Is this insensitive, or true about how Social Media reacts to Tragedy?

People love to spit fake outrage and fake sympathy on the internet. More so if the faces are of a 'certain' complexion.

Internet activism is all the rage.
Bombing? Facebook puts out profile filters so you can express your solidarity in such a passive, detached way. Facebook just monitors your behavior so that it can tailor ads.
Trump/Cruz/Rubio/Clinton/Sanders said something? Take it out of context, throw some stats that are unrelated on a picture, make a meme. Post it and watch people share, like, and comment on it. Internet activism appeals to their emotions and they'll react without verifying shyt. The Internet makes it so easy to put information out there, and people won't question what they take in.
Bruh, the day of the Paris attacks, I immediately posted that it was all BS with the French flags going up on profile pictures. I said something about Mali, Cameroon, Nigeria, and the Philippines are attacked every week by extremists who are targeting public buses and elementary schools--even shooting children--and Facebook has no flag for them. Are they ignored because MSM doesn't care about the Third World? Or is it because Facebook's ad studies show that it's not 'cool' to change a profile picture to an African or Asian flag? The Paris attacks get a fukking hashtag, while Black and Brown kids are never heard of, dying for the same reasons and at the hands of the same people.
They continue to condition us that White is all that matters.
fukk that social media fad shyt. I use it to spread truth, even if it means battling people who I thought were friends.

Celebrate terrorist attacks brehs.
Didn't say it was a good day. 75% accuracy is still wreckless.
But the US goverment has a 2% accuracy rate with drones... and thats rounding up.
(as of late September 2010: 32 Al-Qaeda militants had been killed by US drone strikes in comparison to 1,778 civilians) 1.76% accuracy
So as a neutral party that neither side is attempting to kill, I'd rather be caught near a terrorist attack than an operation by my own government. I'm more likely to survive a terrorist attack because at least they care who they hit and they mostly hit who they are aiming for... and they are not aiming for me. So...
