H&M Outrage

H&M Outrage

Recently someone uploaded a picture of an African American boy modeling a sweater that says “Coolest Monkey In The Jungle.”

It went viral because of people stating it was racism and action should be taken. H&M apologized saying how this was not their motive whatsoever. They had an 80% sale off at their stores because of it. The mom of the boy said it was no big deal and to get over it. But many were still outraged so they went to local H&M stores and destroyed them, making an absolute mess. Then others explained how this was not necessary because it wasn’t the employers fault. Because of this H&M temporarily closed their stores, leaving many out of a job that was not their fault.
