Should We Have Verified Black Badges?

[Goldie]

Got the idea from :

@Goldie we should have a black verification badge. ABW members send you or a mod a pic proving their blackness and with that get like a black checkmark next to their name. That's what BlackPeopleTwitter on Reddit does. Posting an article by the bitch that actually prosecuted 5 innocent kids is the whitest shit I've seen on this board all week. We need to start cleaning house round here. Just a suggestion.

Only for people that want it to be known that they are 100% Black. There's also verified only threads that only verified members can post in. Non verified members can still view the thread but they can't post. This was done so black people can have a space to speak on sensitive topics like police brutality, black politics, crime, and other subjects that racist white trolls can't fuck up the conversation.

This thread is a perfect example of how contrary white opinions are neither required or desired.

Lmao nah

Nah, you willingly allow others to be a part of the site so why stop them from contributing during discussions.

 

[Eartha Clit]

What I wanna say is too long to type. In short: This ain’t gonna do nothing but start some shit.

 

[Chi-Town B]

Man don't you have an other that's a mod so how will that work out

 

[TonyDubbz]

Have there been enough trolls derailing serious threads for this to happen ?

I honestly dont know but if its some shit thats only happened in a few instances then nah, just ban those people and keep it moving but if its grown to be a constant problem then I'd say go for it bruh

The more popular this website gets, the more racist white trolls this website will attract.

 

[Goldie]

Interesting points thus far

 

[deadeye]

Just call them out on their trolling and/or lock them out of threads if they don't fall back.

Well each and every non black person gotta get the boot, if we going down this road then it's full segregation

Don't know about that situation

I’ve used this argument but he is letting other races here. This is almost like charging that extra $20 for NONPOC that everyone claimed was foul.

 

[Sony Montana]

No

Gonna turn into a witch hunt and alienate even more members which leads to even less members

 

[TonyDubbz]

I feel like if its not a major issue at this moment then it shouldn't be implemented.

Should something like that go down when the site grows in numbers then maybe we can have a verified black section added at that point. One that only we could see and participate in.

At the end of the day @Goldie trying to get the numbers up and adding some shit like that might actually turn decent posters away.

Goldie doesnt even have a Native American option as a racial identitty on this site.

Racist

 

[BDBIID]

I don’t believe they should be barred from talking in threads and sections of the board. That’s excessive.


But a black badge would be aight if it’s just a badge & that’s it.


Cause some cats let nigga fly & it be feeling sus

This isn't about banning non black people from the site, it's about holding members accountable when suspect shit is said.
