It's a well intentioned, although poorly thought out, way of "muting" oneself online to show solidarity with the BLM movement and to let black voices share their experiences and vital info. Instead it actually drowns them out, obfuscates useful information and turns your various timelines into endless black nothingness. Although I can see the value in hijacking social media for a moment to amplify a single message, some BLM leaders would rather it not occur for the aforementioned reasons[0].
