Why Is Twitter More Popular With Black People Than White People?

Tracking devices!!!

Now who didn't see this coming?

Not me, I am just shocked he didn't mention Fubu, too.

twitter is more or less a time waster, though a damn good one. is this just a back-handed way of calling people of color lazy? ha. i'm kidding. we need to focus on the real issue here. where are the the bluetooth stats? 98% of the folks wearing one of those things KNOWS it looks stupid and PRETENDS that it's cool. 43% percent of those people are just talking to themselves…

congratulations racist shitbags, you can't even talk about this without resorting to utterly infantile commentary.

very generally, and i don't think i'm saying anything profound or new here, black people seem to have an affinity or take on words and language that white people either don't have or just don't access as much. take popular culture, where black people (again, making huge generalizations) seem to more often be making up new words, for instance, “bling” or the whole “fo' shizzle” stuff that Snoop does (I know that's probably not how you spell fo shizzle). how often do we see white people doing that? a recent pop culture example of white people trying to do that is the movie “i love you, man” with paul rudd. i thought he perfectly captured attempts by white people, like myself, to keep up with all these new words that are always popping up. he never gets it though, as he continually makes up words that make utterly no sense and fail to capture the moment he is trying to memorialize.

obviously black people and white people and all people love words and love to use them in new ways, make up new words, twist them around and turn them upside down to create new understandings and definitions. again, very generally, at least in pop culture, there seems to be more black people actually engaging with words in this manner. i'll leave it at that. ultimately, i don't think this subject can be discussed without an understanding of the role that racism plays. different people may look at the same words differently, and racism probably has something to do with that. black people may have a different take on words on language simply as a means of warding off white racism. again, and i'm emphasizing this again, and again, i just made a whole bunch of generalizations. please keep that in mind when responding to the huge generalizations i made. thank you.

as far as I can tell when I’m walking down the street cell phones are the new slavery. 90% of blacks appear to be completely enslaved by their mobile phone

This is “politically incorrect” and I should mention I’m definitely not racist and have tons of black friends but as a whole there are a few reasons black people tweet more than other groups.

1 – Black people love talking – about themselves and with other black people. Black people stick together/relate more as a group than any other group. Not only do they relate/stick together more they talk and don’t care what any one else thinks. They speak more freely than say, white people do as a whole.

2 – This is a biggie… Twitter keeps your posts to 140 characters. Very “unpolitically correct” but black people as whole are less educated and don’t want to write entire blog posts or emails to each other. 140 words is easy and convenient and gets their point across easily.

3 – Agreed with the black celebrities using twitter much more than white celebrities. This goes hand in hand with #1 and #2 above.

Call me racist, I don’t care, I say what’s real. If you think I’m incorrect would love to hear your thoughts but don’t call me a racist – just tell me why I’m wrong — but really double read what I wrote before you look silly.

I love black people BTW – grew up in inner city Los Angeles and half my great friends were black kids. So feel like I have insite most white people won’t get.

You seriously can’t answer this without sounding racist.
