I have to admit seems to have been ill thought out, along the lines of the t-shirt with the monkey on.

To be fair, that's  just one image of about a dozen, and you've done well to freeze frame it on that one..

you’ve done well 

I rather think whoever posted it on facebook has "done well".

I did some Black Friday shopping on a site called Blacks. I'm so confused.

Single image on Facebook but part of a series.  I can't see there being an issue unless you are looking for one

Cue outrage on a soon to be announced 'White Wednesday' shopping extravaganza , when advertisers use a photo of a white person.

It's a photo of a person!

The main outrage should be that the whole black Friday "event" is pretty shit, I'm after some proper bargains!

I'm getting quite a lot of offer emails with 30% off site wide. Which seems pretty reasonable, but I don't really need anything at the moment so not been shopping...

What’s wrong with it? Picture of man looking happy to advertise a sale event. If people are offended by that then I actually feel sorry for them. Quick, find offense at anything!

Am I allowed to be offended by American spellings of English words?

No, or some might say yes, so you do the math.

Can't you just pretend to be a little bit offended to please the white people who think you should be offended!

Years back there was outrage at a pack of playing cards that the NME gave away.I there wasn't an outrage I wouldn't have noticed it but Bob Marley was the king of spades.

Some people operate on a different level.

Next, had Black Friday balloons, of course in Black, but they also had Black Friday balloons in White, when my 2yo was SCREAMING at the balloons, the shop assistant said without being prompted "he can have one of the white ones if he wants"

If their series of 'happy salesy people' images had only featured white europeans, then we should possibly be outraged.

As it is, get over it and go watch some Lenny Bruce.

That’s more like it, can’t infringe on people’s inalienable right to be offended now, can we... 😉
