The loser brand merchandise is donated for a charitable contribution and the charitable contribution tax deduction. Hence the photo in Africa. I learned about this only yesterday afternoon. Was it on this group that someone pointed to an article on the negative effects of such donations? I'm not sure. But somewhere I read that an unintended consequence is the killing of any cloth or clothing industries in the countries that receive the donations. Just goes to show that nothing is simple. Somewhere I've got a photo of us with some folks in their very remote eastern European village, the sort of place that's sees almost no tourists and is difficult to even drive to. One local guy is wearing an "I [heart] New York" T-shirt. I think the world must have been much more interesting before it was so thoroughly westernized. Absolutely. You are so wise. When I was sewing and wearing dashikis in the late 1960s it was eclectic and exotic. But an African wearing 'I ♥ NY' is cultural appropriation. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |
