As a forum of meme-oriented people, I thought I'd make sure you're all aware:

CNN Says You're Engaging in "Digital Blackface" - Breitbart

quote:

White people posting memes featuring black people may be guilty of “digital blackface,” according to a CNN senior writer who warned against the phenomenon, which he describes as one of the “most insidious forms of contemporary racism.”


Whew, that sounds really bad.

quote:

Digital blackface, Jackson claims, sees many white people opting for images of black people to express exaggerated emotions, and “includes displays of emotion stereotyped as excessive: so happy, so sassy, so ghetto, so loud… our dial is on 10 all the time — rarely are black characters afforded subtle traits or feelings.”

“We are your sass, your nonchalance, your fury, your delight, your annoyance, your happy dance, your diva, your shade, your ‘yaas’ moments,” Jackson writes. “The weight of reaction GIFing, period, rests on our shoulders.



I don't even know what any of that means. But I will say ole girl here looks like she can handle any weight on her shoulders you want to put there.

And as soon people stop using memes with black people, they will decry the lack of representation in memes.

"These white people use memes that don't look like me"

Book it.

Whites are racists via not being inclusive when they don't include blacks but whites are being racist when they do include blacks?



Cancel culture...



...is strange.

How does CNN know the memes are of black people? Are they biologists?

I was told that it was important for people of color to see others who looked like them in mass media/pop culture.

CNN: One of the many MSM outlets making Gateway Pundit look credible.

What fun would a meme be if it was a subtle expression?

These people are stupid.

Correct. Posting memes with black people is racist. But if white people stop posting memes with black people, that will also be racist.

Basically: you're a racist.

I have begun to think liberal outlets intentionally publish absurd things like this to get hits for their failing news outlets.

Write something over the top and Breitbart will pick it up, so will this site, boom, hits, boom, money.

Now at the point that the only thing we can ask is "what's next?"

Seems as though the only admonition remaining for the Left is, "you'll be considered racist if you don't go see the upcoming movie Chevalier a second time."
