A recent phenomena that has increased with the popularity of Facebook where individuals who used to mail out chain letters can now show their friends how much they "care" by simply cutting & pasting a status update about a hot political or social issue. It is clear that this person really cares based on the "effort" dedicated to the cause. God forbid they actually volunteer some of their time or donate a few bucks to the cause - no they've made the ultimate sacrifice of select, copy & paste & we're all better thanks to their efforts.

Get the activistits mug.A person who posts and reposts memes everyday on Facebook and Twitter hoping to get a rise out of people and change their political stances and/or religious views. These people rarley if never go outside of their homes and do any real activism such as collecting names for a petition, holding signs, occupying spaces to make statements, majoring in politics in college and actually proposing or changing laws. They usually are just bummed out with the way things are going in life because their lack of work ethic, self sacrifice, and overall poor life decisions have led them to feel as though someone else is to blame and the best way they can get back at them is to post a meme on Facebook.
Dude, everyday this meme activist posts another shitty meme thinking it'll lead to some real change in the world. I wonder what he does for a living? Is he contributing to anything at all in society?

Get the Activist mug.It means anyone who fights for equal opportunity for black people. Often associated with the civil rights movement and started in the 1860s. During reconstruction, these activists started work. Most black activists are peaceful people. Martin Luther King Jr was one. He was kickass. Unfortunate ly some people associate black activists with Jesse Jackson and his kind. They say that black activist means a black first, whitey blamer. It is a wrong notion. Most blacks in the US tolerate white people. Inter racial marriages and etiquette are shown towards white people. So do not say that black activist means a reverse racist. Very few of the black activists are vile folks.
Person 1: Yo, black activist are racists.
Person 2: No they're not. Most black activists want to live in equality with white people. Jesse Jackson doesn't speak for them all.
