Its funny how his opinion changed after getting no upvotes in /r/WTF

[–]Confucius_says 67 points68 points ago

obviously people of reddit are willing to whore their opinions for karma.

[–]AscentofDissent 71 points72 points ago

That is not true, I regularly speak out against Christians while rescuing kittens from the dumpster behind EA's corporate office.

[–]Willmcdougal 24 points25 points ago

I tried to rescue kittens from Valve's dumpster, but I couldn't because Gaben already rescued all of them.

[–]taniquetil 18 points19 points ago

Here's my kitten that I stole at gunpoint from my neighbor rescued! And here he is eating the bacon that I bought from the store got as a present from my liberal atheist pot-smoking gamer autistic girlfriend.

[–]heptakaideka 2 points3 points ago

I typically make regular comments like everyone else but sometimes I make comments that point out the hivemindedness of the kind of comments I typically make.

[–]LeSpatula 1 point2 points ago

Speaking out against Christians won't give you any karma. Speaking out against atheists does. Don't forget to mention that you're an atheist yourself.

[–]OJ_Mayo 2 points3 points ago

It was probably just another experiment.

[–]dmilller 146 points147 points ago

[–]astrologue 24 points25 points ago

And that's how some racist guy eventually gamed Reddit into voting a racist comic onto the front page of the site.

It's silly as fuck, but a post like this would never have reached the front page if that wasn't the title.

[–]jxrst9 28 points29 points ago

I think it did the last time it was posted under a different title.

[–]Motherfrogger 33 points34 points ago

nope, it was down voted on most occasions

Edit: it seems I have uncovered a karma whore

[–]wedtm 8 points9 points ago

Did anyone else notice he posted it to /r/wtf at the same time with a completely different feeling to the title?

[–]Motherfrogger 6 points7 points ago

Guys, I don't think he's really black

[–]pew43 7 points8 points ago

He wouldn't just lie. Why would he do that? No, it makes no sense.

[–]fearachieved 2 points3 points ago

I'd actually like to launch an investigation into whether or not OP is actually black.

Pending the results, we need to pitchfork up and downvote this racist shit...

If he is really black it is ok though, obviously hehe lol sarcasm

[–]Lukkie 31 points32 points ago

I'm not racist, one of my best friends is black!

Ding ding ding ding! You would be right!

just in case, the image link in OP's post is: here. And yes, they're giving the camera the finger. It's not me.

So not only is OP a racist shithead, they're a lying racist shithead! Hooray, reddit!

How to get a racist post on the front page:

  1. "As a black male, "
  2. Unbridled racism

[–]0bsesshun 216 points217 points ago

Also a black guy here. I find this just as funny because I get looked at like this by some white people haha. I don't even rap and like my clothes to fit me, quite frankly.

[–]drfrydaddy 160 points161 points ago

Golly gosh gee - that's surprising! Who would of thought some ass wipe would claim to be black and post some racist shit just to get the response that he got from the Reddit community?

[–]gamegyro56 26 points27 points ago

What did he say? It's gone now. I assume he said he isn't black, but what else did he say?

[–]The_Bravinator 71 points72 points ago

There was a picture of OP, which I'm assuming was what got it deleted, as well as a link to a post in which he said he was Jewish and a picture he posted in a thread about guitars where he was giving the camera the finger--and it was a very white hand.

[–]Random_Fandom 82 points83 points ago

There was a picture of OP, which I'm assuming was what got it deleted

It was his photo. His facebook account was also discovered (the post that referenced it is now gone). He should consider himself lucky that the people who saw and/or saved his photo that was posted here aren't devious.

He should also remember this the next time he thinks it's a cool idea to ridicule a group of people online, while lying and saying he's a member of that group.

I don't know what the hell he was thinking, but Reddit isn't exactly the best place to turn into one's personal playground.

[–]Zombies_hate_ninjas 41 points42 points ago

Chasing racist trolls like this from reddit is what heroes do. Thank you good sir. I will now check your page and up vote every damn thing you've posted!

[–]charliedayman 9 points10 points ago

Reddit doesn't count those upvotes. I forget where I saw it, but you're wasting your time unless you go to the threads those comments/submissions appear in.

