Blackface and racism, this time is a Gucci’s sweater to be accused"},"content":{"rendered":"

After the Prada<\/strong> affair<\/a>, recently accused of a keyring that had a strange resemblance to the blackface, Gucci<\/strong> is now in an equivalent position.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

The object of the crime<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

In this case the object of the crime is a turtleneck sweater<\/strong> to suffer a negative reaction on social media, because of its resemblance to the racist and denigrating blackface images<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The sweater itself, described as a “revisited balaclava”<\/em>, is made of tight black mesh, which extends over the lower part of the face where it has a cut around the mouth and a red “lip” detail<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And actually, but above all objectively, the aforementioned sweater is just a simple mix between a balaclava and a turtleneck sweater, just made more feminine<\/strong> by the red outline of the lips. And to be honest if we really want to see a hidden meaning, I would see a lot more erotic, than a racist appeal. In any case there’s nothing so scandalous or offensive behind, so dear women too, DON’T YOU DARE seriously, do not even think about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

<\/h2>\n

Power to the people<\/h2>\n

As we well understood, nowadays, the ignorance of the internet people reigns supreme<\/strong>, so Gucci has found himself forced to withdraw the product from the sale<\/strong> followed by an official statement on his Twitter<\/a> profile:<\/p>\n

“Gucci deeply apologizes for the offense caused by the wool sweater, we consider diversity as a fundamental value to be fully supported and respected at the forefront of every decision we make.We are fully committed to increasing diversity throughout our organization and turn this incident into a powerful learning moment for the entire Gucci team. “<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/h2>\n

Here we go again.<\/h2>\n

When will you learn that accusing racism so randomly does not elevate you to better people, but simply puts you on the same level as the racist? Looking forward to.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
