American Apparel Says: Don't Hire Those TRASHY Black Girls!! (Yikes)


A 150-year-old photograph of two slave children sold last week for nearly 50 times more than the original price of one of the slaves in the picture. Discovered in an attic in a North Carolina home, the picture shows the two children in tattered clothes. An accompanying document indicated that one of the boys was named John, but the other hasn't been identified. The album that included this photo was purchased for $30,000 dollars by New York collector Keya Morgan. According to the document, for which Morgan paid an additional $20,000, John was sold for $1,150 in 1854.




If not racist, American Apparel's hiring practices are unscrupulous at best. Gawker.com posted a copy of the clothing retailer's internal documents, which focus on applicants appearances and instruct hiring managers to send full body shots of potential employees. And one former manager says she was told not to hire "the trashy kind [of black women] that come in, we don't want that. We're not trying to sell our clothes to them."

A previous 20/20 segment exposed CEO Dov Charney's unorthodox practices and suggested he's been sexually inappropriate.

This company is no different from other companies, that prefer that their items, not belong on the backs of a Black person, but to say that they don't want any "trashy" kind is strange to hear, after knowing what kind of ads they have on their website.. please check it out for yourself, and be your own judge..

I wouldn't want to hire anyone that's trashy at a clothing store.
