Macaroons & Peonies

Social media is an amazing tool to use when promoting a business or staying connected with people. That being said it can be used when promoting yourself, like Barack Obama did when he was running for president. It can give you the ability to reach audiences who otherwise you wouldn’t be able to reach them. President Trump however, seems to need a refresher course when it comes to what you post on social media and what is better left unsaid. Politics and Social media go together like crunchy peanut butter and jelly. I say crunchy peanut butter because it truly is amazing and such a great combo, but there can be some bumps in the road when the people in charge of our country may say off the cuff remarks, or even just recently of the White Press Secretary. In an attempt to apologize for an off the cuff remark, Spicer tweeted more then once in trying to formulate a proper apology. 

Though we all claim we are not racist and that color really doesn’t matter it seems that when it comes to social media, all bets are off. People feel that because they are behind a screen, there words don’t hurt as badly as they would in person. That being said, people always post stupid things however it seems to be heightened whenever there seems to be a racial attack of some sort, having everybody come out of all nooks and cranny’s with all there different opinions. Just because you have an opinion on how a certain racial group should be treated, does not mean you should be sharing it all over Facebook. It is a value you have and you learned it from some where, so break the cycle. Instead of posting all over social media about how you despise one group, just don’t. There are younger and younger kids logging on to these social media cites everyday and already have enough toxicity  from the media, they do not need to see there Uncle Mike on facebook rant about a racial group.
