With the demise of Google+, many of us have sought other sources for daily news and other social contacts. Gab and MeWe are two of them, Reddit is another.
Reddit is, by far, as restrictive and biased as just about any similar site I’ve seen so far. The main problem is how it’s structured. It does not have one open area but a myriad of subreddits moderated by individuals who make up their own rules.
Such is the case with this particular page.
A Reddit page dedicated to black issues has declared that white people are no longer allowed to post there anymore.
The forum, r/BlackPeopleTwitter, posted an “important announcement,” which stated, “Due to the overwhelming number of white people and white opinions present on BTP, we are now restricting access to this sub for black folks only.”
Non-black people then responded to the post by humiliating themselves, embracing their white guilt, and begging to be allowed to post again.
“Super white dude here. I’d like to apply for the token white guy position,” responded one white user. “I won’t post or comment unless you all want to say something like “this sub isn’t racist we have a white guy.”
One of the ways around this is to establish your own subreddit and let those who wish to follow you know your rules.
