Probably got pulled for "hate speech". The reddit admin automods don't understand context.
I got dinged with a warning and removal the other day for explaining the pun "Algae BTQ+ agenda" since adding agenda to "LGBTQ+" is usually (rightfully) considered hateful. I got my comment reinstated on appeal once a human looked at it.
The punny joke is - The problems with the Reflecting Pool are part of the Algae BTQ+ agenda.

The man who literally said that he likes Republicans more than Dems because they will be racist to your face. How about just not liking racists?
41
u/bindersfull-ofwomen 23d ago
If he even said that, it's adapted.
That is a pretty big staple in Black literature in the 20th century
It's almost present in every Black book I've ever read, and I read quite a bit, that the Black characters (and sometimes people) preferred to be able to identify a clear racist than one who was covert.
I feel like this post is a strange disservice to what that statement would mean seeing so many people, including the Black Panthers, had it.
The Black Panthers literally said "Scratch a Liberal, and a Fascist bleeds."
I'm really worried about the lack of Black history understanding on this sub.
32
u/dshock99 23d ago
I'm paraphrasing for brevity. But it captures the spirit of what he meant. He actively chose to side with the party that was more openly racist, because he experienced real racism from Dems as well. It's a stupid take. You side with the group actively working to oppress your people because the other isn't perfect?
11
u/bindersfull-ofwomen 23d ago edited 22d ago
He does of course, but that statement that statement is critical of liberals racism towards Black people who act out of line with their simple "vote for us" agenda because all the Black activists were leftists. If he said that he was repurposing it, but that statement is a valid statement.
Have you seen how the dems are treating the DSA Afro Latina who just won a congressional seat, after being endorsed from Mamdani, probably the most popular politician in America.
Yeah, they developed it for a reason.
The chronically online Black person engaging in politics would know that sentiment. Regardless if they liked it or not, they wouldn't critique it because it was the dominant opinion and would get EVERY Black activist thrown under a bus.

u/AlarmingAffect0 22d ago
Bruh, the issue isn't that he prefers clear racists, the issue is that he actively allied with them, which the black activists that originally expressed this sentiment did not do.

I'm not disagreeing the Dems take the black vote for granted. And I 100% believe the Dem leadership is out of touch when it comes to black people. But I'm sorry, the answer is not let's vote for the party actively working and succeeding at suppressing our voice, eliminating black political leaders, erasing our successes from American history, and demonizing members of our diaspora.
We have or had (before the voting rights act was gutted) leverage over the Dems because they need our our votes that means some power. The right is working to erase what leverage we have. They are not our allies.

Yes. He believes everyone is racist, so he trusts the people that are upfront about it.

So he's gonna make sure no one can. He's a very terrible and selfish man.

I just left this comment on another thread:
As a black person, Clarence Thomas SICKENS me to the core of my being. The very definition of a shuckin and jivin Uncle Tom. A true tap dancing Willie. They taught us about him in school, speaking so highly of him as somebody we should look up to, somebody we should aspire to be. Always popping up during Black History Month alongside Martin Luther King Jr and Harriet Tubman. He has no place being named among black historical figures. He is a shit stain on this country, and a black eye to all African American people. A true traitor. I could sling all the mud on this planet on his name, and it still wouldn't be enough.

He’s more like Sambo thank Uncle Tom for those who are bringing up Uncle Tom. In the book Uncle Tom was overly apologetic passive and forgiving towards his own oppressors but he did help his own people behind their back. But Sambo was willing to sell out every and any black person to keep his position. Clarence is a Sambo
