"slave Earings"

Bet you never thought an earring could be racist, eh? Well, ha! Aren’t you silly! Fashion has gone and proved you wrong yet again, with Vogue Italia trivialising the slave trade for a feature on earrings. That’s right, earrings are, like, totally involved in the history of slavery. Didn’t learn that at GCSE, did you?
The offending piece was a feature on so-called slave earrings, or large gold hoops as us non-racists like to call them. The heading “Slave earrings” was accompanied by a write-up that both trivialises and glamorises slavery:
“If the name brings to the mind the decorative traditions of the women of colour who were brought to the southern United States during the slave trade, the latest interpretation is pure freedom”

There is absolutely nothing fashionable about the history of enslaved Africans. African women were not 'brought' to the US; they were captured, raped, beaten and taken against their will in chains.
