Its kinda crazy that if the kid was white, nobody would have cared. Im pretty sure they didn't make a racist shirt. Just bad photo shoot management

Why you gotta add in anger? Anger isn't a requirement for derision. And I've definitely heard that used derogatorily though tend to avoid those types. It's also a matter which is more commonly used.

I added "in anger" because I meant I haven't heard it used as a slur from a non-black person to a black person. That's besides the point though, the point is that your experience is not everyone's experience. It was only a few years ago we had members of congress circulating pictures of the president as a monkey, ffs.

The kids parents had to sign off on the kid being part of the photoshoot, and they had no problem with it. Probably because $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Actually, neither the parents nor the kid probably ever saw the shirt. They just licensed their kid for product modeling and then the company shops on w/e clothes they want to advertise. Shit, H&M a few years back wasn't even using real people in their ads.

High Street fashion chain H&M has admitted the swimwear models featured in its latest online catalogue are not real. ‘We take pictures of the clothes on a doll that stands in the shop, and then create the human appearance with a program on [a] computer . . . The message is clear: buy our clothes, not our models.’

Be sure to tell all those trafficked child sex slaves that it was ok because their parents had no problem with this since they sold them off for $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

How you go from a photograph being equivalent to a trafficked sex slave?

His point was that parents accepting money for something doesn't somehow make everything OK

That's the way examples work. You amp things up to the extreme so you can evaluate things based on the principle in play ("it's okay because the parents got compensated enough to consent") instead of hiding behind "Well it wasn't a big deal all things considered."

There's a reason the trolley problem is about people being run over, and not people getting their toes stubbed.

People are mad at Roseanne (a liberal democrat in real life) because her character in the Roseanne show revival is a conservative Trump supporter. Roseanne has defended the decision saying the show has always been about a working class American family and it's struggles, and it would make sense for her character to be a Trump supporter.
