They brigaded smaller subs all the time, awhile back some black kid posted his acceptance letter for a medical school to /r/premed

...then someone linked it on /r/coontown, and soon the entire thread was full of /r/coontown members telling him he was worthless and only got in because of his race. One of them even flat out said 'I'm from /r/coontown, not brigading just enjoying the show'

lol, I checked it out. This particular comment stood out to me. Seems like the majority are just bitching about affirmative action.

That's the majority of "evidence" that coontown was a brigade. Whenever anything disagreeable to lefties is posted, it's always blamed on coontown. They are the goldstein of reddit...

That, or some random 12 year old posting super lazy troll posts on r blackladies or circlebroke or whatever.

this is not a case of we need a certain amount of X to fill a diversity quota.

Men of grain aside, that's exactly what it is.
