Hey, here's an idea - how about an episode about how you just fucked up one of the most popular default subs by being fucking idiots?

I'm going to make an on comment post for a change up. Have you read this amazing Gary Younge piece on racism in the USA?

The Meundies user reddit reviews you read should be called Testemonials or Breastimonials respectively.

Polarizing topic. It sounds like this is more about reddit's racism than black culture but one thing that /u/mach-2 (i think it was him) talked about the examples of police brutality vs blacks but rarely does anyone talk about the hyper-tense situations that cops are put in everyday that lead to these explosive situations. Heck, the top post on reddit today is two cops in a routine theft arrest and a guy pulls a gun. Very tense, very charged situation.

I think this episode does a good job of showing the one side of the topic, which I'm assuming it was designed to do but at the same time I'd like to hear the other side. I believe This American Life might have covered it a while ago but i'd like to hear reddit's POV. I'm sure there are some cops on here that would contribute.

Thank you /u/kn0thing for letting these stories, and voices be heard. Seriously, it means a lot.

Good show. Even when reading (hearing) it for the x-th time, *Today you, tomorrow me* is still incredibly powerful.

BTW, have you guys considered lending mics to the people you do interviews with? That'd probably improve the sound quality quite a bit.

While I have immense gripes with today's problems, I'm sorry your subreddit is getting brigaded again.

Edit: grammar

ugh I'm already anticipating the backlash from this...but I myself think y'all did a great job. it just makes me sad that even hearing stories and information about injustice will never change some peoples' image of black people.

also, freedom of speech (on a website) does not mean you get to say super hateful shit. Make your own website if you want to "escape the brutal persecution" lol

edit: HAHAHA HOLY SHIT
