Late last night Steve “u/spez” Huffman, CEO of Reddit, posted a letter on the reddit blog “Remember the Human – Black Lives Matter”. In this letter, Steve claims that his heart is heavy and “as Snoos, we do not tolerate hate, racism, and violence, and while we have work to do to fight these on our platform, our values are clear.”

Steve Huffman is also a liar.

Steve does not care about black lives and never has. In fact, Steve has spent his entire career at Reddit defending white nationalism and endorsing racism on this website.

Steve has passively stood by for well over a decade as white nationalists have built forums on this site and has only taken action once the media has got wind of it.

/r/N*****S was created in 2008 and all Reddit did was mark the subreddit as NSFW and let it grow to tens of thousands of members before it was banned FIVE YEARS later in 2013.

Of course, once /r/N*****S was banned, the same racists just made a new subreddit and started over again. A process they have done time after time growing bigger in every new instance. From /r/GreatApes, to /r/Coontown, to /r/WhiteRights, /r/GasTheKikes, /r/NationalSocialism, /r/AntiPozi, /r/Altright, /r/European, /r/CringeAnarchy, and more.

Users on the notorious white nationalist website Daily Stormer made a post in 2015 explaining that “Reddit is Fertile Ground for Recruitment”

This brings us to /r/The_Donald, a subreddit that has been widely reported as a hot bed for white nationalism and calls for violence. It took Steve Huffman years before they even quarantined the subreddit and the only reason it is now silent is because the moderators decided to move to a new website.

Finally, just two short years ago, Steve Huffman went on the record saying that racism and slurs are perfectly fine to post on Reddit.

Steve Huffman has made it clear that he does not care about protecting communities. Steve Huffman does not care about black people. Steve Huffman does not care about racism.

Steve is a failure as a CEO and should resign.
