Seven-Year-Old Finds Offensive Label On Couch
Thursday April 5, 2007
It's not often that an item intended to induce relaxation causes this much stress. But when Doris Moore's seven-year-old daughter discovered an
inappropriate label on a couch she just bought, kicking back and relaxing on the piece of furniture was the farthest thing from her mind.
The little girl approached her mom after discovering a label on the dark brown couch that listed the colour as "nigger brown".
Moore was understandably shocked.
"For me to buy couches and then the colour coming under that, nigger brown, I was floored," she said.
The couch was purchased as a store called Vaniak Furniture, but the manager, Romesh Kumar, claims he knew nothing about the label, saying it's a
problem with the supplier.
For Moore, and her family, who are from Ghana it's difficult to fathom how such an offensive word could find its way on to a piece of furniture.
"With slavery and what happened to us and the words they called us, it hits home," she said.
Moore is filing a complaint with the Ontario Human Rights Commission and she wants the word taken off the furniture.
A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s
a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal
favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.
- Paul Morris, music director at 97.7 HTZ-FM
