Paris Terrorist Attacks, Social Media Reaction, and Patti LaBelle Pies.

On Friday, November 13th 2015, the city of Paris, France was rocked by ISIS/ISIL Islamic Terrorist Attacks in three locations. One attack was carried about outside of a sports stadium during a football (soccer) game. Another happened at a metal concert featuring metal band “Eagles of Death.” The last attack occurred at a Paris restaurant. All of these attacks were simultaneously coordinated by about 8 terrorists, within the same general area of one another. Which, by happenstance or intentionally, were not far from the “Charlie Hebdo” attacks that happened in January of 2015.

This caused an international response, since this type of violence is not common in France, let alone the middle of Paris. It also caused an international reaction because of the Syrian “migrant” angle. At least two of the terrorists involved with this incident are confirmed Syrian “migrants.” People that have come into Europe en masse recently. There was (and continually is) discussion about lessening the amounts of immigrants from volatile Islamic regions of the world, due to the threat of terrorism.

Since the Paris attack incident caused much international response on social media, it seemed to “interfere” with other incidents that have also caused international (or at least big) responses. One incident was the obvious situation going on with racism at The University of Missouri (Mizzou) – on which I talked in an earlier video on my channel. The other incident happened in April, but people were sharing the story like it happened the same time as this Paris incident, which was the terror attacks on Garissa University in Kenya.

The contention on social media began when people were arguing over which cause to support. People began to say that since France is involved in a form of neo colonialism in Africa, that we should not support them on social media by changing our Facebook profile pictures to feature the French flag. We should have the red black and green “Black American flag.” Or the Kenyan flag.

Then you had people still talking about Patti LaBelle’s line of pies, which was also a big social media event at the time. This video, I break down the science of what happens to people when they can’t process more than one hot button interest at the same time. The anger, the frustration, the confusion, and the general untreated territory affect that social media often presents.
