A new CNN piece says 'digital blackface' needs to be done away with. It's the phenomenon of white people using Black memes and/or GIFs to react to things on the Internet -- which has become common practice on Twitter and elsewhere.

writer who defined it. He goes on to quote that author as saying,"[T]he Internet thrives on White people laughing at exaggerated displays of Blackness, reflecting a tendency among some to see 'Black people as walking hyperbole.'"

Blake continues to reference Teen Vogue in zeroing in further ..."[Digital blackface] 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." Now for the haymaker from Blake, who says digital blackface is wrong and that it should be halted. The reason ... he says it's embedded in racist traditions of making fun of Black people -- and while Twitter users in 2023 might not necessarily see it that way from the outside looking in, that's certainly how it's being perceived by many ... intentionally or not.

There are countless Black memes that the Internet regularly recycles -- including some that feature famous people from TV shows and/or movies -- but there's one that Blake focuses on in particular as his Exhibit A ... namely, theBrown had just experienced a legitimate tragedy at the time -- she was dealing with an apartment fire -- and while her remarks were animated/memorable ... they were coming from a serious place of fear.

Ditto for Antoine Dodson's TV news interview from years ago, where his family also had just gone through a truly terrifying encounter -- but his comments also went viral.

So now cause I’m white and I find some shit hilarious like everyone else that means seen as a bad thing I give up man…

Nobody offended stop makin offense outta thin air when y’all just scared to see us UNITE 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼🫱🏼‍🫲🏿🫱🏿‍🫲🏽

Speaking this is just wrong. Please stop sharing it. We aren’t this petty and don’t care. Y’all are making them seem like we complain about everything. No one rallied for this

Bring donlemon back now! CNN is seriously losing the plot and race baiting for ratings. Stewps

All the whyte people on social media purposely digging up posting black folks crimes all through black history month up until this.. The ones who dont post it see it and do t say anything so its like condoning it all.. Why so quiet now? Sandy hook, etc.. Now this? U accountable

Is this really what news organizations are really stirring up? This is getting ridiculous

🤣🤣🤣🤡

So white memes are ok, Asian 🙄

Agreed

Who cares?! 🤷🏽‍♂️ There more important problems people love to complain.

A meme is a meme is a meme. If it's in the meme library, I'm using the meme, no matter who gets pissed that I'm memeing!

This is another way of distracting people from the real issues. No one cares about memes

There is no way in hell that I will be giving up my Samuel L Jackson memes. Nothing racial about it, he is the best.

This is getting way out of hand.. 🙄use whatever GIF you feel like using

Whites seem to be highly infatuated with Black culture. Many whites and other non-blacks have taken on a blackcent, getting fades, crispy lineups, clothing, to trying to colonize HipHop. It's really pathetic and disrespectful. Why Is white culture not enough?

🙄

Like this?

Respectfully, shut the fvck up

Ok so that means black people cant use White memes

There’s no way I’m not allowed to use this meme anymore … it’s my go to

Anything else to whine and cry about🤦‍♀️

So let’s get rid of all memes than

Obtuse,STOP

Opposite,BLACKS doIt asWELL,.State of anyOnes Society,.Majority and Minority transfixed nytimes

Faux outrage for post engagement is annoying af

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Oh shut up 🙄

Ok!! 🤦‍♀️

🐂💩

JFC

Ohhhhh here we go 🥱

Slow news day apparently. just wanted to start ish and have people fight over nonsense.

ReplyGPT

Racism priming

This is insane.

Gtfoh I'll use a gif of any human I choose. This continuous push for divide is counterproductive to the cause.

Is this something that the black community is actually offended by or is it some outrage porn started by a white person?

Oh c’mon! 🙄

Oh people need to get over themselves.🙄🙄

white folks don’t like it when you tell em they shouldn’t do something lol

These nukes from Russia can't come fast enough 🤦‍♂️

Lmao at all this misplaced outrage…if only people were outraged about things that actually mattered…

Don't you DARE come for Sweet Brown!

These people just making shit up. Its all for attention.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

'Cool' 🤙🏿(im white)

africaupdates

I agree. It is also racist to have your Twitter in dark mode if you are white.

So you’re saying I can’t use this one or is it ok cause he is white playing a character playing a character?

Thats ridiculous, if your using your iphone and the only gif available that conveys your message has a different color face than your own, you can’t use it? This is becoming childish on so many levels.

