So…
I was reading this story on Jezebel on how Downtown Sports Bar located in Raleigh creates ways to deny minorities in its institution. Then I digitally rubbernecked my way to their Yelp page and wasn’t disappointed with the plethora of negative reviews. But the most interesting thing I found going down this rabbit hole was this website, Chirpstory, which lets users create stories using the tweets sent out by others relating to the topic. Juxtaposing the Raleigh Downtown Chirpstory with the Jezebel one made it a pretty exciting read. The linked tweets were not just the NCCU student that raised the issue but from just well, EVERYONE! Kudos to Jezebel’s headline: Black Man Kicked Out of Racist Bar; Cops don’t help, but Social Media Does.
It’s amazing how social media has become an effective platform for the disenfranchised. Just look at how powerful Reddit, YouTube, and 4chan have become? It’s powerful enough to make even a humble bus monitor half a million dollars richer.
