Group of black teens attacks a guy. Minor injuries. What's the reddit thread filled with?

"carry a gun" "cops on every corner" "animals"

what gets downvoted? me mentioning generational poverty.

death to the whites.

Edit: came back, didn't think this would blow up the way it did, but it has been hilarious how many bad takes are from people with an @ in their username. This hilarity is why i love HexBear.

I think mayocide and self hating whiteness are a very small overall part of hexbear posting. it’s inevitable to see more of it in a thread like this when people from across the lemmyverse are gut reacting to some real tepid “death to white people” shit posting and trying to report it like they’re on Reddit where the Admins will just coup any mod who doesn’t capitulate to their “rules based order”.

And the rudeness honestly has some real world utility here. We aren’t like and don’t aspire to be like Reddit where horrible evil can be defended and advocated for as long as you strike the right respectful tone, and if we can sus out and turn away people who value tone above material reality that’s useful. It isn’t the conscious reason for the way we are but it does play a small role.

I dont try to silence anyone for that reason but I do bring the sentiment up just for ones own awareness up.
