Shit like this really does hurt and make Black comrades feel alienated. It’s pretty clear that he’s appropriating AAVE to be “ironic” because of course an educated rich white male wouldn’t normally talk so “funny.” Pisses me off that these are the people we’re supposed to see as leaders tbh.

      I downvoted because I'm pretty sure this guy is a cumtown.org poster trying to troll or whatever. There's an account by his name on that site.

          It makes it dumb to lay what will says at the feet of the website. "Y'all approve of this?" No. We don't approve of what chapo hosts post before they do it. We don't even approve of their content. A lot of us don't even listen to it regularly or at all. So what's the point of the accusation that we all somehow tacitly approve of what chapos do? What are we supposed to do? Go yell at them on twitter?

            I think it's dumb too, I don't listen to the podcast either and Will and the gang acting like this is a part of that. But people throwing downvotes on this post doesn't read that way, especially given how this site handles conversations like this. And if you and OP both dislike or approve of Will/the pod why downvote? Seems like you agree with this and would also mock anyone who looks up to these fools

              I didn't downvote the OP's thread. I downvoted a single reply made to me because it was weaksauce b8. If you google their name, they posted in a thread on cumtown.org about raiding subreddits.

              ??? I didn't didn't downvote the thread of a blatant troll so I am okay with internet blackface? Please don't make wild accusations or jumps like that. I advocated both getting rid of the downvote and removing it from view. Don't project your outrage onto me.

                Lol maybe if you were clear about downvoting a comment in the thread when replying to me about people downvoting the thread we'd avoid some of this, my bad.

                I never said you were okay with blackface and I have 0 idea how you got there lol but who cares, user has been banned. Have a good day

            It’s called criticism and it’s a huge part of Marxism?? This kind of apathy is why this movement isn’t making ground the way it has to

              What are you criticizing? We don't sit down with Will Meneker and go over his posting strategies. You're not criticizing Will, you're asking us if we approve of this. No we don't. We have nothing to do with chapo trap house other than some dork naming a subreddit after the show years ago.

        it's putting banned next to your name but I can't find anything about it in the modlog. UI bug? something else?

          Are you looking at the modlog for a specific community? Not all modlogs are created equal. Compare these:

              I used a random username generator to pick this name, but it's just so perfect, right!?

            ah yeah now I see it on the first one, with "cumtowner" as the reason. thank you

            @ScreamoBMO I don't have an account there, but I was just now able to verify that "subsaharancum" existed by trying to register the name... maybe that's too much benefit of the doubt to extend, but wanted to note it.

            UPDATE: also there are 4 results on google for "site:cumtown.org subsaharancum" and they're incriminating, guy_ may have known from that method as well, and it's much easier
