When I first read this article it jumped out at me, I mean like literally. I never knew about black Twitter or any of those things. Until just recently I realized that it is another hashtag for the modern day race issues. I am not going to lie I did like this article because it is trying to break some stereotypes that most people have about black women/females. This was a great way to fight off stereotypes. The first tweet says that not all black or any other race does not all look a like. Which is true for us too because we have different skin colors and different hair textures. Still, I kind of never really hear people say that well at least not from where I am from.
The tweet that was really relevant to my life was the one about speaking proper english. A lot of African American people see it as talking "white" which makes no sense. Most of my childhood people thought I came from the suburbs. Most of them were shocked when they found out I was from the city just like them. I know that it is great idea that we are getting rid of that talking about the normal stereotypes.Still as women we need to pull us all together and even if that means not only talking about our own social issues.We need to defend all women while we are defending our own ethnic group.
