And according to University of North Texas professor Meredith Clark, who wrote a dissertation on Black Twitter titled "To Tweet Our Own Cause: A Mixed-Methods Study of the Online Phenomenon 'Black Twitter,'" there are multiple Black Twitters within that broader network that reflect the diverse array of black people in America.

Though we often think about Twitter as one primary network, academics describe Twitter as a series of virtual neighborhoods. The experience of moving through my network of Black Twitter followers can become an emotional journey, from the insider jokes to the stories of death to the moments when someone jumps in with a comment that helps me destroy a racist like a friend jumping in to help you win a fight. And the news posted on Black Twitter continues to inform me about tragic incidents before mainstream media begins covering them. Protest hashtags like #iftheygunmedown and #ByeAnita and #BeingABlackGirlIsLit have given me life. Even when Twitter as a whole seems to be in its twilight, Black Twitter still feels homey and entertaining, and it can still be a space for protest when needed. Black Twitter also gives me a reason to watch stuff like Scandal and the BET Awards in real time. I love the way the collective community has an ego that emanates from each user and becomes an ultimate badass party. I feed off of Black Twitter's bravado, strength, and wit. Like an amazing virtual barbershop, you can talk politics with Marc Lamont Hill and Joy Reid and Netta Brielle rielle, then basketball with JA Adande and Bomani Jones, then culture with Questlove and Jamilah Lemieux and Reggie Hudlin and Soledad O'Brien, and on and on. That said, I still derive great joy from Black Twitter. Putting aside the obvious moral implications, these problems are not good for the business of Twitter, which is beginning to r eally struggle. It's not helping Twitter's image or user experience to be tacitly supportive of racists, misogynists, and anti-semites who attack people in public. Last week, I was accosted by someone called Why should I have to see that? Why should anyone have to see that? I think every woman who's active on Twitter can tell you about the horde of insane things that are sent to them. The New York Times article " Why I Left Twitter" pointed out the existence of all sorts of handles that are overtly anti-semitic and pro-Hitler. Instead, the overabundance of racist, sexist, and anti-semitic trolls are destroying the Twitter experience for many people. Twitter is a private company, they can establish rules of conduct that combat hate speech. But why didn't they stop it before it got that far? Remember, this is not a First Amendment issue. And apparently someone at Twitter HQ agrees because after Ioffe put out that tweet, the offending accounts were suspended.

She complained privately to no avail and then tweeted, "Guy tweeting Nazi flags at me, says is not in violation of Twitter policy." That's outrageous. Just this week, writer Julia Ioffe was getting Nazi flags tweeted at her. The people who govern Twitter provide us with no practical policing mechanism, they only act when someone complains.
