Fact or Fiction? 15 Things Black Girls Do On Facebook…

Dec, 15 2011 | Written by ATLien
Do Black females and White females use FaceBook differently? Well the net certainly seems to think so!

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.

- Sabrina Hinton
  
  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,
- Casey
  
  ^^^^ Sabrina stop being so angry.
  
  This was funny.
- Frederick Anderson via Facebook
  
  Post fake pic’s
- Simon Says
  
  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.
- Simon Says
  
  Oh nevermind I see the list for white girls.
- YaYa
  
  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.
- Mula
  
  Sick and mufuggin tired of seeing chicks commit #12. Stfu and get some counseling

  Im numbers 5,7 (sadly) and 12…….damn
- Boog
  
  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.
- javacia
  
  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!
- Festive1
  
  We seem to have forgot the inevitable picture with your group of girlfriends and everyone is doing the point the butt out move 🙂
- Sonya Renee Poet
  
  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.
- Majid
  
  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*
- Tiara
  
  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!
- phenabena
  
  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!
- Question
  
  Using "SHM". Get over using that.
- Technically Insane
  
  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
  
  Mochababy turns of her cellphone camera and closes the baffroom door..Hands Sabrina Hinton a Zoloft.
- Dr. Reginia
  
  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.
- Tera Isohsolovinlife Gadson via Facebook
  
  LOL!!!!
- Danika Dash via Facebook
  
  It’s NOT me BUT IT SOUNDS TRUE TO ME… those made-up middle names! HILARIOUS! SMH!
- Tammy Griffin via Facebook
  
  I know folks that do each and everyone of those!! Lol! Some even combine a few offenses…
- Philly FInest!
  
  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!
- MsHRDiva
  
  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*
- Gabrielle
  
  wtf white girls do the same even boys this is so effin dude
- Jonathan Still via Facebook
  
  Very true
- Karen Phillips via Facebook
  
  Yep, i found it interestingly accurate. I think you could further divide it by age group,which is less racially tagged.
- Karen Phillips via Facebook
  
  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.
- bella
  
  *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.
- kerry m.
  
  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.
- pops
  
  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.
- Jeelisa OhsoBlackAndPissed
  
  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.
