Today on reddit I posted 3 comments on a post on the front page. They were deleted by mods, and to verify my account, I have to send them a picture of my forearm showing my skin color. If my skin is not dark enough, I don't get approved.

I actually thought you were joking at first, or making it up. I went to the link and I am honestly baffled this is a thing.

They don't want to end racism, they just want to be the ones openly being racist and black supremacy.

Yeah I wish it was a stupid joke, because it does sound like one. But nope, this is official policy from a sub that's on the front page of reddit every day. And apparently has been their subreddit policy since June 1. And reddit allows this.

Also, /r/fragilewhiteredditor exists, and the moderators of that sub have taken up /r/fragileblackredditor and all other similarly-named subs to block others from creating them in protest.

Yeah same... It's absolutely unreal.

They do want to end "racism".

"Racism" is a term used to attack white people. They view "racism" as a system of power that keeps white people ahead. Anything that equalizes this power structure (even including violence if it would be effective) is "antiracist" and is viewed as good.

Take antiracist scholar Ibram X. Kendi, for example - he says:

One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an antiracist. There is no in-between safe space of “not racist.” The claim of “not racist” neutrality is a mask for racism.

Basically, Kendi believes that you either discriminate against white people to "confront racial inequities" (in which case you are antiracist), or you don't, making you a racist. He doesn't care about being fair, or even equality of opportunity, but equality of outcome. He won't stop discriminating against white people until the relative power of the races is equalized.

I feel like I lost brain cells reading that.

I feel like I lost brain cells reading that.

Try reading a document I came across recently, "Equitable Decisionmaking". Careful, you might end up like Joe Biden.
