      @@AO_Training I refuse to believe that. White folks know well enough that crap that would start if they hurt black people on the basis of skin colour. The problem I also have with this is that, even if it was so, people like the EFF would label every white person as the same, and they generally do anyway, so does the ANC.
      And make a point of going ot of their way to spite white folks any way they can. Yet odly these politicians rubs shoulders with all sorts of dodgy rich white folk from other countries and that seems OK because it makes them rich. But then they come here and white people this white people that. Hypocritical bigots the lot of them. Wouldn't trust then as far as you cold throw them. Also a fk ton of double standards

    I think people should protest against Tresemme' instead of Clicks. Sure Clicks buggered up by posting such a racist ad, but Tresemme' themselves developed it and were completely insensitive to how such an ad would be received. Completely offensive. I won't be using Tresemme' anymore. Time to switch brands! I also think Clicks senior management have thrown the junior employees under the bus. They should be suspended as they will have approved this terrible ad.

But why is a political party that has been silent during lockdown only make headlines about the VBS looting scandal in close proximity with their leaders, violently attacking stores where the most vulnerable that need hourly pay during these hard times are instead of calling to boycott clicks??!! We need to see this level of protesting in solidarity with Gender base violence, corruption, farm murders, unemployment and so many more issues.

      It just goes to show how much we have to learn about ourselves as black people. The fact that there were black people who missed this highlights a number of problems
      1. They could fear voicing out their opinions which questions the effectiveness of diversity.
      2. They genuinely failed to pick up the problem. This is similar to someone saying you're beautiful for a dark skin woman. Maybe 10 years back on would accept the compliment and think oh boy this is the most beautiful thing someone has ever said to me. Fast forward 2020 you think to yourself, no man thats not right your beauty is not determined by your pigmentation.
      I appreciate EFFs efforts to address the problem. But the problem is not at clicks stores/ branches you can't endanger the very same people you claim to be fighting for.

    Many years ago I worked for Sentula Mining in Woodmead and one day I decided to let my hair free. I had the most amazing huge fluffy bun and was so proud of it. When I walked into the office; the finance director who was very racist was shocked. I said: "Nice hey." and she said she didn't think black hair was nice. But that company had a lot of racist issues that were detrimental to my career eventually. What's scary is that the legal system in South Africa makes it so difficult to prove racism. They don't see it unless its what they have written in their books.

FLAT " hair means hair that has NO bounce or volume and needs FIXING ! Shampoos everywhere in all brands try to CORRECT this state and make hair NORMAL -ie full of volume and bounce instead of flat - this was INTENDED meaning NOT to say the WHITE woman's hair was NORMAL and the black hair was ABNORMAL .

I didn't really notice the colour of the woman paired with the descriptions until it was pointed out to me. I am white and my hair is frizzy and dull. I think for most woman fine and flat is not a compliment - most woman want volume and full bodied hair, again I saw it as a description of a hair condition and Tresemme was obviously communicating that they have a product specifically to combat flat and fine hair. The same as when you purchase skincare products, oily skin, dry skin and normal skin. I know some might think I'm ignorant but the truth is I was not raised in a racist home and I for one just saw four different descriptions of hair conditions (like when buying products for your skin, dry, oily, normal, normal to dry etc)

    The person who made the advertisement is clearing oblivious to the whole race thing. Maybe in that way the person who set up the advertisement ain't racist, and sees everyone as equal so didn't see a problem including two different people of colour. However, it could be racist intentions as well. Or not, we will never know.
    What we do know, is the person setting up the advert is clearly stupid
    . How did they not think this would upset people and cause a stir. Do they not get people to proof read? Just by looking at it, you know it is going to cause trouble.
    They must be punished for causing this chaos.
    Additionally, all the people breaking down Clicks shops and attacking it's employees, should be charged. How is this matter of protesting correct? This is just damaging and won't help solve the problem. This is a part of our country's problem.

