Answer 1

Answer.

Black Twitter is a cultural identity which targets subtle forms of racism in famous personalities, wealthy successful bloggers, politicians, scholars, politicians, etc by mobilising a sense of racial solidarity in the Coloured people particularly Blacks, through the use of social media Twitter.

consisting of "Black" Twitter users from around the world on the Twitter social network, the focus of the content shared by Black Twitter is to target the rampant acts of violence, racial jokes and prejudice in mainstream society. Thus for instance, After Food Network personality Paula Deen admitted in a deposition that she’d used the ‘Negro ‘word, told racist jokes and harbored nostalgia for the antebellum South, Black Twitter users ridiculed the defense presented by Paula Deen with mock recipe ideas.

“Let My People Gumbo #PaulasBestDishes,” tweeted @ashoncrawley. The use of the hashtag ‘ #PualasBestDishes’ was aimed to create a public accountability for famous and influential people’s unabashed outlook towards racial inequality.
