BREAKING VIDEO: Crazed Socialist Mobs DESTROY H&M Stores in South Africa Over Monkey Ad
Gateway Pundit ^ | 1/13/18 | Cassandra Fairbanks

Crazed mobs of people belonging to a militant socialist political party called the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) spent Saturday morning vandalizing H&M stores at malls across South Africa over a monkey sweatshirt advertisement that the internet deemed to be “racist.”

The EFF is currently the third-largest party in both houses of the South African parliament.

A declaration from the EFF states that the party “draws inspiration from the broad Marxist–Leninist tradition and Fanonian schools of thought in their analyses of the state, imperialism, culture and class contradictions in every society.”

The party has been repeatedly accused of racism against people who are not black.

“We [the EFF] are not calling for the slaughter of white people‚ at least for now,” the group’s president, Julius Malema, said during a political rally in 2016.

Malema has previously been convicted of hate speech for repeatedly singing “dubul’ ibhunu”, which translates to “shoot the boer [white farmer].” White farmers in South Africa are currently being murdered at a rate that many are deeming to be genocide.

The group is confirmed to have targeted stores in Sandton City, Menlyn and Mall of the South — and are believed to be planning to attack more.

The destruction was over an advertisement by the company in which a young black child was wearing a sweatshirt that read, “coolest monkey in the jungle.”

Following backlash over the image being deemed “racist” the company apologized and removed the image from all of their platforms. They also pulled the sweatshirt from their shelves and have said that they will be recycling them.

That wasn’t good enough for socialists however — corrections and apologies are never enough.

Terry Mango, the mother of the child model has also begged people to stop protesting the stores and “crying wolf.” She was present at the photo shoot and saw no issue with the slogan.

“Am the mum and this is one of hundreds of outfits my son has modelled,” Mango wrote. “Stop crying wolf all the time, unnecessary issue here… get over it.”

Those are the first 3 pictures on a search for the "offensive" shirt. Oops, the EFF should go after those white folk for appropriating the shirt.

I’ve been boycotting H&M for years, since I took my young daughter shopping there. I took her to the dressing room (curtains, not doors)and they put a grown man right across from her. I will not shop in a store that doesn’t have separate dressing rooms for male and female.

Sounds like somebody is self-conscious.

Act like a yard ape and you are a yard ape.

You can call me a monkey, chimp, ape, etc. and I get over it. No big deal. Why are blacks so offended being connected to primates? They shouldn’t feel so inferior. They really should think better of themselves.

Question to ponder. Why do socialists call monkeys racist when they believe mankind evolved from them?

One reason every white South African who has a way out is leaving.

It's not your mother's South Africa any more

Under white rule, the Union of South Africa was prosperous, peaceful, well ordered, and a net exporter of food.

After the Boer War ended with independence in 2002, Jan Christiaan Smuts was haled in this country as a patriotic hero in the mold of Washington, while the British were regarded as mass murderers.

Afrikaners & other SA whites should be ushered into the U.S. as known productive citizens. They’ve suffered enough in that ANC-ruled hellhole.
