[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What you’re talking about, OP, is being intentional about not misappropriating images of Black people (or other marginalized groups) to express how you’re feeling. If the image is of someone already in the public, ie Prince, Oprah, Obama, then it’s fine. They’ve been well-paid for the work they’ve done. So to answer your question, yes, you can use that image of Prince.

Okay:

Not okay:

Oh come on! No one who sends a gif of that cute little boy is impersonating him. They're enjoying the cute kid dancing picture. [/quote]

Let’s be honest: you’re  not sending that gif because you’re showing someone how cute he is. You’d send when you’ve just had something amazing happen like you got a raise. You say, “Here’s how I’m feeling right about now,” and you’d include this gif. If you’re white, not okay. Find a happy white kid dancing. [/quote]

Why is it not okay?[/quote]
