While the definition of digital blackface can vary, it has been used to describe the phenomenon of non-Black people using digital media such as images and voices of Black individuals to explain emotions or phenomena. Digital blackface has been defined by Merriam-Webster as "the use by white people of digital depictions of Black or brown people or skin tones especially for the purpose of self-representation or self-expression".
[1] In his 2006 master’s thesis, Joshua Lumpkin Green coined the term "digital blackface" to describe how technology allows nonblack individuals to assume black identities.
[2] According to Aaron Nyerges, a Senior Lecturer in American Studies at the United States Studies Centre, digital blackface "describes the act of producing, posting or circulating ‘black reaction gifs’ online and especially on social media threads."
[3] Writer John Blake suggests that if a White person shares an image online that perpetuates stereotypes of Black people as loud, dumb, hyperviolent, or hypersexual, they’ve "entered digital blackface territory".
[4] The term has also been applied to situations where racial stereotypes are imitated and adopted online using memes, gifs, and "humorous" online identities that mimic and evoke offensive "thug" or "ghetto" stereotypes.
