- Well, you wake up for the latest NFT news and find a racism scandal. Elijah Wood bought an NFT from the “Jungle Freaks” collection by 74 year old cartoonist George Trosley.
- The only problem: Trosley, when a cartoonist for Hustler magazine, depicted blacks in cartoons that were downright racist. (Trigger warning: racist cartoons).
- In that light, even the name of the NFT collections gives pause.
- When Wood learned of the racist cartoons, he immediately sold off his Trosley NFTs and donated the money to LDF and Black Lives Matter.
- The Trosley family has issued an apology.
- Wow, just wow.
