Controversy Over the Ad Campaign
“Presuming that you are not a white supremacist, at least say how horrified you were by how this campaign was amplified and celebrated by unrepentant racists who believe in eugenics,” Harriman wrote. “At least recognise the harm your jeans campaign has caused black folk.

This ain’t it!”
