As a long, long, long, long, long time Converse buyer, I will never buy a Converse product ever again. I am sick of the virtue signalling to racists. I see this and I see a man hanged, a white robe that could be a klansman's robe and light shaped like a KKK hat. What the actual hell!?!

American brand Converse has pulled an ad which evoked Ku Klux Klan imagery, saying it recognised "that we got this wrong". (The BBC reporting is milder, but look at the photo - the "Strange Fruit" look and the white hood seem pretty clear.) Gross. #BoycottConverse

This is absolutely disgusting #BoycottConverse

Yeah, you saw it too, didn't you?

This is an ad by Converse Tennis Shoes.
If you are as repulsed as I am about it, let's make it their last ad.

This was purely intentional. I don't care what anybody says. Their apology is not acceptable.

Impossible to unsee the dripping racism in this. There is NO WAY this is accidental.

Absolutely zero possibility that the creative team and decision makers missed this racist dog whistle. ZERO. Dozens of people had eyes on this and gave it the thumbs up and paid to put it out. Offensive AF. #boycottNIKE #boycottconverse #racismisreal #racismisunacceptable

An ad agency pitching this should never get another job. The Converse exec okaying it should never get another bonus; firing him or her is appropriate. Converse should lose billions in sales. And Nike needs to be taken down a notch or two. #BoycottConverse
