Mother Of H&M Hoodie Model Responds To Backlash, Tells Us To 'Get Over It'
Mama's not big mad at all.

- Born in Nairobi, Kenya but currently residing in Stockholm, Sweden, Terry says she saw nothing wrong with the 'coolest Monkey in the Jungle' message
- She defended a clothing line company, H&M which had her son, the only black child among the models wear the top
Black Twitter was definitely big mad about it happening in the first place, but the young model's own mother? Not so much, according to TOKO. It seems that the young boy's mother, Terry Mango, took to social media to show that she believed all of the commotion over the picture was an "unnecessary issue."
"Am the mum and this is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modeled ... stop crying wolf all the time, unnecessary issue here ... get over it," Mango wrote on Facebook.

Mango also assured those asking, "Where were that boy's parents?" that she had been to "all photoshoots."
Responding to someone who was disappointed in her response, she wrote, "I really don't understand but not coz am not choosing not to, but because it's not my way of thinking, sorry."
With this being said, Mango also wrote that she ultimately believes that "everyone is entitled to their opinion about this."
The backlash to the photo was swift, with several celebrities denouncing the brand for its choice to place the boy in the hoodie. Rapper G-Eazy became the latest start to break ties with the brand today, the Associated Press reports.
For its part, H&M has apologized, and promised to conduct an investigation into the matter.

I didn?t expect anything less and hopefully Diddy puts the money in an account for the boy that only he can touch and he can?t access it until the age of 18

:jackiessales: now if the MOM said get over it and niggers are still going on its for their own selfish shit.
like that nigga that literally freestyled to a H&M bag like it was a cypher battle
a coon
It's understandable because she's from Africa.
A lot of them don't really have that built-in radar for this type of mess like Black Americans do.
I'd be more confused if she were born here.

and that's where I am with it
it's not saying get over it to AA's IMO, but it's basically what she said about crying wolf all the damn times
there are serious issues, blacks getting killed, business loans getting LEGALLY denied because of skin color, gentrification is STILL happening
.... yet I'm reading "shocked! appalled! mah soul is un-anchored JESUS!" type tweets over a gotdamn sweater for 5 year olds
:plea:
I was ready to read this woman to smithereens, but I do see her point. And if she's his mother then, gotta go with her
not saying someone on the production team didn't set it up as a ki, but she saying she approved it
so as a consumer, say your peace, launch an investigation, and effect a change
but this FALL OWT all the damn time is so tiring... we look so defenseless and picked on now days, it's bad enough we're target practice
I for one, am not defenseless and not easily offended by these fckn white pricks walking around every day, but guess what, do what you wanna do, I'm right here by yo white ass and I'm not fckn moving, get with me or get owt
so when I see blk ppl .... "ohh wah wah wah ... Dove doesn't have soap for rough skin! omg!". It's fckn annoying because I know they're black ass isn't going to fight against the grain and create their OWN, they're gonna complain, take a screenshot, post about it, then punch to the checkout with DOVE's mess! it's absolutely infuriating when an apathetic group of ppl try to act concerned but make no concerted effort for change expect running their damn mouths and punching keys all the damn time
hell ... if yawl so fed up with America, stop support all white companies, stuff yourself into some FUBU 7 days a week, and for the love of God shut the hell up crying all the damn time :dead:
