One of the unknown little snowflakes of the Christian Conservative movement twitters: The current trending topics make me sad for America.. Her twitter friend, a genius that goes by Sum_Dum_Guy (and in the process gives all homeschoolers a bad name) agrees that BET and/or black music related topics trending on Twitter somehow are the thing of massive doses of anti-depressants.

It's why they are both featured in OMG! BLACK PEOPLE!, a Tumblr page dedicated to collecting all the "OMG! theres black people on twitter" comments that seem to have arisen out of the intense twittering of people watching the BET Awards. And let me stress the "raceless" use of the word people, because obviously it wasn't just black folks watching and ranting last night.

I mean, really ... #BET09 and black related topics trending are reasons to get their panties in a bunch or be sad about the state of the United States?

Am often amazed how "non-colored" people express surprise at the level of racist bilge published online by people on their side of the melanin spectrum. A lot of these people have come to misconstrue the excitement about social media being the great PR and marketing equalizer onine with it being some kind of pixie dust that would erase social, gender and racial divides.

Well, this is an excellent opportunity to break twitter by making black, brown and people-of-color-centric topics trend all wee. Just to mess with people's mind, we should just keep on posting with the #BET09 tag along with a new #blackout tag. I think it would be fun.

What do you think?
