Blackface again mars Philadelphia's troubled New Year parade

The group the men apparently were affiliated with, the Froggy Carr Wench Brigade, was also disqualified from Wednesday's parade and may face additional penalties. When they reported it, parade officials disqualified the group from competition. “The use of blackface by someone affiliated with Froggy Carr today was abhorrent and unacceptable," Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted Wednesday.
