A list entitled “15 Things Black Girls Do on Facebook” has gone viral and there are certainly some things on the list that can be considered valid.
I wrote a post a while back putting one of my Facebook friends on blast and while I’m not doing that THIS time, there are definitely some people in my FB newsfeed that fit the description of a BGF.
That’s “Black Girl Facebooker”for those who don’t know. BTW – I just made that up. 
Read the list below and share your views on the subject:
15 Things Black Girls Do on Facebook…
1. Invent middle names that declare their mantra of the moment such as Keisha blessedandbeautiful Johnson or T’Andrea OhSoClassssssy Washington.
2. Complain about their enemies without actually naming the person, knowing that the offender will read the status:
“It’s sad how some people are SO PETTY and can’t mind their OWN BUSINESS. I’m gonna pra……y for them because they need Jesus.”
3. Transform into social media ministers by posting bible verses or just making up inspirational quotes.
“Men are like a box of Goobers. They seem sweet at first but they’re really just a bunch of nuts.”
4. Use their Facebook status updates to yell at the stars of Real Housewives of Atlanta, Basketball Wives and Love & Hip Hop. (You do know Phaedra and Sheree can’t “hear” you, right?)
5. Post pictures of their Big Chop and other photos to document their “natural hair journey.”
(White girls, if you’re confused go to google or ask your black girlfriends what “Big Chop” means.)
6. Show off their new hairstyle, they take a picture in front of the bathroom mirror, with the door frame and toilet in the shot.

7. Stalk ex boyfriends. This is commonly called “watching your back.”
8. Stalk current boyfriends. This is commonly called “research.”
9. Declare there are no good men left anywhere on the planet Earth.
10. Pretend to be in relationships with celebrities.
“Did you see my husband Kobe out there?” “About to watch my boo Idris in this new movie…”
or my personal favorite… “Listening to my baby daddy Big Boi’s new song.”
11. Ask for help with such life-changing decisions as “Should I cook Oodles of Noodles or Hamburger Helper for dinner?”
12. Make statements like “I’m SO pissed right now!” to get sympathy in comments, but when people ask what’s wrong they refuse to explain.
13. Provide play-by-play for every menial task on their to-do list:
“Today I have to go to the bank, then go do this laundry, and pick up some bobby pins from Walgreens…”
14. Announce they need a “new start” and therefore will be deleting dozens of Facebook friends.
15. Complain that they don’t understand “that Twitter thing” and will never EVER use it.
What Other Things Do “Black chicks” Do On Facebook?
And to be fair… CLICK HERE to read 15 Thing White Girls Do On Facebook.
FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GUILTY!! LOL
Umm hell yes, I know all of these girls!! *SMH as I look in the mirror*– definitely talk about people reading my timeline, but I won’t say their names! hahaha- that was good!
Yes, I AGREE with this Statement. BLACK FEMALES do things TOTALLY different than WHITE FEMALES. I’m just saying.
SOOOO TRUE LMAO
Yes indeed this is so true!!!
SAD AND TRUE! LMBO!
Lol I wouldn’t say it’s a black girl thing I see every ethnicity doing at least one of these! I say it’s maybe a girl thing but then again I’ve seen some b*tch made dudes too lol
omg, this sooooo true! smh
True Fact!
LOL! The natural hair journey got me good.
This is to funny !!!!
What about changing your relationship status; every other day!!!
-Monday u r single
-Tuesday its complicated
-Wednesday u r married
-Thursday u r engaged
-Friday u r in a relationship
Ha, that’s too funny
I would maybe extrapolate this accurate list to most females in general, but most of the points are dead on point.
Guilty of #3, however that coincides with my daily speech. Hallelujah, God is Good!
I am proud to say I have not done any of these. Yet. Lol
All my friends do this shit, regardless of race.
Sooo true that’s why I am not on it but ghost write for clients and read people I know. Lol
I PLEAD THA 5TH AMENDMENT…ROTFL
In the past, I’ve done so but as of now, nah. I’ll stop myself mid sentence and delete.
nail on the head
Ha. I’m guilty of 2 or 3.
So guilty of #3 but I try to send positivity. And #1 just plain irks my nerves lol. This is funny but true.
White girls do the same. Plenty in my friend lost even the older ones!
All races do them, my hispanic and white homegirls who think they black do it too.. Yes i’ve seen all these done on fb…smh….and @achik4u,you nailed that 1 too. relationship status changes everyday for attn.
So why does this post have a negative connotation? It’s seem that most post that have to do with black/african individuals tend to be negative or demeaning.
If you think this post isn’t negative, let’s highlight some of the words used:
Complain, stalk, show off, menial and etc.
I’m just annoyed as an African woman to constantly see, hear, and read that what you do is bizarre or wrong. Also, please note: we are all NOT the same so please if you can use some of your knowledge constructively and refrain from grouping us all into the box, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
^^^^ Sabrina stop being so angry.
This was funny.
Post fake pic’s
Well damn, I’m guilty and I thought all FB females do the same thing. Where’s the list for white girls? What do they do differently? I’m curious.
Oh nevermind I see the list for white girls.
This was hilarious. I’ve definitely done all these things atleast once. My current profile pic is of my natural hair journey. I saw this as funny and not racists or demeaning.