    I dont see what the big deal is, its a add not made by Clicks. And yes, fair enough, Clicks should have made sure that the content was "socially acceptable" before uploading. Being "socially acceptable" nowadays seems to be the norm, regardless of it being the truth or the right way of doing things. If anybody thinks Unilever feels anything for you, you got another thing coming.You suspend or fire the staff responsible for uploading this, but what is the EFF doing to the people responsible for creating the add? To the EFF, you spend so much energy on protesting, looting and damaging Clicks stores and property, why not take that pent up energy, go to Letuli House and demand the millions or is it billions of rands lost by our government? Again, ppl are selective in what they deem correct. Almost seems as if they are "paid" to do certain things. If any of you think the eff are in your corner, you got another thing coming. This for the EFF and any politcal party is a way of gaining public favor, nothing more. It it not the dream of most woman to have long flowing straight hair? Look at this link, check out the image, and you will see, that even Julius Malema appreciates long straight hair.
    www.bona.co.za/mantwa-and-julius-malema-celebrate-their-third-wedding-anniversary/
    Take a 30 minute walk through any African city, and you will see how many "black" woman want long flowing straight hair. So they would rather adorn themselves with someone elses long straight black hair by wearing a weave, than buying a product that can offers to get there own hair straight and shiny LOL. Comon man ppl, get off your high horse, there are more pressing matters to attend to.
    The EFF wants all Clicks stores to close for so many days, what happens after that? Can anybody tell me what is going to happen after Clicks closes its doors for a few days? Will that make things better again?
    To Julius Malema, show yourself here, show the people how you stand for them. Take your members and protest, protest against corruption, looting of coffers for all the billions lost during the past 20 odd years. SHOW US EFF that you stand for the people.

    Fine, and flat hair is not a compliment either. I know girls with fine, and flat hair, and they complain a lot about it, while I complain about my dry, and damaged hair. The hair relaxer really damage my hair, but if I don't use it, my hair gets so hard, I can't get a comb through it, without a lot of pain. So, the advert made me aware, that I should make time to give my hair oil treatments as well. I see absolutely nothing wrong with the ad, but girls, and women with low self-esteem, and a hair complex, will always take everything about hair, personal. Sad.
    What people should do, is just not buy from Clicks, and make their own products. What a good idea I got, because of the ad. I'm gonna check out, how to make my own beauty products.

      Joh Gries i surely see where you coming from and your reasoning does bring logic . We living in tough and very sensitive times of which we have to tip toe around conversations, topics, race and etc. In my opinion they were to make the AD do comparisons of say healthy And Unhealthy hair of all races that makes South Africa united.
      So I can see how some will have looked at it and say but why is it that in two different examples the same person has sort of bad hair. But it’s good to have a healthy and progressing dialogue while also teaching people to be mindful. Maybe the panel at clicks who are black has good hair and it’s maybe they didn’t see how it might offend majority of people as it was not a uniting factor having such an AD but for the consumer it would make sense.
      I also think some black woman like their hair as Afro, Dred or just natural so it’s a choice of which an AD such as that will trigger people. I have no political ties as I believe in just my own opinion being debated by someone else’s opinion. Thanks for the share and your input mate, we can only learn and better our thinking.

It goes to show that "hair language" only complements white people's hair, and if people actually got a bit of knowledge on black hair then they would realize that that image of her hair isnt even damaged nor is it dry it's a standard afro but of course because shes black... let's generalize it as dry and damaged, this is deeper than just the clicks ad, there's been instances where at some schools teacher complain about the way our NATURAL hair grows.

