Twitter presents the following Trending Tweet as of April 18, 2011: “Black Twitter”
In case you’re unfamiliar with the logistics of the social media communication site Twitter, a Twitter home page consists of a few things, one of which is ‘Trends’. Trends is a list of the 10 most popular phrases or topics tweeted about on the entire Twittosphere at that moment in time.
On Monday, April 18, 2011, the following was listed at nearly the top of the Trends list: ‘Black Twitter’. As in, if the social media site had a version for black people.
We here at the Museum have taken the time to archive some of the better tweets that came out of this meme / Trending topic. Enjoy the following…

Okay, that it might, that’s fair. Moving on.

Hmmm… colorful and comical, we suppose… not offensive to any race or gender or anything…

Wait a sec, we thought that Black Twitter would be called Twidda. Now it’s being called Twizzle? Which will it be called? Which name will be used? (Which seat will I choooose?)

Some people like the user above took to the twittosphere to tweet about how the trending topic seemed rather unethical. This user not only got to share his opinion openly, but also got to hashtag some 2010-era rhetoric at the end via #justsaying.

Welp, that’s a statement. Or maybe this is one of those things that’s accepted and okay amongst Black communities to say. The Museum curator staff apologizes for not being black enough to be sure.

Lolz. Does that even make sense? Is Black Twitter really gonna be at the club? This user clearly sees Black Twitter as not a social media communication site. We think there’s some confusion going on here.
(FYI, for all non-Twitter users, Twitter is not something that has the capacity to steal your girl or your guy or anyone at a club, or anywhere for that matter. It is not a living person, just to clear things up. Maybe more people are confused about this than we think, who knows.)

Gotta love a little #UrbanHonesty. (The Museum definitely plans on utilizing this hashtag via its Twitter account at twitter.com/ArtofMod in the near future)

Well #UrbanHonesty aside, it seems that some people like Francine Frensky here are clearly upset.
Okay everyone stop, wait a second, if you also just read Francine Frensky and thought “That name sounds familiar,” it’s definitely because that is the name of the tomboy-ish girl from the kids book series/tv show Arthur. Yes, she’s the one that resembles a monkey.
Yeah, dis girl: 
Moving along, and fast…

Good to know some people enjoyed it in all it’s humor and wit.

Oooh, shit gets political. But that’s pretty fair… Way to be raw, GrumpyComments.
And finally:

Hope you all enjoyed what we did here.
