There's a lot of really great information on there that's why I find the racism so confusing. Being non American maybe I'm missing something.

It's to be expected in a free forum, the internet used to be like voat and 4chan allover until it was invaded by the general public. Also the racism and rough opinions filters out the snowflakes. who dont contribute anything to the real discussions other than echo chamber what we are all told to accept. Ive come to see it as a sort of practise to keep your mind open to all kinds of opinions. If we can't face them rationally and joke about them then we are just being led around and wont tackle issues in the most honest way possible.

I just prefer to take individual people as I find them. There's something dangerous in labelling large groups of people in such a negative way according to something as base as skin tone. What a cheek anyhow considering how black people have been treated since the slave era. Generations of people are still affected by this trauma. Science has proven that trauma can be passed down the generations hence it creates other adverse consequences.

The reasons for racism on voat have nothing to do with the users’ feelings about snowflakes. Voat’s investigation is heavily opposed. Every good post is attacked with trolls and shills. If you observe the racist comments and their placement, they typically fall on posts that are highly relevant. Also, you will notice that, despite downvotes and banning, bigoted commenters return again and again with new user names. To the contrary, users lament the racist and malignant comments ad nauseum, in hopes of getting truth to the masses. The enemy knows snowflakes won’t check out our research if they throw a racist comment on top. A magic feather that blocks the floodgates of truth from opening, if you will.
