As one of the forumвЂ™s moderators recalled, the thought was that the white users who held sway in nearly all of RedditвЂ™s 157,100 other communities, known as subreddits, would see no need to dominate this one. Given that the vast majority of Reddit users are white, no one seemed to be under the illusion that only black people would weigh in.

'Where's that damn monkey?' the poodle says. The leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, 'Here, monkey, hop on my back so you can watch me chew that poodle to bits!' Now, the poodle sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, 'What am I going to do now?' but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and waits until they get just close enough to hear. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard.
