12688302, turns out reddit just discovered black twitter.
Posted by Errol Walton Barrow, Wed Dec-31-14 11:43 PM

A compilation of black twitter's greatest retweets has been going on, on r/blackpeopletwitter http://www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/. because of an askreddit post, the rest of reddit got turned on to the subreddit and now the subreddit is flooded and upvoted to the near top of r/all , from the top 60 - 100. A commentator noticed and reacted at r/blackpeoplegifs; http://www.reddit.com/r/blackpeoplegifs/comments/2qxlv8/mrw_i_see_that_white_reddit_has_discovered/

interesting discovery.

12688343, i just dont quite "get" reddit
Posted by Binlahab, Thu Jan-01-15 09:34 AM
its basically GD on roids w/ way more white people and thats kinda...scary to me


does it really matter?

for all my fans who keep my name in their mouth: http://i.imgur.com/v2xNOpS.jpg
12688370, i'm JUST now getting into reddit. I kinda love it.
Posted by double negative, Thu Jan-01-15 10:57 AM
now realizing its the source for a lot of internet content
12688375, It's fun...but you gotta take breaks from the whiny racist hive mind periodically.
Posted by Lardlad95, Thu Jan-01-15 11:40 AM
12688419, Pretty much, I've been on since it' started and I take a break every few months
Posted by JiggysMyDayJob, Thu Jan-01-15 02:23 PM
The problem with reddit now is that it's gotten so popular that a lot of the subreddits get filled with repeat content. That and a lot of subreddits that used to be maintained by fans are now run by the companies and the content has changed or is censored by the mods.

12688483, What subs you follow?
Posted by Hitokiri, Thu Jan-01-15 09:30 PM
12688546, Used to do a lot of world news. Now just sports and Star Wars.
Posted by Lardlad95, Fri Jan-02-15 04:00 AM
I loved world news but that place is crawling with paid shills, white supremacists, anti-semites AND zionists.

Also the Africa sub is heart breakingly underserved.

12688599, I halfway don't like the Star Wars sub anymore
Posted by JiggysMyDayJob, Fri Jan-02-15 10:24 AM
I'm happy people still post Original Content but I can feel the Disney clamps on that sub are coming soon.
12688392, kinda scary???
Posted by Kira, Thu Jan-01-15 12:58 PM
That's very scary actually. Reddit seems like the place where someone will hack your shit because you left a snarky response. I don't want those problems at all.

Posted by howisya, Thu Jan-01-15 11:56 AM
i assume reddit has completely stolen the thunder from something awful and fark with these contests, being the "front page of the internet" and all
12688384, its basicslly opk with a little splash of racisim for flavor.
Posted by Kama7, Thu Jan-01-15 12:04 PM
12688430, "A little splash of racism", my ass
Posted by kayru99, Thu Jan-01-15 03:06 PM
its racist as fuck on a good chunk of those subs
surprisingly so
12688451, RE: "A little splash of racism", my ass
Posted by howisya, Thu Jan-01-15 06:25 PM
there is quite a lot of racism on the web that i think started out as mock and ironic racism but soon became actual, unchecked, over the top racism, and it's really sad
12688466, yeah, the racism even bubbles up on the news subreddit
Posted by Errol Walton Barrow, Thu Jan-01-15 08:03 PM
I sometimes wonder if the country has that base level of intolerance under the surface and reddit simply reflects that, or whether a disproportionate amount of racists are drawn to reddit as an outlet.
12688469, yes.

both.
12688478, in my opinion some of both plus
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Thu Jan-01-15 08:55 PM
the fact that everything in our faces right now is basically you are either a or b


if you support a then you must hate b and vice versa


so this polarization seems to really give the ignorant racists like, a reassurance that what they are doing is supported
12688485, yeah, it's truly an awful time to be alert, alive, and aware
Posted by howisya, Thu Jan-01-15 09:37 PM
12688507, it feels like there is this huge mob growing
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Thu Jan-01-15 10:58 PM
and the bigger it gets, the more emboldened the dummies on both sides will feel.


12688513, RE: it feels like there is this huge mob growing
Posted by howisya, Thu Jan-01-15 11:06 PM
i don't know what's worse, feeling like there is a flashpoint or series of flashpoints being built to or this being a permanent state of normalcy
12688531, i think this is as close as we of this generation
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Fri Jan-02-15 12:33 AM
can get to what the feelings were like in the 60's and 70's. like things were just building up and building up
12688527, It's more or less the same size it's always been IMO
Posted by Atillah Moor, Fri Jan-02-15 12:20 AM
I'm always wondering "who are these people" internet hicks? The guy in the cube me to me? Or both? Probably both.
12688532, i feel ya
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Fri Jan-02-15 12:37 AM
i think just being my perspective as a white person when other white people start to feel more emboldened by this and start to talk the "poor us white people mantra" as i call it seems to be getting worse.

Seems to be people that have nothing to complain about, omg we got a black guy as a president the sky is falling. poor white people! Its they have all this outrage all of a sudden.


FOH




Just watching who comments on these fake ass race baiting "satire" websites has really opened my eyes.
12688477, true its kinda out of control in some subs. check out /r/imgoingtohellforthis
Posted by Kama7, Thu Jan-01-15 08:54 PM
12688506, there's a sub called ni***rs
Posted by kayru99, Thu Jan-01-15 10:42 PM
filled with nothing but racist bullshit.

There's subs that black people have created to talk among themselves, and racist white folks regularly roll up and act a fool

any city sub, for a city with black people in it, often goes off the rails to racist fuckery

Sexist as fuck, too.

To get ANYTHING worthwhile outta the site, you HAVE TO tailor your subs. Cuz otherwise, you'll want to slap the shit outta the next white dude you see
12688387, nice! i saw this one start
Posted by double negative, Thu Jan-01-15 12:24 PM
12688464, that second one's great.

how come the gif quality is so shitty?
12688533, alot are screen captures from their phone
Posted by GriftyMcgrift, Fri Jan-02-15 12:38 AM
and then possibly edited and resized
13077148, there was an article I read on Vice or something that explained
Posted by Nodima, Tue Oct-04-16 02:37 PM
how those images come into being. essentially people are taking screenshots of the image without the joke then hastily editing its size on a phone app or their computer's basic image viewer so they can add their own joke, or instead of saving the image on their phone they're taking a screenshot and sending that to their friends and then that keeps happening with each friend rather than any of them saving the image itself and the resolution just goes completely to shit eventually in both cases.

Unfortunately I just can't figure out the right string of SEO to find this article.

Actually it might have been a different dude because the dudes lips were bigger.

Is that some sort of medical condition?
