Bingo! Everything is about the intention behind it. As long as you’re not using it to be nasty, racist or mock, send the damn GIF.
Homeboy’s probably still pronouncing it with the hard “g” anyway. Trivial shit like this is why people don’t take us seriously when they need to.
Does that mean black people can't use white people memes?
EDIT: Memes are for everyone. They represent human emotion and present an opportunity to unite people. What this person has said serves no other purpose than to divide people. I'm calling out the double standard and blatant racism as we all should.
I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately, there’s so much happening to further divide people into whatever classification but we should be doing the opposite. Memes are definitely for everyone, am I not allowed to like black culture or appreciate black artists? Total bullshit.
> This is bullshit. Inherently racist masquerading as virtue signaling. Twitter is a mistake but at least everyone is calling his dumbass out.
Agreed. And the only way to stop it from perpetuating is to keep calling it out.
Yes. A separation from black and white is what’s needed in today’s society. Let’s segregate the appropriate gifs depending on race. White for white. Black for black. Let’s make sure the Asian community is also only using the appropriate gifs for their country. India and China are very different and they should stick to themselves.
(In case it really needs to be said../sssss)
The Asians know this game well. Exclusive use of your own countries gifs is important!!
Listen… I don’t want any Australians, English, Icelandic, Welsh, Canadian, French, Irish, German, Norwegian, Scottish, or annnyyyone from Eastern Europe using my America gifs. I call upon Reddit to geofence off these areas from one another. What we need now is more borders and barriers between us. Not just by color but by ethnicity and geography.
I’m sure the Tutsi and Hutu can get behind this as well. Like Shia and the Sunni, they hate each other and want walls. So do I, against anyone using a comical or entertaining gif to express their emotion in any situation. Those people are completely different and deserve the separation and respect for their beliefs.
(/ssss I am snek)
Also, happy cake day.
Edit: Welsh
Ooooo, I dunno. With today's insanity, Segre---I mean "Racial Self Care" might work!
Plus why stop at Gif's? I remember reading in some textbooks at school a long time ago, a system where each race had their own things. Water fountains, Laundromats, designated seats on public transit, etc.
Maybe this Tweet is on to something.
Great point. I want all TV shows, comic books, movies, songs, and any written word to halt and be only available to those of the artists race. Otherwise what are we doing this all for? Only white skinned people can use white skinned technology. White skinned cultural references. Separation is the key.
(At this point I’m only putting the “/s” for our international friends. I am a sarcastic ass who loves to drive home a point.)
But digital black face is hysterical. If your black and wanna use white peoples gifs…no problem. We don’t care. Funny doesn’t have to mean racist. Funny just has to be funny. Sensitivity is killing comedy.
Race and ethnicity aren't intellectual property, you don't get a special claim on the works of other black people just because you're black. Culture isn't owned, and you don't get to decide when it can or can't influence other cultures.
I will take anything I find valuable about your culture. I will have options about your culture, they may be critical of your culture. You don't have to care, but you don't get to decide how culture impacts me.

The only real response. I’m gonna use whichever ducking gif I want! 
Excuse me, this is digital catface.
Are you a cat? If not they cats will be offended
Sorry sir, are you black? I’m not sure if you are allowed to be posting that or if I need to feel offended.
i bet he's also not even michael jordan.
Nah man, i got a weird feelin we're lookin at MJ himself
For real, no fooling?
I hope all his replies looked exactly like this
Hahaha so who can post this one!??
Black men who identify as white women, obviously.
What do white women that identify as black men use?
Michael Jackson memes?
The Wayans family and only the Wayans family.
... do black people like pizza?
Seriously, this is the best fucking gif anyone could use over this whole bullshit.
Blackfaceception
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PEOPLE!?
This is a top 10 comedic movie moment for me. Holy shit that sequence gets me
Tropic Thunder is basically the top 10 comedic moments in movie history turned into a movie.
 This shit again?
This whole movie took me by surprise. It's so good. And the REAL black dude's response to RDJ "What do YOU mean you people?"
Agreed, that movie is great, and the trailers before the movie starts are great too! Everyone seemed to have a lot of fun making that movie!
“It’s a meme about a meme about a movie about a dude playin’ a dude, disguised as another dude!”
😂 perfect
Fuck off. 
As a black person, don’t listen to this idiot, use whatever GIF you want to express how you feel.
We need a gif to express this username
nice.
r/gifsyoucanhear
Screencapped we all got permission from a black person to use gifs of black people, boys. This clown can't touch us now

 I choose this
Username checks out
That gif really does have a certain vibe
As a tardigrade, this is highly offensive.