This just continues to separate us into races. Aren’t we trying to end that?

Ain’t nobody got time for this Nonsense

So…when black people use white memes

That’s a white liberal habit. They should deal it with their own kind

Guess I’m meme racist then 🤷‍♂️

Lol what a racist joke like always

Ain't nobody got time for that!

Every race uniting in their disdain for cnn right now like,

I stopped doing it awhile ago because I read about this issue and I always strive to be a good human. Here’s the problem tho. As usual, Black people do it better. The memes are cooler, funnier, and make the point better than white people ever could. But I still refrain.

Destroy the program.

Next up: “Guy who doesn’t use black people in his memes is called a racist”.

TMZ seems to be trying to become the new Breitbart

And i thought we cant get any dumber

More made up 'offenses'.

🤣🤣🤣

Deflection from their own cultural issues.

WokeWoofDog

Who sits and thinks this shit up

If they just pay Lou Anne royalties, it'll be OK. A lot of people are doing worse things for more!

All the memes we'll ever need are in these comments. Thanks!

Good luck with monitoring that..😵‍💫

CNN is a joke.

🖕🏿🖕🏿🤷🏿‍♂️

Well that’s too bad because right now “I got bronchitis”!

But I love Medea.

That's not what digital black face means

what do non athlete black men do for money? I know some of the answers

What isn’t racist? would just be easier to list those items..

Oh Lordy! I hope dat don’t happen!

Jesus christ....let me off this fucking, messed up, woke and delusional world. 😒

CNN is a joke!

Isn’t assigning memes by race….racism? God help us 🤦🏻‍♀️

How many times are you going to post this💩?

Genuine question - are black people really offended by this or is this just white people saying black are offended by this for clicks? 🤔

Unless deliberately intended, the connotations of a meme are not related to race. For the most part, people use memes to express themselves and convey their feelings, and sometimes a 'black meme' can be highly suitable and has no racial implications.

Look at the headlines of all of his CNN articles

Same with the Karen videos. Quit with the labels. Not cool all the way around.

TMZ are you lying again Creating false race issues doesn't your country have enough problems? Hell seems my black brother's & sisters aren't offended at all. Brother's & sisters you say? How my mom raised me

So, CNN is telling black people what to do and believe? This sounds very familiar to another time in history...

Put something about a particular religion on here and hear the babies start crying… FOH!👦🏾

Ok, I’m scrolling through your stupid articles for two weeks.. keep it up, it’ll be three!

I’m black FYI!👦🏾👍🏾

Bullshit I pick the funniest one that pertains to why I use it I’m not the racist you are for thinking that way

SMH

Am I missing something or is that one of dumbest takes ever muttered?

No surprise here… Wyts have nothing of their own

CNN are racist and AntiAmerican

QUESTION: How do you know who's black or white on the internet 🤨 JustStupid

Relax everybody this is not a real thing

I use the appropriate meme no matter the color 🤣

Say what?

What if it’s a black cartoon?

So does the same thing apply to non white people using memes with white people?

Who ever thought of this is a lame person with no sense of humor, GIF for the 99% of the population is using facial reactions to stupid comments. If anyone is offended by this then I must be the biggest digital blackface offender ever. Grow up butterflies, live life not cry!

Diversity Equity Inclusion

As long as blacks can’t use memes with white people it’s cool

Oh BULLSHIT! We could care less. Just like I always use white meme’s or GIFs. CNN is SUCH 🗑️!!

🙄 FFS

Idiotic. I am a white girl. If I used a cat meme then i …personally identify as a cat?😶🙄😖

If anyone (of any color/race) chooses to make a fool on camera, you are fair game. Who makes this shit up? “Digital Blackface” 😂😂

No one watches cnn ... this piece is one of the reasons why ..🤷🏻‍♂️

Naw…. That’s a stretch

CNN: showing Black people what should offend them

Are there any gender restrictions? What about other races? How do animals fit into meme segregation? Will rules be posted?

I don't discriminate race, color, creed or sexuality when I choose a meme. I select the meme I find funniest and/or best fits the message I'm sending. Feel free to mute/block if you're offended by my memes as no fucks will be given.

At this point let’s just take the whole internet away because holy shit

🙃

Does that only apply to black memes or are we only allowed to use meme that correlate with one's: race, sex, gender, sexual orientation, social economic class, religion, etc 🤔 🙄

Are we segregating memes now?

It should be illegal for white people to do anything.

