CNN is being pilloried online after its news site posted an analysis piece singling out white social media users as guilty of “digital blackface” if they use a GIF or meme featuring an African American celebrity.
John Blake, a writer for CNN.com, is the author of a piece titled “What’s ‘digital blackface?’ And why is it wrong when White people use it?”
According to Blake, white people who share internet memes featuring black people “may have inadvertently perpetuated one of the most insidious forms of contemporary racism.” He cited popular GIFs and memes featuring Tyra Banks from the reality TV show “America’s Next Top Model” as well as the “Crying Jordan” meme showing a teary-eyed Michael Jordan.

And why is it wrong when White people use it?Because everything white people do is wrong. Other races can do the same thing and it's fine. Where has this guy been?

Black people who use anything invented by white people should stop immediately.

White men would darken their faces to create caricatures of black people, including large mouths, lips and eyes, woolly hair and coal-black skin.
The performances would stereotype black men and women as ignorant, hypersexual...”
So, it was sort of how drag queens mock women.

You are always racist.
If you never post a gif of someone of another race, it must be because you are racist.
If you do post a gif of someone of another race, it must be because you are racist.
If you want more police in high crime areas, it must be because you are racist.
If you want fewer police in high crime areas, it must be because you are racist.
If you don't buy that CO2 emissions are affecting the climate dangerously, then it must be because you are racist.
You are always racist unless you agree with what the Left tells you to agree with for the given week...no matter how stupid what they say is or no matter how often is changes.
Even if you agree though, if you are white you are just secretly racist and should hate yourself some too boot.
You are always racist, because saying so gives the Left power to manipulate those stupid enough to be so manipulated.

I have a handful of go-to gifs and memes. I NEVER pre-screen them for race.
Tracy Morgan's NO is the best in that class. He just happens to be black.
Same with Eddie Murphy's classic 4th wall breaking.
These people have waaay too much time in their hands.

John Blake, a writer for CNN.com, is the author of a piece titled “What’s ‘digital blackface?’ And why is it wrong when White people use it? And how I was appointed by GAWD as the arbiter of truth and am hence qualified to condescendingly lecture to you peons about what is right and wrong!” There, fixed it!
