So what?

Lotsa blacks over there walk around wearing berets and other hats that are european design.

“It’s like showing up to a meeting of African-American cotton farmers in a Confederate uniform,” Matthew Carotenuto, a coordinator of African Studies at St. Lawrence University, wrote on Twitter. “Historical context matters.”

In one of the videos I saw two black male locals with the same white pith hats.
Fake outrage of entitled liberal journalists, most of whom are white.
