What's 'digital blackface?' And why is it wrong when White people use it? | CNN

If you’re Black and you’ve shared such images online, you get a pass. But if you’re White, you may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism.

Put simply: digital blackface is 21st-century minstrelsy.

and

It’s a tough question. But in the meantime, if you are a White person who is contemplating using a “hold my wig” GIF, you should consider the advice Jackson offers in her Teen Vogue essay to White people who playact being Black online.

Jackson writes:

“If you find yourself always reaching for a black face to release your inner sass monster, maybe consider going the extra country mile and pick this nice Taylor Swift GIF instead.”

so the last part appears to use a stereotype that racist whites are country people (go the extra country mile) and there's no admonition that POC not use memes from outside their race.

While genocide isn't funny, your outrageous is funny. Whites have attempted genocide against Native Americans, South Africa during apartheid, and via land lust loggers and farmers are actually doing it now against indigenous people of the Amazon. Try getting outraged about that instead of just stupid statements made by stupid people.
