Black folk infiltrated a 'White and Proud' Facebook page. Hilarity ensued.
"Now that this page has gone Black, it can't go back!"
Thousands of Black folk infiltrated a “White and Proud” group on Facebook and turned it into a massive digital family reunion.
The group, created in 2023, surfaced on the timelines of Black Facebook users across the country, who quickly realized it was open to anyone.
The takeover was made possible due to a purported oversight by the group’s administrator. Users can set privacy settings for Facebook groups; something the administrator didn’t do. The “White and Proud” group is still public and visible to all users.
Although the moderators of the group have since limited who can comment within the group, thousands of Black Facebookers have made their voices heard with hilarious responses to racist posts, with one user writing, “first time colonizing, kinda nervous,” and another stating, “now that this page has gone Black, it can’t go back.”
The group initially had about 15,000 users before the takeover and billed itself as “white people enjoying conversation with other white people and enjoying accomplishments of our ancestors.”
Even though the Facebook group is now restricted, it is still growing rapidly. The group averaged more than 90 posts a day before a moderator limited comments.
The takeover appears to have begun with a post from a “Glenn Mallais” — most, if not all, of the accounts making the racist posts are likely posting under pseudonyms and are trolling.
