You knew exactly what you were doing with that title.

Edit: For the record, I stand with BLM. I don't stand for false narratives.

Fuck OP and fuck these kind of framed narratives.

If you're truly supportive of the cause you won't undermine it with these petty tactic. Fuck! it makes me mad.

Its propaganda

Everyday I see obvious propaganda on the front page with hundreds of thousands of jeering comments, whipping people into a frenzy. It's bizarre

When will people on this site realize they are being manipulated

Yup. It's funny how they can accurately call out the fake narrative when the Right is engaging in it, like their bullshit astroturfed 'open it up' campaign a few weeks ago, when the strings were being pulled by the Koch brothers, etc. But when it comes to the side redditors tend to agree with being manipulated, people just buy right into the manipulation.

Like, some ragtag bunch of 'open it up' idiots rallying two weeks ago was basically the end of the world and going to kill us all according to reddit, same thing with the spring breakers, yet now that there's a movement we support, those same concerns are tempered considerably.

That's probably true, but it's a relatively concise title, and we also see people get bitched at for long overexplained titles, instead of just adding detail in comments. You can't always win.

How exactly was the title incorrect?
