Rhetorical Backwash

A verbal condition found in humans, usually undesirable, that continues long after an event has occurred. At times it takes on the form of arrogance, bombast or an excuse. Clogging the instrument of delivery may be most useful.

blackwash

When a non-black person criticizes a black person, he may feel there is a need to disprove the influence of racism on his opinions. So, he proves he's not racist by citing another black person who also criticizes the first black person. Stephen Colbert coined the term on September 24th, 2009.

Blackwash can be used as either a noun or a verb.

Mr. White: I've been saying for a long time that Mr. Black's policies are terrible. An African-American writer from the New York Times criticized him too.

Mr. Black: Don't blackwash me. Why do you need to point out that the writer is black?

A term made my Racist/Anti-Black people to justify their hatred.
This term can often be seen in anime or gaming fandoms followed by racist/anti black remarks.
