Look at this disrespectful shit! H&M is out of pocket! Safari add campaign black Kid is the...

I don’t shop at this cheap ass store as im not in their demo but if you’re kids spend your money there you need to cut that shit off immediately. This shit is so blatant.

 
It may be how they feel.........but its not intentional. Someone simply fucked up by showing their true colors. HM knows this shit ain't get for their brand. I will never understand how shit like this happens....next step is to take it off their site because of the backlash.....

They already did and are copping pleas. This shit is super intentional and more than one person had to sign off on it.

I mean I can't argue if its intentional or not....I don't think it ever is....I just think its incompetence and no self awareness. IMO, if you were a cac...you should have a team of minorities or black people in your camp to tell you that this shit ain't a good look.

But why do you think they do it? Why would they do this just to take it off their site lol? What's the point? You hurt your brand....black people are apart of their fanbase...

I agree the lack of self awareness is telling but an international brand should have more awareness. Even a team of blacks means nothing bc those black may be more worried about keeping their corporate job than calling out fuckery.

It’s 2018; any business school case study and social ethics training discusses issues regarding race and the impact to the bottom line. This shit is inexcusable.

To that end; name me the last time a company did some shit that was blatantly offensive to Jews? They know not to fuck around and do ANYTHING that could be perceived anti-Semitic; but they drop some bullshit like this and it’s just a lack of awareness? I can’t buy that fam.

That's a good point...I think though when it comes to Jews....they know they have to walk that line. They would fuck their money and brand up. I don't think they have that same fear of other demographics which is why shit like this slips. That's just my theory on it. It very well could be intentional.

This shit is so dumb that I have to believe it may be intentional. These stories happen all the time.....and not one person though to say "Uhh.....we are fucking our money up....".

I'll never understand it.
 
It's clear that H&M either has no black people in its advertising division or not enough. I can see one black employee shaking his head and still collecting a check but two or three of us on staff....at least one of us is emailing H.R. before this shit hits the printer.
 
Thats the dangerous thing about modeling. Once you sign those release forms they can do anything with the image
 
This seems to be their new marketing strategy, it's not like their clothes are marketed to minorities

Fuck are you talking about ! I shop at H & M all the damn time (and Zara). H & M store are in the black communities, at least here in New York. There is a big H & M store in Kings plaza mall, and they sure as hell have black people working and shopping there. How are they not marketed to minorities when when have many black models.
 
So is there not one black person on the team that decides what runs and what doesn't? Seriously?
