Social media is not my ministry.
My Facebook page sued me for years of gross negligence; I tweet about as often as I wake up a pregnant white woman, and my Instagram page exists only to gawk at the lines at Houston’s Turkey Leg Hut.
I mean, look at that shit. And that’s three hours before it even opens?!?
But every once in a while, the beck-and-call of social media becomes irresistible, and I find myself scouring through hashtags, tweets, and clapbacks like anybody else with more important things to do. Which brings me to my latest discovery: the #MAGAChallenge.
On Sept. 14, indie rapper Bryson Gray—who sources report is actually Paris Dennard’s tether—mistook his MAGA hat for a microphone and issued a challenge to the internet.
“MAGA BOY,” he captioned his Tea Party starter as his bloodline cowered in embarrassment. “I want y’all to [do] your own rap to it too then tag me! Let’s make liberals cry!”
A phenomenon was born.
Since that fateful day, wayward negroes from far and wide have taken to Twitter to pledge allegiance to their bright orange God.

White folks:
Kids:
And even “celebrities” are getting in on the act:
It’s the hottest trend since white supremacy.
