The Kooples co-founder Laurent Elicha, 43, and his wife, Noemi, 33, and their two children dressed up as African tribe members to celebrate Purim
Elicha's wife Noemi posted photos and videos of the family dressed up at a party
The images were seen on Noemi's Instagram account, which has 26,000 fans
Some who saw the controversial images accused the family of 'blackface'
The images have since been removed from social media and Noemi apologised

I swear people are doing this shit on purpose at this point. There's no excuse not to know this shit is offensive.
Don't people realize that by complaining about these types of things, it only gives them more exposure?

So people shouldn't complain about racism because it brings more attention to the matter?
Think carefully about your answer hun'.

They were called out for their racist behaviour, they're not being given the Nobel peace prize :unsure:
But Tbh you're not black so you're not speaking from a black perspective or experience. You're not the at brunt of the mess or the one being insulted here, so you're definitely not about to tell me, or even pick out which facets of racism I or anyone should be focusing on...but then again I don't expect someone like yourself with your mental limitations to understand, and that's no shade.
I'm on the Kooples website rn. I wouldn't have been had I not seen this. Their plan worked..
Congratulations on being a dumb bitch?
The outrage over this will drive traffic. It's not even offensive blackface so what are you upset over?

I'm Black, that's all I need to be to understand racism.
The irony of it all, you thinking it's a nationalistic issue rather a race one, when your a proud American and still don't know diddly squat!
I don't need to American or live in America to be offended by racism or understand the "true definition" of racism..as if black people only live in America. :uhh:
Pick up a book or turn on the news redneck, there's over 40 countries where black people live in and still face daily racism especially in the Western world.
Racism isn't some exclusive American national phenomenon where it stops at the jersey shores and it's all rainbows and unicorns for black people
everywhere else.
Even countries IN Africa like S.A where blacks are in the majority but still face racism and effects from apartheid from the white rich minority :dead:
Are you actually fucking serious right now :uhh:
I just read that again and omg :plzstop:
And the owners of Kooples aren't even American, they're French.
So there goes that stupid ass theory :dead:

Period.
Why am I even going back and forth with this stupid bitch
Black face is really only seems as offensive in America. I do not think that they intended for this to be offensive. There are many people who are not aware of how things go in The USA or how deep the wound of racism is and ignore many things that are insensitive. I have been many places around the world and I have watch black people laugh with non-blacks dressed in Black Face. Go to any Carnival in South America and you will see it.
Bow really showed her WHITE ass in here huh?

only non black people say that shit because no shade, but African Americans have way more of a voice than blacks in other countries where' they're the minority.
Its always non blacks speaking about how racism is perceived in their countries, but I notice the black people from those countries feel the same way as American Blacks they just don't voice it.
