@ProfD When I was a kid whenever two more black women got together, they were usually gossiping about someone. Sometimes it might get a little mean spirited, but usually it’s just folks judging others for entertainment.
On some level, I think this is part of human nature. Gossip magazines took this to another level. Celebrities Who the average person might know allowed even larger groups of people to stand around the water cooler and gossip about the likes of Puff Daddy and TD Jakes as if they actually know them
Social media has put all of this on steroids now any knucklehead’s two cents, If it feeds the algorithm correctly, can now be heard by100s of thousands or even millions of people.
that same dopamine hit you get by being the first to reveal a juicy piece of gossip to your girlfriends just become so much greater when a few hundred thousand people “like” your comment. So now people are chasing likes, bringing out the worst of us.
@Pioneer1 they now have video of Puff Daddy Kickin that “foine” young lady’s butt. So now every man can call puffy a “bit@h as$-ni88er” and prove to the Metaverse how righteous they are.
Our culture is off code, our people are just rejecting this.
