r/BlackPeopleTwitter bans non "black" users

submitted by prometheus from (self.MeanwhileOnReddit)

As you may have heard, r/bpt now requires verification of your race before you can post there. This means that in order to post your comment you have to take a picture of your forearm next to proof of your username. This is pretty racist and disgusting in my opinion. The hypocrisy over on reddit is insane

It was just a dumb tasteless joke

https://old.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopleTwitter/comments/b93w1j/rblackpeopletwitter_is_open_to_everyone_again/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=WatchRedditDie&utm_content=t3_b95wfk

And now they play victim and even go brigade joke subs inspired by their racism

Terrible "joke" it's almost like they used it as an excuse to try and call out different subs Love how they say they got tons of positive feedback too...awful

[–]Zombi 8 insightful - 3 fun8 insightful - 2 fun9 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Go make a whites only sub, get negative feedback, call everyone racist because whites can't have their own spaces. Profit off of all that sweet moral righteousness.

You'd think for a race that experienced "whites only" restaurants and the like in the 40's & 50's that they'd be the last one to go and create the exact same thing, but on the internet. Then they have the gall to act morally superior when people call them racist hypocrites. Joke or not the people criticizing them, even if they got woosh'd, weren't exactly wrong in the outrage. I personally think it's a funny joke, but I can understand being mad if you're taking it seriously. If you're going to make jokes about sensitive topics, don't be such pussies about it when people get offended. It comes with the territory.

Someone did make a whites only sub and it devolved into racist nonsense almost immediately. Reddit quarantined it after like a day.

Gotta thank AHS, CTH and whatever other subs that have sockpuppet armies to brigade what they don't like

[–]anescient 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Hopefully those of you who never understood finally have an understanding of what it was like for our grandparents and what it is still like today.

That is extremely disrespectful to your grandparents.

Sorry but it was a joke done with a purpose and all of reddit freaked out and the point was proven. In short, now white people know how it feels to be oppressed.

Yeah, white folk had a break from their daily white privilege. All those non-existent benefits they get.

Oh man, not only is it apartheid, it's also an easy exploit of false 'security': need one forearm from a friend (or purchase one, I can see trolls paying $5 for acces) and a whole group of people can illegally enter while everyone thinks they are legal.

[–]Tom_Bombadil 4 insightful - 4 fun4 insightful - 3 fun5 insightful - 4 fun -  (5 children)

How black do you have to be?

[–]Mnemonic 4 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 1 fun5 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Exactly!

The only wholesome race are albinos!

[–]Tom_Bombadil 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (1 child)

Conversely, Africans have no Neanderthal DNA in their genes, so they're literally the most human...

Therefore.... Albino Africans are the master strain of humanity!!!

[–]Tiwaking 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Albino's in Tanzania have their body parts stolen and sold to witch doctors

My soul is black.

Not with fresh jive, but with the darkness of Satan.

That's why I get sunburned so bad.

Damn bro! Sounds like you may have vampirism. Lycanthropy can cure that, but there are side effects... I recommend the bear-strain of lycanthropy. Black bear!!!

[–]astronautrob 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (5 children)

Wasn't it an april fools joke?

[–]SecretlyHistoric 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I stand corrected. I just checked and its reopen again.

[–]astronautrob 7 insightful - 3 fun7 insightful - 2 fun8 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

Man what a terrible "joke" Also like how they say they got a ton of positive feedback....really?

[–]SecretlyHistoric 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Nope. It's now a closed community. They commented on the thread and reemphized that it was not a joke

[–]astronautrob 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Hmm yea idk I just went on my account commented on bpt & made a post & I'm just a regular white dude.

[–]BoyNoWonder 5 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

Gotta love blacks being victims and bullies at the same time. It's the cool thing to do apparently...

[–]magnora7 2 insightful - 3 fun2 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

victims and bullies at the same time.

Reminds me of Israel's foreign policy tbh

[–]cyber_burn 4 insightful - 3 fun4 insightful - 2 fun5 insightful - 3 fun -  (0 children)

quick, let's give them some land that belongs to another country (again)

[–]anescient 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

... in other words it was not an April Fools joke.

[–]FictionalSalad 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

What the fuck? Now there's a tit for tat "whites only" sub popping up every 5 minutes. Thank you humans for being such shallow fucks.

[–]wizzwizz4 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (11 children)

Hmm… There are a bunch of people I don't recognise here, saying that it wasn't a joke (it was) and that the sub's still closed (it isn't) and generally brigading. Another sock army?

[–]SecretlyHistoric 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

Gotta check the timestamps. I thought it was still closed when I posted. Sometime after, they reopened it. When I found out it wasn't still closed, I posted a retraction.

[–]wizzwizz4 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

I'm not just talking about you. Though, good to know you're (probably) not part of the sock army.

[–]SecretlyHistoric 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (7 children)

Nah, all my socks are mismatched and full of holes. :) Sock army don't want me! :D

[–]wizzwizz4 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

SPEW might, though.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

SPEW?

[–]wizzwizz4 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (3 children)

From Harry Potter.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

She's a SPEW SJW.

...Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare.’

‘Never heard of it,’ said Ron.

‘Well, of course you haven’t,’ said Hermione briskly, ‘I’ve only just started it.’

‘Yeah?’ said Ron in mild surprise. ‘How many members have you got?’

‘Well – if you two join – three,’ said Hermione.

‘And you think we want to walk around wearing badges saying “spew”, do you?’ said Ron.

‘S – P – E – W!’ said Hermione hotly. ‘I was going to put Stop the Outrageous Abuse of Our Fellow Magical Creatures and Campaign for a Change in Their Legal Status – but it wouldn’t fit. So that’s the heading of our manifesto.’

She brandished the sheaf of parchment at them.

To be fair, House Elves are literal slaves.

But I was more referring to the fact that the only(?) house-elf member of SPEW is Dobby, who insists upon wearing unmatched socks.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

I forgot about the slave part. Now I remember the poorly designed animated Boobie or whatever in Hurry Trotter and the Chamber Pot of Secrets.

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

lol

In my mind's eye: replace the hammers with socks, some mismatched: https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OWPLNjcIFA8/T11ADEU0xWI/AAAAAAAAaHc/MSGYHxaMnZU/s1600/TheWall_157Pyxurz.jpg

So /r/WhitePeopleTwitter would be perfectly fine to start on Reddit, right?

[–]JasonCarswell 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

FYI: "Whites only" is a cooking with eggs sub.

FYI: "Yellows only" is a racist Asian sub.

[–]rabblerabblerabble 1 insightful - 2 fun1 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

Why are people so upset about this? Honestly, who cares?

If a community exists solely based around the color of their skin, they're a racist community. So what should we do to racists? Ignore them!

BPT wants only black people to post there? Fine! Let them! Who cares? They're trolling for attention and they're getting it by the boatloads.

The best thing that could've come out of their "April Fool's Joke" was that no one noticed or cared.

THIS SUBREDDIT IS FULL OF PIECE OF SHITS.
