      black women—women of color period— experience racism as well.

      Yes, I know. I am one. But he's in this particular pot of hot water because of an incident where a black man (one of his target audience, one of his people) was racially profiled and he didn't pull his support for the company responsible.

    He needs to stop hanging out with Paltrow. He's stepped the hell away from reality.

      That was my first thought, too. Chris Martin will be wearing all of these items.

      Paltrow? Please. This is Kanye's bad influence. Leather boxing shorts?! To go with West's leather jogging pants, right?

    Dodai, to be fair, it is BOXING shorts. Not Boxer Shorts. So it is not to wear under your clothes, it is to go work out in. Cause you know, nothing feels as comfortable as sweaty embroidered leather.

      I would think the weight of the leather would cause them to fall down with that elastic waist band. Imagine trying to jog in those.

      Or maybe it is an industrial strength elastic and it will give the guys muffin top.

    At first, 25 percent of the proceeds were going to charity. Now 100 percent are so I am happy about that. I just don't understand some peoples taste. None of this stuff is attractive. Folks are really willing to spend a ton on truly ugly stuff when they can find cheap and attractive alternatives. If I am gonna blow money on something it has to be freaking gorgeous. It better not look like anything that I can buy in any old store. I guess that people could say the same thing about my fashion sense though. At least the kids will get their proceeds.

      Donating the money to charity offers the consumers a way to feel better about themselves after purchasing crazy expensive bullshit that was more than likely (maybe not in this case, I'm not bothering to research) underpaid workers. Woohoo!

      I know that the 25 percent was a done deal before all of this horrible crap came out and Barneys hiked it up to 100 percent after it came out. I am yucked out by that tactic but I am still glad about the charity. I am not bothering to research about the unpaid worker thing either but I hope that it isn't the case. I doubt that a lot of the youngsters buying this crap know or care about the charitable part. They are sucked in by owning something made by Jay Z. I could buy so many supplements and self care items with the money that one of these items could buy. I hate being broke.

    I just don't understand this. I always thought this kind of opulence was to be mocked and ridiculed. That was kinda the feeling when I was growing up...but maybe the minimalist grunge trend had everything to do with that. ?

    I know someone who carries her lunch in shopping bags from places like Saks and Neiman Marcus. Why? So you can fool people into thinking you are part of the upper crust? And why?

        Oh goody. Ski masks. This is just too easy. Better not try on in the store or you'll get arrested for SWB (shopping while black).

        I would respectfully submit that there's a big difference between "boxer shorts" and "boxing shorts." Though neither can ever be worth twenty-six hundred damn dollars...particularly not when they're that unattractive. Actually, all of this shit is pretty bad.

            Whenever I read about people spending thousands on Farmville, or buying indecently overpriced celebrity-endorsed clothes, I just think there are some really tacky Saudi princelets somewhere on coke-fueled shopping binges. Because there totally are.

          $995 t-shirt or feed a meal with all 4 food groups to 300 people? Oh, definitely the t-shirt. I mean, really. It has epaulets.
