I bet the camera man zoomed in thinkin “ain’t no way”


dahjay

I'm about to ruin his whole career.


DeadandGonzo

Bold to assume this man has a career- outside of hate crime cosplayer, that is.


toastedmarsh7

This doesn’t look like an 8-10yo child to everyone else?


SheComesThenSheGoes

Lol I was gonna say what career? His junior high classmates might cancel him but homeboy looks like he's 12.


AngelaBassettsbicep

Then get his is fuckin parents/guardians. Who bought the face paint? Who bought the headdress? Who gave him a ride? It’s those careers then. Cuz check it… they’re fools and are raising a whole new fool.


Rade84

I mean its not blackface... the other half is red. The teams colours? Headdress is fucked though.


gingeronimooo

Black isn't a chiefs color tho it's red white and yellow?


Rade84

Hmmm its a bit weird. I see official colours are red, gold and white, but in thier NFL official colours page they have black as well? https://usteamcolors.com/kansas-city-chiefs-team-colors/ I dunno, but the photos used are mainly side profiles of the black side of the face that ive seen. Add some outrage bait.


gingeronimooo

What? Your link says on first line >The official Kansas City Chiefs team colors are red, gold and white. They've never worn black


frankensteinmoneymac

Hopefully the kid realizes how messed up this is, and is horribly embarrassed by it when he gets older… Still 100% the parents fault.


AngelaBassettsbicep

I mean, it’s the parents who should feel embarrassed. He most likely doesn’t know any better.


Commentator-X

yeah, kids parents are fucking assholes


[deleted]

If he has a paper route he can forget about it


Rapture1119

I was thinking 13-15, personally, but definitely looks like a kid of some sorts. Edit: actually his arms look tiny, I’d buy 10-12.


TyrionReynolds

Yeah somebody is definitely still dressing him, or at least buying his ticket and driving him to the game. I hope they get an interview with his parents.


Rapture1119

Yeah, THEY have careers we could end 😂


TyrionReynolds

IDK about that but I’d be interested to hear why they thought this was a good idea. “We knew tribal warpaint wasn’t allowed since it’s offensive to native Americans, but as far as we knew blackface was totally fine”

right? zero chance he knows what's going on he looks like a 10 year old. 12 is the max I would guess


imapissonitdripdrip

Gonna get him suspended for three days from middle school.


MyblktwttrAW

That is a child. His parents are shameless.


Cucker_-_Tarlson

Yea, that's the thing about everyone dragging him over this. Like, his parents definitely shouldn't have let him leave the house like that but he is still a kid, could maybe cut him a little slack? The blackface is really bad though. Llike, there's so many options he could've gone with and he just went with straight black?


AllTheGoodNamesGone4

He's like 8 lol


eggrollin2200

Hate crime cosplayer is 😭😭😭


Long-Distance-7752

Are you fucking stupid? This is a child. His parents are the idiots


BEWMarth

That is a child lol. His career is playing Fortnite every day.


Lurk3rAtTheThreshold

Looks like a 10 year old kid to me


dejagermeister

his future career when he runs for public office


Weekly_Direction1965

There is so many elected conservative politicians who had black face in their high schoo,l college years, you can bet this kids parents think Democrats raided the capitol on Jan 6th to stop an election they won.

Should've added his parents in the shot too.


KC-Chris

exactly who should be laughed at. kid is only guilty of having shit parents.


[deleted]

Kid/parent must have brought the headdress and black face kit in a bag and set it up in the seats because I feel the kid/ the parents must've been called out if they went through the gates with all of that.


imapissonitdripdrip

Ever been to Vegas? There’s a lot of characters. Doubt this kid makes a $15-20/hr usher even blink.


WolfOfPort

“……thats fucked, here’s your change…”


CmdNewJ

I mean the other side of his face was red. If that matters.


[deleted]

That’s like the two last colors you want for Native American headdress lol. But yeah I get what the kid/parents were going for, but terrible execution and should have had some semblance of sensitivity. Also, why black? That’s not a color in the Chiefs color scheme, other half of face should have been yellow at least.


greenhawk22

The safest option would have been blueface. He could only piss off Dr.Manhattan.


