[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty surprised they banned all crime posts. DC is in the news for its extremely high murder rate and there are a lot of other systemic issues. I don’t buy the explanation that “we had to delete too many racist comments.” I think they were influenced by the people who believe that all discussion of crime is racist because it makes people think about crime. I’ve had run-ins with these types before. They try to exert social pressure to silence discussion about crime. [/quote] They -- and the more persistent commenters on that sub who complain whenever there's a crime post -- are coming at this from a position of *extreme* privilege. Because crime hasn't affected them personally, they don't think it's a problem and are completely baffled that people want to talk about it.[/quote]
