Twitter to suspend @TalibKweli

The Issue

Problem
Talib Kweli aka @talibkweli as well as many other users are abusive. He uses his large following as a way to engage in targeted harassment, as well as being guilty of sexual assault, aggressive language towards black people & misogyny towards black women

Solution
Twitter needs to reevaluate its suspension process & stop catering to celebrities & accounts with large followings that abuse their privilege & power over others. Twitter needs to also heavily investigate the behavior of user @talibkweli. Also the reinstatement of users who have been wrongly suspended.

Personal story
My user name was @blackgirlking. I questioned @TalibKweli's hypocrisy in him talking down on capitalism & system of oppression but insulting ppl by boasting his wealth & his usage of classist remarks. He proceeded to send a barrage of insults, personal attacks as well as false claims that I was a "Nazi", "Nazi Lover", "Piece of Sh*t", amongst many other things. He also harassed one of my female friends for 2 weeks for speaking up for me. For the last 10 years he has been very abusive on Twitter not only to me but many other users especially other black ppl. He is rampant with antiblackness towards other black people.
