Reddit is the most low key racist place on the web

breh fukk reddit. Idk what the you think it is about me but it's not what you think

I hate to come off as aggressive since I'm not that type of guy but I was uncomfortable with some of the comments you were making about Baltimore. It seemed like you refused to acknowledge the systemic racism at play.

I understand their is systematic racism and racist in powerful positions. I just don't agree with rioting and I feel Baltimore is a town ran by us so it looks silly to me that they are blaming white racist. I think the problem is government overreach but no one is even talking about that. you and I the have the same goal in sight just different ways of achieving it.

Reddit is ok for the most part. I wouldn't feel out of place in the general section. But i have noticed episodes of anti black sentiment. For example, a question that asked redditers why they were racist resulted in commentators really talking about the dysfunctional behaviour of blacks. It seems any racism is aimed at Black people in particular. Its a surprise because reddit is a liberal haven, it's as liberal as your gonna on the mature side of the internet (outside of weaboo fests like Neogaf). I think people in general become more racist when they have the security of anonymity, i have seen this with all races and not just whites. People tend to say things they wouldnt say in real life. I get that, so i dont allow myself to get overly bothered by racist comments online.

Theres a thread trending right now on reddit about the emancipation of slaves and the compensation britain had to pay to buy out all the slaves from the slave owners. Alot of commenters were empathising with the slave owners for their loss of their slaves in the emancipation era and those comments were being upvoted. This was on the front page of reddit today. This was the most downvoted comment of the thread.

While that is a good point it is not good enough to justify reimbursing people that took away the freedom of other humans, forced them to work suicidally hard without payment, tortured them, raped them, and then repeated the process with their children.

The crimes against humanity of the Nazis or of the Imperial Japanese or the "crimes" the French royalty were killed for weren't illegal at the time of them being commited either. In legal principle that means that they shouldn't have been punished, yet you'd be hard pressed to find someone who would support that.

Furthermore, freeing the slaves wasn't even a punishment to the slavers, it was simply (a step towards) the restoration of the natural order and rule of law to the equality of men.

@ lowkey. They throw the N word around like a vowel. Entire subreddits devoted to racial bullshyt. Most sites that have a majority white visitor group are like this. Bodybuilding, 4___, IGN, etc. I think the only exception I've found so far has been GAF, but over there the racist posters are more subtle with their racism

at Reddit being "liberal". The Reddit crowd is the fake liberal Bluffington Post crowd. They'll be progressive and conscious of LGBT problems but when it comes to black people or religion (Islam in particular), they do a 180.

And don't try to make this an "all races" type of thing because we know that white people go HAM on the internet when it comes to expressing their hatred of black people. It's not even a comparison.

You ever been to thecoli my friend? Now that place got the racist game down pat.

The Coli is a Quaker website compared to Reddit. There are subreddits devoted to images of black men being killed.

It wasn't always like that. Reddit used to full of mostly liberal friendly people but as it got more popular I think it just attracted scumbags.

The straw that broke the camels back for me was after the Trayvon verdict. Up until that point I considered myself a "redditor".

After that I barely went on and when I did I just lurked. Nowadays it's gotten even worse. But it's all good because I made my way to the Coli.


Its weird, but now that Im on the Coli I can enjoy reddit for what it is without giving a shyt. I enjoy posting and everything.

You know what else is wierd? The interem CEO has a black husband and Snoop Dogg is a part owner (although I assume he owns a tiny fraction.)

Huffington post is another liberal haven and any racism that is posted over there is concealed, at least from what i've seen. It's far more preferable to most news webites imo. I dont know if you read comments on the mainstream news sites and video ones like Youtube where the racism is out in the open. A lot of "non racists" and "liberals" in public will post things that can pass off as racism. You have to be relative here.
As for races i frequent a many websites and read comments on forums and social networking sites like Twitter and i find racism frequently posted by Asians, Arabs and Blacks (often towards other blacks sadly); none of them can outdo white people though.

So I recently stumbled upon a site thecoli.com that's supposed to be about hip hop but what it actually seems to be is black st0rmfr0nt. • /r/TumblrInAction

Another Reddit post about us @TMNT4000 These cacs love to Screenshot your post

 

[Numero Deux]

Oh look, the "Black St0rmfr0nt" bs again.
He just happened to "stumble across" this place, huh?

It's funny, because virtually all other forums one will "stumble across" on the web are overwhelmingly white/non-black due to demographics numbers. And regardless of the actual content/subject said forums are ostensibly focused around, the users have a way of making those places have shades of SF in one way or another. Especially when someone posts a thread regarding black folks. Or randomly brings up (and insults) black folks in a completely unrelated subject for no reason.

I guess someone can make a case that every single forum on the web is some sort of SF spin-off.

 

[King Jove]

i can't help but anytime someone calls the coli the black st0rmfr0nt .

 

[KingSlime]

If reddit puts this place on the map this site is gonna go downhill FAST
