As A Black Man

Oft-seen preface - the specific demographic used can vary, but "black" is the most frequent and iconic form - to statements disparaging minorities or defending discriminatory actions and policies posted on internet forums, social media and other communication systems that allow for high levels of anonymity and identity spoofing. Also the catch-all term used to refer to this practice. A very strong indicator - not 100%, but with a high level of confidence nevertheless - that the person making said statement is not black or a member of whatever minority community the preface may be modified to apply to, but merely using the guise of being such a member to avoid criticism. Scrutiny of accounts that use this sort of statement often reveals them to be sockpuppet accounts primarily used to promote anti-minority ideologies or unearths conflicting statements showing the account user to be lying about their identity as a part of promoting aforementioned anti-minority ideology. Occasionally outs these individuals due to use of the statement on their "normal" accounts due to forgetting to switch to their sockpuppet before posting, as in the case of Dean Browning, a white Republican political activist in Pennsylvania.
