According to Mashable contributor Lindsey Robinson, the “white girls do it better” hashtag was “at first, the hashtag [that] accompanied selfies of white women as a way to promote racist ideas and commentary about the ways white women are ‘better’ than black women.” This quickly came to an end and the hashtag backfired. The Internet responded appropriately, setting out to eliminate the hateful nature of the hashtag,” Robinson says. “Twitter users started to reappropriate the hashtag, using it to accompany snarky remarks.”

Think Progressive contributor Tara Culp-Ressler in “The Myth of the Absent Father” argues that Black fathers are in their child’s life just as much as fathers of any race — and, at times, more often.
Culp-Ressler states, “The Pew Research Center, which has tracked this data for years, consistently finds no big differences between white and black fathers.”
