The near 300 plus upvotes, also the comments under the comment you linked are dogshit culturalist nonsense
That is seriously the problem. All black American idols are just capitalist scum, and consumer fetishism runs rampant in all poor communities, but particularly black ones. People like Killer Mike and JayZ are hailed as heroes for buying properties in their hoods just to charge exorbitant rent, further gentrifying their own community. Jayz literally rapped about doing just that and people love it.
Rappers run black communities and black people are the most consumer obsessed demographic in America; stunning analysis, total mirror to reality and not the most white-brained reductive Bill Maher level take
We’re five years out from the 2020 rebellions and “leftists” are still spitting out these condescending takes, incredible
What can we discern from that absent the original post?
Why are we “absenting” the original post? 300 dipshits on a leftist sub upvoted a nasty post about black people, we’re not dealing with rocket science here and it certainly doesn’t require excuses
More importantly though, you are taking a minority of the comments in the thread, with 1/10th of the number of upvotes as the top comment
Yeah just a dozen highly upvoted comments in a leftist sub claiming the reason Black people aren’t radical or revolutionary is because of their consumer spending habits and too much “middle class” hip hop culture, no biggie, just normal things leftists assert for totally normal reasons
and it’s going to experience stray idiots wandering in & saying dumb shit from time to time.
Good thing I didn’t post about a random stray comment but instead a thread with hundreds of upvotes
And yes it’s awesome plenty of folks saw thru the bullshit and responded appropriately, but it didn’t stop the post from blowing up and a dozen comments about bad hip hop influence springing out of the ground, hence the title “r/Deprogram having a normal one” raise your standards
Come on, you don’t see that tier of racist crap everywhere. The mods are free to actually remove the comments. I appreciate that it’s never gonna be as good as Hexbear where we have a lot more control over site culture, but if your subreddit has hundreds of people hanging around that are happy with upvoting comments that are saying that Black people are sheep that follow rappers like drones you’ve done something wrong.
They’re also bad when it comes to the usage of a certain ableist slur. Reporting it to the mods does nothing, and you’ll just get downvoted to hell if you try to call them out on it.
