Old Navy Tweets Ad Of Interracial Family, Racist Trolls Lose Their Minds
 
 
 
 

Old Navy released an ad with an image of a smiling interracial family wearing their clothes on Friday and some people — shall we call them trolls? — freaked out.

Many lambasted the San Francisco-based company for showing a mixed race family. Most of the haters threatened to never step foot in the retail store known for its cheap stylish clothing again.

Amid all the hate, there was some love.

Grace Mahary, the woman featured in the ad, tweeted a response writing: "In light of the controversy revolving around my pretend family . . . I am proud to be representing interracial love, multiculturalism, and most importantly, a mentality that supports opportunity for all ethnicities. Thanks @oldnavy"

Also, scores of people in interracial marriages responded with photographs of their own families.

WTF is wrong with showing a family on an add? are we really this divided? You people think there are not families like this all over the world? I wonder if this would garner the same hate if the woman or guy was asian or latino....

We still have a long ways to go people.

There's more to advertising than just throwing a thirty second spot out there. You've got to create a climate. I'm thinking Old Navy is just another Chick-Fil-A wannabe. Don't believe everything the advertising world puts out there.

It is unlikely that the overwhelming majority of people would object to this ad. It is also unlikely that the corrupt, left wing press will ever stop trying to destroy our country. Take away the hate groups and the biased press and we are a lot more united than some would believe. That is not something the Left wants us to embrace.

Love is blind. There is nothing wrong with people falling in love and raising a family no matter what their ethnicities are. This country has a long way to go in accepting people, couples and cultures when they share love regardless of their skin color. Why are we as people, judging others in plain sight and pictures. Where is the understanding?

Mr. York, we're past understanding. The politicos have heightened the rhetoric in such a way that the hate and lack of understanding is the norm. And for what? Because the man that has been sitting in the Oval Office for almost eight yeas is black.

This is where it all came from. Mr. Obama won in 2008 and that turned some folks bat $%^& crazy. Their world was ending as they knew it and all that drivel ( eye roll).

So now we have polarization on all levels thanks to Mr. McConnell and his Inauguaration Ball meeting where they plotted to do absolutely nothing to help fix the mess that they helped to make.

Mary Johnson - There is no greater source of division in this country than criminal tendency. If we really want racial harmony, the FBI should stop tracking offenders by race, as it shows an unpleasant truth. Obama has simply put this criminal tendency in perspective, and shattered the believability of the systemic or institutional racism argument in the minds of many.

Good for Old Navy. As for the few negative comments here so far, just FYI, we have already seen mixed-race families on TV ads, and nobody I know cares. The more people marry whom they love, not whom they are told to marry, the better off the world will be. We are sll the same under our skin color.

If you look at the original post on Twitter and read the replies, it is nothing but Alt-Right/ Neo-Nazi/ Trump/ White Nationalist dirtbags that lurk in anonymity. They are simply children that can't handle that the world has changed and they are left behind in their antiquated thinking & beliefs. Posts like this ad are a way for them to have a temper tantrum in public.

Cathy Rohrscheib Bad publicity is better than no publicity at all. Who cares, really ?? I would have never heard of this ad except for "cruising" MSN so I really have to wonder about the responses the story cites. There are numerous ads on TV which portray interracial couples/families and I've yet to see or hear any outrage. Ad agencies make millions and millions getting their clients' name out to the public, they well know what they are doing and if their ad campaign doesn't get noticed, they take another approach to attract attention....even bad attention. It all equates to the same thing in the final analysis; more money for the client and the ad agency. Everyone getting all twisted over this story; get a grip and stop being played by big business.

I have noted that most of the hate type ads are posted by people who do not have the guts to stand up for what they believe. In my opinion, you can find most of them at Trump rallies. If you want to live in the past, whdere white guys rule everyone, you missed the bus.

Nice going Old Navy! Seems most people believe interracial couples are a black man and a white woman. Showing more reality with black women with white men is a truer picture of life. You got the skin head frantics on the right an the black community on the left, " white womem taking our black men and nwd white men takinng our black women!!!! Racism and revese racism
