Is it safe to say that #BlackTwitter is the most original, funniest, and all-around best Twitter? I have proof: the hot new hashtag #SoWhiteOutside, which turns the occasion of this week’s blizzard into a chance to engage in some real talk about the most uncomfortable and disturbing aspects of Caucasian culture, i.e., Macklemore.
Even some white folks get in on the fun. Let’s get it all out in the open, shall we?

Um, you know there’s nothing whiter than acting like a social media riff is the equivalent of centuries of institutionalized and de facto oppression, right? Just checking.
