One of the most powerful forces on social media, is the phenomenon called ‘Black Twitter’. “Black Twitter” is a network of culturally connected communicators using the platform to draw attention to issues of concern to black communities.

On Friday, Hulu released a teaser for ‘Black Twitter: A People’s History’ . The Hulu and Onyx project chronicles the dominance of Black Twitter, which made the community influential both politically and culturally. The three-part series is being produced by notable media mogul and showrunner Prentice Penny of Insecure.

Right after the teaser for Black Twitter: A People’s History’ , 5 seconds later Black reacted to the thought of getting a documentary  along with skepticism about the project,  concern over the focus on media celebrities versus regular users, and apprehension over inviting outsiders to watch an inside look at the community.

Black Twitter arguing over whether that Black Twitter documentary is gonna include all the right people and topics, is the most Black Twitter thing ever.
