Popular Subreddit /r/BlackPeopleTwitter bans white people from commenting/posting

"Finally, a space where we can be free to say whatever we want! Including you know what!"
Who on that mod team is alt-right?
Seriously y'all. The "sorry for being white" shit is a leftist strawmen straight out of the alt-right playbook. They're just doing some shitty trolling. Don't fall for it.
One of those trolley supermods is u/wsgy111. Check the ones he mods.
No doubt,but you are missing the point. Once there is a precedent that a subreddit can explicitly do this it becomes harder to police and prevent a whites only group from forming using this practice as justification. Do you just think Reddit will prevent that? Companies like them favor "Fairness" over everything but profitability. Having a firm rule against this just makes things easier. Reddit has a shitty track record with policing racism as is.
I mean there's a decent amount of people in here saying they are for it so...🤔
C'mon, what true leftist or liberal doesn't post on the paragon of goodness that is r/muslimpeoplehate?
I mean the main giveaway was naming a place "black people twitter" it was obvious who the target audience is.
I don't think that guy even does anything there, the other mods can't kick him because he made the sub. I'm familiar with a couple of mods on that team and I would def not apply the alt-right label to them which makes me hesitant to think that would be their aim, but maybe I've been bamboozled.
Cringe isnt a word I use often but having seen these types of people so many times, I cant think of a better word.
Stupid also comes to mind
Which is why they're probably doing this to begin with. Not a fan of the idea personally as it does more harm than good.
Raw candid video of white person apologizing for being white while other non-black racial groups aren't required to:
Every race has that history.
White people just did it on a global scale.

No they aren't? Unless you're having a bit of trouble reading or I missed some posts, cause zero posters agree with the methods here. Since it's obviously very alt-right anyway lol.
People here are saying that it'd be great if actual black people populated that subreddit since it's literally just a bunch of white kids saying the n word or pretending to be black complete with 'my fellow blacks' type of shit. Or if dumbasses stopped doing that shit. And I agree with that too. But this isn't the way to do it since it's a false flag.
Fair enough. I still think it's one over done April Fools trolling that's gonna go on for a bit until the mods over there decide enoughs enough. The 'beg forgiveness for being white' and the 'Yas King' is what set off my bs meter.
Edit: I do have to admit though, it certainly is making people salty even here on ERA. Pretty well played on that front.
I thought blackpeople twitter was a real thing and not just memes of black people saying funny things. I remember i watched a Daily Post segment about how BPT is used as a bit of a "barber shop" space to air your grievances and talk politics and issues in the black community
how has it become hijacked by 4channers now ？

I think part of that difference is semantics. What you're referring to is "black Twitter", which is just, uh, black people on Twitter, similarly to how you have "gay Twitter" and "author Twitter", etc. BlackPeopleTwitter is a subreddit that has a lot of digital blackface and a general air of laughing AT black Twitter, not with it.
Also not even going to touch the whataboutisms in the post that quoted mine a few posts back.
Actually, let me check out the mod that posted the announcement and what they moderate.
"What do you think of the police?"
"I love their first album"
*BAN*

"Who's your favorite President?"
"Obama...obviously...I'd have voted for him a third time if I could."
*GETS OUT*
So uh yeah this is definitely some sort of false flag "look at the SJWs!!!" thing, though I do maintain that safe spaces are not a bad thing, but this literally ain't it.
Are you a mod there?
I'm not hating, I just find this bizarre behavior coming from one of the top subreddits on Reddit's frontpage. If anything, the admins should crack down on this due to privacy issues with users being required to submit personal info to unpaid mods.
Verification is common on many subreddits if it's what i think it is. Just a simple photo of you and a piece of paper with your username or something like that.
No, I don't mod there but I've had interactions with a couple mods on that team and they are, from the impression I got, good people and def not alt-right. I don't think the admins would consider it a privacy thing as it's voluntary and they are not requiring any personal identifying information such as addresses, phone numbers, names, any of that stuff.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Inflammatory False Equivalence, history of Inflammatory Commentary
LMAO it's pretty easy to get "woke" people to support hard right ethnofascism, isn't it?
No wonder all the liberals go head over heels for Israel and Zionism.

Alright, if you say so.
I still think it's weird that they're cannibalizing their userbase, but that is their own decision to make. I'm sure an alternative subreddit will crop up soon.
Did you check out those subs? r/againsthatesubreddits is a good thing, r/Race_Realism/ they took over and turned it into something else and it's no longer a racist space, r/fragilewhitemods is a concept born from r/FragileWhiteRedditor/ which "is a subreddit for mocking reddit's large, vocal, and hypocritical fragile white population". They also mod https://www.reddit.com/r/SPLCenter/ which is the sub for the SPLC.
hey now not all of reddit is awful. simpsonsshitposting is quite wonderful.
Ah ok! Yeah I remember Race_Realism from before its turn and didn't realized that it had been reclaimed, that was the main thing that caught my attention. Thanks! I'll take the L on that then.
Huh. Now to wait for r/Indianpeoplefacebook to do the same ..
It def looks bad at first glance haha but what they did was hilarious and awesome
Well we all saw this coming, didn't we?
Subreddit /r/SubforWhitePeopleOnly is created in retaliation for /r/BlackPeopleTwitter requiring users to verify they are black in efforts to stop an insane amount of racism happening throughout the comments. The content on /r/SubforWhitePeopleOnly is what you would expect, obscenely racist
What the fuck, reddit.
