There are so many answers.
The charge Macy’s had to answer to was probably not the first answer that came to your mind.
No, it wasn’t the same sex interracial couple with the matching Papa Bear shirts.
No, it wasn’t that white families are the only ones with dogs.
Yes, it was that the single mother was black. THAT’S RACIST!
(And if the single mother was white they’d be saying that Macy’s was reluctant to honor the shtruggles that black women throughout the country deal with during the holidays. You can’t win.)

Since black single moms with multiple kids by multiple partners is the norm what else could they do!
They’re racist. Knew that without even looking at them.
I don’t think she is a single mom. I assumed her baby daddy was in the pen doing 10-20 for armed robbery.
I first thought the problem was no lesbian family. I am sure that is a problem but didn’t go far enough up the food chain to warrant a mass outcry.
Anonymous, I’m surprised they didn’t make the single mom Asian, since this kind of “ad-agitprop” usually depicts the exact opposite of what is found in real life.
And where are the Trannies?
Haha! I worked for a huge bank. Every year HR would issue a benefits guide or handbook.
The cover had drawn characters with different thought balloons. All the white people were thinking things like. How do I get reimbursed for college tuition?
The 2 black characters were asking. How many sick days do I have? How do I get a loan from my 401k?
We all got replacement guides that year.
Macy’s apologized and “corrected” their family pajama page. Here’s the funny thing. They still don’t have a black woman with a black man/family. The woman who is modeled with a black man is the same woman modeled with an Asian(probably). So they must not have had time to go find a black model? Now they do use the same white parents for 3 separate families. There is one glaring problem photo on the website though: The white family with 5 kids. None of them obviously adopted from Africa, that’s got to be twisting the global warming overpopulation crowd off.

One of these things is not like the other. That was fun.
It would have been nice to see Macy’s attack the SJW’s by stating that the picture shows three well-dressed, well fed and happy children in a family led by a single, successful black woman and asking if the ones calling Macy’s racist, were in fact racist themselves by implying that single black women are incapable of being a success and raising happy, well adjusted children. They shouldn’t have given them an inch and if they threatened a boycott, Macy’s could have made this a advertising campaign that could have been wildly successful.
The family of the black single mom are screaming and jumping on the furniture out of control.
There is one thing lower than parents who use their children as props to advance their political agenda. That would be entities that piggyback on this exploitation.
If you do a thorough search of The Oregonian you will see a striking similarity between many photos of the Hart children (the ones whose two “mothers” drove them off a cliff in California once they knew that the authorities could no longer look the other way and continue to cover up for their child abuse.) Here is a sample: https://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2018/04/hart_family_deaths_show_–_aga.html
Macy’s will go the way of JC Penney and Sears and it will be their incorporation of inculcation of progressivism into their business model, instead of focusing on their core deliverable, that will take them there.
Why are 6 out of 17 black but only 10 of 17 white (0ne is indeterminate)? Blacks only represent 12% of the population . And where are our Latino hemanos y hermanas?
Instead of trying to please all the liberals all of the time advertisers should grow some balls and say if this ad offends don’t buy out products, we aren’t for everybody.
I thought she looked white
Since when does an add for Pajamas need to pass the ‘anything we find in your add that we can complain about’ test?
Where are the Cousin Its? Also, everyone is clothes and no one is letting it all hang out. What no tats? No freaky hair color or shaed heads on the wimins?
$5. says that next year Macy’s clothing ads will be shot with the clothes hanging off clear plastic manikins. That’s how “edgy” Macy’s is.
Put some pants on those dogs!
Next time just dye everybody green. Problem solved.
Plus, it’s eco-friendly.
🙂
The problem is, I’m not sold.
Maybe black dad was working an overtime shift at the factory to fill orders due to Trump’s revved up economy?
As a black former single-parent dad, the WHOLE AD offends me!
Why is the atheist family in the lower right hand corner celebrating Christmas?
I could just say screw Macy’s. Who cares? I gave up when Marshall Field’s was bought by them. But it’s closer to home. I was in the check out line in a small local grocery store last night. The checker, a twenty something, was holding up the line further by discussing, with the customer in front of me, how she would have her nails done for Christmas. She’s thinking of blue/silver, but that might be too ‘Jewish’ and she doesn’t want to ‘offend’ anyone. I told her to go with red and green, wish everyone a Merry Christmas and get it over with. She doesn’t like the red/green color combination. Oy vey!
What ?
No PAJAMA Burkas or Sombreros?
You know, because we are all so fed up with this constant race baiting crapola from the left, the right often lashes out and can sound “racist” in response.
You’re supposed to look up one day and suddenly realize that ads for Macy’s have had black single mothers in them (very different from 50 years ago) but you really don’t notice anymore.
That isn’t going to happen because THE LEFT WON’T LET IT!!!
They have to dissect and analyze and draw attention and point and accuse.
So the response will naturally be, “go f*ck yourself and your tiresome agendas.”
it’s a shame, really.
It’s like when you realize a relationship is in need of repair, so you plan a wonderful day up in the mountains with a picnic basket, and the chick just can’t let the day unfold without constantly saying, “isn’t this nice, isn’t this wonderful, isn’t this special, isn’t thi”
SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!!!!!! You’re ruining it!!!!!!!!!
About six months ago Macy’s had a weekend ad with an all white family.
I called their ad agency to report a counterfeit Macy’s ad.
They NEVER have all white families in their ads.
Where’s the muzzie family with mom wearing a burka?
Macy’s will go the way of Sears.
It’s called the internet.
Buh-bye
@Truckbuddy: the trannies are all in the shop having a ‘kit’ put in ’em!
And she is appropriating white womens hair…
There isn’t a single Target or Macy’s ad, TV or print, that doesn’t have multiple blacks involved.
GOT ta have diversity!
Even if o.oo1% blacks snow ski or run marathons.
These morons are eating their own.
The look on that dog’s face says it all: “Get me out of this b.s.”
This is a trick question, right?
The white guy with beard obviously doesn’t know who his kids are.
Has anyone noticed how many blacks are on TV commercials and other ads lately? I’m all for depicting a diverse America, but you’d think America was over 50% black if you based your guess from watching TV. The number of mixed race couples on TV is simply unrealistic and it’s obviously being done to shape attitudes of young people. It’s also popular to make white people look like simpletons by having black people talk down to them in many ads and don’t get me started about how white males are made to look stupid and irrelevant by having women and even children degrade their husbands and fathers. I’m sick of the constant brainwashing techniques.
“so you plan a wonderful day up in the mountains with a picnic basket….”
Who takes a picnic basket up the mountain for a romantic interlude? That’s so gay. Or….. maybe…

Just heckling ya bfh. 😉 I’m bored, and Twitter-verse is devoid of self aware humanoids, even less a sense of humor.
Maybe the HUSBAND of the black mother is taking the photo?
I see they avoided the inflammatory, Black man White woman.
Black women really hate that, unless the White woman is fat and ugly.
Mexicans have pretty much scooped all those green cards up.
The black single mother and her children are shown responding to the news that “daddy” is gay and is now with his new family in the top/right photo.
The only issue to be had is the ridiculous interracial gay dudes in the upper right corner.
The single black mom is realistic and I thought a sweet touch because there are a lot of single moms and it isn’t always because they’re loose or looking for baby daddies. Sometimes it’s just a dead spouse or a deadbeat dad.
Oh and Engelburka!
Warn me next time that it’s minnie riperton….. For pete’s sake! It’s like, like, aw shit……terrible!
