Do I really need to answer that for you

Everyone code switches. It’s just cringe when it’s like in a weird race based way

Not government controlled

Controlled by elite private interest, twitter included

Uhh government controlled yes. Have you not paid attention to the twitter files? You can frame it however you want but tech companies are heavily influenced and censored by the US Government.

Twitter being the exception because Elon has openly said he is pushing for free speech on the platform and exposed a lot of the behind the scenes censorship by government agencies. And that stuff was happening across all platforms and still is.

Just look at the covid & Jan 6 response.

@americana hasnt even seen the Twitter files smh

Over exposure to black culture through the internet

pretty sure you’re trolling but I may be coming across as incorrect to people who are uninformed :)

as black people we just gotta decide as a family to just talk "white" for a whole year and see how the white folks respond to it.

BRing back "gee wilikers" and "heebie jeebies" in the raps

show him the Twitter files

💋

None of these conversations even matter anymore, all of our energy would be better directed at how to prepare for and wield the AI that will soon control our lives

That’s none of your beeswax!

lol i was never on that but yeah i def knew some albanians at the park that would say it and it slid

this was the early 00s though (im getting old) so im sure times have changed since then

All of this is pointless in comparison to our inevitable AI controlled future

I mean as a society we code switch but in basic social and business terms. And that’s where the line is drawn further for me than you. But when you have kids like that and frat boys who listen to rap to try and feel like they understand the culture…they’re doing it strictly for race reasons

Cause no one ever checks them for it

You're just saying the same information that pretty much everyone in this thread is well aware of at this point. Yes, we all know Tiktok is a thinly veiled spyware app that steals your information. It's designed to be addictive as possible and is obviously harmful for really everyone who uses it.

If everyone was aware of it we wouldn’t be having this discussion, because everyone would know the answer

Well you bring up a good point, the real critique is that if you're really engulfed in a culture and adapted to it or raised that way, there's really not an issue (well at least in my opinion). However when it comes to people who aren't a product of a specific culture talking and emulating that culture, it's pretty weird.

A big part of this comes from the lack of identity that most people in general have. With such a disposable culture of intense individualism these days people with developing minds can't find their real interests or hobbies that ultimately shape them as real individuals.

Digital identity paradox. It's a real thing.

Most people who use Tiktok actively don't give a s*** about their privacy in the first place.

Well I have all these opinions/knowledge and I still scroll mindless on TikTok so idk about that. And kids aren’t able to even grasp any of that.

Who do I gotta talk to to bring back the Kanye section the EU and advertisers must have the admins spooked

Niggas still say Ebonics?

Bring him back!
