Can we make a #DoYouKnowThisAsshole campaign go viral?

Can we enlist hundreds of thousands to pledge to share and promote every video that emerges of anyone with white privilege harassing people of color for behavior that they wouldn't even notice if that person were white? I know this type of exposure is going on now all of the time on social media, but can it be boosted even further by a more organized campaign?

I could definitely see using that as a name for an ongoing project along these lines, but too many people would have to look up the meaning and/or spelling of opprobrium to use that as the hashtag.
