Whether you check Twitter every morning like it's the newspaper or only use the app when Instagram is down, then I can almost guarantee your timeline has been impacted by Black Twitter in one way or another.
In fact, Black culture has been so influential in pop culture and social media, that a documentary was created to explore the depths of its hold on society. That's right, Onyx Collective teamed up with Hulu to bring you Black Twitter: A People's History.
