discussion CNN: If you’re white, you might be guilty of wearing “digital blackface”

[Sergi91]

 

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.”

Actually the article itself is the racist one. They degraded the point of using the memes, so as to eradicate them all together. Whoever it is they are the ones who are problematic.

It’s a real thing and anyone who says otherwise is probably guilty of it. Just saying.

Thank you. 
 

Before social media there were cultural jokes, references and lingo that you only “got” if you hung around…this is just an extension of that.
