This kind of racism is bad for the world.
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
They ask for 2 reasons: So they don't have to defeat your argument & so they can attack your source. Internet Trolling 101
Onekindofpisslord
Sometimes I'm too busy or not motivated to google, plus the person probably has the source in hand or remembers the site they got it from.
rabaal
This, followed by the "mayonnaise is a gender" post. Pretty much all tumblr.
owlest
well if you didnt graduate middle school it's no wonder you dont get the concept of citing sources.
BaggedMolk
give me the source pls.

Gandy2
Nah I agree
Gandy2
I just hate finding evidence
Sephority
Well then you deserve to have no one believe you ever
dayman77
People used to make fun of me for being French, but then I found out that I'm 4 percent victim.
RisingPhoenix92
Upvoting solely for username
DammitTodd
If you're not embarrassed by county's history, then you haven't studied your country's history
Frogthebountyhunter
Searched up this retards username, hopefully they're a troll because all their posts are just shaming white people
0atmealTears
I think we should collectively agree to turn Tumblr into a porn site. Like boycott it, except for porn. Only visit Tumblr for porn.
MrPredator
METAAAAAAAAAL
Can non-whites not ask for sources? I know an ethnically Kurdish guy who always asks for sources when arguing. Has he been lying 10 years?
roqueofspades
have you ever heard of a sock puppet
CygloPargen
I think they mean no matter what your source is, they'll just say it's fake. "Wikipedia?! Anyone can edit!" "Snopes? Seriously?" "CNN? FAKE!
NickRivieraMD
to be fair none of those is a primary source.
CygloPargen
See what I mean?
OPmakesOC
No, he's right. Sites like Wikipedia aren't valid sources. What do you think the little bracketed superscript numbers in the articles mean?
NickRivieraMD
Does imgur not know what a primary source is?
Marcster01
I mean even primary sources can be dodgy nowadays with people coming up with shit to suit their objective
NickRivieraMD
Sure but you can evaluate primary sources using other contemporary sources or in the case of studies, by checking the methods and statistics
AgainstMethod
Give me the source of this exchange or you made it up.

Goddamnit Tumblr.

Was the system of passes and tearing up passes actually a thing? Who was issuing the passes, and for what reason?

School district was in a predominately afrocentric and black section of the city. We even had an AA museum in the public library. It's lit 6

To prove that the black/colored person in question was free. It was a fucked up thing that happened being completely warped by this loser.
rainballs
Travel papers and proof of freedom, and if they wanted to, they could rip it up arrest you and sell you. These passes were to prove that 2/?
rainballs
You were either free, or you had permission from your master to travel. It's usually issued to slaves that was sending or receiving stuff 3
rainballs
Yeah it was a thing. Of they didn't want you to pass, they would tear it up and arrest you. You could be a free black man with 1/2

DoktorLurker
Please remember, some people ask for sources because they genuinely want to learn more. The rest of us want you to prove you're not lying.
CptRobotNinja
Assume Im lying. Or dont. I dont care.
DaruniaSandstorm
I just want to know if they're getting their shit from Breitbart or the Huffington Post, so I know what to give more skepticism to.
Pryotra
And some of us want to both verify fact and learn simultaneously.
NuggetNinja
I usually ask when the statement is clearly bullshit. Stops people dead in their tracks.
TwoReds
You truly are the Herr or Frau doktor of lurking

Do you just assume my Germanity?

RenegadeSci
Also, rember that it is not others responsibility to bring you water, food, or a resource. My name isn't google. Personal responsibility.
DoktorLurker
If a person is going to put info out there & have it taken as gospel then they need to be able to defend their position.
RenegadeSci
Do you have a source on that? You need to take your time to bring me 5 citations, or it's all bullshit. I'll judge if they're valid.
RenegadeSci
Obviously you're in error. You've not provided me the references! /s (we're using https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/tu-quoque )
pandro
People claiming minorities have never been mistreated ask for sources. Um, yeah, do you remember high school, do you read the paper? 1/
pandro
They are pretending a problem doesn't exist when it's common knowledge. Yeah, a specific incident could be bull. But not the overall 2/

situation. I'm not gonna go find some lawbooks from 1880 to prove that women and children were considered chattel in court. 3/3
Shlelis
On day to fault conversation people usually do it to be a dick and are not willing to show their own sources. Not because asking for sources
Shlelis
Is dickish, but because it's often used as a means to detail the conversation. Not to mention sources will be ignored.
GreaterDog
Honestly being able to provide sources for your claims makes your argument so much stronger. Not nearly as easily dismissed, either.
Dwerioc
This reminds me of stories during the holocaust when...
hitshappens
But also remember that anything of value is based on a body of proof rather than a single source. For example, there is no one paper (1)
hitshappens
(2) that says vaccines don't cause autism, but we extrapolated that data by reading between the lines and correlating information.
pilojo
There are many singular papers that say vaccines don't cause autism. They also draw on large bodies of proof to support it.
hitshappens
No clinical study has been conducted of it. Those papers extrapolate and correlate an immense amount of information to come up with the (1)
hitshappens
(3) possibility is so small, it's insignificant. Definitely far more insignificant than the lives saved by preventing disease.

