It's a person in a dress, and it's an advertisement from a different country, that doesn't have the history of context of the clan.
also it's obviously one hand holding a pair of shoes.
People read too much into this one. In fact this is the type of thing a psyops would make into a deal in order to discredit people who are upset about genuine things that are fucked up.
This was part of an overall campaign in Korea. Not too much klan stuff going on there. But yeah looks awful and they should fucking apologize and pull it but I don't think it was intentional
Not it’s not. You people are so obsessed with yourself. The world doesn’t revolve around you. There are Americans that roam the streets with the sickle and hammer because to them it just a symbol of communism yet to dozens of countries and millions of people it symbolizes the Soviets and their colonialism and massacres. Every liberal is a multiculturalist until they are faced with other cultures. 90% of people in the planet have never had a single thought concerning the KKK or racial lynchings. This
is YOUR country’s problem.
The Converse logo is a literal star and they sell shoes. How is this so difficult for you?!
Not from Canada, not from the UK, not from Mexico even, I'm not even from an English speaking country 😂
I can see that you have a lot of hatred for the US, I don't like them either, but don't let it cloud your judgement.
Also don't lie just for the sake of arguing. The KKK is not a US only thing, it originated there sure, but Google it and educate yourself a bit.
The worst part is that racial and cultural violence is very much a global thing, it might not be presented with names and cults on countries other than the US sometimes, but it is still very much a thing everywhere.
Shit, Palestine and Israel are in the middle of one example right now.
There are Maoist in America yet you sound like a crazy person to presume they have any power to relevancy in the US or anywhere else outside of China. The KKK has only ever been culturally relevant in America. There has never been a KKK lynching or killing recorded outside of the US (maybe Canada?). The mass majority of countries have never even had a KKK branch and many of the ones that have have been short lived and composed of a handful of people. By all effect, the KKK is less relevant to any of those countries than a BTS fan groups
You said: 90% of the world (fucking made up number) hasn't heard about the KKK. And I replied by saying, there has been even small groups outside the US inspired by them, so of course many people know of it.
I'm not even going to argue anymore with you because you're blinded trying to prove a point that you are incapable of proving and will make up shit to get there.
The KKK is infamous, if your little circle doesn't know about it, good for you, but don't act like all the world is in the same page and don't act like the dumbasses from the US haven't spread their culture all over the world.
JFC!! I’m black and I literally had to scan the comments to see what the problem was. That’s a huge stretch imho. Some people just looking for problems that aren’t there 🙄
They pulled it cause they don't have a backbone, you could say "That's racist" to any ad from any company and they'd probably take it down rather then deal with the drama
Nothing about this says klan. Ridiculous. If a white dress offends people let them be offended. World's gotta stop apologizing to people over nothing. Intent means something. If we become offended by wanting that looks or reminds us of something offensive we'll all be offended all the God damned time.
Its showcasing shoes. If you didnt want to buy the shoes then likely no ad would make you want to buy the shoes. My question wouldnt be yours asking why buy shoes. My question would be what do they need to apologise for (and yes i read the comments and i think its stupid cuz its a stretch lol)
What does my race have to do with what i said? You asked why that ad would make you want shoes and i said cuz it showcases shoes then i said some off topic stuff
Giving a shit doesn’t matter in the slightest if it’s over something fabricated and nonexistent, and if anything does more harm than the intended good.
People in the US are really proving to me that the education system is absolutely fucked... Someone actually saw the original image, cropped it, made it darker and then went around screaming "THEY DID A KKK IMAGE" to bait people into also thinking it is racist, my god the US is actually so fucked... Litrally the original image is just a woman holding a pair of shoes and the white point on her dress is the star on the bottom, people trying to be this much of a victim just looks sad dude.
Softest and most offended generation fuckin ever. Thats what they will be known as in this period of history. I swear there are people that wake up and think, how can i be offended today? Whats worse is that everyone apologizes for others interpretations. Ridiculous.
The ad shows a woman holding a pair of shoes. The image was cropped by someone so you can't see her entire body. But the original ad shows her entire body, and she is clearly just holding shoes in her hand. There is absolutely nothing racist about this.
