What does "blackfishing" mean?
BlackFishing is when someone who is not of Black culture, tries to tan themselves, paint themselves, take melanin pills or injections or basically finds any resource to bring a black skin tone upon themselves. This is something that’s majority of the time, done by European Woman and Man who are insecure about themselves, or sees the beauty of Black people and wants it. But doesn’t admit the beauty Black people have and tries to manipulate Black culture into thinking their ugly like society has done to Black people years ago. They also culture appropriate mimicking everything that is apart of Black culture even the hairstyles and textures. And by the way before you say it, some Black people do have naturally straight hair and hair that is naturally blonde,red, ginger whatever you may call it. Therefore wearing weaves and etc is not culture appropriating White culture. Also knowing how Black woman are shamed for our natural hair, even a law had to get passed in California that discrimination upon Black woman’s hair is no longer going to be tolerated. It shows why some happen to wear weaves, but other reasons include protective styles that are meant to protect Black woman hair. Not White man, Latina woman and etc hair. That is only breaking your hair, Everyone wants to be within Black culture but not deal with the real issues upon being Black. Also guys, wearing durags. Which was meant for Black kinky texture hair.
Did you see Emma’s picture in 2017, she was naturally pale. How did she end up a few shades darker than Beyoncé’s complexion for years? A natural tan does not turn you that dark. Hmm sounds like someone is obsessed with Black culture even her features and hair texture that’s brand new. She is totally BlackFishing! You know when White woman try to gain melanin and other Black features to appear Black when they are not.

Blackfishing - meaning
Orca / killer whale orignating from Native American culture / Northwest Coast tribes and often found carved on totem poles.
Name taken from Tlingit legend of "Natsilane" a sea lion hunter betrayed by his brothers-in-law but saved by a Chief of the sea lions he had been hunting. In response to them saving him, Natsilane carved a great black fish from cedar wood and when launched it came to life and swam out to sea.
He called the blackfish to find his brothers-in-law when they returned from their hunting, destroy them and their boat but spare the youngest boy. The blackfish set out and found them, capsized the boat and drowned the brothers by keeping them from shore. The youngest made it back safely along with his story of the great blackfish and his brothers’ treachery.
Natsilane instructed it never again to harm humans but instead, to help them and legend states following this, a large strange blackfish with teeth was seen near the shore and at times would leave a freshly killed seal or halibut for the villagers. The villagers agreed to show mutual respect by never hunting nor harming the blackfish and taking it for their crest.
Tribes with Orca / Blackfish clans include the Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Kwakiutl. It is still highly revered and considered a spiritual, powerful animal which must be respected and protected.
The name was given to the movie documentary based on its name and the legend / cautionary tale against hunting or harming.

Blackfishing
Commonly perpetrated by females of European descent (white) which involves artificial tanning (spray tanning and tanning booths) and using makeup to manipulate facial features in order to appear to have some type of Black African ancestry.
The general point of blackfishing is for a female of European descent to appear of African, Arab, or Hispanic ancestry.
Some consider it to be equivalent to modern day “black face” because it capitalizes off the looks of historically oppressed groups of people by people who come from more privileged backgrounds.

“No, Emma isn’t mixed race, she’s just blackfishing.”
“They want to be black without being black.”
