Facebook is a dating app in disguise: Black Americans and Facebook

If you live in America or you watch paternity court, divorce court or couples court then you will understand what I mean by black Americans and facebook.
Allow me to air my observation please, Black Americans misuse facebook. Facebook is a social media platform which has its negative and positive effect which depends on how we use it.


Watching these programs and listening to a lot of stories and how much impact Facebook has on relationships and families is alarming. Some Black Americans basically put out everything about their lives on Facebook. You talk about how a man or a woman met the person who broke their home or relationship the answer is always '' we met on Facebook''. Issues such as she didn't tag me and he didn't comment on the picture I posted comes up when watching these tv shows and I keep wondering why grown-ups can't control how they use a social platform?.



Facebook is a dating site in disguise, believe me, it doesn't have to be given that title before people understand it. Black Americans need to learn how to use this tool in a good way.

In my opinion, people should filter what they put out there, two grown-ups appearing before the court and sharing shreds of evidence of how they fought on Facebook, how about you all just get physical?. My point is, learn to balance everything you do, don't let the Negative side of the media influence your real life.

    I don't have facebook because I don't think it's healthy the way people share every detail of their life there.

“He Asked For Wisdom” Monday, June 16, 2025

Key Verse “Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?” (2 Chronicles 1:10) Text —2 Chronicles 1:1-10 Message William Shakespeare says, “The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.” When God gave Solomon the opportunity as “king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude” (verse 9) to ask what He would give him, Solomon knew he needed wisdom to reign in David his father’s stead. So, instead of asking for riches, power, and other mundane things of this life like the people of the world would do, he asked for wisdom. The Scripture admonishes young people saying, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil” (Proverbs 3:5-7). We all know the sinking feeling we have when we do something poorly. Lack of wisdom brings disgrace and pain but wisdom in trials makes us useful to God and to fellow men. Only wise young people strive to serve God well and have great influence for greater good. Quote Lack of wisdom brings disgrace Challenge Allow God to direct your paths. Prayer for today Dear God, grant me more wisdom, in Jesus’ name.
