blacksplain 

Shrugging off someone's sharing of information or knowledge on a subject, especially topics of race or culture, as being motivated by their whiteness, your blackness, or some other aspect of race and racism. Blacksplaining is often done in the same breath as accusing another person of whitesplaining. See "whitesplaining" for more information. Blacksplaining is a backhanded form of racism, a red herring which decides the white person is innately racist instead of the black person who just hates the white person for talking at all.

White person: "I went to China last week to practice my Chinese. I didn't realize that they had views on black people that are worse than most places in the west. I heard some Chinese people calling black Chinese residents actual racial slurs in front of them."

Black person: "Stop whitesplaining."
White person: "I'm sorry... I was sharing something I learned which I didn't previously know. I know that not a lot of people are aware of the various types of racism worldwide, and I definitely wasn't. So I was just sharing what I saw firsthand. I didn't realize sharing knowledge was whitesplaining."

Black person: "Why don't you just stop being a racist, how about that?"
White person: "It actually sounds more like you're trying to blacksplain me."
