The children’s clothing company behind a racist monkey T-shirt display released a statement today calling the display a “total misunderstanding.” The company was criticized for hanging the monkey T-shirts on hangars featuring a black boy’s head. Other T-shirts displayed in the same line featured Caucasian children on the hangars.
The clothing company, Just Add A Kid, blamed the mixup on the store employees who assembled the floor display.
“We are looking into all the situations that occurred around this little incident,” company co-creator Lowell Cohen told the NY Daily News by phone. “We’re looking at the vendor, we’re speaking to our employees.”
The company said the pairing of the monkey shirt and the black boy’s head was “not authorized, condoned or tolerated” by the company.
The T-shirt line features cartoon drawings of an astronaut, a ballerina, a soldier, a princess, a mermaid, and an angel on the front of the shirts.
The company refused to identify the store location where the shirts were displayed.
Yea fukkin right bastids
Why Why Why
Accident my AZZ!!!
Why the little saltine baby couldn’t be a monkey to hmph

That should have been noted on the boxed. Please do not hang the monkey shirt on the black kid hanger. If you see this please correct immediately.

At one of their birthday parties the hubby’s family member bought them a shirt with monkeys on them. He was like 
WE DON’T DO MONKEYS IN THIS HOUSE. So later one of the guests saw the shirt and picked it up and was like how cute! Everybody was like 
She said I always buy monkey stuff for my kids and we call them our little monkeys. She is white and her husband is black. We hate her. He does too 
Not because she is white but because she is sloppy and fat and a bad parent. If you are going to go white do it right bruh.
Yeaaaaa uhhhh I don’t really like that nickanme so…. we bout to dip

Yea I have an aversion to the monkey theme and nickname BUT my sister and a few other people think it’s cute and have bought baby clothes and stuff with monkeys on them for the kids
It got real quiet and he was like
They got the hail on real quick
Wendy Williams sat down for an interview with ABC recently and addressed long time insults regarding her gender. “People do think I was born a man, that is absolutely not [true]. I get it. I’ve got a strong face, a strong body, I’m 5’11”. I wear wigs. I get it.” The Queen of Talk went on to say that the comments no longer affect her. Do I get upset with it? No. I get where that comes from, but in my opinion, there’s no worse way to insult a woman than to say she looks like a man, but once a woman gets over that, there is no stronger woman…there’s nothing you can call me at this particular point. I’ve been dealing with this for decades.”
well at least she didnt have a daughter. gotta thank her and Sherri Shepard for not passing on them flicked ass genes.
What are the odds?

The odds that they would recognize it as a problem are nil imo. Racism is dead. I bet soon as I see this on another site, yts will be like Black ppl always pull the race card
A few people have said DAN needs to issue a public apology too.

My dearest King Lebron James,
I am humbly sorry. Please turn around so I can kiss all over your azz for disrespecting you. I have lost so much money without you here and would welcome you back with open arms. Whatever you need, I can get for you (houses, cars, bishes, pets, yachts, etc.) nothing is too big or two small. Please come back. I beg of you. Obviously we won’t ever win chit without you and I knew at the time I wrote that letter we wouldn’t, but I was hurt. And as they say Hurt people Hurt People. Please forgive me.

Yep. I have seen moneky things are popular like “owls”.
We don’t own any monkey clothing tho. And I try not to call my daugh Monkey in front of ppl cause she gets embarrassed. When she was small she was super bowlegged and when you picked her up she would hang and wrap around you like..a monkey.
Turning 14 this year. Guess I will retire that one. 
My Toys R Us hates to see me coming
My momma said they hated her too. I didn’t get a Pretty crimp and Curl cause they sent 15 Black ones the Christmas of nineteen hundred and ninety. She called corporate and went HAM. I got it like 3 weeks after and for free 
I did the same on this generic fireman and police man toy! WHERE IS THE BLACK ONE ?!?! Dude was like um ma’am 
we had a few.. what’s a few? 10!! That ain’t enough call someone and order it NOW!! I’ll be back Tuesday!!
and the last monkey to have hung a onesie will be the first monkey to be fired, publicly

@dats that’s what I’m saying just stop spending money with these folks and hit them where it hurts the pockets.
We don’t need to do nothing but hold onto OUR coins and patronize OUR own chit.
15 Black ones

This is what I try to explain to white ppl..always in vain. They don’t understand how not seeing your likeness affects you.
Cause they always see themselves.
They can assume that a book character looks exactly like them if not given a description. And even when given a description they default to “white” features. #privilegepersonified
Please don’t get me started. Let me stew on Lebron ole house slave ass.
You the 99% is why.
She said some of the fund holders and grant applicants have been complaining about poor service. I am in neither department so *fluffs hair* BUT still RECORDING PHONE CALLS LIKE WE IN A CALL CENTER???? I asked her what’s next the email and inner webs?? She was like 
They hired a new IT Director I guess he is trying to be CAPTAIN SAVE A HOE

*crosses arms* NERP I don’t want to be great. I am about to go :wails: LTOSR
The IT lady just tipped me off that our company is looking into phone recording software
@user

This might be a company wide issue. There’s one down the street from me that I only go to when someone is registered there (I don’t have kids yet). EVERY time I go in there, it’s a problem. They look at me, don’t speak and keep going; look past me to the non-colored folk around me and ask them if they need help; or the manager is harassing me about what’s in my purse and bag AFTER he just watched me check out at the register. Think I’ll have to keep my money from now on.
