📣 Twitter Hate Speech



This information was released on Friday, December 2, 2022 and, of course, it's no surprise that Elon Musk disputes the accuracy. Just to be clear, hate speech is harmful to anyone and everyone who has to endure it. But, as usual, all of the news media attention and discussion seems to focus "the least" on the group experiencing the highest rise in hate speech. 

So, even when Blacks are compared to other groups that are being discriminated against, we're still last to be considered (if at all) regardless of the amount of hate we're experiencing. The news media only include Blacks in general statements about the problem, and then move on to more in-depth discussions about the hate directed toward Gays and Jews. 

And, remember when a hashtag and movement was started called "Stop Asian Hate" and Congress actually passed a bill to address it in 2021? I asked this question then and I'm still asking it now... What about Blacks who have endured this kind of hate for hundreds of years in America? Needless to say, I'm also still asking WTH and SMH to the sound of crickets...
