1. The shop put out a dumb advert, retracted it, then apologized (and yes, people are this oblivious)
2. This action stupid ad to a rapist doesn’t work, because the shop did no violence, nor did it infringe upon people’s rights
3. None violence is always the 1st option.
@LopSpartan @Samantha_Gcwabe @MmusiMaimane What's more annoying here is having to explain to an adult why the advert is wrong.
Letting Clicks off the hook because it employs thousands of black people is analogous to saying a rapist uncle must not be arrested because he is a breadwinner.
@majordinga@MmusiMaimane Funny how they didn’t try it 1st... just jump straight to demanding the shut down the stores & put thousands of blacks out of work during a recession 😒 could have literally contacted clicks marketing dep & they would have pulled the ad because they’d see their dumb mistake
1. Clicks is primarily black owned, majority of marketing is black, & they employ thousands of blacks; racist company would do none of this
2. People in marketing tend to have slip ups like this because of laziness or incompetence
3. Violence is NOT the way to solve this issue.
@BevYates17@LopSpartan@MmusiMaimane We've been here a million times as a country. Don't racist people in marketing departments learn? This shows the lack of diversity in clicks decision making structures. It's not the first time racist ads are aired. What shod we do smile, sing khumbaya and love on?
1. Company’s owners are primarily black, marketing is majority black, & hires thousands of blacks. 1 dumb ad doesn’t not make them racist
2. There are blacks that would much rather have the ability to put food on the table for their families
3. I doubt you actually have a job
@LopSpartan@MmusiMaimane Who says this is about black employment? And which black person could be employed in a racist chain store... I'll rather stay unmployed if work to promote racism...
The EFF - using a racial ruse - is on the rampage, burning stores across the country. This is what fascists throughout history have done. They must me dealt with by the law and Malema needs to be prosecuted for inciting this violence.
