FCKH8 claims that money from their T-shirts go toward various activist causes. Recently, they produced a line of T-shirts with phrases like “RACISM ISN’T OVER BUT I’M OVER RACISM.” They said that $5 of each shirt sale go toward nonprofit groups like Race Forward, among others. But that isn’t true. On their Facebook page, Race Forward made a post in September which states, “It has been brought to our attention that outlets have been reporting our affiliation with Synergy Media and FCKH8. Race Forward has never received any money from Synergy Media nor do we have an agreement with the company or FCKH8 campaign. To be clear, Race Forward would not accept any proceeds from this effort.” In short, FCKH8 lied about what was happening with the profits made off of various T-shirts. While they no longer claim that they donate to Race Forward, the fact that they spread false information about their finances is still unethical and should not be ignored just because they say they’ve given money elsewhere. They lied in the first place and could easily lie again.
