Why are The King Trey, Barbara and Mr. Fresh reacting negatively? There is nothing offensive to African Americans in general in the article. Before you burn your MFG jeans and whatnot in anger, try to understand what Mr Girbaud is really saying. All he says is that he doesn't wanna be exclusive to the hip hop culture and in essence, his clothes are for anyone who can afford them.

I also object to The King Trey comments about Blacks putting Girbaud on the map, as well as his use of foul language. I am from the Philippines and the brand has stores all over our country as well as other Asian countries. Don't make this a racism issue because it just ISN'T.
