Let’s face it, who doesn’t or who hasn’t wanted something that has
that world recognized GUCCI monogram on it? Folks with plenty of money who can afford all their
stuff, working folks who treat themselves once a year with at least one item of their
merchandise and those of us who know we can’t afford it, but we make some kind of a sacrifice to get
our hands on a small piece from one of the BIGGEST designers in the world!
That said it’s understandable that the First look at their newest
known creation of the “BLACKFACE' SWEATER” may seem like nothing to
some, but to a lot of people especially people of color it brought up emotions that a tremendous amount
of time is spent on trying to believe that you don’t have to revisit. Certainly not over an UGLY SWEATER, feelings that start
with, but absolutely don’t end with
“OFFENDED, DISRESPECTED, APPALLED, DISBELIEF, BETRAYED, LET DOWN, DISAPPOINTING & DOWN RIGHT ANGRY!!!
Many of us wanted to take the items we’ve purchased from these
folks and throw them in the trash! Then, reality set in and you remembered how much money was spent on them so that’s a NO!!!!!
So, you ask yourself, have these people at GUCCI along with the designers that proceeded them in their blatant display of racism, have
they been given a secret pass to disrespect and degrade people of color? And if this is the case,
why weren’t they also given a secret devise that sounds an alarm telling them NOT to take the “GREEN
MONEY” from these people since they are so bent on making a mockery of any race? Why accept any MONEY from people who clearly
are not respected by their organization?
After all, they are GUCCI an iconic, powerful, influential designer looked
up to and envied by millions who doesn’t need the money of, or the
support of these people they clearly don’t think have any impact on the promotion
of their products RIGHT???

Is their intent really to offend much of the population that makes them who they are???? They got lots of reviews, from people from
all walks of life, expressing their hurt feelings over such an outward display
of insensitivity clearly, to make money at the expense of an entire race of
people. REALLY!!! It’s sad that we are just 11 days into the 28 day, “Black History Month” and we have a top actor Liam Neesom publicly allow the effects of hatred to spew from his lips THEN, we have GUCCI displaying the same hatred visually by creating what may very well be
the DOG GONE, UGLIEST
SWEATER in the history of SWEATERS!

What a month! And its not even over yet!
APOLOGY of course we get one! In fact, some of the
same people in the GUCCI camp that approved this UGLY design probably went
back to the round table and encourage public apologies for making such an insensitive design.
After all, not only have they read the reviews they feel the effects of their actions because
the reviews and the consensus is screaming at them. Of
course, they realize, that there are so many that showed their non-support for
the sale of this UGLY SWEATER and probably any other GUCCI products, huh, wouldn’t you apologize? They said do it, SWIFTLY because the law of gravity works FASTER when money is FALLING!!
Should we accept their apology? First reaction, HECK NO! Really GUCCI? making the sweater was a truly DUMB move but are they
serious, do they not know that we’re not so dumb that we don’t know that if they don’t apologize, not only will
they NOT sell that UGLY SWEATER, but there aren’t enough people working for the GUCCI organization to wear ALL the items bearing their name across the world!!!

Can they spell BANKRUPTCY…. Over an UGLY SWEATER???
SMOKE CLEARS although this was an absolutely, crazy move, we
must remember that many eyes saw this design before it hit the public. Somebody came up with it
but more importantly SOMEBODY approved it and gave the go ahead for it to be
mass produced SO, it’s a definite that there are some people high up the ranks in
this organization that should be looking for new jobs!
More importantly though, we must remember that the designers of this UGLY garment are simply HUMANS and their making such an UGLY GESTURE only exposed their
imperfection. Mistakes are made by everyone who
puts their pants on one leg at a time and it’s to our advantage to view them as
such.
There has been enough time spent on realizing the negative about
this and did we say this was an UGLY SWEATER??...We say, we’ve given GUCCI enough of our time trying to figure out why?
After all, there’s only one word that describes RACISM no matter what color you
are, no matter what language you speak. GUCCI knows what it is, their sweater bears it, it’s just
UGLY!!!!!!!!
