We really need to start a conversation about people like that original tweeter, who speak on behalf of the concerned people just to make themselves look good, what a ******* nuisance

this is racist, farticle! do better!

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.

You read my thoughts exactly. 

[Pop culture]

Yes, black people and white people should be completely segregated and not allowed to interact #progressive

[AlanRickman1946]

Remember that gif of the ape superimposed on the plump black woman who was being strapped to a stretcher?

Seemed racist

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

[Superbitch]

people like her and their faux activism for clout are so annoying. Ma’am…. 
 

[Mr.Link]

Given that 99% of the gay lingo currently in use comes from african american drag queens this is a non issue. 

[worldwide angel]

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

[worldwide angel]

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

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.

[Flanders]

The way idiots are being listened to these days is just so concerning  

[saucy]

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.
