Young Kansas City Chiefs fan is accused of racist blackface by reporter - even though other half of child's face was painted RED to match team's colors
Sports outlet Deadspin has accused a young Kansas City Chiefs' fan of wearing racist blackface despite photos showing him wearing team colors across his entire face as well as a Native American headdress.
The uproar started when a photographer of the young fan, taken in profile, showed his face painted black.
Sports reporter Carron Phillips later wrote on Monday that 'a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.'
But others pointed out the other half of the child's face - one not seen in the initial picture - was painted team color red.
He also took a shot at the headdress, which the team has banned since 2020, saying the fan 'doubled up' on racism by wearing the clothes some consider 'cultural appropriation.'
=============
This is a 9 year old kid with his face painted half black half red the team colors. It is SHAMEFUL to accuse a kid of racism when he is obviously just being a fan. The kids face was black on the right and red on the left. The reporter,Carron Phillips, wrote on Monday that 'a Kansas City Chiefs fan found a way to hate Black people and the Native Americans at the same time.' Carron whose name should be spelled Karen only posted a right profile picture of the kid's face to make it look like he was in blackface. The front facing photos clearly shows his face in both red and black the team colors. Karen is just attacking a 9 year old kid calling him a racist just for internet clicks what a garbage reporter.
His mom says they are of Native American ancestors also.
But your party is.This is why not all of us Democrats are "woke."

Please allow me to sum this up!
Carron is a Racist Hack!
There is no excuse for his critical mistake in judgement!
When you carry a racist chip on your shoulder, it will eventually show up sooner or later!
He will hopefully be fired for his shit-stirring comments and banned from the sports writing sphere!
The only thing that may save his job, is if he were to publicly apologize to this lad, and his parents, and the entire Kansas City Team, and their fans across the country on National TV.
Short of that- give him the Boot and forget him- as he is now TOAST!
Deliberately posting just one side of the young man's face was about as about as low as he could go...
It's Kansas City.
There's nobody there, right?
How did we even find out about it?
You say, Kansas City, but Kansas City has definitely made it to America's Team status now, and here we are in the crunch time of Football Season, and everyone's eyes are on Kansas City!
The story is making first page headlines by now on every sports pages section of every newspaper across the country.
Just because it was so obviously a blatant oversight and so bizarre- like out of left-field.
I mean, to use this little boy as an example of racism by this idiot with an obvious racial chip on his shoulder?
What a world.
The racial chip on his shoulder is/has been given a pass by the left!
The POS should be fired ...but that wont happen!
I have not seen any example of anyone on the left giving this man a pass for his inexcusable nonsense!
This must be all over the news reels in your town- What have you seen?
Left leaning Deadspin gave him a pass...IDIOT
This POS and the left views everything they can as racist ...he wakes up everyday looking for racism if he cant he just makes it up like he did here
If this POS were to get fired he would scream racist racist racist
This must be all over the news reels in your town- What have you seen?
I listened to sports radio am 610 today for about 4 hours and wasn't brought up once...my bet is because the writer is black is why it wasnt talked about....but they did talk about the NASCAR garage door pull rope...it was a racist rope u know
Sunday pregame shows wont say a word about itDon't he work for Deadspin?
Wait for the Sunday pregame shows!
This man is toast I tell you- and so is Deadspin!

I was just kidding about Middle America as is expected of me.
Those stupid stories are not that for which any of us are in the mood, however.
A person has a forum with which he can try to do some good.
Instead, he uses it like that.
None of us are impressed.
