Timberland Boots Drops Collaboration With APC After Just 1 Week Due to Racist Remarks By French Designer

Okay people I have said it b4 so let me say it again and this time pay fucking attention!!! If you are white, and you hang out with black people, marry a black person, have biracial kids, have sex on the side with a black person. That NEVER gives you the right to say or write the word NIGGER!!! There is NO SUCH THING AS A RACE CARD PASS FOR RACISM!!!! Are we clear? Let me CRYSTAL CLEAR. IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY OR WRITE THE WORD NIGGER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. PERIOD!!!!! I cannot write it any clearer than that.

A.P.C. designer, Jean Touitou was giving a presentation to the Media and Timberland Boots when he picked up a sign from his presentation that read "Nigger in Paris". Now Jean says his thoughts on this title were inspired by the that fact that Kanye West has a "Watch the Throne song called Nigger in Paris" and the Marlon Brando movie, Last Tango in Paris. WTF! This is the very reason why I don't like it when minorities use the N word. It gives morons like this French dude, the license to use them also. Because he thinks it's ok to use because some famous black person wrote a song about it. NO Touitou, that does not give you the right or permission to use this word. You are white fool!!! So, Timberland boots immediately dropped its collaboration with A.P.C. clothing line. In a statement released today, Timberland writes, ""We have chosen to immediately terminate our involvement with the A.P.C. brand. Simply stated, this kind of language and approach is in complete contrast with our values," the U.S.-based company said in a statement. “Timberland seeks to collaborate with designers and brands who are at the forefront of lifestyle trends; equally important, they must also share our values. We will not tolerate offensive language or racial slurs of any kind being associated with the Timberland brand." Thank you Timberland for saying NO to racism! Thank you for not looking at your bottom line and saying, it's ok to be racist and allow this kind of vulgar language and ideology to continue to be perpetuated in the year 2015. Thank you so much!!!!! We need more companies like yours who are not going sit back and allow hate speak to be associated with your brand.
