Why The 'Race Card' Is Played

  Why are some whites so obsessed African American culture? #culturetax We Black Americans have a fairly interesting culture. We’re seen by the world as funny, edgy, rebellious, free, tormented, and kind of rough. Black American culture is entertaining, we influence music, fashion, and so many different trends. Our slang, dance, music, style, etc. is adopted by so many. I feel like our culture can appeal to people for various reasons. People who want to break free from the chains of society. People who see us as perpetual entertainers. People who wish to feel like martyrs. We’re fresh and always have our finger on the pulse. That especially appeals to young folks, and that’s why so many of us in the entertainment industry have watered down our messages to feed our images to the masses for consumption but they don’t know they’re getting a bastardized version of our culture. https://www.quora.com/Why-are-some-no... https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com

Black Twitter is a cultural identity consisting of Black Twitter users from around the world on the Twitter social network focused on issues of interest to the black community, particularly in the United States. Feminista Jones described it in Salon as "a collective of active, primarily African-American Twitter users who have created a virtual community ... [and are] proving adept at bringing about a wide range of sociopolitical changes." A similar Black Twitter community grew in South Africa in the early 2010s. Although Black Twitter has a strong Black American user base, other people and groups are able to be a part of this social media circle through commonalities in shared experiences and reactions to such online. https://www.whytheracecardisplayed.com/post/black-twitter
