This racially motivated murder with a knife was a few weeks ago, but you won’t have heard of it because it wasn’t a white man who got killed.

Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death. Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early ’70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. Record companies found Death’s music— and band name—too intimidating, and the group were never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (hell…the first punk band!), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers.

Reddit Refusing To Remove Popular Subpages That Promote Harmful Behavior 

I’m writing in an attempt to bring awareness to a current petition going on trying to enforce Reddit to actually act on their own User Agreement and remove all their pages (subreddits) that do not follow these guidelines. 

“You agree not to use any obscene, indecent or offensive language… [material must not be] defamatory, abusive, bullying, harassing, racist, hateful, or violent….further agree not to use any sexually suggestive language…” - taken from Reddits User Agreement

Unfortunately right now Reddit is ignoring their own rules and letting pages like the following exist with little to absolutely no moderation:

r/HotRapeStories

r/KillingWomen

r/SexyAbortions

r/RapingRetards

r/beatingwomen

r/BeatingFaggots

r/beatingtrannies

r/ChokeABitch

r/NecroPorn

r/BeatingCripples

r/BeatingNiggers

r/Nazi

/r/RapingWomen

These all exist on Reddit~ one of the most popular social networking sites that has had 34 MILLION UNIQUE VISITORS. Reddit gets around 1.8 billion page views every month. These subreddits are not that unknown either. If you go through the top subreddits on Reddit you will find almost every single one of these within the first 10-20 pages. This is simply something that everyone that uses Reddit, including their own moderating team, turn a blind eye too. 

Recently one of the most popular subreddits on Reddit “creepshots” that was dedicated to users taking suggestive pictures of woman without their consent and putting it online without their knowledge was taken down. Users of this subreddit were known for posting pictures of underage girls, a teacher was even fired from taking pictures of his students and posting it on creepshots. This subreddit was deleted by the creator of creepshots because someone was blackmailing him and threatening to expose his identity. It was not taken down by Redditors moderators even after all the media backlash and arrests made that have come from Creepshots.

Related reading on the awfulness that existed in creepshots that was allowed to be there by Reddit if you are not convinced by my words alone:

• Man drugs rapes sister in law and posts pictures of her on creepshots
• Teacher posts pictures of students on creepshots
• Example of an average underage girls photo posted on creepshots

Obviously, a lot of bad came from creepshots. Was this all really worth leaving it up for? Can we now learn from creepshots that getting like minded people talking about taking advantage of/raping/and even murdering is only going to lead to worse actions and encouragement of individuals to do harm to others.

Medea Benjamin of Code Pink being “escorted” out as she bravely questioned President Obama on drone strikes in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Yemen as well as Guantanamo Bay. Full speech here.

Looks like our Nobel Peace Prize winning harbinger of hope and justice and what not couldn’t handle actual freedom of speech. In other news, grass is green.

“just try it, you might like it now!” is okay advice to give to people who are squeamish about eating a dish they tried once and disliked and shitty advice to give to someone about sex, especially if the follow-up has something to do with having sex with you.
