Home improvement maker Home Depot Inc. on Thursday
apologized for a tweet that showed a picture of two African-American drummers
with a person in a gorilla mask in between them and asked: “Which drummer is
not like the others?”
The tweet, from Home Depot’s official Twitter account,
@HomeDepot, was part of a “College Gameday” college football promotion on ESPN.
It was quickly pulled, but not before people took screen shots of it and it was
widely circulated on social media. NBC and CNBC, among others, reported on the
Tweet.
The Home Depot, Inc. (HD), with a current value of $108.11B,
opened at $75.28. During the trading session, HD traded between $74.78 to
$75.71 with a one year range of $60.21 to $81.56. Read more.
