Black Twitter
Just because it is a society in which only black people are members, this creates a racial separation from the rest of Twitter. Imagine if there was a thing called “White Twitter” or “Asian Twitter”? This is exactly something we fear that the world is becoming, and Twitter and social media are promoting it.
These groups on social media, that are mainly created based on racial differences, would affect the real life. Twitter is very popular among today’s society and because of that, Twitter leaves a huge mark on the real life. In a way these groups would promote racism and conflicts among races, which is the last thing we need. For example, in high schools, the aspect of racial separation is very obvious. I’m not saying that this is only because of black twitter or any other similar online societies, but it definitely contributes to the problem. When black students only hang out with other black students and whites hang out with white, we create two different societies with different way of thinking and opinions. Because our opinions will be different in most cases, there will be conflicts in real life just like the ones on twitter. By making two different communities, we don’t hear each other’s sides of the story or opinions, which is crucial in understanding a problem and fixing it.
