its crazy that they are trying to claim the noose is a racist symbol, when it's been in use since before the slave trade, and is probably responsible for far more white deaths than black. desu its more closely related to the black executioners hood than the white klu klux klans hood

Historically the obvious associations with the noose and lynchings are, well, obvious. Belittling that association doesn't change the fact it still exists.

>> No.14115826

>>14115813
black people will see a noose and think of lynchings, pretty much everyone else will think of suicide
deciding which one is correct depends on which group you fit into

>> No.14115850

I think it's fucking stupid. They made the drawstrings into a noose because it's edgy and associated with death.

They even put it on a White model in order to make sure it wasn't associated with racist lynchings (as opposed to regular lynchings) and that still didn't work because people are fucking stupid.

Every time one of these cuck fashion companies apologizes for the most innocuous shit like this I feel I am much less likely to buy their products. Get woke go broke.

The noose had been used for hanging white Europeans for hundreds of years, much longer than for lynchings of those poor victimized blacks.

They put it on a White model. The fuck are you talking about? Hoodies are worn by everyone. Every race ties nooses when they hand themselves. More Whites were lynched throughout history than Blacks.

>> No.14115958

>>14115936
The reality of the situation is nooses have a specific history that is used in the west and the symbol of hoodie + noose even on a white model is meant to illict response.

This is due to the fact that just a wee or so ago the blackface sweater.

This happens every fashion season, use people's trauma to get a response and it's tacky. This has nothing to do with fashion trends and you're just being an intellectually dishonest dumbass.

Oh you mean the history of most people being hung with nooses being White? Shit, even a lot of race-based lynchings were of Italians back in the day.

>the symbol of hoodie + noose even on a white model is meant to illict response.

It's an edgy allusion to suicide, not racist lynchings. Hoodies are worn by everyone.

>This is due to the fact that just a wee or so ago the blackface sweater.

Wasn't blackface at all.

>This happens every fashion season, use people's trauma to get a response and it's tacky

No. Every fashion season idiots like you find something to be triggered about, like an all-white shoe being released for Black history month (because apprarently Black people can't wear white shoes or something, lol).

>This has nothing to do with fashion trends and you're just being an intellectually dishonest dumbass.

I think you're just downright stupid. You have to be in order to become such a whiny little bitch over something like this. You have zero arguments for why this is actually some big racist conspiracy. Yeah, I'm sure the designer totally wanted to stir outrage so they could cause controversy and lose money for the brand. I bet you think the whole "coolest monkey in the jungle" H&M advertisement was intentional too. They totally wanted to have people smash up their stores and cause thousands of dollars in damages on top of the PR backlashes. Sure thing, retard.

>> No.14115989

>>14115958
>In the west.

You mean "In America" which is entirely irrelevant to a European brand being modelled in a European show by a presumably European model.

99% of non-American Westerners do not associate nooses with black lynching. That is a fact.

All these labels are trying to distance themselves from the clown rapper fashion or w/e they call it.
They've stated as much in the past, but nobody can take a hint. Now they use blatant racist tropes, and materialistic monkeys still won't get it.

What would you do to prevent your label's image and prestige from being destroyed?

It's because of social media, literally everything that can ever cross someones mind can make it into a tweet. It's an accelerant, the more it gets re-hashed or tweeted the more pressure comes to do something about it. WHen in reality, it is just someone's passing thought, also factor in how much publicity it gets the tweeter and the tweetee, and that is valuable, whether it's good or bad press, it's always good. It's literally just modern marketing.

Do Americans actually think only of whites lynching blacks when they see nooses and not a history of execution and suicide? Kind of funny.
