Seriously!!! In 2020, I guess I shouldn't be surprised that capitalism is doing it's job and taking advantage of marginalized communities and specifically black pain. Now brands are taking advantage of us reposting and talking about their foolishness and disrespect. This is what we call outrage marketing and we must be cautious. Several brands have done and I will not mention the one who is guilty of the latest offense but I will say it is a repeat offender. Past brands that tried it are #gucci #prada #burberry #hm #outragemarketing #moncler #LeaveThemAloneAndBuyBlack #blackhistory #buyblack #mindovermelanin #blackhistory365 #sambo #jimcrow #racism
