Quote from: Nick'Challa on March 29, 2018, 11:28:00 AMQuote from: herbie on March 29, 2018, 11:25:29 AMI think that companies will have to be a lot more mindful of what they're putting out. Like, actually forming some sort of Sensitivity Team to screen mess before it hits the TV. This company just wasted a bunch of money on an ad that no one wants to see.Even a Black owned company like Shea Moisture came under fire really hard - it was another instance where I felt it wasn't intentional but they definitely earned a lashing. I'm sure they learned from it.It's just not the time in America's history to just be releasing anything you'd like without really having someone to look at it from every possible angle. Because someone easily could wrap a "this is racist" mess around the commercial and it'd make perfect sense. White people are freakin' oblivious to a lot of things because they've never had to deal with it. I guarantee you that if a Black person was in charge of approving that ad we never would have seen it.Not a sensitivity team ... I just feel like everyone is a little too sensitive. It's beer. Most of us don't drink that brand anyway but "I'm offended" gorl

They're very skilled and have huge budgets and are under increasing pressure to raise the profile of their client's brand. "It's an ultra-competitive market and the retail space has never been as competitive as what it is now. They need to do something to get their voices seen and heard."Screengrab of H&M's website showing a child wearing the hoodie with 'coolest monkey in the jungle'on it
