Ahhhh… Black Twitter. There’s something almost magical about it. There are high school students and Blackademics dripping with advanced degrees, the most radical of radicals and @GOPBlackChick, conversations about the prison industrial complex, Hov’s latest track, transnationalism, twerking, education reform, dating norms… all interacting, intersecting, swirling around at once. There is always something new. And, as any experienced member of this particular hive mind knows, there is always something old. There are certain conversations that come up again and again, conversations that have no chill – for example, the ongoing Black Twitter discussion about the appropriate usage of the words “females” and “women.”
