The company who makes those apparently thinks Black women are more "independent" than white women. -

It has come to our attention that there is a misleading photo circulating around the internet. Our company takes these matters very seriously and wishes to address them without any further delay.
The photo in question shows two Baby K’tan Baby Carriers on the shelf at an unidentified retailer. One Baby K’tan product features an African American woman holding her baby, and the other Baby K’tan product features a Caucasian couple with their baby. This portrayal has left many of our loyal patrons concerned that this is an unfair representation of African American families. Furthermore, the box bearing the African American woman was inaccurately priced lower than the box with the Caucasian couple. Let’s address these pressing matters head on:
1) We have a total of 5 different products, each featuring a different image on the front of the packaging. One box has the Caucasian couple on the front, and the other four boxes have individual mothers with their babies on the front (including African American and Caucasian women).
2) The Baby K’tan product featuring the African American woman is from our organic line which should actually be priced higher than the other product displayed.
3) The couple considered to be Caucasian is actually in fact an international couple, featuring a Caucasian mom and a Hispanic dad.
Our company was built and has prospered because of our focus on diversity and inclusion. We wholeheartedly reject any false, unfounded and baseless claims of discrimination as depicted in the above misrepresentation. We here at Baby K’tan fully support exposing any unfair and inaccurate stereotypes, racism and/or discrimination wherever it may exist.
We plan to continue including diverse parents, both individually and as couples, throughout our images. In fact, we are proud to have such wholesome and loving caregivers as the faces of our company.

big deal.
their response was offensive. foolhardy at best.
they acknowledge it's a Caucasian couple in #1 then they say it's an international couple #3. FOH.
images are powerful and have subconscious effects.
don't drop a penny on their products. -
Smh mfs find anything to cry about these days.
-
Typical wiggar tactics. I urge you all to #staywoke to this ? and don't support such business.
Something similar:
The breadth and depth of Black imagery MATTERS. -
Low-key racist ? .
This is how a lot of Whites subconsciously view Blacks.
Many are racist to the point they don't even realize they're racists. -
it is trickery on both sides...
-

The company can say whatever but the absence of a black man on the boxes of their product speaks volumes -
I get what theyre saying fam,its just these days blacks are starting to nitpick about every ? thing. Like that Barneys situation, knowing damn well them ? never even been inside of a Barneys. Saying Jay aint ? for not saying anything lol . Who gives a ? if theres no black men on the box, dont buy the ? . Thats just me tho, yall can continue.

it hurt their feelings tho -
To be 100% honest though, if their explanation is true - and I dunno if it is or not - I see no issue with this at all.

Their explanation was wack.
Just put a couple on the cover and leave it at that. Or come up with a better explanation.
Some ? like "we were trying to appeal to the single-mothers with that one." -

Let's use some deductive reasoning, fam. Based on your statement, it would mean that you think their them having 5 different pics for 5 different products is wack, not the actual explanation, no? -
How about we stop being ? in a bucket and start supporting black owned business', instead of worrying about how the white man is running his. Guess what, alot of the heads of these companies you love prolly dont like black people. We need to create and support our own ? .
