ROME (AP) -- Gucci has apologized after complaints that a wool sweater with an oversized collar designed to cover the face resembled blackface makeup, and said the item had been pulled from its online and physical stores.

At first I thought this is a little over the top, considering I live in a cold climate and occasionally wear a full face black mask to protect against the elements. It's a common sight around these parts. But I think I see the complaint here about this product specifically. It's the red lips added for effect. That does conjure up images of black-face.

I can see how many might see the connection. If they dropped the lips, then it's just what any of us "up North" folks wear, such as these. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/...ava-16srsykdscmbclvxxaoa/16srsykdscmbclvxxaoa If you added large red lips to them, or white ones, then that might get a few negative responses because of the history of black-face.

But if you've ever been outside in windy sub-zero weather for
hours, you'd really appreciate the comfort. I wear such things.
The Fogevader is my favorite because it prevents glasses
from fogging up. And after an hour or so, I get a nice long
icicle hanging off the front of it.

I guess my blackface history has now doomed my political career
