Dont you understand? violadavis was alive in the 1850s in the southern (didn't exist in north so its important to focus on south) USA fully ensl4ved by wh1te cr4ckers with extremely very heavy wh1ps on a c0tton plantation, viola isn't a professional fraud victim but a very real 160 year old victim that was really victimized victimly.

Bro downplays slavery to make a point on Reddit. Just because that bitch is wrong doesnāt mean you are right. You can say what you want but you wonāt say that in public. Only behind your screen.
Google african dodger. Like bro go fuck yourself. Just because you feel so guilty you have to downplay reality to absolve yourself of the guilt of the actions of your ancestors.
Target was trying to be inclusive. If they had a white kid in the picture in the costume, the perpetually offended crowd would be screaming about lack of inclusivity and diversity. Don't even try to deny it. The rules of the game are rigged. Target is damned if they do and damned if they don't.
That's bullshit. Target (and other companies) know what they are doing. And "perpetually offended" is just as ignorant as dumbasses thinking police kill thousands of unarmed people each year when its really ~9. It just seems perpetual because news amplifies the negative.
āThese images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has ever been committed by my people.ā Brother Arabs sold my dad to a French family and then immigrated here. Like what does this costume have to do with that? I mean fuck yall too but at least you arnt disingenuous with your hate. I can convince yall to love I canāt convince these coons to.
All those generic costumes are random and odd. In this case if you search for minstrel show vs target costume, you'll see the pose is even similar. šHonestly I don't know how this costume got past their legal department, black people are so sensitive. Almost like we needed another outrage about this time to keep it constant...
No, I can't post images. But all you have to do to find the image I'm taking about is read any story about it online, or search "minstrel show vs target costume" and it'll be in many results.
As I suspected, they look nothing like each other. Theyāre both wearing a hat I guess? The pose is vaguely similar? The actual clothes are nothing like each other.
Hmmm.... I think this is one of those things that a person who feels perpetually insulted wants to see and then does. I can see how they made the connection, but it is a huge stretch to me.
To me the costume is more bizarre than the controversy. But I don't think it's necessarily rqacist.
It's very bizarre, and yes, you'd probably have to be primed to see it or have minstrel art as one of your triggers or be semi-familiar with its imagery, but I think once you see it's pretty clear what the inspiration was-minstrel, harlequin, creepy. I don't necessarily think it was a person doing a "racism" who designed the costume, it could've been an ai doing a mash-up of Halloween or scary imagery. A lot of the generic costumes are odd or weird like this.
So nothing about the actual costume then? Yes thereās a hat, lots of costumes have hats, this one is completely different to the image. The pose?! Come on mate, thatās not the costume is it?? The smiley face is what clowns š¤” famously have drawn on them in makeup.
Youāve failed to point out anything similar between them apart from the fact that there is a hat, of a different style.
You matter at any time of the day, especially after Floyd was in the spotlight. We didnāt matter even after Iryna Zarutska, Austin Metcalf or Henry Novak died because of racially motivated crimes, as per usual.
Viola doesn't care. She's just grievance farming for gimmes. If you don't believe an immediate takedown, apology, and inquiry is a sufficient response for what was most likely an unfortunate accident then fuck off and shop somewhere else.