Seems worse to categorize. Exclusionary. Support the memes. They are for everyone.

Why did y'all choose this meme?

I use this meme 20 times a day… does this mean I can’t use it no more

Does anyone care?

Gtf over your self 😂😂

Str8 Up!! Plus I Notice The Ladies Getting Outta Hand Wit Dat Slick Shit With Their Undercover Racist Ass

What do you mean, like this?

So just do away with all stereo types right? 😂🤣 Mann leave the memes alone… If they don’t fit who you are laugh Cause we all have a family member that fit some type of stereotype

This is getting out of control now. OMG 🤦🏾‍♀️

Digital black face is white people pretending to be black on social media. Not using memes. Example 🔻

i agree

There’s also a new phenomenon where cnn writers look at everything through skin color and it’s called being a racial arsonist.

Is it racist if people of other ancestry use memes of clearly European american people. This is just ridiculous a Gif it's a moving picture expressing emotion or thought . That's all. I could care less what Gif anyone uses.

🤡

How many times you guys gonna repost this today 🤣

Really, TMZ? You want me to sort through gifs before posting? Aint nobody got time for that

😂😂😂Those people are something else.

Ok so if I Stan a black female and am a fan of hers I can’t react to a comment with a gif? How am I going to cope without my Kenya Moore gifs? 😢

k, i get it. don’t discriminate but like also fuck the internet

Well until Eddie tells me to stop using his memes because I’m white I’ll continue to support and use funny memes of not just black folks (some I love) I’ll post memes of animals, crappy politicians and out of touch movie stars and the ridiculous people of the internet so🖕🏼

'Ain't nobody got time for that' ( whatev CNN wrote). I love Sweet Brown. Her interview was epic!!! Someone made a song. ❤️

You all keep listening to MSM wake up! They want to divide us because we're too strong for them. United, we win, don't you get? The majority of people are not racist. We need to band together, not be divided.

That’s great let’s separate the wold even more and then hike we are at it continue racial separation segregation…not with this nonsense for likes views and “news” you’re done, your time is over tmz ….

Where will it end? Can I still wear AIRJordans and my Koby jersey? Or is that considered racist as well?

In order for it to be blackface you'd have to be pretending to be that person/race. Using a meme of someone else is not pretending to be that person.

I am so tired of people that un ironically think this way. I think it’s time for people who say dumb shit like this to be ostracized from society. No wonder the rest of the world views America as a joke. There’s an ongoing conflict and American news is like “meme=racism lol”.

As a BLACK MAN, I don’t give a shit and a half. Carry on my waffle colored homies.

I saw this on a post where a girl said it but she wasn't actually serious about it. Now it is?

😂😂😂

Don’t be manipulated by race grifters, white or black or CNN or whatever… whites blacks race If you’d rather listen to some real world wisdom…

😂😂🤣🤣✌🏼💩

Daa ya es un montón

What about a cow using the memes?

Next they'll be saying that if white people like ANYTHING from black people or culture it's racist.

CNN 🤡

OMG WHO CARES!!?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

More important things going on in the world beside race baiting TMZ.

Who cares what fake news CNN says ,

Thats so funny. CNN really be trying to brainwash people.

More reaching by CNN trying to violate our first amendment rights.

Why CNN is what it is…

CNN are both using this to keep us divided. They know exactly the conversations that will be had and the arguing back and forth it will cause. Please don’t give them the satisfaction and move about your daily lives. 🙏

I don’t get offended by memes depicting Italians in “typical italian behaviors”. I think they’re hilarious

mammy mammy mammy

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡

So basically nobody is allowed to laugh anymore; just offended?

Oh well.

Love watching all the hit dogs hollering about this

if i remember right, that lady ended up doing a bunch of commercials and tv shows?

Ain’t nobody got time for this article

Since I knows it makes CNN mad, I will be doing more sharing of digital black face on the internet

As a black man I have to say this is the stupidest yet funniest thing I’ve seen today

Ridiculous

if this is true, i want people to then stop sending me tiger king and honey booboo memes.

I’m sorry I use memes to communicate the feeling. I’m not looking at the color of the skin and I will continue to do so. Hispanic, Asian, Irish whatever. People this is getting weird

CNN is in fact nothing more than a bunch of race-baiting douche bags.

Wtf

Omg this is getting ridiculous.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And there it is, the dumbest thing I'll read all day. Other than maga tears.

Wow!

Com’on man! Ain’t no body got time for that!!

