France and Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann had an '80s-themed party to attend this weekend, and he is now under a lot of fire for his choice of a costume. The huge basketball fan dressed up kind of like a Harlem Globetrotter and decided to paint his skin in the process. Take a look:

Surely someone could have advised Antoine Griezmann that this may have been a silly idea...

If you're asking how is that racist re: Antoine Griezmann then you're part of the problem. Casual racism is still prevalent in society and that pic of Griezmann is evidence of that. Whether it's intentional or not is irrelevant.

If you’re white, and you wear a Harlem Globetrotters uniform without blackface, I promise you everyone is going to understand you are supposed to be a Harlem Globetrotter.

And the player quickly took to Twitter to apologize, after telling people to calm down.

Je reconnais que c’est maladroit de ma part. Si j’ai blessé certaines personnes je m’en excuse.

It wont be in a minute when you get other responses that will probably be humiliating ...

Black face has its roots in American Culture. You could put this down to him not aware of the history in Blackface in American Culture. You can see that with his response “calm down” really sends it home that he doesn’t realize how offensive this is.

I dnt care for the coli brownie points...I saw no objection frm blacks when the wayans brothers dressed up as white hoes and clowned them for 2 hours...I'm supposed to riot over a pic with a blackface? in the long run, what would we get out of that? It's a distraction that we shouldn't spend one second of our time discussing...

 

[ejthompson23]

@Eazy-E I already know the history...it's just irrelevant 200 years later...saying ****** or nikka has worst connotations and history, but we spew that shyt out for the whole world to hear worst yet, we give other races "passes" to use that word...don't try to lecture me...

do you let your cac friends call you nikka too

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

do you let your cac friends call you nikka too

Probably. @ejthompson23 is trying to be the biggest coin fakkit on this site.

Just last week this fool was defending Roy Moore like a jack ass.

Now here he is making another false equivalency by turning the lense on blacks after mentioning a 14 year old movie.

I think he's been pretending to be black ever since he's joined

 

[ejthompson23]

do you let your cac friends call you nikka too

I dnt have cac friends...but it's a video of kanye telling 100K cacs to say nikka
