What is a White Troll?
White trolling or a White Troll is a Caucasian who pretends to be a person of color in the comment sections of social media.
In the comment sections of social media platforms there's a trend of white commenters pretending to be black.
Their comment usually begins with, "I'm black." or "As a black person."
Has a "Black" username like Jamal or Jerome and uses a black person or 'Black identity' in their profile pic.
The culprit is usually A white male, republican, under 40 and uses this tactic in order to reinforce their own social or political views.
Particularly during times of social unrest like a police shooting, or a racially themed protest.
The point of this is for them not to come off as racist and to show other viewers that their viewpoint(s) is not exclusive to whites.
They can usually be exposed by observing them in multiple social media comment sections of similar topics.
As well as having a starkly different username and profile pic on their other social media accounts.
White trolls also have conflicting content uploaded to their social media accounts that are counter to the views of most people of color. #whitetrolling #whitetroll
