It is long overdue to do the right thing. Im doing this for me, for my family, and for my country.
Im saying this as a father who needs to be able to answer his black daughter when she asks: What did you do?
I've resigned as a member of the reddit board, I have urged them to fill my seat with a black candidate, + I will use future gains on my Reddit stock to serve the black community, chiefly to curb racial hate, and Im starting with a pledge of $1M to @kaepernick7s @yourrightscamp

I am glad he resigned.

I think it is meant to be a thumb in the eye of patriarchy.

I think people's experiences must depend on their settings and the subreddits they choose to follow. For example, r/politics is entirely blue except for trolls. The dog subreddits are delightful and there are lots of subreddits where people go to ask for and receive emotional support. Great recipes too. It's almost entirely a positive experience for me.
