<![CDATA[FUCK CONVERSE.]]>FUCK CONVERSE. And fuck their apology.

This was entirely intentional. And entirely racist.

This image—from their ad campaign—speaks for itself.

Fuck them, now and forever.

Nike owns Converse.
Call them at: 800-806-6453

Seriously, Nike/Converse "apologize" for an overt, blatant act of racism, an ad that went through various pitch presentations from the ad team to the client, to executives, to creatives over many months, before rooms full of adults who should know better?

Apologizing for an UNintentional act is one thing.

Apologizing for an intentional act is hypocrisy.

Apologizing for this is...just..mockery.

This ad very much evokes images depicting that horror.
