The Truth About Black Twitter

How Black People Use Twitter

Is Twitter the underground railroad of activism?

Feminista Jones calls it the underground railroad of activism(?!) and a lot of opinion people seem to take it extremely serious but I don't think its ever freed anybody from slavery or really done anything at all. Is it just a meme-machine for black people or what?

e:I don't use twitter cause its poo poo

Hidden away in the marshes of St. Augustine, Florida is one of the most important sites in American history: the first free community of ex-slaves, founded in 1738 and called Gracia Real de Santa Teresa de Mose or Fort Mose (pronounced Moh-Say).

Makes ya think huh?

That's nice I hope they liked it there but objectively speaking it wasn't historically important in any sense of the word.

Also I believe in equality. I think black tweets are on the same level of importance as all other tweets.

Not even a tiny bit important.

I thought it was goon law that black twitter was all white people pretending. Because they couldn't imagine that black people would:
A. Use twitter
B. Type in anything but Standard King's English while on the Internet.

This owns, but what also owns is when @fart Hendren used the "arab spring" hashtags to Goatse millions of people. The single largest goatseing in history.
