part of a series on Anonymous

An internet phenomenon associated with 4chan’s /b/ imageboard (Anonymous) and a group of Second Life griefers called the “Patriotic Nigras”. On July 12th of every year raiders anonymously log onto Habbo Hotel, and using avatars of black men with large afros clad in suits, blockade the Hotel’s pool from entry while shouting “Pools closed” to users trying to enter.

Dave Davidson:


The Pool’s Closed Afro guy started because many of Habbo’s moderators were racist and needlessly banned black characters. Therefore, 4chan decided that a raid of black avatars in suits and ties that would block access to popular areas within the game would be adequate punishment.

This kind of mass action is commonly called a raid or /i/nvasion. Docs:

This is a DEFINITE meme.

However, the history needs to be explained a little better. The Pool’s Closed Afro guy started because many of Habbo’s moderators were racist and needlessly banned black characters. Therefore, 4chan decided that a raid of black avatars in suits and ties that would block access to popular areas within the game would be adequate punishment.

I do wonder what happened to those afro blockers. As far as I know, they haven’t blocked for a while.

If you watch the far-too-long AnthroCon video posted on the Furries meme page, two afro-blockers (white guys, actually) show up (maybe 1/4 of the way into the video) across the street from the convention center with a POOL’S CLOSED sign. This action is incorrectly interpreted (perhaps intentionally) as an anti-black protest. It’s actually an anti-furry protest, as their other sign reads YIFF IN HELL.

In all honesty, I’ve been hacking on habbo for over a year and even tho habbo is a waste of life and the habbo staff have lost their minds, I still play it. And as a habbo addict, I can tell you that the screen shot of the raid is a habbo retro, as in not the actual Habbo Hotel. I’ve never actually been a part of, or witnessed one of these raids so I wish someone had a REAL screen shot.

You might want to include the news story where KSAT 12 covered a prank done by someone, and completely misses the joke, turning it into serious business.
