Katy Perry Forced To Apologize For ‘Blackface’ Shoes
« on: February 13, 2019, 08:57:13 am »
1st Gucci ( http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,350802.0.html )  now Katy Perry.  When will it end?



Singer Katy Perry apologized and removed her shoe collection from both Walmart’s and Dillards’ websites amid backlash that it resembled “blackface.” Perry famously stumped for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.




Perry issued this statement on Tuesday: “I was saddened when it was brought to my attention that it was being compared to painful images reminiscent of blackface. Our intention was never to inflict any pain. We have immediately removed them.”

Wonder how relevent these shoes would be if the designer didn't have "DD" sized breasts.

Isn't wearing  "Corn rows" today considered cultural appropriation?

Just offer them in green. Everyone loves green. It's very ecological.

I find it interesting that so many actresses, singers and female sports figures fancy themselves fashion designers.

Bewildering is the number of people buying the products also thinking them fashion designers.

I'm convinced people would buy bottled goat piss with the foam farted off if a Kardashian was marketing it.
