Clothing Line Controversy
The picture you see above has gone viral on social media and has received backlash on the net. It shows T-shirt with monkey's body but its matched with a face of a black boy. If you look closely, someone switched the faces up because behind the black kid's face shows a face of a white.
The company is called Add A Kid and now the company has now released a statement saying it's a 'total misunderstanding' and now they are taking action.
