Comments on: Kanye West’s Face and White People http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/kanye-wests-face-and-white-people/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: Skylar_Elis http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/kanye-wests-face-and-white-people/#comment-276 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 20:08:04 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=830#comment-276 I think it’s funny. It also is a stab and Kanye as a forever disgruntled person. 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.

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”.

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.
