However if it was a photo of a disgruntled white person, looking annoyed with another white person, it becomes a commentary of something completely different.

Thu, 19 Feb 2015 16:25:22 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=830#comment-261This is an interesting point. I think what you are getting at is that memes/humor on the Internet work to “race” just as much. By imposing Kanye’s face on some objectively ridiculous things white individuals have done, it pits a black man against a white man. It says “this is what white people do” and “this is how black people respond to it”. Maybe unlike what Senft and Noble say humor regarding race on the Internet is a double edged sword. It can expose (like SWGSBG), but it can also work to further the action of “racing”.

Wed, 18 Feb 2015 00:12:07 +0000http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=830#comment-243I think you bring up a really important issue here in online content -that is of humor supposedly taking the edge off racial commentary. I had never heard of the term “micro-aggression” before reading this week’s articles, however, I can definitely say I’ve witnessed many accounts of this on social media through friends and followers. Although I am not the biggest fan of people posting political, racial and/or religious drama on social media, I do my best to be open to reading both sides of the argument before I make a judgment about a person and their beliefs. Unfortunately, this is extremely difficult when family members use these platforms to openly discuss and promote their ideologies that aren’t in line with your own, because they ultimately reflect back onto you, as you are a part of their family. We need to learn as what should be saved for the debate table, and what is appropriate to share online.
