'“Blackfishing” refers to someone who uses things like hairstyling and makeup to create and enhance certain features to make it appear as if they have black heritage or are racially ambiguous.'
What does Americanising things have to do with anything?! Blackfishing is a problem because it allows a person to pick and choose the 'cool' parts of black culture and identity, without facing any of the discrimination that black people do.
No. There's a difference between wearing fake tan for a bronzed sunkissed glow, and wearing fake tan to literally look another race.
Ah get off the bandwagon will you. The girl slaps on a load of fake tan cos she thinks it makes her look good. It has duck all to do with black culture. Blackfishing- what a load of shite!
Calm down, and read the definition of blackfishing.
I'm curious, what exactly do you not agree with about the term??
Well I just don't buy into a term that has been conjured by someone to try to dictate to others what they can and can't do aesthetically with their own appearance. Simple as that. It's particularly ridiculous that somebody wearing a bit of fake tan can be deemed "blackfishing". Adele got a load of tit recently for putting a few plaits in her hair. And the funny thing is, it wasn't even black people that had an issue with it - they came out in support actually. And this is the problem, its generally, from what I see anyway, self righteous, "woke" white people jumping on the latest politically correct bandwagon they see on Twitter and trying to pontificate on others behalf instead and the real issues of inequality and racism get lost/ignored in the ridiculousness of it all.
I agree, I’m black and I don’t see Bla , charleen (as mentioned on her thread the other week) or any of the others as blackfishing - Jesy Nelson was a bit though with the accent and hair and all but that wasn’t even offensive she clearly likes the style which is why she’s trying to “copy” it.
Are you a moderator here?
That's not what the term does at all. You're kinda missing the point
...Considering you don't seem to be overly informed on the matter, I think that may be a good idea
And neither are you as evidenced by your own posts on this thread but sure ya know what, we'll leave it at that. But remember, just because somebody is offended it doesn't make them right. Have a nice evening!That's not what the term does at all. You're kinda missing the point

Just over the back and forth about blackfishing. BTW where is Domo is he abroad ?
Bla is dressing like a traveller and tan is too dark but I don’t think she’s trying to be a black woman ….if anything she’s dressing more like a Latino or Kim kardashian vibe than a black woman ….. her hair is straight and black and not braided etc , her figure wouldn’t really be the typical black woman’s figure & her dress sense is more gypsey style than black fashion , her lips are that cheap blown up towie look. Also her Botox and fillers wouldn’t really be something I would associate with a stylish black lady …. I think black fishing is a bit of a silly thing to say that she’s doing and a bit far fetched . Bla wrecks my head but “black fishing” is not what she’s doing here
She’s traveller fishing
Yeah, I like it but only thing is, I don't think its catchy enough of a phrase for the woke brigade. Do better!
Pike-fishing
I didn’t want to be attacked by saying this lolPike-fishing
