Yeah that pisses me off yet they steal our styles and the minute we claim it back it's ghetto smh anything tied to use is labeled that and our own people don't help it when they agree with the Yt folks smh.
I mean. The way 'hood rich' folks wear stuff with the label name HUGE. Stuff that don't even really look good but the brand name is on it. 😂 I feel like if 'hood rich' was more subtle maybe then things wouldn't be considered ghetto
I'm white and its so weird that whenever anyone black wears or does ANYTHING they call it ghetto. Everyone wears leggings and yoga pants people are weird!
I swore a few years ago the owner or CEO basically said they don’t make there clothes for black people so i just don’t understand why black women continue to wear this brand
It’s not that black women wear it. It’s what they are doing while they are wearing it. I’ll be honest. I have the same thoughts about dolce and gabanna and Micheal kors. But at the same time that’s why I love them. It’s kind of urbanized
@@CoffeeCuties777 well I see fights, twerk vids, club vids posted with women in lululemon. I’ve seen more than one vid posted about this brand and that was the main argument vs people being upset that the person was black. It was the behaviors associated with it
Lululemon isn’t just selling leggings-leggings are everywhere. They’re selling a status, a lifestyle, an image. Once that image gets tied to something undesirable, it loses its appeal, and people move on to brands that haven’t been ghettofied like Alo :)
Black women wearing nice things isn’t ghetto-fying their brand, black women are allowed to like/wear nice things, doesn’t mean it’s ghetto and anyone who thinks so is an ignorant racist full stop
That's hilarious. Didnt know people were so self righteous about over priced plastic synthetic fabric. You'd think people would at least be crashing out over silk or cashmere or something. And it wasnt ghetto when white women were making adult content in LuluLemon for years, but it is now?
I walked into a lululemon store not knowing the brand. I just thought it was a regular clothing store. First of all everyone in there was like a white, blonde hair skinny woman, and all the workers were looking at me like "wtf is she doing in here". I see a cute workout set and look at the price it was like $200 for the entire set and the material isn't even high quality. If im gonna get a nice workout set i'll go to nike. But i get my exercise clothes from amazon and tjmaxx and i get so many compliments on them. People are just paying for a stupud logo and getting ripped off. 😂
@chillikilli wow smh 🤦🏾♀️ sorry you were treated that way but unfortunately I’m not surprised and to the @sixfives I prefer Althea too if I’m going to buy higher end🤎
Had a guy asking if i were single in my Amazon lounge/work out clothes, we don't need lulu lemon 🗣️. I went to website to see the hype, its not all that and the selection is small
Lululemon and other brands that feel/think that way toward Black people especially Black women can keep their products while I keep my money and spend it elsewhere preferably with a Black owned brand ✌🏿
@@CoffeeCuties777 it was called " 30 & Gold". I bought a lot of fits from them some years ago but I just tried to look them up and their site no longer exists.
My first thought wasn’t that lululemon is ghetto, but that it’s rather childish. Considering its main consumers are now children. I’m starting to get the same sentiments for Sephora actually. Lululemon may have started as a status/standard of living symbol, but not anymore. And that’s not because of black women imo.
How does it make sense that a brand with pants alone being over $100 and a makeup store selling expensive YSL and Tom Ford makeup is for children? Children making TikTok content in the store or buying a lookalike product from DH Gate is not the same as the store being for children. Like what? They can’t afford it nor is it marketed towards them. How is it for them?
@@Sunshine16584 Because they’re the ones being associated with it. They’re the ones populating the stores and dominating the in-house experience. They’re the ones with zero regulations. It’s either ‘for kids’ or ‘not for kids’. Absolutely no one is formally or informally saying ‘it’s not for kids’ as a collective. Some people care and others couldn’t care less. It’s theirs. Association matters-it bends the dollar. Such is the topic of this video. Plenty of grown women and young adults don’t want that association. Not with kids, any more than they do with ghetto people. We’re no longer respected as primary consumers for Sephora. It would be one thing if Sephora took its own stand in the matter by setting in-house regulations (like kicking them out if not accompanied by an adult, disclaimers that these products were not designed for child use, create a kids version of the store with kid’s products, etc.) but they haven’t spoken a word. You know what they have done? Put out more products in the store that are actually marketed towards kids. They’re following their dollar. They’re accommodating their dollar, and those accommodations are not ‘for adults’. They’re for kids.
