How to troll reddit:

  1. Find picture of black woman playing innocently with her child.
  2. Add fake horrible racist caption.
  3. There is no 3.

[–]Donald_Pietrowski 50 points51 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

3 would be posting it, or else 1 and 2 are meaningless.

[–]dakk12 12 points13 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

reposting it.

The picture would be from another post, and the caption was the top comment.

[–]vinfx 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I didn't even notice the caption until I read two posts here mentioning it so I had to go back to look for the caption to find it.

So anyway, before I saw the caption I thought this was a photo of a woman teaching a young child to dirty dance. Notice how her butt arches upward? The photo still looks highly inappropriate.

The fact that someone would be racist enough to troll this way.... is much much more wtf than anything. = /

[–]gc4life 47 points48 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is pretty mild racism. You should see all of the legitimate, temporarily acceptable racism that rises up every time a video of black people fighting is submitted. It's like Reddit's grandparents all log in and start commenting.

[–]MHiroko 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

yeah, I guess you're right. this is something a 14-yr-old could come up with. I guess its kind of silly, and much milder than the non-troll-actually-racist comments. =/ boo, racism!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

I agree. I'd create that eddit. But I eally can't justify the isk that would be involved in associating myself with a acist sub-eddit.

I agree that the image is a shitty troll, but please - where is the racism in this image? I see none.

[–]SVTBert 9 points10 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Indeed. Emulating/mocking a subculture is not racism.

If someone posted a picture of trashy white people and posted text emulating a redneck, no one would say it was racist. It's mocking a subculture, not a race. And if you (in the general sense) think this is racist, it's because you're associating those stereotypes to black people, and black people only. And guess what? That's fucking racist.

  1. ??????
  2. Profit

EDIT: TIL Reddit will automatically re-number your number lists. That's supposed to be step 3 and 4.

[–]superiority 6 points7 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

6. Figure out how to stop lines that start with a number followed by a full stop and a space being automatically renumbered to start from 1.

7. Post list on how to troll reddit in multiple comments.

[–]alphazero924 0 points1 point ago

I'm not sure how the caption is really racist. I don't know about you, but I've seen plenty of stupid people of all races type shit that terribly written.

[–]EyewitBass 48 points49 points ago

Reddit always assumes the worst. It looks like she could just be on the floor playing with her son. It does happen.

[–]ToasterWithAGun 13 points14 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You obviously did not read the text. Nonetheless, it's probably fake.

[–]calicocelot 45 points46 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah. That caption is almost definitely fake and is just some horribly crass trolling. Look at how the mother is bent over and how her fingers are on the ground; she is clearly pretending to be hiking an imaginary football to the kid. That's all.

[–]delonyer 1 point2 points ago

[–]sterling_mallory 25 points26 points ago

The picture is definitely WTF, but I'm kind of doubting that she wrote that caption.

[–]dwaxe 7 points8 points ago

I'm agreeing with you. I facetiously edited the text of the OP to point out how easy it is to edit text.

Ah, I see it now! lol irony, you're getting downvoted into oblivion because it is as difficult to detect at a glance as your comment intended to say. Have a couple of upvotes.

It's only wtf because of the moment it was taken.

[–]felstein 11 points12 points ago

Most likely fake and taken out of context for 'luls' and/or 'wtfs'.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Fake. The spelling in the caption is a pathetic attempt to mimic the idiosyncratic speech of a particular subculture. The weird spelling mocked so much by "educated" whites online is much like 1337sp34k, and its obfuscation falls into recognizable patterns. The caption there has a few misspellings but they don't follow the phonetic structure of an ebonic dialect and are in the wrong place.

It looks to me like a picture that was taken completely out of context and given a fake caption to promote somebody's racist agenda.

Its not racist. If you think this is racist then your racist. Saying its racist is saying that this could only represent one race. But sadly this is quite a believable post I wouldn't be surprised seeing on FB. A post that could just as easily be some ditzy drug addicted white girl as a black women. or any race. We all bread stupid people when we're not raised right.

No, he's saying that he took this post and just edited the title to make it look like it was for the picture rather than against it. The point is that editing text, especially on a website, is easy, so any caption you see could very easily be manufactured.
