Philidelphia Mayor Jim Kenney criticized two men who wore blackface to the city's annual New Year's Day Mummers Parade, which has a history of racially offensive displays that have marred the event. "The use of blackface by someone affiliated with Froggy Carr today was abhorrent and unacceptable. He did not specify which one but said both were banished from all Froggy Carr activities. Kinkel and Tomaszewski only wore blackface. The group called the incident satire, saying the black man was impersonating rapper Jay-Z and the white man was portraying Kenny.
