand that trump's potus account be suspended for violating twitter's terms of service, in that he was threatening harm to people via twitter.....

i' d love to meet that fatass on the street and beat the shit out of him.....

I see the irony of the situation but I don't think H&m has intended malice towards black people. I'm looking at intent and not a cynical view of the world. I call kids in my life silly little monkeys all of the time. Much a do about nothing.

Ok, I got you and agree.

I don’t think they had any malice either. Probably people too involved in creating it not allowing someone not involved to review prior.

i only use the silly little monkeys when referring to the black guy's trying to roust me for money as I pull up to the courthouse downtown, as I place my Desert Eagle in my brief case, alllowing them to see it in the placement process.....

Maybe fat azz Orca Winfrey can make a speech about it.

I can’t bring myself to go to lib places like MSNBC or huff post, but I get a lib view from CNN.

Some of the stuff is crazy

I believe there is real racism in the world and I believe that some black people, in general, are treated unfairly by the police. The problem, in my opinion, is that the liberal media turns every situation into a discussion on racism. Not every dumb ad and police shooting are racially motivated.

A4k is sharp.... it’s nice to discuss with people who have a clue.

I’m not sure I would say black people are treated unfairly in general by police, but I’m not going to say I have my head in the sand and that some haven’t been treated in certain circumstances.

There are things police to to other races I don’t agree with, like the guy shot in the hotel hallway or the Australian lady killed by the cop knocking on police car. I think most of it comes down to training and the lib media then turning poor judgement and/or training into a race issue

Oh shet, you should have reality show. If honey boo boo can get on, no way your show wouldn’t make millions.

My opinion is a bit skewed. Grew up in the Los Angeles area in the 80's and 90's.

There are a lot of police officers in this country and it literally only takes a few penetrate ups each year to get the media crying about the police being out of control. The media will rarely show you police officers using restraint because it doesn't gain viewers. Below is a clip of deputies using restraint because they didn't want their bullets flying through a neighborhood. I know guys at this department...

[Fire in da hole]

Police have one of the hardest jobs and must make split decisions that have life and death consequences. Their job is not wary and I have much respect for them. I’ll be the first to admit though there are bad cops.

that would be, I presume, the same police dept in the city of angels that coined the phrase "Gorillas in the Mist" referring to their early morning response call to a domestic violence dispute in south central.....

while in SoCal, I worked with a law firm that represented lapd officers in the civil suits that were filed against them for violations of civil rights, etc......

a few officers, after a case that went well, presented me with the official lapd tshirt, with LAPD Block letter on the front, but with the added saying on the back "we treat you like a king"....

this was shortly after the rodney king beating/trial/la riots....

Cube and T obviously got their hands on similar "knock off" versions after the press found out about the existence of such shirts within the force:

[unde0087]

someone definitely fell asleep at the wheel on this one.

we repped the OC sherriff's dept and them too, and the anaheim police dept, in brutality cases....

my favorite case we had was the fbi had a guy holed up in a standoff inside a local trailer park....

the orange county local, hearing all the shit going down on the radio, rushes to the scene (after having just picked up his kid from school, who is then riding shotgun with him), powerslides into the trailer park and right into the standoff scene, kid still in tow, slides inbetween the feds and the trailer, jumps out, and without having communicated with anyone at the scene, launches a percussion grenade through a window into the trailer' he thinks is involved (he was wrong), and blows it to smithereens.....

damn, I loved that job....


you can probably still find press on it on line somewhere.....
