Did that sub just post screnshots from Twitter?
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?
The "some reason" was that black twitter was a cultural subspace on twitter, and a fairly influential one at that.
yeah makes sense i guess
I used to think it was releated to racism due to the name.
It is related to racism. Stereotyping is always racism.
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.
