A few weeks ago, Rocawear created t-shirts stamped with ‘Occupy All Streets’ in support of the Occupy
Wall Street movement. The t-shirts reportedly went on sale yesterday, however the
company was immediately bombarded with criticism after releasing a
statement saying that proceeds from the $22 dollar t-shirts would not be
donated to the cause:
The ‘Occupy All Streets’ T shirt was created in support of the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ movement. Rocawear strongly encourages all forms of constructive expression, whether it be artistic, political or social. ‘Occupy All Streets’ is our way of reminding people that there is change to be made everywhere, not just on Wall Street. At this time we have not made an official commitment to monetarily support the movement.
According to TMZ,
supporters of ‘Occupy Wall Street’ were livid with the clothing company
and one of the leaders (Priscilla Grim) blasted Jay by saying:
Jay-Z, as talented as he is, has the political sensibility of a hood rat and is a scrotum. To attempt to profit off of the first important social moment of 50 years with an overpriced piece of cotton is an insult to the fight for economic civil rights known as #occupywallstreet.”
