Social 'Digital Blackface'

[Fugazy]

here's what's humorous. if white folk ONLY use white gifs/memes/avatars etc, like this:

they was be accused of perpetuating "white supremacy" and being "non-inclusive."

Tito has the brown card, maybe you forgot.

I knew it would be John Blake before the page finished loading.

safe to say he’s a gimmick at this point.

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

No it’s that there are millions of individuals with different opinions. Yes if you take every single liberals opinion and lump it into one, you will find that they don’t mesh. Same goes with literally anything.

You see this shit all the time in the ufc forum, where some dipshit starts a thread “ButSherdog told me that x fighter sucked” or some such nonsense. Really it’s just one person’s shitty opinion

I mean, I get it, but it's just black people acting like a lot of black people act. It's humorous, which is the point of most gif/memes. So non-blacks should only post stuff from their race? I can't post a clip from Chappelle, even though he's pretty funny. I'm Asian, but don't watch Asian comedians. I'm fucked.

"Digital blackface" sounds like actually changing pictures to make them black-skinned. Not this shite. Stuff like this is actually pulling me more to the supremacist, gun loving, Bible thumping, nonsensical conspiracy theory side.

Remember that the empty cans rattle the most and The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Thats kind of the problem we run into with extremists. The extremists on both sides make the most noise, and generally they have the dumbest takes. They also get the most attention.

LMAO at an image of Tito and the term "white supremacy" being used in the same ballpark vicinity. Thats got to be a joke.

As a black person I feel as though these lefty radicalists make a complete mockery of us. They are constantly exploiting and using us as a marxist tool to destabilize society. It's quite upsetting.

We call it "The Trotsky" around here...

Damn. You beat me to it lol

I think I dubbed it "virtual Blackface" even back then. Fuck Trotsky's meltdown was glorious. He was so embarrassed he stopped posting for like a month and then he tried to slide back in like nothing happened and then intentionally got himself banned so he could start over when he realized he would never be able to have any sort of cred again.

Firstly: AHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAAAA. <inhales> AHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

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



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





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:

shit. ive always been concerned that im being inappropriate when i play as rampage, cornier, jones in the ea ufc games. and as franklin in gta5. that's a type of digital blackface. what can be done to end this injustice?

An African American’s opinion

 

[Bia]

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?

I'd imagine their reasoning as below
non-black meme are in positions of power so therefore not being actually oppressed like their counter part
