I never realized how racist and cancerous r/uncensorednews is. Just looked and they are horrible.

It wasn't always like that.

From what I recall, that sub was created to cover the Pulse night club shooting without having threads deleted. I wonder when it became a racist cesspool because I was subbed to it when it was created, and unshbbed recently because I went to check it out and there there was nothing but racist articles being posted.

Yeah, it’s not about getting better news, it’s about getting the news that your mom doesn’t want you to hear.
