Reel by Francesca James
Francesca James@francescasjames The controversial Converse ad is about more than what one person “chooses” to see. Black people don’t have to go looking for racial imagery—we know our history. You don’t have to see what I see, but your not seeing it doesn’t erase the history that informs what I see. #ConverseAd #BlackHistory #RacialImagery #RacismInAmerica #HistoricalMemory

@boyettejudy Disgusting. I am throwing out any nike and converse items I have and will not buy that brand ever again.
@lcsawyer1 There is only one way to see this.
@classicmanfrom85 And of course it's a white person telling US “it's how we choose to see it...” Have several seats, Karen!
@louskundt Show the actual picture not the cropped version. Its a korean add showing a korean girl in a white dress holding dome chucks. You are delusional
@lazarus72 Unfortunately your mind will see what it wants to see
@margarettewebber What the hell are we supposed to be seeing? All I see is someone holding one of the pair of shoes.
@plopplesplopples its a cropped image, the contrast has been adjusted. You're fragile, you aee what you want.
