If you didn't know, it is racist to use black emojis, gifs, and memes. Apparently, every image of a black person must be the most positive image, because every individual black person represents the whole race. Anything that shows a black person in a less than ingratiating light (i.e. being human) must be disregarded. According to this video, using black emojis is cultural appropriation. Apparently, black people have a copyright on brown skin, so how dare you post that brown thumbs up emoji! To be clear, it is cultural appropriation whenever non-blacks use an element of black culture, but it is not when black people "borrow" various cultures' music, clothes, and sacred traditions in hiphop. The same person screaming cultural appropriation will bump Wu-Tang with a tattoo of Chinese characters on their neck while cooking Mexican food with a Redskins jersey on.
