Snapchat's New Bob Marley Filter is Surely the Next Outrage

LOOKING FOR A hip and also racially insensitive way to celebrate 420, the sacred marijuana holiday of people who somehow aren’t over it already? Snapchat’s here for you, with a new Bob Marley filter that gives you both dreadlocks and digital blackface. Hoo boy. It’s bad. It’s very bad.

There’s not much more to say, other than maybe to point out that in addition to the inappropriate and very tone-deaf racial mapping it also reduces Marley’s legacy to a pot joke. But we already got that, right? Even a teenager could! Which makes it even more of a wonder that Snapchat didn’t.
Not sure how anyone at Snapchat thought this would go over well.

I would snapchat just so I could use that filter.

did you even read it before you got that bug up your arse?
its not the dreads and hat, its the digital blackface that is problematic.

It's not blackface. It's Bob Marley's actual face.

its bobs face merged with whoever is snap chatting which makes people black.
you'd rather I call it bob face?
I'm not saying its racist, but it is pretty tone deaf.

No, tone deaf would be some SJW twerp getting irrationally pissed off about a Bob Marley filter on 4/20.

Posted on 4/20/16 at 10:21 am to LNCHBOX
I'm not saying its
worthy. Tone deaf doesn't = rage brah
You do seem to be a bit pissed that anyone would find it off putting though.
Maybe you should worry about your own irrational anger ehh?

I have no problem acknowledging that stupid people being bothered by innocent things like this is something that even has to enter my brain.

Bob Marley was mixed for fricks sake. His dad was a white military officer.

It's fricking exhausting reading the "news" these days.
Posted on 4/20/16 at 11:01 am to Dr RC
I don't know, there's about 60 thousand tweets about the filter already. Someone's pretty mad.

If this made me upset I would have already ended my life by now because I must be one miserable human being.

Bob was half white.
