    Is it a fair accusation?​

    The ugly step sister of white washing rears its ugly head in the entertainment world in the form of blackfishing. In recent months, a number of high profile stars have received criticism for racial ambiguity and presenting themselves as black through darker skin tone, sporting black hairstyles and cultural appropriation. Find out which stars alongside the Kardashian clan have been accused of blackfishing...

    I've noticed this decades ago with white celebrities who want to seem "kool" or "hip". They can only get the popularity by attaching themselves to someone black, for example, most white rappers affiliate and look for the co-sign of black rappers to get the official stamp from the streets,if you remember Vanilla Ice, he didn't do that and he fell off fast. Most white celebs that try to operate in spaces that Black people dominate always try to get the Black hang-a-rounds to make them look more official.
