This week, BuzzFeed created quite a disturbance within the Black ‘Twittersphere’ and Black communities in general following the release of a new video titled “27 Questions Black People Have for Black People.”
Questions ranging from a cringe-worthy “If my dab is on fleek, am I lit?” to a more inflammatory “Why is growing up without a father so common in our race?” set off a firestorm of understandable backlash against the media company and the Black individuals who sat down to ask the questions themselves.
Naturally, an interesting conversation and its assigned hashtag spawned forward, generating some of the most hilariously unfiltered responses to this controversial video. Check them out below:
