		<description>Trending topics on Twitter are definitely dominated by those that are not white. Scroll through any that are not &quot;Goodnight&quot; and you will see young people that are not white communicating and sharing in under 140 characters.  It&#039;s obvious and positive. Community can definitely be achieved in that space, but most people that are not black/dark-skinned and geeks are not using it as such.</description>

		<description>Ken,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for your comment but unfortunately, the &quot;logic&quot; that people who&lt;br&gt;are Black &quot;exclude&quot; people who already &quot;exclude&quot; them is illogical.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What I&#039;ve found is that some people who are White don&#039;t do anything in their&lt;br&gt;daily lives to make people of other races feel welcome in the workplace, in&lt;br&gt;church, at daycare, in educational situations or conferences.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, when people, who are Brown, join together to discuss this feeling of&lt;br&gt;exclusion or simply talk to each other, some people, who are White then feel&lt;br&gt;offended and accuse Brown people of racism.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This blog post discusses how Brown people use the Internet, social media and&lt;br&gt;Twitter.  It states that although some people &quot;think&quot; Brown people don&#039;t&lt;br&gt;know how to use technology, are not interested in it or are &quot;misusing&lt;br&gt;technology&quot;, the fact is Brown folks are out there on Twitter, using mobile&lt;br&gt;devices and discussing their lives just like everyone else does.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What disturbed me is people (Who based on the post I cite appear to be&lt;br&gt;mostly White), seek to be voyers of these discussions between Brown people.&lt;br&gt;No one likes a Peeping Tom.</description>

		<description>The time will soon come when groups formed solely with the idea that only blacks are to be permitted will be considered racist. One should read this post and consider the racism towards whites and other races that it unintentionally exudes.</description>

		<description>All I have to say is the twitter graphic with the afro and pick is PRICELESS!  Brilliance at its finest.  I am a follower.  I had to click follow.  I couldn&#039;t resist.</description>

		<description>Hey this article is so on point! You wouldnt believe me as a Deaf CEO of a startup - the amount of trying to teach them right I do and the amount of information I get from my peers of all color.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Recently someone was upset about Mike Vick getting the courage award he was nominated - and he was going off the deep end about it and it was so unlike him - bec I have been watching and following his blog for a while. I didn&#039;t get into a racist mark but I have to say hold up that isnt you. But I said I disagree with the way you are being upset (he was being demeaning) but there are better ways to show being upset.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Another twitter whom I come to respect - because he and I disagree when it comes to our current President. But he went way out of line but we resolved it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The point is twitter have shown me there is a better way to resolve conflict with peers and strangers as opposed to be racist and ignorant about it!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Great article now if I could only get a t shirt with the tweeter bird w/a &#039;fro!</description>

		<description>Oops, never mind, you already linked that article at The Awl. My point being, despite his douche-y tone, Choire Sicha asks a good question about how the trending topics reveal what&#039;s happening outside Twitter users&#039; personal silos. There is an element of voyeurism to it, but it can apply to any topic that&#039;s outside your own sphere and it&#039;s not like it&#039;s forcing any one group to &quot;perform&quot; for another.</description>