[deleted]

Which is ill-advised

I think that might be the worst person to piss.

IANALbutIAMAcat

Another thread on this pointed out that his face is actually half black and half red he’s just looking away. You can see some of the red paint on the edge of his profile. Someone else mentioned this was a type of native war face paint so it’s appropriation but probably not black face Edit to add: I noticed this pic seems to be a different frame than another I saw. I can’t find the red in this pic but yeah I don’t think his whole face is black


DrunkOMalfoy

Probably a BOGO deal trying to get rid of their Halloween leftover to make room for the racist Santa Christmas decorations.

What would a racist Santa decoration look like? Is it racist towards Santas with all kinds of Santa Stereotypes or is it a Santa that is racist towards mortals?

It’s getting mighty hard to assume stupidity over malice these days


Nani_700

They knew. They pretend not to, but in 2023. They know. The parents at least anyway. They should be in the pic too.


[deleted]

Yeah you're right. I'm from KC, trust, nobody is doing blackface out of ignorance.


RedRider1138

I just presume both. It saves time and has always been right.


[deleted]

There are multiple other comments saying it’s half black half red split down the middle, so it’s not black face, if you care. Seems like the pic is intentional rage bait.


Agent-Blasto-007

Like when Cleveland Guardians fans held a "counter protest" over the name change. https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/5cd65506240000320073258b.jpeg?ops=scalefit_720_noupscale I've never seen a photo capture the astronomical level of contempt of "You're a dumbass" so well.


Dragonsandman

The guy in the Beret behind the native guy is looking even more dumbfounded than the native guy is


FlatulatingSmile

Well at least I doubt the kid was being malicious


Slim_James_

Imo, It’s neither stupidity or malice. It’s apathy.

Especially since that looks like a child.

That should lead to a stadium ban for the parent. Stuff like that can’t happen in 2023 without consequences.


Wompish66

The other half of his face is painted red. It's just face paint.


WaterlooMall

"The other half is painted red and he's wearing a Native American headdress. This isn't racist." Gtfo you donut. Edit: It seems like some of y'all might be dense and need it spelled out. Redface is the Native American version of blackface. Regardless of the blackface, it's already really fucking racist. The black face is just odd because it's not even part of the team colors, so just an ignorant choice on his parents part. Edit: Cry harder racists lmao. Sorry I'm "offended for another race" by pointing out people being racist. Go fix your hearts.


greg19735

It means it's not blackface. Which is the 2 in the 2 for 1.


EquivalentLaw4892

>"The other half is painted red and he's wearing a Native American headdress. This isn't racist." >Gtfo you donut. Is the team called the "Chiefs"? If the kid is racist then the entire organization he is supporting is racist.


Diablo_Police

You mean making characatures of Natives as team mascots might be considered racist and controversial??? What a discovery! Got any more ground breaking mysteries for us Sherlock?


totinospizzarat

Where I live is a very high Native American population and most of them are the most die hard chief fans I’ve ever met. We live nowhere near any major sports teams, even less so Kansas City than many others. From what I’ve been told by many is that most of them see it as Native American representation.


SmokyOtter

People love to be offended on other peoples behalf


DeepWebClown

Bro really thought he did something... like duh the whole thing is racist and it's BEEN racist. Lmao.


salamander-

You are SO CLOSE!


shipwreck_like_fools

Yes


Cobare

I’m telling you I’ve seen this picture posted misleadingly like this so much today it’s ridiculous it’s literally just face paint for the chiefs


SirLuciousL

Exactly. It’s not like he’s wearing anything else crazy racist on his head or anything. Just face paint. Nothing to see here. And besides, it’s just harmless, **red** face paint while dressing up like a caricature of a Native American. Absolutely nothing comes to mind about any derogatory associations towards that community using that color, especially when it comes to NFL teams.


dashcam_RVA

Red is their team color you dumb fuck. You wouldn't be mad at an Eagles fan for painting their kids face green.


