White Councilman Faron Hamblin actually posted the photo of himself in blackface as Coming to America’s Randy Watson, lead singer of the band Sexual Chocolate. . He later apologized, apparently he didn’t realize that wearing “dark makeup” was considered blackface.

“Folks I made a post of me dressed like the movie character Randy Watson. For those of you who know the movie, Randy is a [B]lack man. So I dressed the part. Suit, hair, and yes my makeup was brown. Many saw it degrading, which I did not. I did it to show my love for the character and the movie. But since I’m white it’s considered by some as offensive to dress as a black person.”

He then compared himself to Dave Chappelle, saying like the famous comedian, he wasn’t going to go around walking on eggshells worried about hurting feelings.

Way to read the room, dude.
