Blacks consume more media than any group

[mamba]

All the while Jung Lee-Hwan is networking with other Asians in real life and using his spare time trying to better himself

I'm not saying you can't relax or use social media occasionally. Certainly other races do but black people are on there attention whoring way too much. 13 pct of the population should not feel like half of twitters population

Exactly. I'm not fundamentally opposed to social media. It can be a positive thing.

But, too many of use it as a means to promote negativity, fan the flames of drama, escape from reality, promote materialism, etc.

Not to mention the impact social media can have on self esteem. The attention whoring is a good sign that the person's self-esteem is not in a good place.

nikkas wonder why our women are skin bleaching, getting ass implants, nose jobs, etc. Back in the day, we'd say it's the rap videos.

nikkas don't watch rap videos anymore. It's all about social media.

Our women and children are consuming enormous amounts of anti-Black media, both social and otherwise.

It is not healthy for the Black psyche.

These chicks can tell you all about Love & Hip Hop, Atlanta Housewives, The ShadeRoom, etc. Smh.

Some nikkas can, too.

Probably because we need an outlet from all these tired racist Americans

But, we turn around and help put money right into their pockets via our media consumption!

This is plain bs. I can't believe most of y'all would believe this nonsense, then again people love to believe the worst of black people. All these white owned sites and all these white people on them, including the coli which supposedly caters to black people, but we're the main users or use it more than everyone else? Get out of here.

Gotta have an outlet

Gotta have an outlet

We have talented Black coders. We need to create our own outlets.

 

[King Jove]

i swear, some of you nikkas on here sound like suspect white supremacist who just come here to constantly shyt on black people and mask it as "concern for black people"

black people using social media is insignificant and has actually helped bring awareness to stories that would never get burn on mainstream news networks, help promote black empowerment, forgotten black history, and connect like minded black people.

Word, we do. Is thecoli black owned?

But they say we're only 13% of the population, though.


On the fuzzy math side of the game

There is not fukking way blacks are 13%

More like 20 to 25 per cent. Imagine being 13% anfmmd having over a trillion dollers spending. Lmao.

If you were to give the average nikka two choices:

1) $1000 Barnes & Noble gift card solely for books

or

2) Instantly get 1000 followers on social media

Most nikkas would probably take the 2nd option.

That's a problem.

Not shocking because social media is the only place we really have a voice.

If an African-American teenager is accessing the Internet right now, he or she is most likely doing so on a smartphone, according to a survey of teens and their use of smartphones and social media apps. Black and Hispanic youth reported more frequent Internet use than white teens, according to a Pew Research Center study released Thursday.

Among black teens, 34 percent said they were going online “almost constantly.” About 32 percent of Hispanic youth said the same, while just 19 percent of white teens accessed the Internet that often. The study also found that 85 percent of African-American teens owned or had access to a smartphone. Among Hispanics and whites, 71 percent owned or had access to a smartphone.

“American teens, especially African-American youth, have embraced smartphones and the 24/7 access to people and information that they offer,” said Amanda Lenhart, an associate research director at Pew and the lead author on the report, “Teens, Social Media & Technology Overview 2015.”

nikkas need to be in the books.
