    How it typically goes:
    Black North: grits, sugar, & butter
    Black South: grits, salt, & butter
    Black Midwest: grits either way
    Black west coast: what are grits?

      Mmmmmmmm, grits.
      I like em with jelly and butter, too. That's a mountain folks thing, I think. Or, take a lil bacon grease and stir it in. Southern folks know that bacon grease is THE seasoning! At least, that's where I learned it. I got a southern daddy and Northern momma, both from humble homes, and grits are a staple in their home and mine. I'm hungry now.

    I’m Black British. A medical doctor. I stayed off Twitter for the longest because of the negative perceptions I had of it (a distraction to getting “this bread”, a very limited viewpoint) and the negative way it was viewed by my profession (we were encouraged to avoid it, and, if we must dabble in it, to tweet in an incredibly sterile fashion. Bye bye black twitter. I’m also reserved in nature so the thought of getting in trouble meant I kept it at a sterile arms length. Not necessarily a good thing. So I’m grateful to you guys for this video because it’s given me an alternate perspective on black twitter, aside from what I gleaned from family and friends, and those more daring colleagues around me.

      This isn't cultural gatekeeping and it's intellectually dishonest of you to even claim that. There are plenty of white people who are capable of being allies, supporting civil rights, or appreciating black culture without literally living in black face.

    I wish here in Brazil we had people doing these informative videos about our black history as well... but unfortunately we were taught to disregard our roots and deify the European colonizers.

    I've been using Twitter since 2009. I'm a 28 year old Millennial and, as I began writing this tweet I realized twitter was almost like a larger chat room. I don't know about y'all but the Tagged chat room used to be lit. And ChatOL was thee site during my tween years (or I think that's how it was spelled lol).
    Twitter brought back that chat room element just as Myspace began to die down.

    This was a very interesting lesson! I’m not on Twitter. I never really saw the point. But I’m in my mid-30’s and I was already married and working on my career when Twitter launched, so I think I just missed it. Anyway, now I understand how Twitter works. 😂

    One thing that must be said is suburban black people have been misappropriating the use of slang for a very long time. Slang comes from the inner cities where children cannot code switch. Hearing code switching black people use slang is extremely cringy and shows how oblivious they are to the privilege of being educated in an academically competent school in a suburban neighborhood.

    • @fdm2155
      @fdm2155 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Um why do you think people in big cities don't/can't code switch? Of course we do. BTW, there are academically competent schools (and parents) in big cities too.

Everything from "IT'S NOT MY JOB TO TEACH YOU!!".. to "IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT THEN YOU'RE IGNORANT!"...Let's just say I stopped asking lol... I turned to TH-cam and social media

      They weren’t wrong...PBS is a taxpayer and donation funded platform for educating people. Twitter users are individuals with their own lives and no mission statement to drive them towards educating people who see them as a research source.
