Blameriphilia

A cultural phenomenon rooted in a longstanding and ongoing fascination with, admiration for, and attraction to Black American culture, heritage, and identity.
Blameriphilia is at an all-time high. There hasn’t been a cultural craze surrounding another culture at this level in recent memory since Egyptomania.

Blameriphile

A person who is fond of Black Americans or engages with the cultural patrimony, history, and creative legacy of those descended from U.S. slavery.
It's an open secret how big of a Blameriphile they are; you can tell by how enamored they are with Black American culture.

Blameriphilic

Marked by appreciation for, engagement with, influence from, or solidarity with the lived experience, cultural heritage, and creative output of Black Americans descended from U.S. slavery.
I wouldn’t quite call them a Blameriphile, but the way they stood up for and unflinchingly defended Black Americans was undeniably Blameriphilic.
