I read somewhere once that it was black folks who got IG popping and we are over represented on twitter. That said, social media can be a powerful tool.


I think black folks are on it tough talking about inane things in large part because black masses ain't got sh*t popping and its our entertainment, keeps us busy on BS. The people I know who are making great money, got things popping aren't on social media tough at all and the majority of their social media is related to what they are doing.


I think eventually you will see a black owned and run platform that will take a good chunk of black folks off the major social media platforms (6 zeroes hopefully being on of them). I'm actually surprised no black person who has money and into venture capitalism hasn't tried..but now that I think about it, they wouldn't because we need white validation generally.


Anyway, social media served as a powerful tool in George Floyd marches to get people organized and connected. Tariq Nasheed tried creating an social media app called MoorUS. The Indian programmers kept effing it up and I am going to put on my tin foil hat and say I think it wad 100 percent sabotaged for obvious reasons. Anything transformative for black folks you gotta keep it in the family as much as possible. There is all the incentive in the world for non black folks to make sure it isn't successful.
