Exactly,

black people are not here for other people's entertainment. My point exactly.

I think black europeans are trying to prompt black americans to stop making a fool of themselves in public, especially since there are wannabes and copy cats out there ready to stereotype and appropriate culture.

A friendly reminder.

Someone tell tiffany haddish that she's a disgrace, and stay off of SNL.

Blackface is meant to insult black people in a society where they are the minority. Using emotes and black culture because you're interested in it is not insulting. If black people were to continue to think so, then all they're really asking for is to be treated as an outside group and entertaining ideas like segregation.

"Let us decide for ourselves how we wish to be perceived." That makes no fucking sense.

"Hey, man. These non-blacks are starting to look up to us and identify with us in certain things. **** them, they must be racist."

Smh.

I change my mind. Ban emojis now!

It's the same thing as blackface to use emojis!


And people are sensitive, what if they are offended!

This video is more like bullshit.

"If you aren't black, you cannot use or relate to anything that is black.."

Gee, where have I heard that narrative before?

Blackface then were used to depict Africans as anything that is exotic is put in the "zoo" so they can't really act.
Whites have to portray them and thus the Blackface is born. This is similar to what the yellows are doing when they have to play a nonyellow character. Due to not having the right people to play the character since they are uniformly yellow, they would have the adapt and portray other races that are not of their own, mainly due to language barrier as they could hire internationally.

The reason why Blackface is a big NO is due to the whites portrayal of the blacks. As the videos explained, they are normally depicted in a derogatory fashion.


This claim of "digital blackface" is a ruse. The whole world uses emotion gifs, regardless of race. She makes it as if they are used to mock the race.

"exaggerated blackness" ~ WTF is that? That is the most offensive thing I've ever heard. So you mean to tell me that anyone that is not black is not even allowed to react in the same fashion as they do?
Hmmmm.... Where have I heard that being imposed before? Or rather when?

She makes a point about the emoji usage.. I never really bothered and most people really just use the default anyways. I kind of think it's stupid to make other colours as that would be more segregation.


To the end, she makes a note of a disclaimer: "You don't have to black to post these GIFs" Yet her entire narrative has been scrutinizing people of other colour, more specifically targeted towards white people (racist much BBC?). I mean she even specified it throughout the video.

Do you know why we use those gifs? It is NOT because we (all races in general) use them to demean blacks (kind of dumb for black people to use those gifs as well then if that is the case). It is because it is relate-able; because it is from a famous scene or person.

She just pretty much demonizes anyone who uses gifs that have black people, and the worst of it all, she specifically targets whites. Well yellows, tans, and browns use them too. Why aren't they scrutinized? Yellows are the most racist nowadays, why is the world not outraged? They use the excuse of "preserving culture" yet if some Europeans, who are really losing not just their culture but their lands, are pressured to be culturally appropriated.

This is why white people do this cultural appropriation because they are no longer be allowed to be white. They think that they have to blend in. They think, in order to be cool, they have to be like the others. This is the reason why they find them exotic or cool.

We see this problem occurring. If black people's culture is to front a thug life, we see other races being culturally appropriated. People start borrowing the slang, the wrong use of grammar, purposely mispronouncing words. Having the ghetto mannerism.

Which I might add that that is racist. Black people are not scum. I see blacks turn on each other claiming that well-behaved, well-mannered black is a traitor.

Stop trying to make things be about racism. I thought we are passed the whole segregation thing and yet so many people wish to be segregated. Yet for the whites, they are forced to be integrated.

Those days when white people got a kick out of copying black people, so they came up with blackface, cause they were secretly wannabes. Times haven't changed too much, it's just less direct, nowadays. People hate what they can't control.

"Digital blackface", lmao, are just wannabe black people, who are obsessed with the preconceived idea of a black person.Stop watching so much t.v, kids.

This is the stupidest speech I ever have seen.
She is being racist if you ask me.

Why do we use those gifs?

Because they express what we want to express. Nothing more.

Is black color of cloth only for them? Are we trying to make fun of them?

Do Black People are being racist wearing white cloth?

This so wrong.

black guy here *waves* you folk can do what you want. These technicalities are hilarious. If you want to rock some darkness go ahead. It's all about context anyway. ANyway, if you've got black friends and say niggha around those black friends like it's a part of your dna nobody will criticize you, especially if you use it a million times in a sentence lmao

Most of them don't really dislike any of the things they speak on, they just wanna be seen or feel like they're obligated to speak against something like that. #Fact, we are just as racist as our paler folk

I have no qualms having said that I'm not black. There's a weird attempt to be too politcally correct, the lefts gone stark raving mad. I'm seeing the decay of the world in front of my very eyes and libtards everywhere.

Ps. Be careful there's a member who'll call you a racist bigot because your posting about a black people.
