Maybe you shared that viral video of Kimberly \\u201cSweet Brown\\u201d Wilkins telling a reporter after narrowly escaping an apartment fire, \\u201cAin\\u2019t nobody got time for that!\\u201d

Perhaps you posted that meme of supermodel Tyra Banks exploding in anger on \\u201cAmerica\\u2019s Next Top Model\\u201d (\\u201cI was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!\\u201d). Or maybe you\\u2019ve simply posted popular GIFs, such as the one of NBA great Michael Jordan crying, or of drag queen RuPaul declaring, \\u201cGuuuurl\\u2026\\u201d

If you\\u2019re Black and you\\u2019ve shared such images online, you get a pass. But if you\\u2019re White, you may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism.

You may be wearing \\u201cdigital blackface.\\u201d

What is digital blackface?
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.

These expressions, what one commentator calls racialized reactions, are mainstays in Twitter feeds, TikTok videos and Instagram reels, and are among the most popular Internet memes.

Digital blackface involves White people play-acting at being Black, says Lauren Michele Jackson, an author and cultural critic, in an essay for Teen Vogue. Jackson says the Internet thrives on White people laughing at exaggerated displays of Blackness, reflecting a tendency among some to see \\u201cBlack people as walking hyperbole.\\u201d

If you\\u2019re still not sure how to define digital blackface, Jackson offers a guide. She says it \\u201cincludes displays of emotion stereotyped as excessive: so happy, so sassy, so ghetto, so loud\\u2026 our dial is on 10 all the time \\u2014 rarely are black characters afforded subtle traits or feelings.\\u201d

Many White people choose images of Black people when it comes to expressing exaggerated emotions on social media \\u2013 a burden that Black people didn\\u2019t ask for, she says.

\\u201cWe are your sass, your nonchalance, your fury, your delight, your annoyance, your happy dance, your diva, your shade, your \\u2018yaas\\u2019 moments,\\u201d Jackson writes. \\u201cThe weight of reaction GIFing, period, rests on our shoulders.\\u201d
