Tweeted by @ClevelandFrowns, this picture shows a Native American man confronting a white man who is dressed up in #redface before a Cleveland baseball game at Progressive Field. It's impossible to tell, but the white man may be trying to explain that it's okay because some of his best friends are Indians.

Many whites think that the calls to stop dressing up as other racial groups constitutes a double standard. Here’s why they’re wrong: The critique of cultural (mis)presentation is about racism and power. If you don’t understand the historical-institutional context, then you will have trouble understanding what the injury is and what constitutes a remedy. Take this simplified example. Suppose you happen upon a fight between two people... Racial Groups, Social Movement, Double Standards, Social Change, Know Your Meme, Dont Understand, Over Dose, Romans
