Gucci is now apologizing for selling a sweater that is being accused of looking like blackface. That’s right, another ‘blackface’ story.
Here’s a second photo of the ‘blackface’ sweater:
Forget about blackface for a second. Why would anyone want to wear something this ugly? What were these designers thinking when they made this? It just looks ridiculous.
Gucci was hit hard on social media when people found this selling on their website, and Gucci has since apologized:
Gucci deeply apologizes for the offense caused by the wool balaclava jumper.
We consider diversity to be a fundamental value to be fully upheld, respected, and at the forefront of every decision we make.

I’m not gonna lie, I just find this hysterical. The only thing that would make this even better is if Gucci was headquartered in Virginia and had some connection to Northam.
That would be lit!
