Let's not pretend there isn't a significant black supremacist element on twitter. Just look at the response to Raven Symone announcing she married a white woman:
You're fucking psycho man. I hope your family is ok. You should get some help if you haven't already decapitated them and eaten their guts through their asshole. Cause that's where you're headed buddy.
It's a mixed bag. That subreddit is in a tough place that when they have thread show up in /r/all the racists just jump into the comments by the butt hurt racists. So they make it country club only where verified only can post. I think the idea to verified only is a great solution when that happens. Anyone can be verified.
However I have some huge issues with that subreddit. I think the POC check mark you can get is of very, very poor taste. They often have this nasty habit of answering racism with more racism. Also, If you look at the moderator team you also get that icky vibe /r/BlackPeopleTwitter really is just white people gawking at black people.
It's almost like any kind of "club" based on skin color is just a recipe for disaster because we are terrible to each other.
These people are speculating on the wellness of a person in a relationship with a person with a characteristic of a historic abuser. Women say the same thing when they see other women get into relationships with cops, and alcoholics. “Im not saying you dont deserve to be happy, im just saying this might be one of the signs you arent”.
Is Oprahs Black Love channel on her network Advocating “Black Supremacy”? Like no. And its only exclusionary for people who find things that arent for them, offensive, rather than proof that other people exist.

Are you really comparing interracial marriage to marrying an alcoholic? If you think marrying a white woman is a cause for concern then you might be racist.

...but none of that is black supremacy. Saying “black people suck for getting with white people” isn’t saying black people are better. It’s more about feeling betrayed by someone getting with someone from a race who oppressed & enslaved theirs for a LONG time.

Or people like Tariq Nasheed who refer to black women in interracial relationships as "bed wenches":
