She may have "kissed a girl" and liked it, but is Katy Perry prejudiced toward black people?
Or, rather, are her shoes?
This is the new shoe design creating a frenzy on social media and mainstream news alike. As you can see, the design comes in two colours: black and beige. Supposedly, the black shoe design is a depiction of "black face".
And because "black face" is considered "racist imagery" (a stretch to begin with), these shoes have been recalled. An apology is likely forthcoming. Something like "I sincerely didn't know the harm and hurt I would cause with such imagery, I have been corrected and humbled".
But wait. Is every black shoe with a face on it, racist?
Vintage 1960s design! Cute, but I see a black face - RACIST!
These are more modern. And more RACIST!
You get the idea. Anything with red lips on a black background is now essentially a "racist image".
That's the "racist imagery" which got Gucci in trouble with the social justice bedwetters recently. The top featured red lips and came in a variety of colours, including black. But the combination of black material and red lips triggered angry reactions, threats, and boycotts online.
It's ugly as fuck, but come on, it's not racist.
To say "this is getting out of hand" isn't strong enough language. Something is seriously wrong with this society right now.
Meanwhile, Prada is in hot water over a toy robot monkey they designed.
Yes, a racist toy robot monkey.
You can see what's got the social justice snowflakes all broken up, right? Clearly there's a black face staring back at you when you look at that robot monkey, right? Well, that's racist.
Remember, everything is racist, or hate speech, or borderline conspiracy theory content which should be shadowbanned. Unless it comes from the mainstream media, of course.
That's CNN's Don Lemon, beside Katy Perry's shoe. See the similarities?
They're both ugly as fuck, but only one is racist.
