Blackface and redface at the same time- that’s some very efficient racism.
Actually reddit has informed me painting half your face red when dressing as a native American makes it not racist.
Also worth noting that black is not one of the teams colors.
Or, and this is probably vastly more likely considering this is a photo of a literal child, he just wanted to wear face paint in the team colors and is not intentionally facilitating racist ideals. It is possible that your brain is rotten.
Ok, the child is wearing a caricature of an indigenous American because the team’s mascot is a racist caricature, because American culture is so vile that white people like to do victory dances on top of mass graves. This country is so evil we instill racism into children by way of silly games and costumes of genocide victims. This child is a victim of racist indoctrination. A sensible society would sit down with this kid and explain racism to them, then hopefully we’d give every child an education on liberation, decolonization, and Marxism.
Death to America.
Is that better?
See, that’s the rub, the Chiefs’ mascot is a wolf. The whole “dress up as caricatures of Natives at games” thing is a homebrewed fan thing.
Also this was an away game because at home games you’re not allowed to wear that shit because everybody realizes how fucking racist it is.
They don’t extend that train of thought and change the team name but that’s another discussion.
I’ve noticed that the Chiefs get nowhere near the flak that the teams formerly known as the removed and Indians got, less than the Braves as well. Something about the “title not ethnicity” name and the anthropomorphic mascot keeps them out of the line of fire.
Not having a literal slur for a name or a racist charactiture for a mascot seems like a low bar but other teams managed to trip dick first over it.
I mean it’s all marketing and the owner probably thinks it’ll be more expensive to change it completely than just minimize any racist connections. Though honestly changing names and logos sounds like an awesome way to bleed more money out of fans as they are encouraged to buy another jersey, hat, etc.
They also have a very racist arm chop and chant thing they do to “evoke” native-ness that gets very little scrutiny despite being so obviously offensive
That was originally a thing with Braves fans, Chiefs fans copied it. So it’s the Braves fans that get criticized for it.
the Chiefs’
dog their mascot might be a wolf but with the name and logo idk that you can call putting a fake headress and black/redface just a ‘homebrewed fan’ thing
My point was that the comment made it sound like a Native American caricature was their mascot and I was correcting that. Obviously there’s still problematic things with the Chiefs marketing. Metaphorically, it’s like the Klan hosting a meeting on a dude’s lawn because he has one of those racist lawn jockeys on it.
lmao great analogy
The child isn’t the one intentionally facilitating racist ideals, his parents who dressed him up or allowed him to dress up in that racist get-up are
Imagine being so brain-broken that you think it’s appropriate to dress a child as a racist caricature
Fuck outta here with that bullshit racist apologia
Wearing the colours of the team as face paint is fine, if it is not combined with the fucking feathered headdress that is sold in every fucking costume store in every western country. It’s very clearly meant to evoke the look of a native american, even a non-american can see that. And nobody here is suggesting that the kid face any kind of consequence, we just think that it’s emblamatic of a shitty society that litteral children are dressed like that.
Also the chiefs colors are red and yellow so the black face is absolutely not part of the team’s colors.
So they’re communists not syndicalists!
Look at the headpiece, moron
“We’re not being racist against black people, we’re being racist against Native Americans”
This was literally the argument
“All you snowflakes said he was racist but actually he painted half his face red when dressing up as a native american. Bet you feel silly.”
“and black people”
…imagine thinking this wasn’t racist af
How can it be racist if I am entertained? Are you calling me a racist? Well… that’s a pretty racist thing to say to me, you racist.
Yeah this is mega offensive bro. What, you little punk kid, you thought you could go to a sports game and wear some face paint? Nah, you fucking eleven year old colonizer, you’re fucking racist and you’re personally responsible for the genocide of native Americans. I am morally superior and smart.
Oooh, cute piggie cums in your mouth
I am morally superior and smart.
Thank you for admitting it, always good to see you
realize the truthThe child (likely) is not racist, society around him is, which makes him think this is fine, don’t know what to tell you mate
“As we all know it’s perfectly fine for an eleven-year-old to be racist, it’s a normal state of affairs that shouldn’t be questioned, and nothing negative can be said about a child being poisoned by racist ideology, it’s just something you woke commies have to accept mkay”
kill yourself you stupid racist fuck
Were we supposed to look at the first and think “blackface!? That’s bad!” But when we look at the second we say “oh, it isnt blackface at all, this is a not-racist and not-fucked thing”?
I couldn’t figure out what EndlessWoke was trying to suggest was the difference between the pictures, I’m still not sure the answer is “blackface” lol.
I think it’s Musk who’s suggesting that blackface is the difference.
Fuckin’ media, only covering the anarcho side of anarcho-communism
Honestly, blackface didn’t even cross my mind. I genuinely didn’t know what they were mad about.
Noted not-media outlet, Twitter
It’s not “media” if it favors the right: the default state of correctness.
Yeah that makes it soo much better
: “W4TCH M0AR FOX! YEW SHULD KNOW DAT RACISM AINT REEL AND DAT ITZ ACTULEE GUD! DANG CAW-MIE!”Billions must shut the fuck up.
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Racist? He’s clearly honoring the anarcho-communist indigenous resistance fighters from the KC (Kill Capitalism) nation.
oh if only
The thing about headdresses is that each feather is like a medal of honor. You have to earn them and having a full one like that takes years that very few people ever reach. You could say that people wearing those factory produced abominations are practicing stolen valor.
Rules watching the Eagles demolish them at the end a few weeks ago
He’s cool with it because the colors are separated
