#WinterSoulstice: This is why #December21 trended on social Monday

In a response to the debate, user BB, purported that Black people are genetically “stronger,” and Dec. 21, the user said, would be the day that something magical would occur among Black people to combat any danger vaccinations might pose. Her reply has since been tweeted more than 14,000 times and garnered 3,000 comments.

“As black people, genetically we are stronger and smarter than everyone else, we are more creative, on December 21 our Real DNA will be unlocked and majority will be able to do things that we thought were fiction. Learn who u are as a people they wanna make us average,” the tweet reads.

Her comment began a string of responses that joked about the possibility of superpowers.

Though most appeared to be jokes, some made connections between scientific developments by Black people and other instances of excellence that could speak to unlocking such DNA powers.

By Monday morning, the tweets got wittier, and many said the fictional holiday of sorts made them feel empowered.

Some online users even called out what their metaphorical power and fictional power would be, including the power of foresight, positivity, and, for those going in the fictional direction, “girls forcefield.”
