The Bob Marley Snapchat Filter Is a Buzzkill on 4/20

Snapchat is under fire after releasing a Bob Marley filter that gives users dreadlocks and…digital blackface. The filter was meant to honor the late reggae singer’s legacy on 4/20, however critics took to twitter claiming Snapchat failed selfie filter undermines the singers career and African Americans. Snapchat hasn’t addressed the controversy and said in a statement to CNN Money that the lens was built “in partnership with the Bob Marley Estate.” Mark Sovel and Elliot Hill discuss Snapchat’s latest filter on the Lip News.
