Is hashtag activism, the likes of which prompted #CancelColbert and others, a revolutionary force in the public sphere or can it become a destructive internet mob?
Host Melissa Harris-Perry delved into the topic on her msnbc show Sunday with her panel of guests but, alas, there wasn’t enough time to explore the various ways that Twitter can both direct conversations and shut down others. There was more to talk about, so Harris-Perry and guest Zerlina Maxwell, a political analyst and contributing writer to theGrio, will keep the conversation going on Twitter this Thursday, April 10 at 11:30am ET.
To join the conversation, simply post questions for Melissa and Zerlina to their handles, @MHarrisPerry and @ZerlinaMaxwell, using #MHPtwitter.
As always, we ask that you please be respectful and follow our Community Rules, which you can read in full here.
Follow the Twitter chat here! You can also watch the Twitter segments below. Be sure to check back here this Thursday where you can catch the conversation.
