whacksplaining

Whacksplaining is when white people explain to a black person how to understand race relations or inequity, usually by informing them in some way they need to keep their opinion to themselves, or find a very non-offensive, if not almost hidden way to express their views.

Whacksplaining, a variation of mansplaining, where a man tells a woman something incredibly obvious to women, but tells it to them as if women are very stupid, has become incredibly common during the Trump administration. Race relations are at an all time low, and the President continued adding fuel to the fire.

Many times, the President would tell people it wasn't racist.

Like when he said after the Charlottesville riots that there were very fine people on both sides (one side was nazis) and then called pro-athletes who took a knee for race inequality and police brutality during the anthem sons of bitches who should be fired.

Whack-splainers will come up with a variety of reasons from patriotism to don't rock the boat, etc... as to why a black person may be blocking it out of proportion.

There may also be explanations of why protests don't work, and are bothering everyone else.

Ex. Suzy posted about an upcoming BLM protest, but many of her friends and relatives flooded her Facebook page with so much whacksplaining, it wore her down so she didn't go.
