The following report illustrates perfectly why Donald Trump was elected president. Americans are simply tired of political correctness and of not being able to be, well, human.
Over the Christmas weekend, actor and model Lance Gross posted a lovely holiday family photo to his Twitter account. But what's innocent to normal people is twisted into something deranged and sinister by the Left. No sooner did the House of Payne star post his photo did social media erupt with accusations of "colorism" because one of the "darker" women in the photo was sitting somewhat separate from the rest of the group. The UK Mail explains the madness:
A black actor's holiday photograph sparked a social media backlash over colorism - because some people thought a black woman with a dark complexion looked like she was being excluded from a group of lighter-skinned women.
Actor and model Lance Gross, who is best known for his role on the TBS sitcom Tyler Perry's House of Payne, posted the holiday photo of himself and his wife Rebecca Jefferson and their seven friends to his Twitter.Everyone in the image is paired up, except for one woman who is sitting off to the side with a look of disinterest on her face.It sparked a fierce debate with some social media users quick to accuse Gross of colorism because the woman concerned is the only one without a partner, is on the fringes of the group and is darker skinned than the other women.
One social media user wrote: "This picture says white supremacy has won."
Or, it could just be a fun photo.
In response, the woman featured in the photo explained:
"NEWSFLASH: Black people come in ALL shades!! And just so everyone can RELAX, the photo is a annual tradition– ITS A JOKE! I'm dating someone special, but he didn't come to Big Bear this year. I take a pic like this EVERY YEAR making fun of the fact that I'm the only single one in the couples pic. Calm down people! Go enjoy your family, and stop worrying about OURS!!"
Gross added that this has been a running joke with his group for years and proved it by posting photos from Christmases past.
The Left has no sense of humor, however, so we're sure they'll take umbrage with something else soon enough.
