For the past week, Swedish clothing company H&M have been hounded for releasing a controversial picture of a black boy wearing a ‘racist’ hoodie.
The image featured a black child wearing a hoodie with the words “coolest monkey in the jungle” printed on it. This, of course, caused huge outrage on social media, with people assuming racism on H&Ms behalf.
This week’s new Halfcast podcast sees Chuckie and Poet discuss whether or not the brand was being intentionally racist, and if not, why the company failed to notice any racially discriminating connotations.
The episode is a passionate one, with the two hosts sharing different points of view from all angles – check it out above. Watch the previous episode of the Halfcast podcast where they toss up Paigey Cakey vs Lady Leshurr and Big Shaq vs 67 right here on GRM Daily.
