prada makes $500 angela davis t-shirt, proving colonizers have no chill
Never tired of capitalizing on Black struggles, colonizers are back at it with a $500 Angela Davis t-shirt coming to you from Prada. Talk about commodification.
The pricey shirt is part of their Spring 2018 comic books-inspired collection. The artist behind the design is Trina Robbins, a white woman, who says she “admires” Angela Davis. “I mean, I absolutely idolized Angela Davis. Running from the FBI, my God! She was such a comic-book character”, the artist said in an interview with Dazed.
LMAO! Sh*t! You can’t make this stuff up.
Angela Davis is an anti-capitalist activist though.
Carry on, colonizers.

Angela Davis wouldn’t even approve of Prada’s existence, let alone a Prada t-shirt w/ her on it priced at $500.. people really turning whole revolutionaries & their lives to overpriced, fashionable aesthetics for the sake of profit. wild https://t.co/0eKH1zGIYr