I get my leggings from Old Navy when they have a good sale. They fit amazingly, are well made, the quality of the fabric is great and the price is right.
@ I’ve been a faithful Old Navy customer since 1995. I still have jeans from 2006 that have faded, but still fit and don’t have any wear and tear. If I iron them, they still look new. I love Old Navy!
I wear hand me downs because the people that I get it from had style. I also go to ross or goodwill if I really find something that matches me. Overall I don't buy that much clothing because I want to be more minimalistic, eco-friendly and overall cheap going forward in the future. not a brand girly because if you sew or know anything about fashion it's mostly about the fabric and/or the quality of the clothing, not the price.
I don't know anyone in the US who would buy them unless they saw them at a consignment store or charity shop brand new with tags deeply dicounted and they liked the fit. Even then most people would leave them there.
I have a few lululemon pieces but I don’t bust down the door for them. I liked the quality that some cheaper brands don’t have. My priorities are just not there anymore. But like you said, none of these brands have us in mind.
I might have an unpopular opinion but i didn't get 'anti-black' from the former CEO's statement. I got classism and body-type discrimination. But he honestly told no lies. Lululemon is supposed to be an inspirational lifestyle brand for a very speicifc type of woman. I think wealthy, well-spoken, slim, pilates class going (before it was mainstream), stabucks-drinking, sorority pletching girlies. I don't personally really associate those things with being white though. I associate them with class.
I have the same unpopular opinion. He came at Asians specifically but I don’t see them on here saying too much. It’s always BP with the oppression olympics.
Trust me, if you have ever worked in corporate retail, or any kind of design firm, or design house, those companies want your wallet. They don't care what you look like. They don't care about race. They just want your money, and they want you to buy in to their branding. That alone is reason enough to avoid brands like this. If you really want a fancy brand, do what I do. Find where the rich people live. Then find the closest Goodwill or Salvation Army or consignment store. Ask the employees at the secondhand stores when the rich people drop off their clothes, because they generally replaced their entire wardrobes every season. Once you know when that is, go buy all of their stuff for $10.❤❤
I never cared about Lulu or Skims! People want to fit in and that’s why they wear it for the most part! It’s the same as designer brands or labels. Most people wear it for some kind of status symbol!
I follow this amazing creator who swears by Lululemon and she's black, a pharmacy student and the FURTHEST thing from ghetto But hey, I'm glad I never bought into the hype, especially not for something I'm heavily gonna sweat in 😂
Can we please watch where we spend OUR money going forward. Our economic power is worth something. Why shop where you’re not wanted and looked down on? After Nov 5th start saving, buying necessities and speaking with your money. Just saying🤷🏾♀️ Stay safe and blessed ladies.
Ghetto basically means "trashy". There are trashy people in all races including in the black race. In my opinion, it's less about race and more about the mannerism and behavior of certain people that others don't want to be associated with. I'll be honest, as a black woman, I don't like the way some of us act and present ourselves. Some of us act uncouth and I don't think it's anti black to say that. I think it's more anti black to never hold each other to a higher standard.
