As seems to be a common occurrence this year, the United States is in a state of disarray. Over the weekend, a horrendous white supremacist rally took place in Charlottesville, reminding many Americans that neo-Nazis have entered the mainstream under the guise of the "alt-right." As many people have noted, along with their white polo shirts and tan khakis, many of these young men are sporting a haircut commonly associated with white rapper Macklemore.
Though he's had his own racism accusations to counter in the past, Macklemore has built a career out of releasing woke hip-hop tunes and denouncing bigotry. As such, he was quick to point out that he's abandoned the long-on-top, short-on-the-sides haircut that he was once known for.
As you may have guessed by now, the whole thing started on Twitter when noted "internet joke idiot" and "data security and cyber risk genius" Jon Hendren (a.k.a @fart) demanded that Macklemore denounce the Macklemore haircut:
Macklemore, a devout Twitter user (and 9/11 truther) himself, responded swiftly, pointing out that he no longer shares a haircut with the white supremacist alt-right turds dominating the news cycle:
As a result of his brave hair switch-up, a chorus of Twitter users have spent the day thanking Macklemore:
Exclaim! would like to add to the conversation with our own message to the rapper: Thank you, Macklemore.