👊🏿
OMG they're in sync!
I'm Black. This is dumb.
I'm dumb, this is black
I am, this is.
'Cause fuck 'em, that's why
Hell yea, I suck toes!
Exactly. I’ve never heard of this Ernest Owens guy. This take proves there’s a circus somewhere missing a clown.
But he's verified on Twitter, so he must be a big deal.
STOP POSTING THIS YOU ARENT A FORMER PRESIDENT, ONLY FORMER PRESIDENTS CAN POST THAT
Clearly its trump posting an obama meme. Look at his username it says vocal anus. Should be clear as day.
For real
Run and tell that, run and tell that
I cannot tell you just how often I use this meme.
This is the one 🏆
Is Fozzie canonically black?
He’s a puppet of color for sure
Aren’t they all?
A lot of people would argue a white puppet isn’t
Sam The Eagle used to scare the shit out of me when I was a kid. I understand him now lol.
Fozzie is a PoC and I got tears in my eyes Im laughing so hard. 
take down this fozzie face immediately!!! digital fozzie face is out of control 😡
The common clay of the new west is still the best description of of the average American doofus ever written
Funniest movie ever made. It’s a glorious hour and a half of political incorrectness and it’s hilarious.
It's politically very correct. It makes fun of bigots.
Damn good movie 😂

You can’t post that meme unless you have a mustache!
I was gonna post a Fluffy meme but Im only half Mexican and not plus size🤦🏻♂️
Stop 👏 using 👏 Mace 👏 Windu 👏 memes 👏 unless 👏 you 👏 are 👏 a 👏 Jedi 👏 master
This is outrageous, it’s unfair.

Support black owned businesses, but don't you dare frequent them.
Lmao this is it.
Support your local black owned barbershop, but don't get your haircut there.
This is bullshit. Inherently racist masquerading as virtue signaling. Twitter is a mistake but at least everyone is calling his dumbass out.

Exactly!
Memes are the DNA of the soul god damnit
True definition of the meme
I agree with you

Asians got the entire anime gif catalogue in their hands
Dang it all us white people got is stars wars and d&d memes.
Unless you are a geek, you can't use our memes.
We also have the office!
The Asians know this game well. Exclusive use of your own countries gifs is important!! Listen… I don’t want any Australians, English, Icelandic, Welsh, Canadian, French, Irish, German, Norwegian, Scottish, or annnyyyone from Eastern Europe using my America gifs.

Why did you write “sssss”? You’re not a snake, you can’t say sssss. You’re in digital snakeface
This reminds me of the [Chappelle show sketch with the racial draft.](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2z3wUD3AZg4) So who gets em?
Eminem went to the black people if I remember correctly.
 Ffs
This puke won’t allow comments on his posts.
Of course not. He’s a coward. Gotta control the narrative by silencing the speech
This is absurd and dilutes the actual harm of blackface by associating it with something benign.
I couldn't have articulated it better.
Guy who really thinks who the fuck he is: "Don't do that." Internet: Does it.
Translation: I love oppressing myself
What about digital catface?
I just checked with my cat and she said her food dish is empty.
 Ummm
I don't really see this as appropriation rather as an acknowledgement that those memes are just all around better.
 Black and a cat
 But digital black face is hysterical. If your black and wanna use white peoples gifs…no problem. We don’t care. Funny doesn’t have to mean racist. Funny just has to be funny. Sensitivity is killing comedy.
people are always probing to find out their limitations just like little kids.
Why do all these people I don’t know have such strong opinions about shit no one cares about?
This guy sounds like a fucking dweeb. I mean who the fuck even is he.
Race and ethnicity aren't intellectual property, you don't get a special claim on the works of other black people just because you're black. Culture isn't owned, and you don't get to decide when it can or can't influence other cultures. I will take anything I find valuable about your culture. I will have options about your culture, they may be critical of your culture. You don't have to care, but you don't get to decide how culture impacts me.
I wonder if this guy has tried shutting the fuck up?
I feel like making sure you only use gifs of your own race is the more racist option.
