Man Utd striker Romelu Lukaku hits back at H&M 'racist' hoodie advert

The original photo showed the black child model wearing a green sweatshirt with the caption: "Coolest monkey in the jungle" on the front. Lukaku, 24, who has more than 2.3m Instagram followers, wrote: "You're prince soon to be a king. Don't let anybody tell you different... #blackexcellence". The post received more than 150,000 likes in less than 12 hours. 

This hoodie promoted by H&M was only picture on a black boy and the other styles with other writing styles on them was picture with other models of other complexion. As a young viewer seeing this post I am quite offended to a point where i can see a direct message being sent out by the company which this young child may not be old enough to understand but to the other African/American culture this is seen as quite offensive.
