It’s Thursday, January 3rd. A Mummers Parade skit has caused some controversy for what many observers thought was the use of blackface. Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke denounced the annual New Year’s parade because of a character who portrayed music mogul Jay-Z. But the performer was a black man named Darrel Young who’s been a member of the Finnegan New Year Brigade Comic Club for two years. Not someone wearing blackface.
