Neo-Blackface 

When people of full or partial African descent, who are not Black Americans themselves, promote or portray negative stereotypes of Black Americans to gain wealth and fame. Especially applies to artists, actors or media personalities that express disdain or animosity towards Black Americans and Black American culture in their personal lives but make money off of Black American culture in their professional endeavors.

Alternate Definition: Exaggerated, inauthentic or disrespectful portrayals of Black Americans by people of full or partial African descent who are not Black Americans.

I never liked Akon and that stupid song "Locked Up"...Akon is a neo-blackface artist.

Did you see Thandie Newton in that movie "Jefferson in Paris"...that was some neo-blackface BS."

So I heard Cynthia Erivo is doing another neo-blackface movie.

Candice Owens is on Fox News again speaking for "Black America" LOL You know...her usual neo-blackface schtick.

I thought DJ Akademiks was straight up New York...turns out he is Jamaican and doesn't really like or respect Black Culture. He's a neo-blackface DJ.

I heard Angela Bassett turned that part down because it wasn't realistic. Guess they'll find one of them neo-blackface actors to play the part.
