Frankly I think a lot of the charge against Black folks using academic language on Twitter? Is because it's harder for y'all to steal our analysis when we use big words.
Ima come back to this later on in the morning.............
So I can only talk about this from my experience. But my experience is someone who is not currently in academia, but while I was in grad school and Tumblr started becoming a thing, I dedicated a significant portion of my life to making academic resources widely available online.
This was circa 2009 when I first signed up for Tumblr, but I really got into it during my PhD program years, circa 2010-2013, and I kept it up after I left the program.
