It's almost a joke that an Asian beauty store located in GA is in the news for displaying a large window poster, which many are referring to as blackface. The funny part? The display was delivered to them by a popular company that distributes African American hair. That company? Outre.
Minister Muhammad Abdullah of Decatur, GA tells CrossRoads News, “It’s an outrage. It’s despicable. It’s horrible. It should be removed.”
Store manager Larry Moon, who is Asian and runs the store, said Monday that the poster had been on display for two and a half weeks. He said he hadn’t received any complaints about it and didn’t understand why African-Americans could be upset about the images.
Moon said the poster was sent to him by Outre Hair Co., a Carlstadt, N.J.-based company that packages a brand of human and synthetic hair sold by the store.
“They just send us whatever they have,” he said. “If people really think that way, I can call the company and have them send us another.”
