BHM Trends (That Should Die)

For some reason this year, The Black Community, we used Black History Month as a time to make complete fools of ourselves. Today marks the end of one of the most painful Black History Months in recent history. It seemed like Black Folks were losing every day. You’d log on to Black People Twitter and see a black icon like Whitney Houston or the Pimp that invented Soul Train had passed away. Or some hoodrats were fighting over some McNuggets at your local burger joint. Or a Black Pornstar had contracted AIDS. (R.I.P. Pinky...) World Star Hip Hop had record views this month. The rest of the world could only look on in disgust. Below are some trends that made us give a big “SMH!” to The Black Community.

The STATUS Problem

It’s Friday night, The Black Community. The goons are lurking, college students are looking to make bad decisions, and the Gainesville Police Department is looking to fill their arrest quota. No other place in Gainesville could satisfy all three of these requirements than our own legendary STATUS nightclub. Once you get past that Greek Skip Line, it’s 300 square feet of cramped Black People, Lacefronts, and Death.

TSID's Year in Review

Before we move forward into 2012, The Black Community, let’s take a look back at how we got here. 2011 was a great year for entertainment at the expense of others. People were making bad decisions and Black People Twitter and a newly introduced The Set Is Dead was there to cover it. We’ll start at the beginning of the year, June, when our beloved The Set Is Dead was born.  The campus was silent, and The Set empty as always, when we decided to revive the beloved forum of The Black Community and bring it to the Internet.
