Kermit And Denise

As if all the iced tea memes weren’t enough, we found out just how many people’s childhood was influenced by The Muppets when news of Kermit The Frog’s platonic new smash buddy hit Twitter.

Sandra Bland

You know the math doesn’t add up when even Kim Kardashian isn’t falling for the jig. For all of the nonsense we sometimes see on Black Twitter, it was refreshing to see righteous indignation 140 characters at a time.

Drake vs. Meek Mill

Not to discredit Drizzy’s bars, but ultimately, Meek Mill fell victim to social media slander not Drake.

Rachel Dolezal

When people are out here passing in 2015, we’re fully prepared to hit them with the maximum amount of slander allowable under the law.

Don Lemon’s N-word Sign

At this point CNN has to know Don Lemon is trolling, right?

Cheryl Lynn vs. Anita Baker Beef

By the time we all realized this was fake and thus too good to be true, everyone had already gotten their laughs in watching a parody account of the famous R&B singer go ham like somebody’s intoxicated aunt. “Got To Be Real?” Not in this case.

Uncle Denzel Washington

We’re still waiting on an explanation of how Denzel ended up looking like everyone’s stereotypical cigarillo smoking, transmission fixing, linen short set rocking uncle from up the block. Black Twitter demands answers!

Madonna Kissing Drake

Aubrey is Teflon in 2015, and him deftly avoiding any residual effects of having Madonna’s tongue down his throat at Coachella is proof.

Plies’ Onstage Fade

Ain’t that a bih!?!

Jay Z’s TIDAL Fails

It’s rather sad folks are taking so much joy in the struggle of Jigga Man’s streaming music service. But outside of that B-Sides concert, it’s been a series of PR gaffes and setbacks.

Common On The Daily Show

No amount of Selma goodwill can excuse Common from essentially saying black people showing love to white people is the cure to racism.

Suge Knight’s Courtroom Antics

Between his sudden bouts with blindness and falling out in court, Suge is campaigning for an Oscar. We don’t believe you…you need more people.

Azealia Banks’ Playboy Spread

Has there been a time when so many folks clamored for a woman to put her clothes back on upon hearing the news of a Playboy pictorial? Azealia might rank next to Carnie Wilson as the worst body to grace Hugh Hefner’s pages.

Creflo Dollar’s Private Jet

When you ask for a G5 jet in the name of the Lord, you should prepare for all the digital slander that Twitter can handle.