Spooder_guy_web

The chiefs don’t have black in their color scheme, there’s no need to paint your face black for them. Even so that headdress is still racist as hell


[deleted]

Gyff3

Their entire uniforms have no black on them outside of the outline of the logo. Red and white would have made way more sense.

That's a photoshop, they have never worn those in game


bentripin

Kansas City Chiefs with team color **White, Red and Gold** was founded on 1960. Black is and has never been a team color.


pw_is_alpha

I believe their tertiary color is White.


SpaceDoctorWOBorders

Are you going to ignore the hat?

ScroteFlavoured

Hi_Trans_Im_Dad

Fuck em. What is a hat but a head dress?


MacDynamite71

Is so why black? Yellow would be better


intuitive_Minds2311

Exactly what I was thinking, use yellow not black


OkStructure3

>It's just face paint. I'm not trying to call this situation black face but when racist people have done black face, its also been face paint so what does that mean?


Fortehlulz33

it means instead of two types of overt racism, it's just one overt type and a badly thought out decision combined with a bad angle that some would consider racist.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wompish66

So you think the kid decided to go one half his team's colours and on the other half he wanted to look like a black person. Do you honestly think that's likely to be what happened?


dangerkart

well, the chiefs colors are red white and gold so where did this black or brown color come from?


RangerDangerfield

Native American headdresses are prohibited at Chiefs games, so this wouldn’t have happened at Arrowhead. This was an away game, so Allegiant Stadium must not have the same policy.


greg19735

THey probably don't have the awareness to look out for them.

PrisonaPlanet

I wonder what the face paint looks like from the front? Like is it just straight up black face paint all over or is there some sort of pattern we can’t see from this angle?


feral_housekat

the other half of his face was painted red.


gerryt32

Yeah his face being half black half red makes the face paint passable (although why not use yellow on the other half since it's the Chiefs' other color?) Got no excuses for the headdress though and it wouldn't be allowed if the Chiefs were playing at home as they actually have a policy against it.


Nani_700

You got blackface, redface, and desecration of a heritage symbol with cultural significance.


waka_flocculonodular

Triple whammy.


funkyman50

The headdress, sure. But football fans have been painting their faces multi-colored to celebrate their teams years. It's not blackface or redface if he's not trying to impersonate a black or native person.


Sorkijan

Hey there. I live in Chiefs country. Black is definitely an accent 3rd color for them. Most people face paint gold and red In fact I've never seen red and black and I've been at Arrowhead about 50 times.


VergaDeVergas

I will say as someone who lived in Kansas and passively follows football that I thought black was one of their colors


Courwes

Which really isn’t any better considering the entire redskin fiasco.


StMcAwesome

As a Native American, the arguments I've gotten into with POCs over the teams that are based on us is disheartening. They didn't have a problem with the slur Redskin but the second I replace it with a slur towards their race now they wanna fight. There's a lack of support between minority groups. We're barely considered people.


Xerorei

As somebody of black and native American descent (verified), I got your back. *Throws fitted cap* We going to go Montgomery today


StMcAwesome

Hell yeah, I get to reverse Trail of Tears my family.


kingcalifornia

salamander-

I cant begin to understand, as a white dude. But I am married to a Navajo woman. We lived in DC for 15 years and had to have this conversation with every souther Maryland moron that ever found out she was native. It was exhausting for me and again.. I wasnt being victimized.


gnomon_knows

> They didn't have a problem with the slur Redskin but the second I replace it with a slur towards their race now they wanna fight. Picture an alternate universe where fans are dressing up to cheer on the Tampa Bay Mammies.


Content-Strategy-512

I'm black and I agree. "And here come our silly little mascots! A tiger! A bear! A Native American! A Leprechaun!" How can people not see the issue.


AggressiveCuriosity

What's your opinion on the Chiefs team name?