You are going to have to provide proof that you are indeed black, if you don't then I assume you are not black and you are raciest.

[–]aidaman 4 points5 points ago

[–]NeonNazgul 16 points17 points ago

Wow. Just wow. I knew that Reddit was getting a reputation for being increasingly sexist and racist but I never thought I'd see the day that this shit could get to the front page.

[–]Limitedcomments 6 points7 points ago

The only reason this is on the front page is because OP worded his title so white people could upvote it without feeling guilty.

[–]120hraef 134 points135 points ago

The thing that's funny about this isn't the racist subject matter, it's the structure of the joke - the unexpected punch-line (also the absurdity of the situation: a person who cannot read trying to read a book; the simplicity of the book; the funny looking artwork).

The stereotypes only adds to the humor by virtue of how dumb and inappropriate they are.

Unless you're a racist, as many of the people commenting here appear to be.

[–]Edgar4llanPwn 20 points21 points ago

OP's subterfuge also adds comedic value. We can laugh at this without feeling racist because we're led to believe that OP is essentially making fun of himself. In actuality, OP is almost certainly a basement dwelling neckbeard with pasty white skin that hasn't seen the light of day in nearly a fortnight. Aye! There's the rub!

[–]dalsgaard 4 points5 points ago

Dissecting a joke, is like trying to poke a stick with a shit.

[–]Jaekman 30 points31 points ago

Everyone in this thread:

"I'm not racist, I just like racist things"

[–]sydiot 16 points17 points ago

and then:

"It isn't funny because it's racist, it's because of the structure of the joke! Logic!"

[–]nawoanor 3 points4 points ago

Let's all agree to find something that can't possibly offend anyone and all make jokes about that. I vote for linoleum.

[–]iamnotfromtexas90 11 points12 points ago

it's not racist because the white kid who posted it said he was black.

[–]AculticFly 4 points5 points ago

Damn it. This has been on the front page 3 times in the past month.

[–]Svesinieks 3 points4 points ago

Does being black also provide you repost immunity?

[–]SeaBrass 4 points5 points ago

Brilliant! You found a way to post this outside of r/4chan without getting downvoted to oblivion.

[–]burritosmane 25 points26 points ago

i have seen this exact same goddamn picture AT LEAST 4 times within the past two weeks. stopit.

[–]sydiot 19 points20 points ago

You guys should be ashamed of yourselves, seriously. This is the second time in a week someone claiming to be black uploaded this tired racist macro and you idiots continue to upvote it. Way to suck ass, reddit.

[–]TrolleyPower 25 points26 points ago

As a black male I don't find this funny.

In fact I find this offensive.

[–]NeonNazgul 8 points9 points ago

Upvotes for you sir. I'm extremely broad minded when it comes to pretty much anything, but I fail to see one iota of humour here. The fact that it reached the front page speaks very ill of the overall climate of Reddit as a whole.

[–]AlexthePwner 4 points5 points ago

Hate to be that guy, but this picture is pretty old bro.

[–]nondescriptuser 13 points14 points ago

I'm really happy you're not stuck in the gravity well of poverty and social oppression that burdens so many black americans, and im even happier you managed to take away the right lesson: To whip around and be insensitive to the plight of people in worse circumstances than yourself.

[–]drfrydaddy 7 points8 points ago

And that's exactly why this stupid ass comic is terrible - because the fact is, white people use welfare more than black people. Not only do we have folks being explicitly racist asses. But now we have other folks defending the "victimized" black man who is oppressed and in poverty. All of this is just bullshit - and sad.

[–]MisterMaggot 5 points6 points ago

Did you find it funny before you were a black male?

[–]SnifflyWhale 14 points15 points ago

Why is this racist shit at the very top of the front page?

[–]puteria 7 points8 points ago

No don't worry, it's not racist because a black guy said it's okay.

That means we all get to laugh and not be racist!

[–]SnifflyWhale 5 points6 points ago

[–]puteria 4 points5 points ago

Well...shit.

[–]billyzero 5 points6 points ago

I like the fact that this gets reposted evey two days but it needed to be posted by a black guy to get to the front page.

[–]AkimboGogurts 5 points6 points ago

Alright everybody, its ok to laugh at this now. The black guy reposted it and said its ok.
