    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.

      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.

      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

      waaahhhhh. sniffles. That’s what you sound like. A good majority of American sports teams facilitate racist carictatures of minorities. Namely Native Americans. The fact that the “Redskins” were a team for so long pretty much proves the average amerikkkan does not give a shit if their team is the most racist shit ever. And now I’m sure this kid has been told since birth that it’s fine what he is doing but it’s not. I honestly feel bad for this kid more than anything. It’s not his fault he was born into a group of people that are fine with perpetuating racism. Maybe he will grow out of it and realize how bad this is

      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. Instead of the constant racist noise that passes for culture in this country.

      Death to America.

      Is that better?
