It's always looked to me like he's bitten they style of lily white puka shell steve dave, but with a headband instead of a visor.

Cow-tattoo Steve Dave is the best.

Fascinating stuff, herein.

Is the problem that it's a wig? If a white kid has his actual hair cut that way, do people see that as problematic, too?

the problem is the afro wig.

if the problem was the marketed mahomes hair/bandana combo, the author would have written this article on halloween in 2018 or 2019 or 2020 when social media was flooded with kids wearing it.

sticky situation. I understand both sides of the argument. If it were me, I think I would just steer clear. Like I don't feel such a strong desire to emulate Pat that I would do something that i know would be perceived as offensive or problematic by a non insubstantial amount of the population. If it really did matter that much to me to dress up as Pat, then I guess i would just wear a helmet.

Otherwise, pick a different player to dress up as. you'll be fine, its just a costume.

Why is pat off limits but other players aren't?

Did not read the article or the whole thread, but there’s obv a big difference between mimicking Mahomes’s hairstyle and mimicking a “black person’s” hairstyle. If the wig is specifically supposed to look like Mahomes’s hair it’s AOK with me. Like someone said, Mahomes is already essentially branding it for goodness sakes.

Sorry I just meant like pick a player that you could dress up as without having to do anything that would be perceived as problematic

He should have @mahomes in this case for signing up for it (for a charity btw). He failed to mention this. Good luck telling bumpkins from the Midwest what’s racist or not (most don’t have the presentiaged knowledge you have). Teach was just trying to support their home team.

Yeah true on second thought let's all phase the wigs out.

I have since changed my stance and apologize for saying the wigs are appropriate.

If that guy is the teacher the article was written about, then I take back everything I said.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #121 on:** February 18, 2021, 08:01:41 PM »

At the very least can you see how a rational person can be offended by this?

Honestly, a lot of white people can't be trusted to play it cool, a lot of people see us nothing more than caricatures. I mean Patrick sounds like Kermit, but would you be surprised to see this guy cosplaying Lamar Jackson and jive talking?

Rage Against the McKee · « **Reply #122 on:** February 18, 2021, 09:43:42 PM »

I just have a difficult time not sympathizing with a school teacher who tried to scrap together a costume for spirit day. The circumstance and intent of the person matters.

I definitely can, but I guess my point was this garbage below that I’m about to post. I think we’re kinda going crazy here. These two parents who adopted this child own a dance studio.

Cool, so we're going to lump this shuck & jive Charlie in with the teacher to rehash this all over again. Cool.

You acting like this dude was hung on the town square is off putting to me. He had no consequences other than being forced to hear the opinion of some of his students and a newspaper employee. The editorial didn't question the teachers intent. Good intent doesn't absolve anyone from hearing a different point of view. I wish you felt the need to stand up for the person who actually received direct blowback because he had the nerve to publicly offer an opinion that made white people uncomfortable.
