Guidelines

This site exists for people harmed by racism—not for those who practice it. Coverage should be serious, researched, and useful to communities living with prejudice.

Who this is for

Our primary audience is disaffected persons and victims of racism. Our commentary and curation focus on dignity, safety, and understanding—not platforming abuse or providing spectacle for trolls and those who have traditionally practiced harassment.

What belongs on the front page

• Plausible and researched. Claims should hold up under scrutiny. Viral is not enough.
• Not clickbait. Documented racism and discrimination deserve proper coverage, not outrage bait.
• Audience-serving. Prefer stories that inform, document, or equip people targeted by racism.
• Careful framing. Favor conduct, systems, institutions, and sourced findings. Avoid unsupported claims that a named person harbored racist intent—that kind of label can create legal and fairness risk. Attribute strong language to lawsuits, investigations, or the original reporting.
• Editor-vetted. Discovery may fill a review queue; only editors promote to the front page, using standards they set. The queue is not a verdict about anyone’s character.

Comments

Paid members (Advocates for justice) may comment. Keep discussion constructive and on topic. Moderators and editors may hide abuse. Founding members (first 1,000 accounts) are recognized with a badge; that does not exempt anyone from the rules.

What we reject

• Content that mainly serves or flatters practitioners of racism
• Unverified pile-ons, hoaxes, and engagement bait
• Harassment, slurs aimed at victims, or “both-sides” laundering of hate
• Harassment or doxxing of editors, moderators, advocates, or anyone associated with operating this site
• Automated agents registering accounts or posting comments as if they were human — indexing and citation are welcome; impersonation is banned (account + IP restricted)

Search engines & agents

We want this site discoverable. Crawlers and AI agents may index and cite public pages (see /llms.txt and /robots.txt). They must not create accounts or join comment threads.
