I wonder how long Reddit will survive with reposts

The US is as fundamentally white supremacist today as it was way back then

Segregation; lynchings; slavery; these are all things that were systematically outlawed and struck down in our society today. To say that white supremacy is just as bad as it was in 1960 is an utterly blind take and completely ignores what we've accomplished today. It's still a problem today, yes. But if what we're complaining about is a spray-tanned muppet who is now being legally shredded apart, I think we've come a long way.

Stating purely that over half of white people voting for the clown is also ignoring the other half who did not- or the intentions of the half who did vote for him. I highly doubt that a majority of the half who did vote for him were crossing their fingers for the next racial uprising.

Probably would've happened more if the majority of sub mods actually had a bone in their body. Plenty of them threw in the towel when the staff threatened to take their mod status away

It was a good band-aid for the time because racism was a massive problem back then, though, I sincerely doubt it's needed today. I'm not saying racism isn't a problem today, but the idea that universities must be regulated for them to accept non-white applications ignores the strides we've taken as a society. We don't need the band-aid anymore.

I wonder what the true active user drop-off will be after this

Annoying telemarketers will always be ethical

Racism is now the law.

So we need laws to not be racist? This is an insanely pessimistic take that nothing has improved the issue of racism in the US.

A lot of games haven't been released on disks anymore, it's a real shame really.

I understand that games have gotten bigger, but they could always ship with a really cheap'O USB stick for the people who really want a true physical copy.
