 Black Twitter  is an informal community largely consisting of African-American users on the social network Twitter focused on issues of interest to the black community, particularly in the United States.

The platform has evolved from a place where people casually talked; it has become a dynamic experience of interconnected comfort, fellowship, and joy. Baylor University’s MiaMoody-Ramirez, Ph.D., professor of journalism, public relations, and new media, described the platform where African Americans have used Twitter to share narratives on issues of interest to the black community, particularly in the United States. Black Twitter has become imperative to culture, especially pop culture. Scholars such as Dr. Meredith Clark have expressed two reasons why African American Twitter users have emerged as a subset of interest. One reason is their representation; they possess a unique ability to influence Twitter trends and viral moments dramatically.
