People were aaaaall wound up about an H&M ad that showed a little black boy wearing a sweatshirt that said “coolest monkey in the jungle.”
I mentioned that I SINCERELY doubted this had anything to do with race. Many parents will endearingly call their toddlers “little monkeys.” Toddlers are stubborn, wild little things that like to climb all over everything – it’s a fitting nickname.
So the only thing I saw as problematic is that no one at H&M realized the SJWs in America would lose their freaking MINDS over the ad. Surely their marketing team should have realized how sensitive American liberals are.
I mean… Lebron James acted like this was the end of the WORLD… And rapper “the Weeknd” decided he would no longer work with H&M – which he had a fashion line with.
Anyway… they thought THAT was bad… well, they ain’t seen nothing yet.
This is a real shirt, that up until recently was for sale on Amazon:



“Slavery gets sh*t done.”
Oh no…
See? I bet those SJWs wish they would have saved their t-shirt outrage energy for this one.
JK. They have plenty of outrage energy for everything. They’re like OUTRAGE Duracell Bunnies.
Amazon came under fire earlier this week for allowing a racist shirt to be sold by a third-party vendor on its website.
The shirts, which read ‘Slavery Gets S*** done,’ were yanked from the site, and the vendor, Styleart, banned, according to a company statement released Wednesday.
Here’s where I am forced to remind you that members of all races have been slaves throughout human history… and it’s all bad.
Anyway, the shirt has been pulled…
‘All Marketplace sellers must follow our selling guidelines and those who don’t will be subject to action including potential removal of their account,’ an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement, according to People.
‘The products in question are no longer available.’
The seller offered a line of adult and baby clothing, mugs, baby bibs and tote bags emblazoned with the racist phrase.
And to ride the message home – behind the saying is a photo of pyramids.
Many of the products were modeled by infants and young children, all of whom were white.
Listen… there’s not being a snowflake, and then there’s putting a t-shirt on your child that you KNOW will work people up… and honestly isn’t funny. It’s stupid. I think this is stupid.
I’m not offended, because honestly… I don’t really get offended by inanimate objects. But yeah… ridiculous. Just…why?
And of coooourse the babies are all white, since white people are automatically slave owners and support the institution of slavery, right?
I mean… that’s what I’m told.
Amazon announced it was removing the vendor after outraged customers threatened to cancel their subscriptions to the popular website
‘What in the hell is this? Slavery gets s*** done?? Guess I’m cancelling my Amazon Prime subscription now. Damn it all to hell!!’ one customer tweeted Monday.
This person knows that Amazon has thousands and THOUSANDS of vendors, right?
‘If one thing is going to banjax @amazon it’s their lack of curation; it’s a huge free-for-all. At the best the Fire stick has one bazillion pony punter apps, and at worst they sell t-shirts like this. Eurgh,’ another Twitter user wrote, with a photo of one of the t-shirts attached.
Anti-slavery organizations and charities also lashed out at Amazon and denounced the racist designs.
‘If it’s meant to be funny, it fails miserably,’ Jakub Sobik of Anti-Slavery International told Reuters.
Yeah… it’s really just kinda dumb and unnecessary.
And David Westlake, chief executive of International Justice Mission UK added that the shirts were particularly offensive because children in third world countries probably had to make them under severe conditions.
‘Children the same age as those modeling the T-shirts will be forced to work long hours for no pay in desperate conditions where starvation, beatings and sleep deprevation are common,’ he said.
I usually roll my eyes at OUTRAGE statements about something as meaningless as a t-shirt… but yes. This is sad. Tiny babies are indeed sold into slavery in other parts of the world… and it’s horrifying to think about.
