Converse just removed two ads that have consumers feel have hidden symbolism of lynching. Between the stock dropping, Mbappe leaving and these not so well thought out ads, Nike might have rough times ahead.

The ad is terrible. Whomever was responsible for it should be fired immediately.
@cq more like unauthrticste outrage from racist maggats trying to raise sh-t to keep others divided
The ad was cool and anyone who thinks it had racist imagery is not being authentic. Converse has no history of racism for the context of the ad to be read in that way regardless of imagery.
Come on man...why people even connect those images to K-K, this is wild. It's like to a man with hammer, everything looks like a nail. Those people will ruin this country.
Mo--ns....
