Mellark Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) It just depends on the context, but most black people in the comments/qrts under that tweet disagree with her. This is a disingenuous tweet and literally white saviorism. Honestly, this is why I don't trust most of these 'online activists' especially the ones who are yt because they just get defensive when they are wrong but overlook bigger issues that are harmful to the groups they claim to advocate for.

John Slayne Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 I wouldn't say it's always wrong or problematic, but there is something to be said about how white people exploit black culture and entertainment online, including pictures and videos/gifs. It's a nuanced discussion, I don't think it's wrong to call it out. Don't worry ATRLers, nobody is taking your precious gifs of black women lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldwide angel Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 yes... you don't get to disrespect actual black people and then use our likeness for memes. especially considering a lot of the memes in question are from scenarios where the black person in question were being disrespected ("double homicide"). no one is saying that you can't use memes with black people but question why you are doing it in the first place. and if it applies, question why you only uses memes of black people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldwide angel Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 sorry to double post but yes. white saviors are really annoying but so is chalking up any criticism concerning identity up to "white saviors are upset" or "this is such a non issue". at least try to engage with the conversation instead of being dismissive because behind a good chunk of white saviors are actual people of color that have sensible arguments around this type of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunUpDoneUp Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 White people can and should use gifs of black people, that actually has no baring on whether they're racist. I just want actual racism to stop. Gifs aren't a part of white supremacy. Black people do have some iconic reaction gifs so they get used frequently, it isn't a blackfishing thing. I use gifs of white and Asian people also but I'm not thinking of race when I do it, I also don't think white people are when they do either.

saucy Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 She's not...completely wrong. There does seem to be a disproportionate amount of black people reaction gifs. Since hearing of digital blackface, i've been more vigilant about my own use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