I agree they’re are “ghetto” or “trashy” people in every race but this particular person was referring to black women and I agree we should hold each other in high regard but I don’t feel like gatekeeping who should wear a luxury brand that was not made for us is the way to do it🤎
I get that the idea of Lululemon is aspirational, but WHY? I mean, they've colonized yoga and selling it back to a public that has no idea about its history or practice or the very people who actually created it. The CEO made it clear that BW bodies (as well as plus sized women) weren't his demographic. I am a firm believer in Maya Angelou's saying about when people tell you who they are the first time, believe them. Why should any BW give their hard-earned money to any company that doesn't value them? Not to mention, from everything I've read about the company, it's more like a cult than a fashion brand (eew), and I've read the quality of the fabric has been substandard for quite a while. I know there are Black owned athleisure companies that we SHOULD be supporting. As far as the "ghetto-fication" of Lululemon, that label gets slapped on any luxury brand whenever too many Black people start buying it. The only time I can remember that term not being used was with the popularity of the Chrysler 300 when damn near every rap/hip hop artist had one. Chrysler was smart, they just went with it, and part of the reason why the company didn't go under. Unlike Tommy Hilfiger and Michael Kors. I see more TH clothing at Marshall's and Ross than at their flagship stores. I read financial reports that both Hilfiger and Kors do better at outlet malls too. That says a lot.
You made so many great points and I completely agree and I remember the Chrysler being the “it” car at one point..like you said they did it right and more brands should understand the buying power black people have if they want to succeed but ultimately I wish we could pour all that money back into our own brands🤎🤎🤎
Yeah because who is lulu and why her lemons so dang expensive 😂.. never heard of it until now. Chile bye! I be done went to Wally world and got me some workout stuff to workout in .. and why people so concerned with what we wear anyhow... Lol and she my color over trying to classify somebody...😂😂😂😂 I know she did not 😅
I’m a black woman that’s a nurse and I got 1- pair of lulu leggings and 1- shirt ONLY because someone gave me a gift card. I would NEVA really go to that store that ish cost to much and is basic as heck‼️ I have some leggings off of Amazon that I wore before I got the gift card and I said these feel like my Amazon leggings and later found out it was the dupes for them. I personally don’t think they are a dupe but the same leggings just white labeled……. Ain’t nothing special about lulu
I used to love my super cute pink Lululemon water bottle, but I got rid of it because the brand has really lost its appeal-it’s honestly ghetto now. It’s starting to feel like the Victoria’s Secret Pink brand and Bath & body Works. Had to switch brands.
A couple years ago my daughter's father bought her a pair of Lululemon leggings and I was flabbergasted! It was strictly due to the name! Who's paying $130 for some leggings that look like something I can get from Walmart!!! After having a talk with her and showing her that Walmart had the same leggings for a fraction of the cost, she's had a change of heart!
Had no idea 🤷♀️ I been in my Walmart danskin leggings and everything else in that section lol coming from someone that actually works out and not just wearing the clothes for the hell of it 😂 they all do the same thing
If someone feels one up’ed by someone wearing activewear that’s literally a personal problem. BP can wear nice brands it doesn’t matter if other BP can’t afford it.
That maybe the motivation for some but like sunshine said if a person allow materialistic things to allow you to feel one up’ed you may need to explore the reasoning behind it 🤎
@@MsShana8806 Regardless, whatever people want to spend their money on be it cheap or expensive that’s their business and they have that right. However this convo only happens around BP & luxury/expensive items. Never cheap items. They don’t have to limit themselves because other people can’t afford it.
My husband bought me a lululemon outfit for my birthday.. I saw those price tags and made him take it back! And we are not poor; those prices made me angry.
I trying to figure out does she wear lulu and saw other BE wearing it and figure oh no I can't be too closely associated with BW. Yall shouldn't be able to afford this this like I can. And if she does where then then she should stop as well cause she's contributing to a problem she States is there. Idk the internet is annoying.
I’ve known about LuLu since it first came out when I was in 8th or 9th grade. I grew up in the suburbs so even tweens were wearing it and I always thought it was overpriced garbage. Much like most of the non statement pieces at BCBG. A lot of these “expensive” brands are really just the same fast fashion clothes as forever and fn but the higher end brands pick “slightly” better pieces.
Didn’t Lulu have a controversy where the leggings were see through 👀 I thought that’s why some people stopped wearing them 🧐 people forget the billions of dollars black people spend as a community every year.
