On a daily basis, my feed on Facebook is inundated with links to blogs. Gossip blogs, news blogs, fashion blogs, etc. Some of my favorites are Necole Bitchie, Madame Noire, Hello, Beautiful!, and Clutch.
Yet, I sometimes feel reluctant to even place a comment on the page. So many people seem to make negative commenting and rabble-rousing a damn full-time job. It's unbelievable the time people put into debunking celebrities lives, refuting others' opinions and making an otherwise positive post a hot spot for hate and bitterness.
I can imagine folks posting up on blogs...hitting refresh WAITING with excited pleasure to see if someone has replied to their fuckery.
There's something seriously wrong with a person/people, when they can't have a positive discussion EVER and...AND...STAY ON TOPIC!
For instance, If there's a post about single mothers who work...it'll turn into an argument about hating men because they leave them single. Well, it may be relevant on a whole, but that doesn't have anything to do with discussing single moms, their jobs and how they manage.
Another instance...Solange releases a new video. Here comes the folks saying how she's better than Beyonce, which leads to how Beyonce has purposely tried to keep Solange down...to how Beyonce's baby is Solange's and finally...Blue Ivy is a doll. O_O
Chile...What's WRONG with folks?
I just saw a post on Clutch, about the rate of young Black men graduating from college and some chick turned it into how women need to focus on themselves and forget about men because they don't care about US. How we show concern for men on a women's blog. The fact that the post was geared toward Black TEENS who are still being cared for by parents...NAMELY, WOMEN...mattered not. She continued to spew her ridiculous ideology until the comments were closed on that post.
It's not that I don't think people should voice their opinions. I just wish more of us did it with tact, respect and learned how to stop speaking when it's no longer effective or respected. To continue on and on in an attempt to convince someone your opinion is fact, looks like the sign of a psycho. That's not too far-fetched either, since the Internet is a hotbed for undercover unbalanced folk.
For the love of all that's digital...please know when to log off. Everything thought doesn't need articulating.

True that!
Did you click on the link for Clutch near the end of the post? That chick was just ignorant.
