Back handed racism? Photo of African man eating chocolate elicits unusual reactions from Americans
A somewhat regular photo of African eating chocolate had an unusual effect on Americans after it was shared online.
The viral photo of the man shows him covered in dust with a bar of half-eaten chocolate in his hand while staring into the distance.
It looks like a regular photo but the comments tell a different story.
Some called him the most beautiful creature in the world, some said he deserves a modelling contract, others complimented his eyes.
Black people were left confused by the unusual praise for the black man and someone suggested it’s “back-handed racism.”
