#TweetLikeThe1600s wasn’t funny to everyone. (screenshot)
In one of the first major Black Twitter trending topics of 2018, the fam thought up what was apparently intended as a humorous hashtag. And while some did find it funny, others think it’s in bad taste.
#TweetLikeThe1600s features a conversation or joke setup surrounding enslavement before punchline comes with a reactionary GIF.
