‘Blackfishing’ :describes someone who pretends to be black on social media for social or financial gain
What is 'blackfishing'?

A newly coined phrase, 'blackfishing' describes someone who pretends to be black on social media for social or financial gain - 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.

How dare these transphobic bigots race shame their trans-black sisters? They're not attention-seeking Twitter whores; they're proud, strong African-American women who were, unfortunately, born in Caucasian bodies, qualitatively no different than any trans-man or -woman just looking for acceptance in Drumpf's Nazi Amerikkka.

Even if it resulted in profit, you couldn't pay me enough to be black or anything approaching it. -_-

This is fucking bullshit.

I hate when people steal my identity for their own gains.

Many generations ago a man on my fathers side impregnated an African woman in 1100s.

And now people are stealing my privilege like it’s nothing.

Re: ‘Blackfishing’ :describes someone who pretends to be black on social media for social or financial gain
Let's see you globalists on the left denigrate and put down white people all the time with terms like white privilege which is just a form of white shaming and say whites are inherently bad. You then act shocked and offended when some white people would rather not be white anymore and try to pass for another race. Remember when some black people way back when used to try and pass for a white person for financial gain by straightening their hair, dyeing it blond and trying to lighten their skin. How is this any different in this case where whites are now the ones discriminated against in terms of employment and college admittance and considered ugly and uncool.

Re: ‘Blackfishing’ :describes someone who pretends to be black on social media for social or financial gain
what is the gain here?

being cool?

being the flavor of the month?

being the chosen ones to replace whitey?

being someone social media types can feel sorry for?

another reason to avoid the socials...

it just gets easier and easier each day.

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.
