Social 'Digital Blackface'

[Cherry Brigand]

Firstly: AHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAA. <inhales> AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Secondly: Here we go libs, more 'racism is everywhere' and in 'everything'.

If you’re Black and you’ve shared such images online, you get a pass. But if you’re White, you may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism.

What new oppression have whites been doing that minorities get a pass at? Read on!

Maybe you shared that viral video of Kimberly “Sweet Brown” Wilkins telling a reporter after narrowly escaping an apartment fire, “Ain’t nobody got time for that!”

Perhaps you posted that meme of supermodel Tyra Banks exploding in anger on “America’s Next Top Model” (“I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!”). Or maybe you’ve simply posted popular GIFs, such as the one of NBA great Michael Jordan crying...' You may be wearing “digital blackface.”

Can't believe they didn't mention Incredulous Cormier.

Sherdog mods are already working behind the scenes to change the gifs from sports themes 'futbol' and 'MMA' to 'Non-Whites Only' and "Whites.'

It goes on:

Digital blackface is a practice where White people co-opt online expressions of Black imagery, slang, catchphrases or culture to convey comic relief or express emotions.

These expressions, what one commentator calls racialized reactions, are mainstays in Twitter feeds, TikTok videos and Instagram reels, and are among the most popular Internet memes.

Digital blackface involves White people play-acting at being Black, says Lauren Michele Jackson, an author and cultural critic, in an essay for Teen Vogue. Jackson says the Internet thrives on White people laughing at exaggerated displays of Blackness, reflecting a tendency among some to see “Black people as walking hyperbole.”

So I'm white. I do a lot of presentations for smart audiences. One thing I do intentionally when I create slides is have diverse representation when I include images of people. So...if I use only images of majority race individuals, then I'm being racist for excluding people based on race. And if I have well balanced representation of races in my slides then I'm being racist.

Thanks OP I've learned something today.

My boy, you've uncovered one of the keys to modern living: liberalism when examined closely is a circular logic leading nowhere.

Well by definition im not white nor black (Afghan) so i get a free pass too?

 

[gspieler]

Are these folks actually implying that memes of non-blacks, made solely for comic relief, don't get passed around the web as well? Or is it, that's its dehumanizing when the meme is a black, but it's not dehumanizing with other groups?

 

[nostradumbass]

If you post memes of white people, it's exclusive and white supremacy, if you post memes with minorities, it's digital blackface and again white supremacy. Sorry, chuds, you're not allowed to use the internet anymore.

Was going to say the same thing. Dude pretended for several years to be a black lawyer revolutionary, but his posts sounded a lot more like what it turns out he was; an unemployed white kid living with his grandmother.

I was about to say this must just be some random jackass from a website that gets like 37 clicks per year trying to stir the pot and desperately grasp at attention.

It's fucking CNN. One of the most viewed websites on the entire internet.

FFS...

 

[Fox by the Sea]

[SKYNET]

Spoiler: will you shut up, man?.gif

 

[Tatra]

They were whining about this a few years ago... rehashing the same shit.

Quite the ratio. lol

They're so boring and unoriginal. It blows my mind how little self-awareness they have.