Trust me ain’t nobody ghetto wearing lululemon that shit is to expensive to even relate the two. SHEIN and temu has really nice stuff and very affordable, I’m sorry I’m not spending my money on lululemon for 118$ tights and I can get the same shit on SHEIN for 12-18$ uh uh and IM BLACK
This is my first time watching a faceless "reporter" and it was...... different. I'll probably watch another video on the same topic and see how I feel.
Regarding the original poster 1 Maccabees 1:15 (KJV) "And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief." Regarding the founders comments. Psalms 106:41 "And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them." Ephesians 5:6 (KJV) "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience." Like you said it are just activewear. Nothing special 💜
Tommy Hilfiger said something similar in the 90s. I never wore his brand again. I was gonna get me some lululemons but nevermind. I'll just stick to Fabletics.
That’s been debunked. Supposedly he never said that. If it wasn’t for Black ppl, he never would have gotten the brand off the ground. He himself would give his clothes to the youngsters in NYC so they would wear it as free advertising. I remember that. So I don’t think he said that.

I used to love my super cute pink Lululemon water bottle, but I got rid of it because the brand has really lost its appeal-it’s honestly ghetto now. It’s starting to feel like the Victoria’s Secret Pink brand and Bath & body Works. Had to switch brands.
Why do you feel it’s ghetto now?
Lululemon was never anything special but boring clothes
I agree🤎
@@CoffeeCuties777 the people can't be that dumb to buy some mundane black t-shirt and lululemon sells it for up to 1,000 dollars
A couple years ago my daughter's father bought her a pair of Lululemon leggings and I was flabbergasted! It was strictly due to the name! Who's paying $130 for some leggings that look like something I can get from Walmart!!! After having a talk with her and showing her that Walmart had the same leggings for a fraction of the cost, she's had a change of heart!
Oh no they gon b coming for my Athleta next! 😱lol
Lol 😂
Indeed I get my leggings from Amazon😂
So another yt billionaire that indeed doesn’t care about BP lol.
No lulu fa me
Fabletics works fine for me, for workout attire 👍🏾✌🏾
Had no idea 🤷♀️ I been in my Walmart danskin leggings and everything else in that section lol coming from someone that actually works out and not just wearing the clothes for the hell of it 😂 they all do the same thing
I agree🤎🤎🤎
We black ppl know that brand wasn't designed for us, we use stuff like lululemon to one up our own ppl who cannot afford,
If someone feels one up’ed by someone wearing activewear that’s literally a personal problem. BP can wear nice brands it doesn’t matter if other BP can’t afford it.
That maybe the motivation for some but like sunshine said if a person allow materialistic things to allow you to feel one up’ed you may need to explore the reasoning behind it 🤎
@@Sunshine16584 Nice doesn't always have to mean expensive.
@CoffeeCuties777 The internet is filled with overconsumption. People like to show off their things, and that's ok for them.
@@MsShana8806 Regardless, whatever people want to spend their money on be it cheap or expensive that’s their business and they have that right. However this convo only happens around BP & luxury/expensive items. Never cheap items. They don’t have to limit themselves because other people can’t afford it.
I didn’t even know what lululemon was until recently and I still don’t get the hype 🤷🏽♀️
My husband bought me a lululemon outfit for my birthday.. I saw those price tags and made him take it back! And we are not poor; those prices made me angry.
lol 😂 great decision …the price is ridiculous 🤎
I trying to figure out does she wear lulu and saw other BE wearing it and figure oh no I can't be too closely associated with BW. Yall shouldn't be able to afford this this like I can. And if she does where then then she should stop as well cause she's contributing to a problem she States is there. Idk the internet is annoying.
I threw out all my llululemon because they use psfas in their material, esp around the yoni! 😮
I buy them for 10 at dhgate 😂 im not paying those ridiculously prices for leggings no thanks!
10.00? Wow 😮 I gotta check it out🤎
I’ve known about LuLu since it first came out when I was in 8th or 9th grade. I grew up in the suburbs so even tweens were wearing it and I always thought it was overpriced garbage. Much like most of the non statement pieces at BCBG. A lot of these “expensive” brands are really just the same fast fashion clothes as forever and fn but the higher end brands pick “slightly” better pieces.
