not what the BPT sub is but okay


It's not all racial injustice, but from what I read, it definitely is presented as a safe space for black people to socialize and discuss a variety of topics from the black perspective

Edit: it appears I'm correct. from the very first sentence

It was meant to be a destination on the internet where black people could let down their guard.


Tbf, the article says that, but nowhere on BPT's page do they say that.

even with that, you dont see black people spamming these places crying about lack of inclusion

For anybody wondering, you can still visit and post on BPT even if you're not black.

However, there are certain (all things considered, relatively few) posts that attract a lot of racists for whatever reason. Once that starts happening and the conversation clearly starts getting overrun with racists, that's when they lock the topic down so that only verified people can post. It's basically a mechanic to stop certain posts from getting overrun by trolls.

That they are different is beside the point.

If you want to say insular groups are good and should exist, you promote the creation of such places.

Sad.

the humor I see in a subreddit requiring you to prove you're black before you can post on it overrides pretty much everything that follows for me

I laughed when some white supremacist forum (forgot the name) needed you to post a DNA test proving you're white or something too

Or we can have nuance and say insular groups have both positives and negatives and once focused on negativity are worse.

The forum, one of the many on Reddit, featured a feed of jokes and memes and commentary circulated on social media by black people, and comment threads where discussions could unfold. A post parodied the discomfort many white people seem to feel with the phrase black lives matter. Participants riffed on the rapper Kanye Wests suggestion that slavery had lasted too long to have been involuntary. Conversations about topics in the news and personal encounters with racial bias were interspersed with sometimes off-color humor about sex, romance and lifestyle advice.


Do these discussions not take place there? Seems like more than just a dumpling ground for funny tweets made by black people.

Or the usual suspects screaming "IT'S RACIST OT HAVE A BLACK ONLY FORUM!"

Both are hilariously wrong about what BPT is and I can't stop smiling

It's primarly as a dumping ground for tweets with black people in them or made by black people.
The problem is the mods are ineffective and don't bother actually punishing users.
This same thing is just like the joke they did last year but some idiot reporter took it as a real serious thing and is rolling with it.
Last year they demanded only black people post and prove it by rapping because "only black people can rap good"

So are you saying the moderators and users (many of whom black) who welcomed this change and were happy to provide verification dont really understand the purpose of the forum they participate in?

I believe brutal is saying bpt just started as a place for anyone (white, black, indian, asian, latino) to dump an image of a tweet made by or containing a black person in it.

But you seem to believe it was started as an exclusive club for black people to have serious discussion or feel safe giving an opinion.

Is that right brutal?

I'm just going with the article, but hes presenting himself as some inside source who knows what its REALLY about, so I'm asking some questions about it.

How exactly?

The second biggest country on 4chan is Mexico, the owner of the site is a Japanese man, meet ups tend to be pretty diverse groups (even the /pol/ ones) and any real events tend to show a pretty diverse groups (look at any of the trolling events like the flag game)

Unless you want to call William Shatner racist for baneposting on /tv/ or something.

My favourite things is to show the screenshots to the people who say "what if there was a white people only sub?". Not one POC cared about the white people only sub that opened but it immediately go shut down when it became a gathering place for racist images like lynchings, hate group symbols, etc.

when it became a gathering place for racist images like lynchings, hate group symbols, etc.

Which was instantaneous. I remember checking them all out back in April and apparently the answer to what if we made a white only sub is we will fill it with some of the most racist shit imaginable and prove exactly why the Country Clubs were created.

It wasn't even up an hour before it went 100% racist enough to make Stormfront blush. I remember people who had angry rants saying they were going to the white sub since they weren't wanted here then they came back apologetic.

The blunt truth is if it only takes one small action to make you into a vile, screaming racist, you are already a racist.
