I see @volkswagen have joined the recent trend of "accidentally on purpose" using racist advertising to get attention cheaply.

The list goes on. Nobody is convinced that ads can go through all the stages from conception to actually being put out with no one noticing they were #racist. You know & I know that you know that I know😉
How could I forget @gucci
Tbh, I don't know why black folk choose to wear apparel of some of these brands, #logos boldly displayed.

@Sony were among the pacesetters with a #racist @PlayStation ad many years ago.

Not to be left out, the tech industry had the #racist @intel #sprinter ad

The list goes on and on, @kfc @dunkindonuts & many others have had theirs. The point is, when 1 or 2 have made the blunder, you'd think everyone will be careful to not cause offence. But the regularity with which they churn them out, suggests that it is calculated for #publicity
