If you didn't hear it Here, You'd never believe it.

A major part of internet culture is sharing pop-culture references as forms of reaction as opposed to a comment, now sharing these images may be racist.

Many online have been labeled as racist for sharing the imagery of Oprah Winfrey from her recent interview with Meghan Markle, in an act that has been labeled Digital Blackface.

Performing Blackness, be it IRL or online, is not an acceptable form of expressing reaction or dissatisfaction, especially not in exchange for likes and retweets,’ the organization wrote in its post.

The Slow Factory Foundation went on to insist that people shouldn’t be sharing the recent onslaught of Oprah memes just because they’re popular, suggesting that they are reminiscent of white people wearing blackface in minstrel shows.

‘Since the #MeghanandHarry interview on Oprah, we’ve been seeing a lot of digital blackface infractions with a few of Oprah’s reaction gifs and images going viral, but that doesn’t mean you should be using them,’ the non-profit explained.

So now, any meme we share is an affront to someone?

#See My Digital Bullshit Face!
