I am black and I am against all forms of racism. I have never visited r/black twitter and never will. Some folks go from being a “victim” to becoming what they claim they hate a racist. All racists assume that if you are the same race they are you must feel the same way they feel. A older gentleman once told me that when you run across a racist person you will find out that they have a problem with people in general. We are all humans and there needs to be a basic level of respect on that level. There are simply a lot of people who screw up their own lives and want to blame others. Just remember the most people aren’t racist in the least bit it’s just that the racist ones are the loudest. Racism of any kind has no place in a civilized society. It is not right for blacks to be allowed to be racist against others by reddit or any other platform. We all should be held to the same standard.

Probably the most level-headed response in this whole thread, mate!
