Well put the first guy on the left in a highly racy sexualized ad for “banana fetish” and the implications are obviously obvious. 1 minute ago, BGXKB said: OK?

Domination Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I mean it’s clumsy as hell. I they are distinctly darker than Jeffrey, and even if they aren’t black or could be white / latin guys like it’s still very exotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to stop overusing that word. Historically white people used to say black men have big bananas to say that’s their proof that they are closer to animals than human thereby justifying slavery. It’s a antiquated racist idea with no basis in science that has just been passed down through the ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theatrics y'all pull out every time he does something remotely polarizing is cumbersome He has much bigger skeletons in his closet we can be discussing, not this photoshoot. Congrats, you gave him the attention he wanted. More sales, woohoo. This. Literally gave him attention for his new collection launch. His products are usually good tho ngl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seiko Oomori Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 (edited) y'all are so ******* delusional if u cant see that him eating bananas kneeling in front of darkly tanned/darker skinned men with baby hairs on his head isn't loaded and racist edit: and considering his past too ??? ot can we stop giving his manufactured controversies attention Edited May 2, 2022 by Seiko Oomori Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would defend a racist like this. OT: No surprises here. Idk if people are wilfully ignorant of how problematic this is or are genuinely that dense.

IBeMe Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 he is clearly doing this for controversy and attention because he hasnt been getting it for ages now. He is a literal flop compared to what he used to be and he deserves it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just rather would like to see people care this much about climate change, job disadvantages for black people, hate crimes against black people, the war in the Ukraine, LGBTQ+ issues, etc. Those are things I am angry about. Jeffree pretending to suck a banana is cringe. This kinda is an LGBTQ+ issue…if you’ve never been fetishized then you don’t know how de-humanizing that can feel.

Kayseri Mantisi Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Nothing in the pic except Jeffree's face is real, it's 3D art. How do y'all see black man and bananas and connect those as “monkeys” ? That's literally more ridiculous. Racism shouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind when you see this pic, it's just ugly looking at most. The collection is yellow and it's called Banana Fetish like what did you expect there to be ? Strawberries ? Also I don't even like or follow him, just my thoughts. If I saw this on my IG feed “wtf so racist” wouldn't be the first thing I think. Overusing of the word “racist” makes it lose it's meaning for real racism out there.

Like I actually think it's racist to see this and relate it to black people. I have never in my life linked black people , Bananas , and Monkeys together and y'all are weird as **** for doing so. Jeffery is still trash tho Edited May 2, 2022 by makeme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESPECIALLY when you had no problem calling a black woman a gorilla in the past? nope! too much of a coincidence for me Right. Very very suspect.

He's making a very clear, racist reference to the fetishisation of dark skinned men for having "large bananas". ___________________ I'm quite shocked by how dense people are on this site. Why are presumably white/non-black ATRL users deciding what is and isn't racist? If a POC is calling out something as racist, listen to them. Don't gaslight them and tell them they're delusional. It must be because you're all used to making similar tone deaf fetish comments on the regular and don't want to admit it's racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
