Reading the comments on CNN and running into gems like this:

I have mixed feelings. The disaster was a big deal for my generation, but...

Hyperbole And A Half foresaw this challenge and has forewarned me of the consequences.

True...I dislike the people trying to crap on the idea of "Black Twitter" as if it is nothing more than "Tales from the Hood" b/c I wound up reading b/c of #solidarityisforwhite women and #blackpowerisforblackmen and it led me to some really great bloggers whose Tweets and writing is very relevant to me.

That list left out #fasttailedgirls which was one of the most profound and important episodes that happened on Black Twitter.

I fear you are correct and I have no interest in seeing him pretend to be a rapper, racer, or a rapping racer.

Completely disagree. Sure there's some degree of "clowning" and hilarity when Black Twitter goes in on people for the dumb things they say and do, however as you stated there is also solidarity movements and moments of camaraderie, so that's obviously not all that it is. There are just as many people outside of Black…

There is a wikipedia page and corresponding|think| pieces. People are very fascinated with the habits of black people it seems. Even if no one cares about actual black people.

Black twitter is EVERYTHING. But it didn't just pop up in 2013. But mainstream news outlets/blogs run by white people love to report about some new thing that's not actually new at all but White people just didn't know about it.

At which time Black Twitter will create a #blacktwitterthinkpieces hash tag and proceed to create sharply funny and sardonic tweets skewering such

Oh God, we've been found out. It's only a matter of time until overwrought think pieces start popping up about how black people tweet like this, and white people tweet like that, and breathlessly asking, what does this Black Twitter really mean!?

I known a few Black women who have passed away from breast cancer, some who were young. I had a black female professer that researched breast cancer. I think more Black people need to be involved in research. In addition, I'm glad that they mentioned the history of experimenting on Blacks. Even my university's…

I took my late grandmother for radiation every day for six weeks during her battle with breast cancer. I noticed right away that there was one black patient — one out of at least 30 women — there to receive treatment (usually the same woman, that's how it works, you go daily for however long your treatment plan…

Well if you liked this one...

that's the thing, people don't seem to understand the difference between giving someone praise for their great work, or admiring their beauty (inside and out) - and the whole flawless human perfection goddess on this earth business. it is just kind of overwhelming. she is a wonderful person who deserves praise for the…

I agree with this completely. I actually know Lupita. I'm not joking, I've known her for awhile. we went to school together and she is lovely, smart and talented. but she's also a human being! prone to the same things we are all prone to. this is a great interview because she shows humility - for example her bad skin…

Lupita darling, you are soooooooooooooooooo divine!

I went to college with Lupita. She was a couple of years ahead of me, but we shared a couple of seminars. LET ME JUST SAY (!!!) that she is brilliant and (even) more of a feminist/super leftist than she shows in the limelight. Seriously, Jezzies: be a fan.

But she's so pretty.

I hate negative comments so I apologize for this. I just think it's bad form to talk about falling in love with a celebrity and especially saying they are perfect. I think it sets up unfair expectations and potential backlash for them. I have so much respect for her and I want things to continue to go well for her.…
