Man accused of wearing blackface during Philadelphia
Man accused of wearing blackface during the Mummers Parade 2020 in Philadelphia
With the latest version of parade and fun, it was not without controversy again.
Two members of Froggy Carin, the Wench Brigade, have been accused in the case of wearing blackface.
Some people believe that it was clearly racist, while some have a belief that there were no ill intentions. Froggy Carr got disqualified from the competition. There could be further consequences said, Mayor Jim Kenney. The theme of the Froggy Carr's performance on Broad Street was Gritty. During the parade, some of the marchers wore black and orange costumes. They also held umbrellas to resemble the Flyers mascot.
People had different variations of face paint, but there were only two marchers who wore black faces.
Mayor Kenney tweeted that "The use of blackface by someone affiliated with Froggy Carr today was abhorrent and unacceptable. This selfish, hateful behavior has no place in the Mummers, or the city itself. We must be better than this. The group was disqualified, and we will be exploring additional penalties."
