Lets talk about Black Twitter...
When I initially read the title Black Twitter I thought of a black market style of Twitter where underground conversations had to be happening. I even thought that maybe things were sold or traded using Black Twitter as a platform for those transactions. After reading through a variety of articles posted to various websites and watching videos that highlighted the same information I quickly realized that Black Twitter is a major part of the current sociopolitical conversations. All joking aside I was relieved and somewhat troubled by the existence of Black Twitter. Relieved because very important conversations such as #BlackLivesMatter are happening in the public eye yet troubled because as a society we are still forced to have these conversations about racial equality. Black Twitter is not a website you can type into your search engine but a collaboration of minds in regards to the black community. Black Twitter, in my opinion, is currently one of the most vital conversations being ha on the Internet; a conversation everyone should support and want to be apart of.

The video discusses the impact of social media on political elections around the world. The video does not bash social media platforms, rather explains how the impacts of social media can alter the outcome of elections because of the open dialogue that is available.

This is a photo taken at the Women’s March held in Washington D.C. What is most interesting to me is that much of this march was advertised and organized on social media alone! The pink hats became a symbol as well as a social media sensation.

In this new culture war, the battle isn't just over homosexuality, abortion, rap lyrics, drugs or how to greet people at Christmastime. It's expanded to anything and everything: video games, clothing ads, even remaking a mediocre comedy from the 1980s.

I love NPR! I always find their articles and interviews to be so interesting. This article does not fall short of that. Gene Demby offers a great perspective on why white people tend to fall silent when the topic of race is brought up.