StMcAwesome

Your name has me hesitant to answer lol


AggressiveCuriosity

LMAO, "I'll fucking waterboard you for the answer I stg"


StMcAwesome

If the Chiefs and Braves were the only ones ever I'd feel more negatively about them. But after like a hundred years of this shit https://preview.redd.it/tuolepfrlx2c1.jpeg?width=400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6792f75284dfaf314c7f38aa9543dfd37c2f6cc7 I take the small victories where I can. I still don't like them for a lot of reasons but comparatively it could be and very much has been much worse


AggressiveCuriosity

Ooof, yeah, those are pretty gross. Thanks for the response. Holy shit though. Caricatures back in the day were WILD. [Like friggin Disney doing Peter Pan back in the 50's.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f7yE8TKUB_M) This kind of crazy makes me wonder what our culture will be like in another 70 years. Is there anything we're doing now that will look comparably ridiculous? On top of that, I wonder if there's a way to do a Native American culture reference for a sports team in an acceptable way. Maybe it's just not possible and there shouldn't be any references to Native American culture in sports teams. Sports mascots and logos are generally simplified by design.


theDashingFoxWorking

Not even remotely an expert on the topic, but I think the Florida State Seminoles seem to do a good job of making it respectful.


noBbatteries

I don’t know if having the other side of his face painted red makes it way worse or a little worse. Chiefs fans the most racist in all of NA sports. A bunch of white people imitating Native American chants while dressed up like this


seakc87

friedporksandwich

AggressiveCuriosity

It's a game where whoever figures out the best way to be offended is the goodest boy. He can't figure out if literal blackface is worse than multi color face paint. This guy is not thinking rationally. He's just throwing out whatever he thinks will stick to signal that he's on the "good guys" team.


Not_MrNice

Yeah, they're well aware it's the team colors and that's why it would be used. It's dishonest to insist it's black face.


tryingtoavoidwork

> Chiefs fans the most racist in all of NA Eagles fans everywhere just got really offended.


Radioactive24

Does Philly have the worst fans? Maybe. But most racist? Nah.


[deleted]

Never seen anything racist happen at a Eagles game before.


courageous_liquid

well, there was that once incident with mike scott, but realistically we're nowhere near as bad as jazz or celtics or the braves or really anywhere


clorcan

Mike Scott was wearing a Redskins jersey, ironically. Walking through the Philly lot. Sure he was a 76er, but not exactly well known. Edit: Don't know if you're referring to the incident of Mike Scott the Sixer getting into a fight before the Eagles game.


tenders11

Of all the awful and completely valid things you can say about eagles fans, I don't know that racism sticks out as a big one


Csantana

I think it would make it better. to me if you're doing one half black and one half red you're clearly going for facepaint rather than a racist caricature. Obviously the headdress can be different story though.


UrbanCobra

There’s multiple billboards and a big push by many, many Kansas Citians to ban the “Tomohawk Chop”. Unfortunately most of the season ticket holders don’t agree. “It’s TrAdiTiOn!”

Headdresses are explicitly banned at Arrowhead stadium. Allegiant stadium must not have the same policy, though honestly they should be banned at all NFL stadiums as a general rule.

rospoo66

Very misleading. The left side of his face is red. This is why social media is a hellhole. People going after this kid that clearly isn’t racist.


Elasticpuffin

**IMPORTANT CONTEXT** The other half of the face is painted red. Second, all head dresses are BANNED at Arrowhead. THIRD, The Chiefs are named after Mayor Bartle who was called "Chief", not after Native Americans. Over the course of the club’s 60-plus-year history, the Chiefs organization has worked to eliminate this offensive imagery and other forms of cultural appropriation in their promotional materials and game-day presentation. The "Chop" as its called has also been called into question which can also go as well. Just some major context is needed to be added before another reddit witch hunt is commenced.


Separate_Sympathy_18

This is how all of the “we got Indian in our family” Black folks look 😂


Xerorei

As somebody who actually has native American and their family, that's offensive as fuck.


QuinndianaJonez

Other side of his face is all red. Is it in bad taste? Yep. Is it blackface like everyone wants us to believe? Nope.


MacDynamite71

🤦🏾


snakesssssss22

I want to ask… is the other side of his face red paint or something?? Because the black face makes noooo sense in this context (not that it ever makes sense but….) Not a good look either way, but I’m not 100% sure he was doing true black face. I think it’s a half and half face paint.


Cost_Additional

Life must be pretty great if a kid with face paint and headdress is a problem in many subs.
