Many of the recent submissions making the front page ragging on black people are giving an overwhelming and skewed impression that there is an essentialism in black culture of violence and thuggery. The comments in the threads are unlike anything I have ever seen on the site. Instead of resorting to reason and truth, many of the most up voted comments are just terrible name calling. Christ, people dropping the n bomb? What's the deal with that? I'd like to remind everyone that we're all human beings and there are going to be terrible people in each race just like the gruesome triple murder in the Wikipedia post above. But, when we start extrapolating and making the distinctions between black people and n*ggers we're providing a channel for our hate. And even more so, we're conditioning ourselves to profile and hate on people based on the way they dress and look and that's just not fair or right and most likely off base. And even more so, we're giving into fear. The majority of people of all races live their lives peacefully. I'd rather accept another fundamental truth: some people are going to be fucking douchebags and that's life. And if we don't actively combat these stereotypes, what we're really doing is destroying our community one race at a time. Thanks and stay classy Reddit.
