Nivea posts what they think about black people.



The title of the ad says re-civilize yourself but it might as well had said " Nivea posts what they think about black people." the way some have been acting.
I think the ad is funny but many have their panties in a wad. I step back and say, my people does everything have to be a racist battle? If they would have put a white man with long shaggy hair would the word racism have popped in your head? Probably not.
Nivea pulls the ad issuing a public apology via Facebook.

“Thank you for caring enough to give us your feedback about the recent ‘Re-civilized’ NIVEA FOR MEN ad. This ad was inappropriate and offensive. It was never our intention to offend anyone, and for this we are deeply sorry. This ad will never be used again. Diversity and equal opportunity are crucial values of our company.”

I don’t think the ad is saying that having an afro is uncivilized. To be honest with you the ad could say alot but Racism is not one of the words for me. What do you think?
