Company Apologizes For RHOA “Black Wives Matter” Posters, Blames Kenya

If you’re in Atlanta you’ve probably seen a few posters of the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast pop up around the city with the saying “Black Wives Matter” plastered on them. Apparently, a lot of people found it tacky (and stupid) and it garnered a lot of attention online. Bravo has already released a statement saying that they were no way involved. Now the company that produced the posters are releasing a statement to not only apologize, but also blame it on Kenya. 

Read their letter below.

“To whom it may concern,
 
We would like to start by apologizing for our involvement in the Black Wives Matter Bravo TV Real Housewives of Atlanta posters.  This was never supposed to happen the way it did.  We are part of a design team from Chicago that also works out of New York City.  We were hired by who we believe was a representative of Ms. Kenya Moore in early December to design and print these posters. 
 
We are deeply sorry for propagating social injustice and pain in America.  We are coming out about this because it has conflicted with our morals as a multi-racial design team.  Major corporations and celebrities continue to exploit our culture for economic gain and as designers need to begin to stand our ground. 
 
Unfortunately through the Atlanta team’s manipulation techniques they are attempting to gain recognition through controversy and we feel this is immoral.  This must stop NOW.  Bravo and their affiliates must be held accountable because they continue to promote bad role models and distract our culture of the critical issues facing our country.
 
To prove it was us we attached the original .PSD file with all the separate image layers.  The posters were sent early Jan to a PO box in Atlanta.  We do not know who put them up or where but we sent 50 total.  We are trying to stop the rest from being put up.  We are deeply sorry to anyone this hurt or angered. Again, we cannot apologize enough for allowing this period of cultural havoc to break down our already fragile society.”
 

What do you think?
