This seems crazy to me...I can't even understand it at all.  I mean, are we seriously just continuing to look for things to get offended about?

Thinking about this some more: "Digital blackface is a practice where White people co-opt online expressions of Black imagery, slang, catchphrases or culture to convey comic relief or express emotions",  to truly avoid doing this, imagine all the words non-blacks would need to omit from our  vocabulary... cool, hip, hep, dig, diss, "bad" meaning "good", "my bad"... the list goes on and on.  How the fuck does one keep track of all that?  I probably blew it just now saying "the fuck".  And not only that, what next- do we need to extricate all words that come from other cultures and races?  No more saying "ciao baby", "adios", "karaoke", "guru", "ballet"? 

If we consider this, we are screwed (probably also a word stolen from god know who):

Loanwords make up 80% of English

What this means is that there is no such thing as pure English. English is a delectable, slow-cooked language of languages. As lexicographer Kory Stamper explains, “English has been borrowing words from other languages since its infancy.” As many as 350 other languages are represented and their linguistic contributions actually make up about 80% of English!

I think one of the big differences with what that article in calling out digital blackface is it has nothing to do with the race. Someone made a funny catch phrase and went viral. 
When I think of Sweet Brown, it reminds me of the double rainbow guy. People quoted him a lot and it was around the same time. Someone says something funny and its recorded and goes viral, people are going to repeat and share it. 
Can only white people say "bi-winning" since it was made popular by a white guy?

I guess it’s up to individuals! I myself really never use any perceived words that are attributed to belong to black culture and I’d say I work with at least 60% black coworkers!

I don’t either in general conversation. But there’s a difference between using words associated with a certain group as part of your regular vocabulary and quoting someone and sharing a video.

This language shit is absurd. I guess the next step is white people can’t laugh at a black comedian since he might be making fun of other black people, ergo whites are making fun of blacks. 

But then we’ll find even reasonable folks defending this after the nutjob right start proclaiming that “black people are coming for 1A”. And the political chasm gets wider, even with most people falling into it.

Chris Rock saying “you and me” to Mr. Pelosi about the will smith slap.  I can only imagine the backlash if it was a republican.  Well on second thought a republican probably wouldn’t have been in his audience.  By the way CR is hysterical.  Sometimes the truth is the funniest material.  

IMO I don’t think most black folks would care if we laughed at black jokes, it’s just most white folks don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.  

Watch “you people” with Jonah Hill & Julia Louis Dreyfus.  She’s so good at the part it will make you cringe just watching it.

Hey I read where you said something about your four year old so I wanted to apologize about my comment that you don’t get it about school shootings because first, I shouldn’t have said it at all but secondly you do have a child.  You should have crushed me right then.  I’m sorry.

Thanks. I had already forgotten about that until you mentioned it. I know we usually don’t see eye to eye, but I assume most of us here are good people. So I’d rather not respond, no need to crush anybody.

You People was cute to a point.  When they laid on the thick stereo types is where they lost me.  I really hope people aren’t that inept at understanding other races.

So, maga's cancelling bud light because they're showing support for the gay community. 

To emphasize this, Kid Rock filmed a video of himself shooting up cases of bud light. 


Cool.
