You can either be a victim of the world or an adventurer in search of treasure. It all depends on how you view your life.

Black Twitter is a community that has spread throughout the social media world. Who is constituted as a member and what is the conversation about? That is what we seek to learn and discover when engaging in any of the social media forums. When there are political and social events the world turns to social media to help understand and dissect what has happened. Arguably, the racial and ethnic tensions are as high as they have ever been in our country due to the fact we can all engage in hard and political conversations online. Opinions are expressed and argued about but that ignites more tension. The world of social media provides an avenue for understanding as well as an opportunity for heightened tensions. It is a tricky complex. The more we engage online, the more we can learn about others and about our connections with each other. In a globalized world like the one we live in today, it is necessary to discover these marginalized communities.

We have to realize it’s not monolithic, not everyone participating is black, and a lot of people are not contributing to the activism, or they participate in some but [not] in others. People stand up for #blacklivesmatter when a black man is killed, but when a black woman or black trans woman is killed, they’re nowhere to be found.
