*Rachel Dolezal is back at attempting to profit off blackness, and this time she’s selling a “protest” hoodie to counter H&M’s racist ad depicting a young black model wearing a “Coolest Monkey In The Jungle” hoodie.
Instead, her version says “Coolest Prince In the Hood.”
In a now-deleted Instagram post, the “trans-racial” former NAACP chapter president was slammed on Instagram when she explained her “protest hoodie.”
“Here is my protest hoodie to counter H&M’s ‘Coolest Monkey in the Jungle’ shirt,” Dolezal wrote on Instagram. “I had to… because my son was called a ‘monkey’ in second grade, and I remember going to the principal about it. After educating the school officials about the historical context of the slur and demanding they operate under a zero tolerance policy for this type of harassment, the student was suspended. But, due to his parents being ‘offended’ that he was disciplined for calling my son a racial slur, they pulled him from public school and homeschooled him. This hits home with many of us moms, I’m sure…”

“So, I spent today designing this new hoodie that my little son will soon be wearing with pride. In production now, sale is on for pre-orders before they ship on next Wednesday.”
Facing backlash about wanting to capitalize on the controversy, Dolezal said the money would go to her children, even though she is reportedly unemployed.
“It’s an empowering shirt, denoting royalty,” Dolezal responded to a comment about proceeds from the sale of the hoodies. “I hope it makes kids who wear it feel 10 feet tall. Any profits will go directly to providing for my 3 Princes, though it’s a risk I’m taking to get the shirts made because if I don’t sell enough I might have to eat the cost. Most likely I’ll break even, but that’s the best I can do for protesting right now in the absence of a job. So, it’s not about filling pockets. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. You wanna make a different shirt or do something else? Coo… I think we should all be doing something to take a stand in these times.”