I’m so sick of the media trying pin people against each other

Let people show their hatred so we know who the hater's are. And deal with them wisely.

Beyond ridiculous, on a separate note, how in god’s name will it be enforced?🤣🤣🤣🤣

CNN 📉

This is pushing it, this world is fucking ridiculous 🤦🏻‍♀️🖕🏻

Blacks use white people in memes. Hispanic people who use blacks in memes. Blacks use Hispanic people in memes. White people use Hispanic people in memes. Everyone makes fun of each other. Everything that happens in the world is not always targeted and done with bad will.

But it's racist if white people don't use PoC gifs/meme. Race baiting cnn

Alright we need to chill! Seriously!

🤡🎃🤖👽 are those still ok? Or those s offensive too?

Omg stop…. This was obviously written by white people

CNN, WE ARE NOT OFFENDED. This is petty and reaching. You’re making us look bad by accusing us of being this sensitive. This is NOT what racism looks like. CNN

Let´s do away with ´physical blackface´ - the phenomenon of white people smudging their face black and not the rest of your body.

I literally pick a random gif that fits my humor. FreeTheGifs

Haha

Shits getting weirder and weirder I tell ya

What about Whiteface?

No. Keep using our memes. They’re so funny sometimes people look up where they’re from and it gives exposure to black tv and movies.

OH MY GOD WHY DO WE KEEP DIVIDING PEOPLE OVER A NON-ISSUE? REPORTS LIKE THIS CANT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BECAUSE THEY ARE UNBELIEVABLE AND REACHING TOO HARD.

🤦🏼‍♀️ Ffs Can we just stop reading into everything!! F*¿K!!

'Ain't nobody got time for that'...

Nah I'll do what I want GTFOH 😂

So now we’re only allowed to use memes/gifs that match our race? Got it

Only if we agree black people cant use memes with white people in them. See how stupid this is?

Seriously!! That’s right it was used because of that!! Not!!! It was funny she was funny!! That’s why! Stop with the bill!!

People who use such things are literally trying to hide who they are and at the same time making it absolutely clear who and what type of person they are. All of this people hating and condemning others for their race, colour or creed has to STOP NOW!! Everyone needs to pray 🙏

🤦🏾‍♂️ too many people bothered by everything.

Will POC be able to use memes with white people?

CNN

This. Is. Nonsense. At some point we are going to stop this bullshit, right?

SEGREGATION IN DISGUISE - but most Black people will think it's empowering them. SMH 🤦🏿‍♂️

Me RN

CNN won’t be happy until they invite a race war.

Unless we as a people put an end to it. It will never change. Thank God for his word. The last shall be first. And those who are first now enjoy your ride. Every dog has its day!!!!

I’ll take this guy seriously when Black people stop using the N-word. It’s a despicable word that no one should use.

That’s right, make America white again, the black fist powers said so!

I can't believe people support CNN

Ok. I'll stop....

The number 1 GTA character's skin color is black even though most of the players are white dudes.

That’s too much…

Shouldn't that be the same vice-versa?

This has been a thing since at least 2016, not a new idea.

This is dumb. People pick memes usually based on how they are feeling, expression, or a message. So white people now can’t identify with a black persons meme? Give me a break.

This is what these people do. Saying that black folks are offended by something that we didn't even know was a thing. Stop it!

The left is about a couple months away from demanding that black people use different water fountains because it’s racist to share.

John Blake from The Dark Knight Rises did it better! 😂😂

Bored white Liberal women approve this message.

Is there a room full of people somewhere dreaming up ways for people to be offended?

Enjoy

🤣🤣🤣

Khaby Lame dislikes this.

😂

Memes are now racist?

Stop the nonsense.

So when are black people going to stop using white memes… can we stop this divisive propaganda by cnn. It’s disgusting!

Anyone else realize the hypocrisy? enoughalready

Why are so many (all) of the woke liberal people so racist?

CNN “writer” JohnBlakeCNN clearly has too much time on his hands.

BLM needs to shut the hell up!!! All life matters not just one small piece of society.

This is satire, correct?

I’m saying it right now I will always share my TherealCANDIACE gifs because I LOVE that woman and y’all can’t stop me 😭

Or maybe we’re not racists and/or not obsessed with skin colour & simply see an amusing meme appropriate to our tweet.

This is so extreme. It’s not that deep.

I'm Chinese, and I want to hear more about this.

