/r/BlackPeopleTwitter is open to everyone again Announcement Ir/BlackPeople Twitter is open to everyone again We recently made a change to our BPT that it would be for "black people only." While this was done as an April Fool's joke, there was a very real reason behind it more than just some laughs. Much like how Ir/games closed their sub due to the amount of toxicity in the gaming community, the moderators of BPT wanted to address the level of racism, casual and very very real, that was being shared every day on our sub It was shared loudly and clearly by the black members of this community that many felt uncomfortable by how black voices were often drowned out of discussion in this subreddit, faced with various arguments blaming victims / defending bigoted actions, or otherwise making them feel unwelcome. We wanted to bring to the forefront that this subreddit should never make people of color feel out of place here or that they do not belong and wanted to rebuild a sense of community. Especially when the rest of Reddit can be overwhelmingly toxic and racist, and when this site continues to host dozens of actual white supremacist communities, the latest of which being Ir/SubForWhitePeopleOnly Some pointed out that this was no better than any of the racial injustices faced by black people. For the first time in some of your lives you were denied something because of the color of your skin. You protested and alled for action following in the footsteps of the black leaders killed for doing so. Many felt like it was a crime to be white. This is how people of color feel every day of their lives. Our mothers and fathers constantly worry about our safety every day. The difference is that for us this is never a joke. We cannot turn off the screens of our blackness or unsubscribe from racism. Reddit won't keep you from life opportunities. Hopefully those of you who never understood finally have an understanding of what it was like for our grandparents and what it is still like today
