A friend shared an image today that made me sick to my stomach. I am sharing with you in hopes that you do as I did and contact Nivea’s offices with a complaint
This is the image:
This is my complaint
How dare you suggest in this ad lockerz.com/s/130486212 that Black men who appear with afros and facial hair are uncivilized and don’t give a damn about their appearance. It is a racially bigoted suggestion that disparages the Black aesthetic. This ad is offensive to Black men and Black people. You must cease placing this ad in magazines. It is completely unacceptable to suggest that by using your products, Black men will somehow become “re-civilized”. Are you suggesting that Black men are uncivilized to begin with? There is too much history rooted in reducing Black people to comparisons to apes, monkeys, etc. We will not accept this.