Wow tweens in lulu is wild not going to lie but I agree it’s just fast fashion🤎
Didn’t Lulu have a controversy where the leggings were see through 👀 I thought that’s why some people stopped wearing them 🧐 people forget the billions of dollars black people spend as a community every year.
I didn’t know this!
Yes you are right, they were see through and women weren't wearing underwear so you could see their puss.
It’s expensive and I’ve found other brands appealing 🤷♀️
What do you wear instead?
Lululemon to the world😂😂😂
Trust me ain’t nobody ghetto wearing lululemon that shit is to expensive to even relate the two. SHEIN and temu has really nice stuff and very affordable, I’m sorry I’m not spending my money on lululemon for 118$ tights and I can get the same shit on SHEIN for 12-18$ uh uh and IM BLACK
I agree🤎🤎🤎
How is it getto is leggings wtf some are so weirdos
I agree🤎
Skims arent cheap now what is she talking about and 😂😂😂
Right lol 😂
Doesn't Kelly Rowland have an athletic wear line?
I’m not sure if it’s her brand or if she’s just a brand ambassador 🤎🤎🤎
Yall need to stop with this “ Ghetto” foolishness. All it does is perpetuate the strep type around the community.
How are u a workout brand that doesn’t have all sizes 🤯
Because we don’t need another brand making 7x. Savage Fenty has that covered. Let regular size people have things.
Less desirable for him perhaps.. When it comes to desirability we good over here. Trust. 😏
💯🤎🤎🤎
This is my first time watching a faceless "reporter" and it was...... different. I'll probably watch another video on the same topic and see how I feel.
lol 😂 well thanks for watching and if you check out more videos I’m sure you’ll enjoy them also if it helps any that is me in my profile picture lol 😂
Regarding the original poster
1 Maccabees 1:15 (KJV)
"And made themselves uncircumcised, and forsook the holy covenant, and joined themselves to the heathen, and were sold to do mischief."
Regarding the founders comments.
Psalms 106:41
"And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them."
Ephesians 5:6 (KJV)
"Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience."
Like you said it are just activewear. Nothing special 💜
🤎🤎🤎
Nah, not when the newly opened a flagship store in Oakland 😅
Oh wow I didn’t know that🤎
I never heard of them.
You’re not missing out on anything lol 😂
Yes girl a 5 dollar good pair of quality leggings from old navy. Then can keep their LuLu Le-Mon 🐩 and go broke. Ta-ta kiss-kiss my ass
lol 😂 I agree🤎
Yall mad ppl calling yall GHETTO FOR WALKING AROUND IN BONNETS AND WORK OUT GEAR 😅
I haven’t seen anyone with LULULEMON and bonnets…like they stated in the video they actually associate it to women who don’t fit that asethetic 🤎
@@CoffeeCuties777 Not where I live 🤷🏾♀️
its 50/50 for me.
Can you elaborate a little more?
Aren’t you saying that black women can’t be stick thin?
Wait why did the diversity controversy get more traction than the child labor endorsement
Walking around in work out gear and not working out is GHETTO
What about when people wear it to be comfortable but still put together for traveling ?
@CoffeeCuties777 People can wear things how they please, but those are still workout clothes.
Original video ruclips.net/video/4WzCYxbk4bs/видео.htmlsi=dZTvfxXV-EbXtnMq
Oh cool! I didn’t see her video I originally saw it going viral on TikTok …I’ll check out her video as well🤎
🤮🤮🤮
Tommy Hilfiger said something similar in the 90s. I never wore his brand again. I was gonna get me some lululemons but nevermind. I'll just stick to Fabletics.
That’s for reminding me about Tommy Hilfiger I remember that know smh 🤦🏾♀️
That’s been debunked. Supposedly he never said that. If it wasn’t for Black ppl, he never would have gotten the brand off the ground. He himself would give his clothes to the youngsters in NYC so they would wear it as free advertising. I remember that. So I don’t think he said that.
He actually didn't! Lol I just found out it's one of the internet's biggest rumors