      First. Racism is obviously a problem and as a united S.A. we should always stand against it. White, black, coloured, indian, asian... We all experience racism towards us in different ways (expecially in SA) and it is good when we stand together against it.
      Second. When the photo was originally made. I can promise you it was innocent. (Go look at the advert, most people don't even know what the advert looks like)
      Clicks is a level 2 BEE company. This means that almost everyone who works there is black. In fact, it was revealed that the marketing team who made the photo was multiracial and the manager who approved it was of coloured decent. There is no doubt in my mind that this photo was never intended to be racist.
      So why are people freaking out about it?
      2 reasons:
      First we must understand the underlying psychological nature of racism.
      It is like a "plant" that grows within peoples minds.
      Whenever arguments occur (like the one about clicks) people are forced to focus on race & think of racial issues. They are forced to choose sides & found their believes in the various narratives placed around them in order to reach closure.
      This process inevitably waters the "plant" of racism within us, allowing racism to spread and grow.
      In other words, by making a "fuss" over what was inherently a innocent advert. Everyone is now forced to contemplate the advert in a racial way. And they are now convinced the advert was a racial attack and they feel hurt.
      It is like when a young daughter wants to always sit on her fathers lap. It is sweet and innocent until somebody makes a digusting/inappropriate comment. Suddenly the whole room is forced to feel uncomfortable, and we are forced to look at a innocent act in a dark way.
      So where am I getting at?
      Well... The point that I want to reach is that nobody would've even bothered to consider the advert as a racial attack, if people were not so racially obsessed in the first place.
      This psychological phenomena is unfortunately fuelled by the various politcal narratives parties like the ANC, EFF, FV+ and recently the DA always use to gather voters.
      And now we reach the second reason... The EFF has hijacked the narrative to do some good old fashioned sheep farming.
      The EFF gathers the majority of its voters (the sheep) by enflaming and prodding feelings of race and identity in order to manipulate them.
      Once the EFF has sufficiently made people upset enough. The EFF provides a narrative that gives false closure (remember what I wrote above) and promotes the political agenda that makes them look good. It will always feed a narrative along the lines of:
      "There is a oppressor (usually whites but sometimes indians or asians) who seeks to harm and steal from the innocent & oppressed (in this case often black people). All others (ANC, DA, corporations, etc) are in league with the oppressors & are traitors and cannot be trusted. Only we can be trusted ( the EFF). You can only vote for us if you want justice."
      The above example is a classic manipulation strategy that has been used by almost all dictators in the past to wrestle for power. In fact. It is exactly what hitler did to come into power.
      Hitler had a narrative like this:
      "There is a oppressor (Jews, non-arians, communists) who seeks to harm and steal from the innocent & oppressed (in this case the true german people, the arians). All others (politcal parties, countries, corporations, etc) are in league with the oppressors & are traitors and cannot be trusted. Only we can be trusted ( the nazis). You can only vote for us if you want justice."
      Malema does step for step what every dictator of the past has done for power. But he does not care about the people...
      The EFF was silent and showed poor leadership in these past times with corona virus, the vbs money they stole, corruption, and the well justified protests by coloured people on their political treatment.
      And now that the 2021 elections are around the corner, they do the same classic sheep farming they have done since the party was founded.
      So this is the second reason people are upset. They are being manipulated by a cunt in a red hat for some cheap and easy votes

      Fact is, predominantly white women suffers from frail soft flat hair, not black woman. Fact is predominantly black women suffers with dry damaged hair, to a lesser extend white woman as well. With both white and black woman you will also find good healthy hair. The advert focused on different hair types found on different ethnic types. They offer a solution for different types of problems. That’s the facts. Both white and black woman do a lot of damage to their hair trying to achieve a specific style or color. White woman by dying their hair and black woman with products such as relaxers etc. Why keeping the EFF aside now? Julius took the matter in his own hands using it as a political tool for all the wrong reasons. Did he or any EFF member or supporter look at the long term implications of the action? If Clicks has to close down who will suffer the most? The majority of the workforce is non white people! So is this in anybody’s good interest? So people like me have a long way to go in this country? Nope, I think you got it all wrong. If an advert of any kind on any platform cause any form of sorrow or injustice by implication the affected person(s) can go to the advertising board and lay a formal complain. That is what they are therefore. This is not even a place or a platform for any political party to get involved with. But as usual, here in SA, when common sense and logic is absent the old rusted worn out race card is played.

Except they got it wrong by using good looking models - both of whom don't have '' bad'' hair - just so their photo's would look fab with their brand.

It has never been so down, but USA economy is increasing in the midst of covid, people are gaining their jobs back in USA.
      Good Presidency is shown by the economy not by talking political jagons and failing to fix the escom crisis

I'm further disappointed by Clicks because, as an ex-loyal customer I used to admire their hair care aisle because it has the widest variety of ethnic hair products and alot of them are local brands. I'm taking a break from them and shopping from Dischem.

They paid that model a lot of money. Or should black people not show their beauty. You get the most beautiful black prople and they could be models. Now you say no take black people of.

Or use the same hair products. I have very frizzy and thick hair. And at the moment a bit damaged end. I want something for it. And I will look for something for it. A advert. I will use the advert for damaged dry hair. The black woman's advert. My friend has fine(THIN) hair. And no one likes fine(thin) hair. She is looking for volume. Thicker look at least. She hates her hair. So do everyone that have fine(thin) hair. This product will help with their problem. She will use the white woman's advert. And all of the models get money. From the models to the product on the shelf. That includes the factory workers and everything are paid here. Not just clicks that is losing their jobs. Even the factory might close. This is much bigger then everyone thinks. Not just clicks worker.
