Black people make Twitter happen. It would be useless without black voice. But Twitter consistent cuts those voices from its Moments.

This Moment features a white woman explaining she's not comfortable with the way Mayer uses the n-word. How you think black people feel?
-
This Moment features another white woman calling out peole who didn't previously denounce Maher's Islamophoboa and transphobia. Umm.
-
This Moment features Muslim and Arab voices exposing Bill Majer has been a bigot. Which is true but... THE DUDE SAID THE N-WORD.
-
Can we hear from black folks about this,
@twitter? Can you actually feature black voices, even just this once? -
Black people disproportionately make Twitter a thing, yet Twitter disproportionately cuts black voices on Moments. This must end, too.
-
Lol
@twitter went and deleted some of the whites in today's Moment and finally added some more black folks. Improvement, I guess.

Did they actually edit this "moment" after your critique? Because it looks different now, with more black voices.
-
Yeah they did.
-
To be fair, it might be a twitter bot adding tweets to the moment as it finds them
-
Algorithms tend to be discriminatory; they're usually coded by white who hold biases against poc (and black people in particular).

How?! Srsly. What algorithm could miss all those tweets?
-
The same one camped out in the accounts of POC and LGBT activists looking for any "reason" to terminate their accounts. Smh

just woke up & scrolled through this "moment" & that was literally my first thought. "Why is Twitter only showing what white people think?"
