Makeup influencer slammed for sharing photo in full blackface to 'support black lives matter'
Taking to Facebook Ken wrote: "Before everything gets out of hand I would like to apologize for the whole 'blackface' issue."As an artist, I used my artistry to be part of the campaign and use it as a voice that black lives matter. I believe that this is a sensitive topic and that I should’ve kept my mouth shut.
"I will try to learn more about such matters to keep myself from making "careless mistakes" in the future."Cultural appropriation is an issue that is deeply rooted in a society that I am still educating myself on. "I’ve read your comments and tweets and I honestly do understand where this backlash has come from. I am thankful for those who are educating me in the comments section."
One Twitter user wrote: “See this is what we’re NOT gonna do. Please educate yourself Ken Francisco De Dios. Their skin color is not your costume.” Agreeing another added: “U have a lot of nerve to post this, blackface is not and will never be okay baby.”A fourth tweeted: “Blackface is disrespectful af. Please stop doing it for clout. Black lives matter and this includes respecting their culture.
