Shonda Rhimes made a speech at a university and spoke about people and their "fake" political activism on the internet. She made comments about hashtags that sparked a lot of discussion and debate about internet activism between people who actively use social media in the name of social justice and those who don’t think it “counts as a movement.” Days later, Rhimes even took to Twitter to respond to her critics. Here was her qoute, "Hashtags are very pretty on Twitter. I love them. I will hashtag myself into next week. But a hashtag is not a movement. A hashtag does not make you Dr. King. A hashtag does not change anything. It’s a hashtag. It’s you, sitting on your butt, typing into your computer and then going back to binge-watching your favorite show." I personally LOVED what she said she is dead on in every way. We are not going out and changing these problems, we are just tweeting or posting about for some temporary attention. #POLITICALBUMS
