<p>Looks like Black Twitter isn&#8217;t too happy with Snapchat&#8217;s latest choice of filter in celebration of 4/20. The app decided to use a Bob Marley face filter which fans are calling blatant digital black facing.</p>
<p>People are not only upset with the blackface filter but they also argue that Snapchat is only reducing the late musician&#8217;s actual contributions to cultural in general.</p>

<p>Well the popular app clapped back at the critics saying that the Marley estate actually gave them the go ahead for the filter</p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5;">The lens we launched today was created in partnership with the Bob Marley Estate, and gives people a new way to share their appreciation for Bob Marley and his music,&#8221;a SC rep said to Gawker. &#8220;Millions of Snapchatters have enjoyed Bob Marley’s music, and we respect his life and achievements.&#8221;</span></p>

<p>Lets chat below, is the new Snapchat filter prejudicial or did the app mean no harm?</p>
