This is racist, plain & simple.
1. I don't run out to buy new phones.
2. I have a macbook pro and I do not use the internet on my phone, never have!
3. I rarely ever use Twitter, I prefer Tumblr.
4. Various points made in this article were very racist and stereotypical.
5. Whoever wrote it can jump in a hole and die.

It's not shade, sis. I'm not trying to be shady. The fact is, broadband internet is expensive in the US and not available in lot of urban neighborhoods. Verizon FiOS is running through the ground in my suburb, but the city where my school is located (which is home to a lot of students, but also low-income families) has nothing but expensive and slow cable connections.
Getting an unlimited talk/text/web plan on your smartphone (especially with various retailers such as MetroPCS, etc) for around $40-50 a month is cheaper than paying for broadband internet.
And Twitter functions just as well on a cell phone as it does on a computer, but the same can't be said for Facebook.
Yes, the initial article is not written with the best taste, but race is real, people! So once we get past all the gifs and  , maybe people can think about their response.
Or not.

Sis, this mess reminds of the time that KKK member wrote that ******** "study" that basically called fans of Beyoncé & Lil' Wayne dumb, while classical music and rock listeners were the smartest tricks since Einstein.
