      Basically. Usually it was a tweet that was either funny or being made fun of. For some reason there was a separate subreddit for tweets made by black people. Possibly to make fun of racial segregation?

      I used to think it was releated to racism due to the name.

        I was screenshots of people basically being mental or entitled on twitter. You’re classic “white Karen” etc. stereotype. There was or is a black twitter too…wonder if that’s banned. That’s definitely more racist.

          No, it wasn’t. Nor is it racist for black people to want to have a community that can talk about black issues without Nazis harassing them in the comments.

            Oh I thought it was people making fun of black peoples posts. Which I thought was bad.

              Nah, though people obviously tried to do that a lot, thus the mods having to lock comments pretty frequently when it would trend and the racists would pour in.

              Realistically what they should have done was make it a private community after it got big enough.

            Yeah, no, segregation based on race is racism regardless of your reasoning of it

            Don’t want Nazis? Moderate properly, not force people to upload pictures of their skin color

                This is why I, as a gamer, always make sure to join women’s book clubs as well.

                I don’t read any of the books because there aren’t enough boobs in them but it’s important that women don’t exclude me

                Not one of them has even tried to stop me because they know I’m right, except when they get triggered by my speaking truth to power ovs

                    I’m not the one busting out boring racial slurs to try and prove how making people give _Reddit mods pictures of their skin to be allowed to post on a public forum somehow isn’t racist, that’d be you
