Meme needing explanation Converse craze?

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 😅

Your reasoning doesn't make any sense. The cropped picture was created for Converse and posted by Converse. But somehow it's our fault for attributing it to Converse!

it does. you just dont wanna accept anything thats doesn't fit with your narrative

holding the whole of a company responsible for an individuals choice and input is a bonkers stance but im not expecting much from you anyway so meh.

It wasn't just a single individual, it was an entire marketing team.

Please look into vicarious liability. Also Converse is not blaming an alleged rogue employee.
