Fuck head supporters butt hurt over photo of black women graduating from West Point

And they call us snowflakes

A photo featuring dozens of black women who graduated from West Point this year has enraged a group of Trump supporters who say it’s part of a plot to eliminate white people.

In a thread over at /r/The_Donald, which is Reddit’s most popular forum for Trump supporters, one user posted the photo of the recent West Point graduates along with a title that read, “Diversity just means ‘less white people.'”

The women had been touted by both West Point and in media reports as part of the most diverse class in the military academy’s history, which further angered /r/The_Donald’s subscribers.

Other Trump supporters were quick to mock the women’s figures, as one claimed that “they look like they could barely run a block to a McDonalds” and another claimed that “the worst things in life are fat sassy black chicks in charge of white men in stressful situations.”


Fuck them all.

The Russians use of Reddit is ongoing and was not only overtly political. The so-called Reddit "manosphere" seems a particularly fertile ground for sowing divisions.

since applicants need recommendations from their congressperson

I love the mindset behind the belief there is a plot to eliminate white people. Sounds like projection since there's only one demographic in the US who has systematically tried to eliminate other groups of people in this country.
