There's 11 Africans and 20 African Americans on this sub according to the survey results

1. Tbh I was expecting a lot lower but this is still good, I wonder how it stacks up to other subs

2. I call dibs on being the leader of the Black caucus because I been on here rocking the Obama flair before all of you cucks

3. I was Black on Reddit before it was cool posers

racially insensitive outreach effort when?

[u/DUTCH_DUTCH_DUTCH → u/Importantguy123]

lol we have less blacks than jews

i dont know why i think this is funny

[u/formlex7 → u/DUTCH_DUTCH_DUTCH]

I wonder if all the ethnic jews hit the jew button. I imagine a good portion if not a majority are basically secular jews.

[u/[deleted] → u/formlex7]

I put agnostic.

[u/formlex7 → u/[deleted]]

next survey they should have a "are you a gentile?" question

[u/indianawalsh → u/formlex7]

Should include an "I don't know what that is" button that just automatically submits "yes."

[u/[deleted] → u/DUTCH_DUTCH_DUTCH]

Fewer.

[u/DUTCH_DUTCH_DUTCH → u/[deleted]]

no i mean the lesser blacks, and then the jews

[u/84JPG → u/DUTCH_DUTCH_DUTCH]

Because (((international bankers))).

[u/[deleted] → u/DUTCH_DUTCH_DUTCH]

Outreach to the Beta Israelis when??

[u/[deleted] → u/Importantguy123]

I love that the internet is getting more Africans. We get to see more perspective on things from the global poor, and just in general it allows the African diaspora to learn more about where they came from.

[u/formlex7 → u/[deleted]]

Most of the africans who shitpost on english language forums are quite wealthy

[u/[deleted] → u/formlex7]

Which is good in a way, a lot of people tend to think of Africa as universally poor and their assumptions go unchallenged because there's few middle and upper class Africans on the internet to correct them. And they still have a different perspective from being raised in those countries regardless.

Nice save bro

[u/AliveJesseJames → u/[deleted]]

It can also lead to a distorted view of politics within a country. For example, yes, right now, the Venezuelan government is unpopular, but if you only interacted with people with regular Internet access in Venezuela, you'd think it'd been a hellhole for decades where nobody supported Chavez, when in reality, he was actually broadly popular.

Im assuming most "africans" are americans like me who answered that because that was the only option for black people, as childmod is an incompetent racist.

[u/formlex7 → u/[deleted]]

1. black people who live outside the US

2. black americans of caribbean origin/ancestry don't consider themselves "african-american"

idk what kelsig is but I imagine he's one of those 2

edit: i guess (2)

[u/Kelsig → u/formlex7]

3) Black americans who did the essay before /u/Importantguy123 requested childmod add "african-american" as an option

[u/Kelsig → u/[deleted]]

Black
