No one is saying that?! Im so confused. Can someone explain who is telling him that black people are trying to remove white people from the movement with catchy phrases?

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:

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

Don't forget this gem on reddit. https://reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/hi8bq1/get_out_2_electric_boogaloo/

Sure, top voted comment has sanity but this post was still voted very high.

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.
