I mean if that is ALL a pwrson does than that is weird but idt I would consider it racist. Also, this is clearly bait. This stuff does not exist in the real world. The only ppl who agree with this stuff are white, chronically online, and social outcasts.

So does that mean CNNs official verified Twitter account is guilty of digital blackface then? After all, they did post a picture of Robert Downey Jrs controversial performance in Tropic Thunder, just sayin.

I think there's a lot of truth to the idea that people post these reaction memes with the goal of humor in the exaggerated emotions, which makes it not so different than minstrel shows. But CE is never going to critically approach this.
I'd agree to a point, not so sure I'd go as far as the minstrel show part, though. If it's done in a way that is mocking, like the fact they're black has some negative or diminutive connotation, I'd say its problematic. If it's more emulation, where the reaction just fits, I don't see much of an issue. Much of "black culture" is pop culture, I don't think it's fair to expect a significant portion of the population to refrain from emulating a significant portion of pop culture.

Ok, but would a white person actually act like that? That might be the issue. Idk. I think you guys get obsessed over boring shit

Yes it does get worse. I do think that it's fine to use gifs like that and stuff. I think the point is just maybe that it's not someone's kind of joy or anger or whatever.

I just don't like when white people link to shit like "black guy goes crazy over street magic". Sorry not sorry. it's considered wrong for a white person to act like that I think.

please use principle of charity

I don't have the mannerisms of Jim Carrey either but if I use an Ace Ventura reaction gif would you consider that problematic in the same way? Since it's about the way they act and all

as to this topic...if people are using memes to mock or denigrate black people that is obviously racism. if people are using images to 'other' people or any attempt to marginalize them, that is racism. people posting the crying jordan meme or w/e else the dipshit article is claiming is fine.

blackface is a racist af demeaning caricature, attempting to equate meme usage to that when the situation isn't the same or even remotely comparable is just dumb af

It's not nuanced at all
If you aren't black and are putting out gifs/memes of black people within a manner of projecting offensive stereotypes then it's bad

But the fact is the article is just an advertised for some douche's book so I don't really care to argue more

I don't want to be that guy but it looks like I'm going have to. I have seen more white people stereotype memes than any other stereotype memes out there. The most infamous one is Dave Chappelle sitting on the toilet. Do you honestly stand with your comment in an equal manner to all races?

I'm legitimately asking here for a purpose of being educated on the subject because there is legitimacy to it: if one posts a gif with no intention of it being used to mock or belittle black people, but just to have a funny or appropriate reaction to show how they feel at that moment, how would one know if they're doing digital blackface or just posting a funny image?
