Today is 420 day. For those of you who don’t smoke cannabis, it celebrates the consumption of the drug and the culture related to it. To celebrate this, Snapchat has a Bob Marley filter. The filter gives you both dreadlocks and digital blackface.
Wow. That is so culturally and racially insensitive. What genius at Snapchat came up with this idea? Did they not think this through seeing as this could go horribly sideways in so many ways? Did they not consider that they’ve taken one of the most influential musicians and reduce his legacy to a pot smoking joke? What in the world could ever convince Snapchat that this was a great idea?
If something deserves a #fail, this does.
