I think Black Twitter (or twitter in general) is a good bellwether for where opinions are and and heading.

I think you see a lot of ideas that start out on twitter and reach a groundswell there become what you here people talking about on TV weeks later and become conventional wisdom months later.

All assuming you are following the right folk.
