Blacks on Twitter: Are We Really Still Talking About This?

Twitter

From The Root: Apparently black folks are terribly interesting.

I mean, everything we do is fascinating. The way we vote. The way we dance. The way we apparently don't say "muthaf---er" when we're asking for a glass of iced tea. We're just so fascinating. So when black Americans started using the social media service Twitter, a slew of articles came down the pike. Everyone was just so intrigued by #BlackTwitter's magic and its members' tweets and interactions with one another. Articles on the subject took on the feel of an anthropological study of an alien species:

"She's a Christian, but isn't afraid of sex. She seems to have some problems trusting men, but she's not afraid of them, either. She's very proud of her fiscal responsibility. She looks lovely in her faux modeling shots, although I am surprised how much her style aligns with what I consider mall fashion when she's a grown woman in her twenties. Her home is Detroit and she's finding the process of buying a new car totally frustrating. She spends an embarrassing amount of time tweeting responses to the Kardashian family."
--"Why I Stalk a Sexy Black Woman on Twitter," Gizmodo

That's a real article.