Sick and mufuggin tired of seeing chicks commit #12. Stfu and get some counseling
Im numbers 5,7 (sadly) and 12…….damn
[...] Fact or fiction? 15 things black girls do on Facebook – Straight from the A [...]
I mean this is not a black girl/white girl thing. All girls do this. Seriously as if we need to continue to down talk our people.
YaYa, I’m so glad that you understood the point of the list. It was not be racist or demeaning just as Mary’s list wasn’t meant to degrade white women. There is no negative connotation. It’s just supposed to be funny. And obviously we know that not ALL black women do these things. In fact if you read the original post I even say that I hardly do any of these things but do most of the things in the white girl list. But so many of my readers have said it was hilarious to read the list and see things they do all the time. Social media can still be fun!
We seem to have forgot the inevitable picture with your group of girlfriends and everyone is doing the point the butt out move
I am often super critical of how we talk about race and assign judgment etc. BUT THIS WAS FUNNY! It didn’t feel negative or demeaning at all. It was just silly. And given that there is a white girl version it is just funny to see the differences and similarities. Every discussion about difference or cultural patterns is not inherently bad! It is ok to laugh at ourselves as long as we are not laughing ourselves to death.
[...] CONTINUE READING ON STRAIGHT FROM THE A [...]
All true. Whats wack though is the comparison to what white girls do as if to say “white girls are better or less prone to doing anything silly online”. Maybe I’m puttin 20′s on it. Just how it seems to me. *shrugs*
I deleted my facebook along time ago due to the fact that all of my close girlfriends were on there being super fake and I couldn’t take it anymore! One of my girlfriends had as a profile pic a picture of her in cap and gown at her high school graduation but claimed she had graduated college (so untrue). Then claimed she was going to medical school (with a GED). Needlesstosay that fake bitch isn’t my friend anymore. I hate lames and phony bitches!
This is funny and true and all these females talking about no i haven’t done that…umm yes you have! We are all guilty of it! And this goes for all races!
Using "SHM". Get over using that.
Oh, How I can relate. I am 99.9% sure I was a black woman in a former life. Women in general do all of these things like crazy. The 15 things white women love to do too. Both lists were a hoot! Thanks for sharing!
Mochababy turns of her cellphone camera and closes the baffroom door..Hands Sabrina Hinton a Zoloft.
LOL. Yes it’s so true and with that…let me tell yall about my new best friends.. Elin Woods (Tiger’s ex) and Vanessa Bryant. We’re about to do it big.
LOL!!!!
It’s NOT me BUT IT SOUNDS TRUE TO ME… those made-up middle names! HILARIOUS! SMH!
I know folks that do each and everyone of those!! Lol! Some even combine a few offenses…
Number 2 is what gets me. How does the person assume that the person stat is even about them. If their name is never mentioned?
Number 14- I never understood that why do they have to annouce that they are deleting folks?
Sidenote: I never know that I’ve been deleted til they request me again as a friend. ( I know right!)
Who needs tv when you have facebook!
This is so very true! Most of the posts are TMI in my opinion. The scripture quotes are a bit much as well; especially when you know the person is iving in direct contradiction to their post. LOL So…today you’re a holy roller, but last night you were… Really???
*kanyeshrug*
wtf white girls do the same even boys this is so effin dude
Very true
Yep, i found it interestingly accurate. I think you could further divide it by age group,which is less racially tagged.
In general, folks tend to re-write their bio with the statuses. unfortunately, it boils down to drama or “hating” which seems to proliferate on FB.
*sigh* it’s suppose to be 15 things girls do on facebook, a few people had this on their page including me…smh someone added black! anywho its true lol not just a black thing though.
No, this is just some racism. Most of the things on this list is done by just about EVERY SINGLE FEMALE… black, white or whatever.
Like someone else said, people need to get off racial bullshit like this. Personally, I don’t think the author was being racist by asking a question like the one in the title. Maybe all they know is a certain kind of black women vs. other ethnicities (female)? Regardless, people need to stop generalizing. ALL kinds of people (that includes men) do this fuckery. This shit is not sex or race required; it’s just immature shit. And let’s face it… everyone on Earth is capable of being immature.
Fiction. This is the stuff everyone does on facebook, not just black women and not even just women. I have maybe ten obscure black female friends, yet this is all over my facebook. Btw that big chop one was a cheap shot as only black women have big chops, for anyone else it’s called a HAIRCUT and I’m thuroughly up to date on all of my "friends" haircuts.
Glad to hear! like your website and your style of writing! Perhaps you will show me some tips.
Lmfao
Oooooo tooo funny! …..and accurate…
This is so true lmao
looool so true :))
too funny..now they have to add the Hispanic & Asian girls.lol
I’m guilty of at least one!! lol
(#9 and maybe #3) But aren’t we all?! lol….smh
HI-LA-RI-OUS!!!
@Sabrina Hinton….I Totally agree with you. But you must take into consideration that the author of this blog site is ghetto herself. Its clear by how and what she blog about.
This describe half of my friends fo real tho!!! Half of them are not black.
I wouldn’t say just black girls to this I think everyone on facebook does this
