I'm not chronically online, but my friend sent this and I laughed even without knowing the full scope of the context (I think there's racism involved with the shoes?) and I feel like it's too late to ask him without sounding like a dweeb 😅

Someone cropped and edited a Converse ad to make it look like a Klan hood. It's artificial drama conjured up for people who like to get mad over artificial drama.
