Complete censorship of a common type of news
Reddit, barely a week after purging the Donald Trump community and 2,000 other subreddits for racism or offensive content, will no longer allow “any content that shows POC [persons of color] as the aggressor.”
Human Events managing editor Ian Miles Cheong noticed the new policy going into effect late Tuesday night.
Reddit Racism
Oh, sweet irony — reverse racism is still racism, or at least that’s what I was taught.
“In case you think that post was fake or posted by a troll,” Cheong added, “it’s not.” Apparently the notice came from “the r/JusticeServed automoderator bot — so a moderator (or team) on the community’s staff put it up.”
The official announcement was “removed because all the replies were negative.”
Reddit Racism Cowards
So I guess it’s safe to conclude two things: Reddit users are much more sensible than management is, and Reddit management doesn’t even have the courage of their hypocrisy.
Some of the best responses from upset Reddit users:
“In your pursuit of anti-racism, you’ve managed to become racists yourselves.”
“Is this satire? It has got to be right? Literally big brother didn’t go to this extent.”
“We can tell our kids we remember a time when they started shutting down the truth.”
