Denouncing Hate No Matter Where It Comes From

Hate has no place in any community, no matter who it comes from or who it targets. Race is a social construct. It was engineered as a tool to divide the working class and keep people fighting each other instead of the systems that exploit all of us. Our strength has always been in our differences. Our power has always come from solidarity, not separation.

I was raised in a multicultural household where race, ethnicity, and culture were not competing identities. They were woven together in a way that felt natural and whole. Advocacy was not an afterthought. It was a pillar. I was taught early to stand up for anyone who was treated differently because of their race. That pillar still stands today.

Which is why what is happening inside a community on reddit. It is not just disappointing. It is dangerous. A space that claims to uplift Black voices has become a space that silences them.

A space that claims to fight racism has become a space that encourages it. A space that claims to be a home for Black advocacy has become a hate sub wearing Blackface.

Thirty days ago, the top moderator of the subreddit purged the entire history of the community. Years of posts. Years of shared experiences. Years of cultural memory. Gone. Erased. Deleted. Then, they celebrated 125,000 members as if they built the space they had just wiped clean.

That is not stewardship. That is theft. Theft of labor. Theft of legacy. Theft of the people who came before them.

But the purge was only the first red flag.

The Architecture of Hypocrisy

What follows is a detailed account of what can only be described as an active effort to implode a space meant for Black advocacy. Not by outside trolls, but by the very people claiming to protect it. It is a pattern of silencing actual Black voices, suppressing lived experiences, and replacing reality with a sanitized picture where only certain kinds of Blackness are allowed to exist.

Hate has no place on Reddit. Not from white people. Not from Black people. Not from anyone. Being Black does not give you the right to encourage racism toward others. It does not make bigotry acceptable. It does not transform hate into truth. It only perpetuates the same cycles we claim to be fighting.

Below is the evidence.

1. Racialized Humor Is Allowed and Celebrated

A thread titled “Walking past white people be like” received thousands of upvotes and hundreds of comments. It is built entirely on racialized caricature.

• Proof: View the thread here

• This is fine. This is celebrated. This is “community.” But when I shared a lived Black experience involving ICE harassment, I was accused of bigotry and my ability to participate was restricted.

2. Exclusion Is Allowed and Celebrated

A full thread titled “Why are white people in our Reddit community” received hundreds of upvotes and comments. It operates as a public referendum on who is allowed to exist in the room.

• Proof: View the thread here

• This is fine. This is celebrated. This is encouraged. But calling out racism that happened to me is not.

3. Racial Slurs and Dehumanizing Language Are Allowed

Direct quotes from the sub’s current landscape:

• “Cracker.”

• “The devil is a white man in a suit.”

• “All white folks view Black people as their enemies.”

• “A truly demonic group of people.”

These remain untouched. These are framed as truth. These are framed as lived experience. But my lived experience is labeled bigotry.

4. Moderators Encourage Racial Gatekeeping

A moderator openly wrote: “The ones who come here to proclaim their whiteness usually are the biggest trolls.” This is not moderation. This is profiling. Allowed. Upvoted. Celebrated.

5. Moderators Respond With Hostility, Not Standards

When a user rightfully criticized moderator behavior, the moderator replied: “We heard you the first time. Thanks.” Professionalism is absent. Consistency is absent. Transparency is absent.

6. Their Public Philosophy vs. Private Enforcement

Their own post states: “Racism is not politics. Equality is not politics. It is basic human decency.” But when I called out racism that happened to me, they said it was bigotry. Their public philosophy and their private enforcement do not match. Their messaging is performance. Their moderation is punishment.

7. The Purge and the Celebration

They wiped the sub’s entire archive, then celebrated 125,000 members as if they built the sub they erased. This is not community building. This is brand management. This is a hostile takeover wearing a smile.

8. My Lived Experience Was Treated as a Threat

I shared a lived Black experience. I talked about racism that actually happened. I talked about harm that was real. I talked about something that should matter in a space that claims to uplift Black voices.

I was told it was bigotry. My post was removed. My ability to participate was restricted.

Meanwhile, threads mocking white people, excluding white people, and celebrating racialized insults remain untouched. This is not protection. This is control.

The Invitation

If your core principles align with mine, then seek us out. Find us on Reddit. Find us here in the comments. Find us on TikTok. Find us anywhere people are trying to build something real.

I have seen infighting used as a tool to destabilize solidarity in many political spaces. Everyone has an idea, but not everyone is willing to listen. Infighting is the straw that breaks the camel. It is the quiet killer of every movement that ever tried to change anything. It is our responsibility to point it out wherever it shows up. Online. Offline. At work. In our communities. In our places of worship. Anywhere division is used to weaken the collective.

Our strength is our unity, not our ability to alienate and put up walls. If you believe in solidarity, if you believe in standing up for people who are targeted, if you believe in calling out hate no matter who it comes from, then you are welcome. You belong in this conversation. You belong in this work. You belong in this community.

We build forward together, or we do not build at all.

My Line in the Sand

Anyone that follows me, or is a part of the many communities I have created for solidarity: if you find yourselves in alignment with hate of any kind, find the fucking exit.

These spaces are not for you. Come as you were, as you are, everyone is accepted. Solidarity matters, and above all, in order to change the tides of history and create true fundamental change, we must denounce the outliers and deceivers. How dare they say my Black lived experience is invalid and bigotry. Fuck that noise, I’m out.

My line is cut in stone. Follow the spaces I build and you stand against every flavor of hate. Or find the exit. These rooms are closed to deceivers.

We build forward together. Or we do not build at all.
