Anti-blackness

The personal, cultural, social, legal, and structural attacks on people called black. A term that some feel should replace racism as it is more focused on black people alone rather than all people of color.
The denial of anti-blackness is a result of the politically white privileged society in which we live.

Blackwashing

blackwashing isn't a term and you shouldn't call someone making a white character black 'blackwashing'
my reason: black characters don't get much representation in media, like think of black characters, now think of white characters, see you have thought of a lot of white characters. though it is not okay to change a real persons skin color and call it representation.
person 1: "ugh they blackwashed my favorite character"
person 2: *explains to them that its ok to make a characters skin color darker and that blackwashing isnt a real term*
person 1: *understands and gets it*
and the conversation is over

BackSass

When someone makes a comment, and an outsider makes a snarky/negative remark for the sake of being a dick.
