Hey amazon, you will be in trouble for selling these. These are more BlackFace than what gucci was selling.

When you're the one GUCCI exec with a triple digit IQ and you see the new product line for the first time...

Impeach Gucci !!!

What about blacks wearing white-face?

Part of me thinks they did this on purpose in hope that rappers would boycott they're company and stop with all the Gucci references.

Twatface

Bizarre that this was even approved for sale even more bizarre is the absurd price tag of the sweater!

NBC trying to embarrass black folks with this fake outrage .

I’d never wear this because it’s not stylish at all but why is EVERY SINGLE THING about RACE? Soooo stupid! If a black or brown person wore a white one they’d never say “we are pulling it cause it’s white face” 🙄

Wow kinda reminds me of Tokyo ghoul but on a budget.

Kanye wants to where it.

Not only does it not resemble black face at all, more like half a mask, it’s also hideous.

I saw a stupid design I guess if you want to see racism you will and people's comments proved that

This is what happens when you refuse to hire people of color on your design team or throughout the company.

WTF

Why did they have to put the big red lips on it so you know it’s racist dead give away

😒🙄Sad ANYone even assumes this is 'fashion.'

They should stop it for that and just because damn!! That is ugly and stupid too.

Come on !!! Next ya know we will all have to go out I’m freezing cold without our thermal masks to protect our faces because they offend people well Muslims and their full body suits offend me.

There is no difference between wearing this or a ski mask is there something seriously wrong with people

Haute racism.

Why are you calling the black face but call what Northam did as “wearing dark makeup”

Why was this even made in the first place?

Who on earth would buy that? Wait a minute FLOTUS probably.

We are going tooooo far with that..... I didn’t see anything in that .... people are crazy ..

You really have to wonder who approves these designs ... are they just blinded by how they like their “creation” or, are they just plain dumb as it relates to anything real in society ... I say the latter ....jezzo ... gucci

The fact the people see this as offensive is absurd, half the face of the wearer is showing, and it’s white. People look for things to offend them, look to play victim, it simply can’t be anything else. I’m offended that there are simple minded f***s that are offended

PC at its finest!!

My first reaction when seeing this the other day was 'who the hell would wear that stupid thing?' followed by 'who the hell designed that, is there a big need for covering half of one's face?' and '$900? Oh, it's for the idiots in the world'. Not once did blackface cross my mind

VA Dems are crushed.

Is that the JoyBehar pic going around ? It is beautiful

This is beyond silly!

So stupid

Isn't Gucci also one of the companies that buys their cotton from the land that was stollen from the Weigers who (to this day) are enslaved by the Chinese...? *Maybe we should care more about the ACTUAL/EXISTENT issue, rather than a shirt that 'may' offend some people...!

🙄

The fact that gucci thought this was a good idea is simply mind boggling!

I wouldn’t pay .89 for that whatever it is..

Whoever thought this was remotely a good idea should be fired

Oh know anything but the black face. It’s so offensive to wear clothing that are the same skin color as people. Oh the humanity. Whatever shall we do as a society to fix this. Wah wah wah

Actually cutural extremism was used to block the sale of a facial recognition blocker. I'm guessing such things will be used in the future on any manner of device that interfieres with tracking or facial aquistion. Cheeks, nose, chin blocked no identity found. Low contrast.

CHANGE THE COLOR FROM BLACK TO ANY OTHER COLOR! There! Problem solved! (You can mail my check to me for consulting.)

Oh for God’s sake it’s a freakin piece of clothing. CHANGE THE COLOR!!! This nonsense has to stop.

Hey Gucci, anything for money. Taking notes from Trump?

Looks like a glory hole sweater. Freaks at Gucci

what about those designs they have of people dressed like skeleton or evil monsters are they gonna pull that too. This dont look racists but could be a interpretation

OMG when will this insanity stop? By your logic my darker makeup is racist so I guess you'll be next boycotting Lancome, Revlon........

It looks like Sock Monkey for your face...just sayin ... 😂

A sad moment for art & design.

All in the the eye of the beholder ..

On to the next stupid freak out from everyone about something that doesn’t matter.

Governor Northam ordered 2

Looking at the sweater design itself and the cost can tell you that it was never meant for sale.

Lol

Who would buy this ugly sweater, anyway? 🤨

Does it just look like it or is the world really going slowly insane... I am 100% Irish from Ireland Mayo and I could be complaining about people dressing up like Saint Patrick on St. Patrick's Day and drinking themselves blind like they say Irish do...

It looks like blackface, it’s ugly and almost 900 bucks -money can’t buy taste.

Put some stripes on it and add a hat then you have the Hamburglar - problem solved 😂

Everything about this from the sweater to the article is stupid as hell.

$890, and without the black face angle, you can look like a sock monkey! Industry-breaking Gucci, so innovative

What in the actual fuck

I don't care if it says Gucci... that thing is FUGLY!

Many burglars are unhappy.

Blackface scandal spotlights deeply embedded racism in USWhen Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam refused to resign last week, he did so in the shadow of a Capitol built by a founding father and a slave owner, in the former seat of the Confederacy still wrestling with what to do about statues that honor those who fought to preserve slavery. The 35-year-old photo on his yearbook page of a person in blackface and another person in a Ku Klux Klan robe has brought about a stunning reversal of fortune in Northam's political career and laid bare for the nation just how deeply racist behavior remains interwoven in American culture, institutions and politics. In rejecting calls to step down, the 59-year-old white son of Virginia came across to many African-Americans as displaying a sense of white privilege. emarvelous Notice that all those blackface are DemocRats emarvelous He’s a democrat and paid 2 million by planned parenthood.....seething with racism emarvelous If Ralph Northam wants the blackface/klan robe picture story to go away, all he needs to do is switch to the Republican party. Being racist is considered an asset to them. MondayMotivaton MondayMorning

Why Ralph Northam thinks he can wait out his blackface scandal (he's wrong)It's been more than 72 hours since a photo of two men -- one in blackface, the other in the white robes of the Ku Klux Klan -- on the medical school yearbook page of Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam went viral. In that time, virtually every major figure within the Democratic Party in Virginia and nationally (not to mention Republicans) has called for Northam to step aside. CillizzaCNN Blackface pales into insignificance , the real crime is infanticide. CillizzaCNN It's not just the black face, it's also the flat out refusal to shake a black mans hand on tv. Seriously it's true CillizzaCNN VA political leadership consists of a Racist and a Rapist. what a team!!!
