in reply to -Kanrabat-

first of all, black twitter just refers to the black members of twitter who predominantly talk to each other. Cultural similarities and perhaps some subconscious racism is the reason, Twitter isn't promoting an idea of a "black twitter"

Also wow, twitter being referred to as an sjw organization. SJW is apparently "any leftwing bias at all" now.
