Griezmann’s response on the backlash he’s getting for his blackface costume:”Calm Down Everyone, I’m a fan of Harlem Globtrotters and this beautiful era, it’s a tribute”

There has been an immediate and organized public chastising of a player based on a concept of racism, not an act of racism, who was doing the completely innocent act of committing to a costume. That is political correctness gone mad.

do you genuinely believe there is a sinister cabal of coordinated folk just waiting to jump on any mistake? that was organised to chastise someone publicly?

also, i love that you include public in there, like the player didn't actively fucking publish the image to his millions of followers.

if you don't understand the history of blackface, that's cool. what isn't cool is laying into folk without first making a token attempt to learn about the subject.