No sane person cares about any of this. Digital Blackface isn’t a thing. This woke culture gets more tiresome by the day. Smh.

I'm about to use my Cricut to make me a shirt with MyAncestry report on it. This is getting out of control!!! JFC

Here we go again…

I'm white.. just saying

No it’s not

That would NEED to mean then, that black people wouldn’t be allowed to use memes of white people 💯it’s just not going to happen because humanity all emotionally relates to each other, so understand the feelings expressed in these gifs

TMZ just makin shit up now 🤣

So now people are offended by gifs? We are doomed !!!! 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s fairly obvious when someone is using it in a racist way. The idea that it needs to be stopped is like saying “racism needs to stop.” It’s low on the list of racist expression

Those people need to get over themselves!

What about the Canadian prime minister ? JustinTrudeau

Oh for God’s sake. Everything is wrong these days. If it’s funny I’m posting it. How do you know the race of posters, you don’t

We bigger problems

If people can not see for themselves what TMZ, CNN and all the other MSM is doing then your doomed.

What exactly are memes? If white people are using them for digital blackface, why aren't colored people using digital white memes?

Y'all crying about cnn but follow tmz 🤣

Who comes up with this?

Of course CNN says that.

This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard of! If someone ask me for something and I reply with the “ain’t nobody got time for that” meme, I’m now a racist Gimme a fucking break with this!

Cnn trying to erase black people.

TMZ aka Warner Brothers is just trying to create division. The government wants us fighting so we don’t pay attention to their illegal activities. Unite!

Aye, CNN, I as a black man will not be relinquishing the use of white memes, so respectfully…

Ain’t nobody paid attention to who used what meme regardless of race.

Oh I know the white folks are mad about this.

A good meme response for the moment can never be race based, it's the attitude and spirit that counts. More fake culture wars, please stop it. Insert any meme here...

K

Eh? You mean I can’t post the Carlton dance anymore when it’s Carlton dance off the scale happy

🤣🤣🤣🤣

CNN really out CNN’d themselves

🤡C🤡N🤡N🤡

Ohhh boyy!!

Jealous

This was for sure written by a white person.

It only history

POOR VICTIMS ANOTHER REASON WHY I WONT BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT

I’m so confused. Folks looking for attention.

News shouldn't be prompt

SAY WHAT!!!....

Oy vey...now we are making up reasons to be offended

Or it's just sharing a funny meme...

Too bad

LMAO!

NOPE

Does that mean that they can't use white ones?

😂🤣 amazing

So if I’m not an cat who likes lasagna, can I use a Garfield meme? I mean what the f? How about ALL MSM practice the phenomenon of impersonating real journalists and stop this race-baiting BS.

🤡🤡🤡

If it’s true what they say about the next meteor being a world ender, just let it hit. What’s the point anymore? Tell Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck they can just stay home. I mean, my God.

who cares?!?!

CNN is garbage race baiting org

Yeah ya…🚬🇺🇸

This is really embarrassing

This is dumb

I use this meme EVERY TIME someone I know posts something dirty. It’s a meme of a human spraying cleaner at something dirty. Who cares what race said human is.

What!?

They need Trump back in office. They're scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point.

Black people should stop using white people in memes then

Broken hacks

It is her actually saying it, and it is true, Ain’t nobody got time for that!!!

Ain't nobody got time for dat.

CNN is misrepresenting what Teen Vogue was talking about in 2017…

“CNN writer”

All the black gifs will disappear- wanna bet

CNN is blatantly conservative now. I wonder if is something they are saying to stir things up?

Sure, why bring people together with shared experiences and emotions, when we can just continue to divide and segregate? (I hope no Asian person is hurt by my choice)

Give me a break.

I see certain people using only black memes to denote “attitude, aggression, “ratchet ness”, and low class which I definitely resent and I see your prejudice

The comments🔽

CNN really is out of touch, aren't they?

Isn't DEI Diversity Equity Inclusion built on the very thing we're complaining about? If politically correct black people memes were used at the same rate would this even be a complaint? Are these complaints really about digital black face or is it about unidentified black faces?

There's also white, Brown, Yellow GIFs too. So no GIFs then?

I agree with him. And I think that Audio blackface on social media should be included as well in this conversation

When I post a meme, I am expressing a sentiment or action. In no way am I pretending to be someone I am not.

