This innocent sweater/scarf combo has caused a minor uproar.
The thing is that it seems some like Spike Lee don't don't even necessarily feel it was intentional, but the designers shouldn't have been ****** enough to get the design and NOT see how it would be offensive to some for invoking images of black caricatures and black face.
A few ********s get caught wearing blackface and 75% of the lounge goes into an uproar.....Gucci evokes these blackface cartoon images, and the same 75% is like....what's the problem?

Their big fashion twist was to put lipstick to theirs. Except in today’s world; where people see racism in everything, it got the snowflakes all up in arms and threats of boycotts.

In certain it wasn’t a racist intent. Gucci is collaborating with Dappler Dan and made it first release last year. They are even collabing with dapper dan with the reopening dapper dans studio...in HARLEM.
