Black Twitter...What is it?

In this weeks content we learned about black twitter and how it can affect the media is a positive and negative way. The media gets a lot of things wrong because they sometimes they dont understand what is actually going on and just amuse some things and give out false information to others. It is sometimes sad that they actually pull the information from Black Twitter instead of just going on and doing their own interviews, which would make a lot more sense.

Madison Avenue also appears to be paying close attention to the memes and hashtags generated by the culture; with Taco Bell and IHOP “on fleek” and Jimmy Johns calling customers “bae.” Black slang being used to sell crap isn’t anything new, but in the digital space, why aren’t these brands effectively recruiting those who have the strongest grasp on the demographics they’re marketing to?
