Institutionalized racism ladies and gentlemen, fuck.
Remember that institutionalized racism does not have to be intentional or will ill intent to be racism.

Multiple someones, apparently.
Blackface or not, those are ugly ass shoes. The fuck???
More forward question who the fuck is buying them for there even to be a demand for this kind of stuff
Yes I'll take the sandals that portray a face on them that resembles a face of hardship and has supreme negative connotations behind it
You can't put a shitty face on shitty shoes now in case......
....Come on, banning some of this stuff is just handing ammo to the "Freedom of speech" racists. Pick your battles.

Not surprised her shoes are that tacky and hideous (even without the blackface) when she dressed like this to the Grammys last night.
Even ignoring the racial aspect, these are some ugly fucking shoes. What idiot would pay for them?
While intentions indeed have no bearing on whether an action or behavior is racist, I'm failing to see the institution element. My understanding is that would be in reference to racism borne out of laws and other underlying systems of a society. This just seems to be just plain racism, whether by ignorance or actually taking inspiration from those shows.
Slightly off-topic, but she really seems to love all that Eye of Province symbol crap. She probably thinks she is subtle and smart.
Its like they all went and did a refresher course at design school and the final assignment was blackface designs
Regardless of blackface, those shoes are ugly as sin tbh. They could have been green, red, blue, pink or anything to avoid the blackface, but they still would have been horrible.
That don't mean shit. They could have played it off as one representing black people (in the land of living shoes) and not necessarily black face.
But the fucked up part is that the rest of the features don't align. Blue eyes, white nose...
...black face.

If this is what it takes to be a fashion designer...I chose the wrong career path. Like my god that is trash. Who buys this shit?
You haven't seen the ugly/chunky sneaker threads then I bet.
Also, not my fave selling blackface shoes at Walmart š Taydolf Swiftlor and fascism won.
