Major Retailer Called Racist for Promoting a Black Child in ‘Monkey’ Hoodie
You would think that in 2017, major companies would be sensitive to avoid anything that might appear even remotely racist.
Apparently not.

H&M stores are now under fire after featuring a hoodie on their website modeled by a black child. The problem is with the wording on the hoodie: “Coolest Monkey in the Jungle.” An image of the listing, including a picture of the child model, is included below.

As you might expect, the outrage was quick and fierce.

You'd think that by 2018, people of color wouldn't continue to be so racist and snowflakey.

What? A black child isn't allowed to enjoy monkeys or be the coolest one in the jungle? Only white kids can do that?

Get over yourselves, seriously.
To know where your heart is, look where your mind goes when it wanders.

A rock in bad hands killed Abel. A rock in good hands killed Goliath. It isn't about the rock.

A true warrior fights not because he hates the one in front of him, but because he loves those behind him.

The only racist thing here is that some people seem to think blacks and monkeys are similar enough that simply having a black child in a "Monkey" hoodie is equivalent to calling that child a monkey.

Maybe if the shirt said "coolest monkey on the porch!" I could see their point of view. But it doesn't, and I don't.
