H&M was destroyed by social media today as one of their hoodies was dressed on a young black boy with the words “Coolest Monkey In The Jungle.” This was obviously a racially insensitive slogan and H&M’s decision to move forward with selling this product was disgusting.
H&M seemed to have removed the product from their site following the backlash but was still available on their U.K. website. No model was pictured. After not removing the producing completely from all of its stores, Twitter continued to voice its outrage over the racist hoodie. Expect sales to plummet at H&M from this disaster as many of its buyers are young people that includes many black customers.
Flip the pages to see Twitter’s thoughts on the hoodie still being available for purchase.
