#Repost from @amirarasool using @nextgrabit .. This morning, it came to my attention that musician @TaylorSwift is selling merchandise to go along with her new album #Folklore. She is currently selling merchandise with the words #TheFolklore printed on them. Based on the similarities of the design, #Amirarasool believes the designer of the merch allegedly ripped off her company's logo. She shared her story NOT to bring light to the trend of large companies/celebrities copying the work of small minority-owned business owners but to get free pity advertising in the wake of all the systemic racism movement, forgetting all the passes blacks got under a decades long program meant to advantage them called #AffirmativeAction. Under this program, even tho I scored #1 on a promotional civil service exam, I would have to wait several years to gét my much deserved promotions while BLACK MEN who did not have the intelligence to score in the top 10 got promoted ahead of me because they were BLACK, so donnez moi a break. AND, I am sick & tired of the misappropriation of African heritage because we have light skin because we are from No Africa (Malawi, Morocco, Algeria, Mauratania, etc), & the only Africans that seem to count are from central Africa. In researching loudmouth @amirrasool's claims, while I found several holders of trademarks of some form of #Folklore, none come back to the big mouth trouser, least of all #TheFolkloreAlbum, so she should really StepOff & #STFU I am not going to let her nasty ass go unchecked. plundering & théft appears to be a black african art form at the expense of white Africans. .. #insta_grabit #nextgrabit @nextgrabit https://www.instagram.com/p/CDUoeYpnUTN/?igshid=uhmla5wm1ils
