White House employee
and fashion entrepreneur Ivanka Trump has received an exclusive license to
produce merchandise featuring the slogan ‘Black Lives Matter’ or ‘#BLM’ in
China. ‘Ivanka couldn’t be more thrilled by this opportunity to broaden her
market demographics’ a spokesperson commented. ‘Oh yeah, and to show her commitment
to equality for all – I almost left that out.”
When asked if this action might be interpreted as exploitative, the same
spokesperson feigned surprise: ‘Ivanka would be shocked at the question. She has
already made clear to her manufacturers that the t-shirts, belt buckles, and
headbands on order must meet the highest standards -- and that the workers should get at least one toilet break per shift.’ And who is it that Ms. Trump
sees as the target audience for her new #BLM line? ‘Basically, the young professional w…, um, um
… people, um, young professional people of all colors, who just realized that they support Black Lives
Matter but who won’t settle for a cheap t-shirt.’
