Yeah, but it's literally just one person that I don't wanna see it so it's easier to just go custom and exclude her.

Also my boss friended me FB and while she isn't dumb, it means that sharing stuff like "The Right to be Lazy" or the Gervais Principle is a, mite complex now. Nyeh. Though they treated people harassing our work FB page about my posting about the Dallas shooting pretty well, i.e. just hiding it after telling them that the company ain't responsible for workers posts.

I just blocked everyone at work on Facebook so none of them can find me. Part of it is that the CFO/co-owner is crazy and loves to snoop on social media and eavesdrop on conversations, and I have no interest in her trying to "investigate" me and my work ethic based on Facebook posts.

Isn't there a cliché that black people don't tip well?

As for the Morgan Freeman thing, I saw your post about it but the quote still has been popping up a helluva lot on imgur recently. It's a pretty dumb quote in general tbh. Yeah sure lets just stop talking about systemic racism and ignore it. I bet that'll make it go away.

Imgur pretty much only upvotes the words of black people if they are talking poo poo about other blacks or reaffirming white people's opinions. (Black History month is bad! Police are good, it's the blacks that won't stop breaking laws! Affirmative action is bad! As a black person, I hate rap!! Ha ha, here's a 200+ image gallery of Black Twitter, which is all (allegedly) black people reaffirming/joking about racist stereotypes! It's okay when a black person does it!)

Wow, interesting, I legit didn't know the forums existed.This dude wrote a great essay here, and he's also an account I've seen a LOT recently calling out racist posts on the site. I'm glad he's still at it, yelling at fuckers. Lately I've seen a lot more "We're not standing for this racist bullshit" comments in general, and yet more and more racist images have been getting through to the front page. But the excuse of "It's just brigading" rings hollow when nobody makes any efforts to stop the brigading, if that actually IS true.

Where all these discussions always lead is that people will suddenly turn and point at Obama: "He started this! There was no racism before Obama started whipping up race-war fever! Now look what he's done to us!"

That's their cover: See, we're not racist, we hate racism, we liked it just fine when we were all one big happy colorblind family before Obama came along and ruined everything, that dirty n——

I'd think that up until he says "stop mentioning race/racism".
And it kind of ignores why BHM began so I can't let him off with that either.

There is. I'm assuming the commenter is making a joke about waiters/waitresses assuming that, serving poorly, and still expecting a tip.
Then again, this is imgur so...

I like to imagine that when you press "hide bad replies" the imgur servers just sort of wheeze and sputter for a few minutes and then refresh your browser with a message saying "replies hidden" and then just show you a blank screen

I stopped going to Imgur as often after someone posted about how Imgur stopped him from going to jail for rape. See, his ex-girlfriend called the cops to say he had raped her at a very specific time, so when the cops showed up he showed them on his phone how he had been browsing Imgur at the very time and couldn't have raped her; their response was "Would you like to press false rape charges?" and the entire community exploded into congratulations and anger at false rape accusers.

It's great when you read the topic and the mods are like "Well why don't you guys solve the racism problem! We don't know how!" And people are legit saying they're afraid if people start banning racism then black people will rule imgur with their scary black people comedy.

If they crack down on racism and sexism on imgur, the mods and owners will be called fascists and there will be a competing anything-goes image board up within a week. The NSFW rules on imgur almost caused a mutiny like that. That's why imgur wants to keep its lovely "community".

they changed the NSFW rules at some point? Or was that at the same time all those illegal subreddits were going down?
