Professor Meredith Clark, Black Twitterology and Mainstream Defaults

Professor Meredith Clark argues that Black Twitter is the "most poppin' space on the internet" and drives mainstream conversations. The hosts discuss the existence of other segregated "Twitters" (Latino, German, French) and how the Black version acts as a specialized journalism engine. Mo Fax contends that Black YouTube actually provides a more balanced and impactful cross-section of Black thought than the manipulated environment of Twitter.

Eva Longoria, Twitter Apology and Gender Divide

The hosts read Eva Longoria's Twitter apology, where she clarified that her comments were meant to compare Latina women to Latino men, not black women. They mock her use of inclusive terms like "Afro-Latina" and "AAPI" as a way to "cop a plea" with the sisterhood. The hosts highlight how Longoria effectively threw Latino men "under the bus" to appease her critics.
