30 Of The Most Chuckle-Worthy Black Tweets And Memes To Split Your Sides Laughing
Humor is by far one of humanity's greatest skills. It's actually difficult to say how we'd survive all the problems in our lives if we didn't approach some of them with humor. Humor can be good, or it can be evil, it can please, or it can literally destroy, it can be deceitful, or it can be honest.
By the way, probably the most honest type of humor is self-deprecation, when a person perfectly understands their own shortcomings and is not averse to joking about them. After all, who knows us better than ourselves? So it’s great when, for example, doctors joke about doctors or football players joke about football players (you watched The Roast of Tom Brady, right?). So here's another wonderful selection of the best 'Black tweets,' directly from ironic and witty Afro-American people, recently found on X!

How many people even know who Inspector Gadget was??? anyone? (I'm the only one raising my hand.)

Interestingly, people have been exploring humor for centuries, asking the questions - why do we laugh at all? Why will some thing or phenomenon be damn amusing for one person, but another one will perceive it completely differently? Why do some people like light, casual humor, while others are absolutely delighted with caustic sarcasm, heavily mixed with cynicism? Finally, where did humor per se come from?
Well, evolutionary biologist Jeffrey Miller, for example, tried to answer the question about the origins of humor. In his book The Mating Mind. How Sexual Choice Shaped the Evolution of Human Nature, published in 2001, the scientist suggested that a sense of humor developed in humans under the influence of sexual selection as a kind of means of demonstrating one’s intelligence. Literally, just as a peacock shows off its bushy tail, so people have tried to shine with their humor since ancient times. However, peacocks sometimes do way better...
Interestingly, many researchers today do believe that laughter can really significantly improve not only our mood, but also our health in general. At least since the mid-twentieth century, the direction of so-called “laughter therapy” has been actively developing.
Within its framework, specialists use a variety of humorous techniques so that the patient better understands themselves, their own behavior and mood. Well, and laughter simply increases the potential of our knowledge, enriches us spiritually (and if you look at the income of famous standup comics, it may enrich not only spiritually).
It's fine until the dog, toddler, or breeze comes along.
Be that as it may, we do hope you enjoy this collection of humor, so please feel free to scroll this list to its very end. And if you smiled at least once, it means that the goal of this post has already been achieved. And, yes, if you wrote some witty comment, it means that the goal is doubly achieved!
Is Law a people or a police? I need to know cause as an old white lady I'm nosy AF.
With that downpour, who can blame him? It ain't stupid if it works.
Can someone please explain this to... my balding, white friend? 😉
Everyone does that. Pizza, or beer, or pizza and beer, is the universal thank you gift for helping with the move.
Based on the majority of these, I'm somehow way more Black than I ever knew, which is fine but dang the memo came late
Quite apart from the fact that I don't 'get' most of these there seems to be something fundamentally fücked up about the whole idea of "black tweets", even if it is black people doing the tweeting. Do they all really think that black people and white people are so different?
Community can be very important. It's not exclusionary, it's just it's own subculture kind of. You can still interact with it. If you don't 'get it', perhaps you should spend time listening and existing around people with different lived experiences. It's not a really huge gap, just given their history, is it so odd that they'd want a space for themselves?
Load More Replies...I think to 'get it' I'd need to live in the USA and be familiar with modern slang as well as their cultural norms. I just about worked out ion for "I'm going to" but no way will I understand why, apparently, all black girls order calamari, it takes three miles for black people to brake to a stop and they leave tips in coupons rather than cash.
It doesn't appear that they were all posting using the same hashtag. I don't think they have groups (like subreddits) on X. So, it just looks like someone went out and found a bunch of halfway funny tweets that happened to be from black people and where maybe 1/3 had anything to do with being black. Seems really weird to me.
I wouldn't say that all of these are specific to black people, and i find it kinda weird we'd segregrate tweets based on that kinda thing.
How are we supposed all to integrate if people separate tweets based on race?
Dude, you were being openly racist in your comments. Don't be yapping about "integration".
Load More Replies...Who are you addressing? To my mind, setting up a list so that we can "laugh" at black people being different (and, by implication in many of these, inferior) does nothing to further the cause of integration. It's redolent of blonde/ Irish/ Mexican/ Polish jokes, which we should have ditched as a society decades ago.
It's quite clear that I'm addressing you. At least, it should be if you have an iota of reading comprehension. You made openly racist commments across this post. And there you go being racist again in your reply to me. No one set up a list to "laugh at black people". They set up a list of funny things that people who're black have written. If you weren't a racist, you'd know that you're supposed to laugh at the words, not the people writing them.
Whoooooo said we wanted too? Urm. Nah fr tho we just want to have something to ourselves. Yall be more pressed than my Nanas Sunday dresses.
Why are we doing anything based on skin colour? There's a word for that.
There ain’t nothin wrong with havin a bit of community. You form connections based on shared experiences, and being black is a unique experience (I am not saying what is said in these tweets is exclusive to black people), but it’s not wrong to want to have a cominity based on shared experiences culture and struggles.
I sort of agree, and i do understand what you mean. Irish living in other countries often form communities, people form communities based on language or religion. I get it. But it's still really uncomfortable to base anything on skin colour. These two things are contradictory, but both true.
Black people had our original language and religion and culture stolen from us, so we formed a new one. We have a culture and a dialect and a sense of community and shared experiences, part of which can only be gained from skin color.
most of these r white ppl, too, it’s rlly just everyone but black ppl posted them
This was all straight from buzzfeed from 3-4 weeks ago. Same tweets.
This seems really weird to just gather up tweets that happen to be by black people and put them all in one article. It didn't look like they all used the same hashtag or anything like that. Also, what the heck is an "Afro-American"? Is that a real term? And how did the "author" of this know that all the black people were American?
The slang they used is pretty clearly African American
Load More Replies...In every post? Maybe that's true and I missed it or it went over my head. To me, this is just as weird as having a list of tweets from "white people" or from "short people", where at least half don't have anything to do with being white or being short. I might be overthinking it, but it just seems weird.
I do like, pretty much everything here and I'm so white that I make Celine Dion look like a scary black lady.
What is with the segregation. I get some of these are funny, but still...
