Encountered this term for the first time today, and find myself immediately confused. In my (non-sarcastc) attempt to stay as “woke” as I can, I reach out to the Forum. Blackfishing, as I understand it, involves White people, mostly performers, adopting Black tropes (including darkening their skin) in an attempt to be “cool”. Nothing new there. Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis Presley. But, if I am reading this right, isn’t race swapping in movies the ultimate example?