Give me a fkn break

I’ve never once thought about the person in the photo (half the time it’s a cartoon character) I only care about the emotion/reaction I’m trying to convey…

Gifs or memes have no colors....if it's good you use it.

Shut up 🤦🏻‍♂️

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen

This is just stupid now.

CNN also thinks they report news.

What if it's just a funny effing meme? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Omg....I really wish you all would find better stuff to discuss in the media. All this distracting bs media yall putting out is ridiculous.

CNN: showing Black people what should offend them

cnn creating unnecessary problems and getting away with it

I've never encountered a black person saying they were offended by this.

Who exactly is saying it’s a problem?

LMAO! Get a life JohnBlakeCNN

How do we stop every white woman being called Karen ? There’s a lot of stuff like these memes out here and it’s not just targeting one group.. it’s clear the movement was mishandled and there’s no leadership.. I can’t use a meme but I get called Karen on the internet?

This is something a liberal white person with a BLM in their yard would say

OMG🤦🏾‍♂️ When is Biden gonna fix the banks

I guess these comments aren’t giving the response TMZ was hoping for… go push your projected false racism somewhere else. We are all tired and over it.

Fine, but any black people can't use white people memes or from any other race, the same goes for asians, hispanic, muslims, blah blah, this is becoming IDIOTIC

Appreciating or finding value in black content is not blackface. It's appreciation. Making it into something It's not is a dangerous game.

Society as a whole needs to spend more time laughing and less time getting angry..

I can't keep up with the rules. Are we integrating or segregating black people from the rest of the country? These memes have nothing to do with race. It has to do with their expressions, because they express the sentiment of whatever statement.

Inventing problems that don't exist is the new black.

Get a fkn life people 🤣🤣🤣

CNN when you tell them we all come from Africa

So let's go back to segregation? Wtf doesn't bother people anymore?

We have the best memes

Woke white Democrat folks cancelling black represented memes like they did Aunt Jemima.

Stop!!!

Why even regurgitate this?

Lmaooo cmon now

Oh lawd ! Ain’t nobody got time for that!!!

CNN is the problem 😂

It’s funny tho lol

Clearly we give the best gifs!😬Stop your nonsense 🙄

I'm black. Frankly, some of the best reactions come from black ppl, namely black women. So with that said. Bye.

No, it's not. It's about impersonating a person of color--as in pretending to be black through a Twitter/Facebook/Instagram account, etc. It's not about memes. If it were, then I'd be the whitest man person on earth. 🙄

Umm no. I use whatever GIF my emotions are trying to express. Doesn’t matter the color of the person. Male or female. doesn’t matter it’s a GIF 🤣

You can't be serious...as long as muthaphuccas aren't being DISRESPECTFUL....

for fucks sake dude really .

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

Should people declare their 23 and Me results pages first to show their % black? I'm 2% Nigerian. Can I use memes featuring black people 2% of the time or just show 2% of the screen? What's the genetic purity cut off for meme use? More racial details.

🤦🏻‍♀️

Absurd!

Can white people use these?

The level of reaching on faux outrage is thru the roof

Y'all too sensitive. Giving power to the wrong shits. 🧘🏽‍♂️

I use white people all the time, didn't know I was offending the woke culture😂🤣🤣🤣😂

If you're gonna say this and make it official then it should count with ALL races not just white including mine, I am non white and non black. And I say this is EFFIN nonsense! 🙄

Imo digital blackface is when someone pretends to be black on social media and uses their fake account to push ideas or agendas not just using relatable memes and gifs

Hol’ up now

Must be a slow news day. I’m black I have never heard of a another black person even complaining about this. EVER

With sinking ratings, CNN is desperate to be relevant again so they make up a new way to create division..

Im wondering who in the Progressive pile of unholy shit will fonally step up and say, 'This is the line'

Agreed- it’s offensive

For fucks sake.

NotAThing Just more “woke” douchebaggery.

Alright I'll stop but black people gotta stop using this guy. Fair is fair

The pendulum swing back is going to be something else to watch. The world has gone absolutely crazy

This is an example of being 'too woke' 😅

I love this kid. Don't assume my race

CNN the network for promoting division

Maybe only white people should be able to fly in airplanes since white people created the first airplane? Anyone who flies in airplanes, and is not white, is guilty of cultural appropriation?

CNN needs to just STOP 🫤

Not gonna happen. They need to stop posting their school fights and not make the evening news.

this is way too far…

cnn. Always furthering and fostering division.

Wtf!!!! 😂🤣
