What the fuck is it with these really awful blackface designs lately
their source is 1 tweet with 6 likes nobody thinks this is blackface, there's probably no backlash. stop minimizing real, harmful blackface by comparing it to designer shit that is 100% obviously not even close to blackface.
Yeah but think of all the clicks i can get if I'm a first mover on making a big deal about the next thing shoved down everyones throat.
Remember when journalists started reporting on all these obscure "challenges" that barely anyone even knew about during the hysteria following the tide pod challenge? It's the same shit.
I understand why would that person write such a bullshit article based on 2 tweets that had 0 likes/retweets. What I don't understand is why would you repost it here.
It sort of looks similar, but that's kind of silly. About as silly as the design in general, fuck me that looks stupid.
It doesn't look like blackface but now that someone thought that it is, people will now make dumb comparisons to it and will miss the point. The real issue is how fucking Goofy and awful they look. Those are beyond the what are those!!! shoes
Imagine how fucking tryhard you'd have to be to actually wear this
These come in different colors, just unfortunate and really really really bad design. Can't believe this is what Katy gets backlash for, I remember when she hung out with DJ Mano and Virgil Abloh and she would keep saying "my niggas" despite Mano asking her to stop multiple times.
It's a shitty Mrs. Potato head
ugly shoes regardless
This one was two years ago.
looks like cheap mass produced shit
I think that this is an advertising campaign to bring attention to the product.
At this rate you could probably do a literal blackface and just say its promo for the product and nobody will bat an eye due to the amount of 'blackface' products showing up in the news
Are you kidding me? this country has lost their minds
"Hahaha yes I'm proudly going to show-off how much I hate the libtards and the blackies by wearing shoes that look like racist caricatures of the blackies in the past to mock them" If this was even a blackface and a voluntary one at that, what is the point?
arent you guys the racist one for thinking it looks like an black person ? what if its person in gimp outfit ?
Or a bad trip in Peewee's Playhouse.
if not a hate crime, then definitely a fashion crime. They straight up took a mediocre pair of shoes and glued faces on them. Were the designs drawn in crayon?
This pity racism shit has to stop, not everything is some offensive lash out. I wish I could strangle the fuckers who start these bullshit media campaigns.

I dont know if its blackface or not, but what I do know is boy are those shoes ugly
Alternatively, overly sensitive, attention-seeking cretins on social media manufacturing racism. These shoes are not racist and blacks don't have a monopoly on red lips and the colour black, I'm sorry.
