Black Twitter vs. White Twitter
Twitter is one of the largest social media platforms in the world and has multiple uses. People use this outlet to receive news (local or national), stay up-to-date on what's controversial and trending, and to connect with others.
Twitter has a way of bringing people together, despite the cause. Within the Black community, this is a thing we like to call, "Black Twitter". Black Twitter is basically an open forum that allows Blacks to be unapologetic about who we are. Black Twitter is more personal than some might think. Its something we claim as "ours". We're very sensitive about it as well. When one tries to imitate or make fun of, we immediately go into retaliation mode. This is where other Blacks can relate to one another as well through shared experiences, memes, and trending videos.

This is also where we celebrate Black Excellence. We like to shine a light on those who may not get the recognition they deserve. Many people have been able to go viral and become famous off of this support.
We are known to be very blunt and straight to the point about topics. People say that in today's society we tend to break each other down rather than build each other up. However, I like to look at Black Twitter as our very own support system. We're always quick as a collective group to defend our society when being addressed. Which I think helps bring us all a little closer in the world.
