What is 'blackfishing'?

A newly coined phrase, 'blackfishing' describes someone who [b][u]pretends to be black on social media for social or financial gain[/u][/b] - using make-up, hairstyles, or even surgery to alter their appearance and adopt characteristics typically associated with women of colour.

In November a post on calling out the 'alarming' amount of 'white girls cosplaying as black women on Instagram' was liked nearly 50,000 times on Twitter.

It prompted users to flood the thread with before and after snaps revealing drastic changes to certain influencers' appearance.

I thought black people were discriminated against and suffer hardships as a result of being black? This article implies that there are HUGE BENEFITS TO BEING BLACK. Oopsy! these people are so stupid that they basically discredited their victimization claim proving that blacks are a social class which receives outrageous benefits based soley on skin color and they are pushing their victimization claims even further to receive even more special treatment at the expense of whites who receive punishment for being born with white skin.

Bingo! I don't think some black people have gotten the message they are not the persecuted group anymore.