(2) most likely answer. It's not black or white, it's bayesian. There remains a non-zero probability that vaccines cause autism, but the
MarkOfTheCovenant
I read too many fun fact posts and believed them all until I learned I was a stupid boy and I don't want to be hurt like that ever again
DoktorLurker
Being aware of it is part of the path to moving forward.
DammitWhoTookAllTheUsernames
Both are good reasons to ask.
RideTheStimutacs
A good portion of them want proof about life experience though, which isn't exactly quantifiable.
OGBuzzKillington
Prove it
DPCerberusBlaze
I like asking for sources when I already have a counterargument or when the person gets nasty/racist.
Irishda
I'd say the rest want to come up with a new excuse why you're wrong
DoktorLurker
Yeah, that too I suppose.
NicholasCageTheElephant
Some people do it just to be pedantic
SkippedOver
I'm not sure I can believe that, can you give a credible peer reviewed source published in a major scientific journal? /sarcasm
Nofootlongs
When the source you cite does not match their worldview they'll say "oh that's an obviously biased source". That annoys the shit out of me.
Niddhoger
While a source may in fact be obviously biased, you have to point out the real flaws in it instead of just dismissing it out of hand.
DoktorLurker
You must be annoyed as hell these days. Just going near a TV must drive you up a wall ;)
DoktorLurker
That is very true too.
silviosAI
Ahahahahah. We all want to prove you're lying(Opnoob, 2017).
DoktorLurker
And when you can't?
GaySocialistLiberalMuslimCommieAtheist
Make up a bullshit reason the source is invalid
DoktorLurker
You've got a future in politics or blogging.
silviosAI
Probably blame reviewer number 2
luvas

PresidentialRoboHobo

DrMalpractice
You try harder
Icanalreadytelliwillbepopular
Academia has trained me to always check the sources. It's damn near a complex.
AdamantlyDislikingAllDogs
I’d prefer it near a research center.
thepunnypenguin
Found a bad source in a book that had been printed and was about to be released. $15,000 reprint. It was my first week as an intern. Oops.
Diddykongkey
And then they give you some off brand website that uses credible sources as toilet paper.
RandomVoiceFromTheInternet
Studying journalism taught me that a source is unusable until it is verified and corroborated.
Mentok
Just being human has caused me to be skeptical as fuck
randomdrifter54
The internet has trained me to check sources. So much B's you can skip.
spookyu
It's good and bad, in a report or periodical - good. On imgur's comments section...meh maybe Google it yourself. 140 characters, yo.
brainplay
With the proliferation of journal citation mills with shoddy methodology (especially social sciences) I have even begun vetting the journals
brainplay
Twitter's Real Peer Review has basically made me super skeptical these days.
Themuricanpole
Yup. Always check the impact factor
blueseconomist
Thank you for this. As a fellow researcher, it's a given that the bigger the claim, the bigger the proof needed to back it up.
DarkBusterBaron
Octopuses will wipe out the human race and be the next major civilization on earth.

Radcjk
Quoted percentages.... for the love of all things holy, I hate hearing "They say 67%..." who is they and where the hell is the data...
PatrikLilja
Or if I spread the words further want to make sure I'm not spreading lies.
Snooj
Most people on here ask for sources because they want to see if they can find pics of her naked.
eadanke
It's a good educational tool. Rewarding people for intellectual diligence and all that. I can't even get a chub without fact checking now.
DoktorLurker
This...is also true. I have done this.
Tinkrr
You want me to prove what I'm saying? You must be racist.
shadysocks
Tumblr for me is non stop nudity of varying degrees
MarkRavingMad
the tumblr-net is for porn!
Riku0142
That's the best use I've found for it
DetectiveSloth
And food. I like the food pics.
IndyAndyJones
That's what instagram is for isn't it? Which is why I don't have instagram.
DetectiveSloth
I don't want vegan gluten free farm fresh organic bat turds some yoga model is drinking I want food damnit.
DevilPhoenix
I thought it was only for porn, does it actually have another function?!
IndyAndyJones
No. Not when used correctly anyway.
clevernamestolen
The best use of tumblr since imgur is full of prudes.
ShadyVenator
A-a-a-men.
IZ42
Or ah, men, depending on taste
PeteButtigieg
Lips that grip
Unpurchased
Imo imgur is full of thirsty people, the mods just keep it clean for advertisers. Plus tumblr has complete feed control while imgur does not
Unpurchased
His is nonstop porn because he only follows porn. Imgur either brings you random shit or the most popular content.
clevernamestolen
I do enjoy porn.
rooik14
That and artists. I keep up with a lot more indie artists than I would without tumblr.
shadysocks
True. Lots of cool art and gifs.
rooik14
I probably wouldn't have gotten into some games/shows without tumblr's influence. Like Danganronpa is a series introduced to me by tumblr.
maruyaama
I follow artists pretty much exclusively.. you never run into "the discourse" if you don't follow people who blog about that
rooik14
It does happen from time to time though and when it does I tend to give artists a three strike rule in my head. If they irritate me with 1/2
rooik14
2/2 discourse three times I silently unfollow them.
cutepiku
I follow the same rule. I follow cute animal blogs, anime/game blogs and artists. Not typical "tumblr" shit you'll see posted here.
TheBloodyScot
And, most importantly, nudie artists.
quarky
I go there all the time for naked whatever-the-fuck-I-want. It’s a great community for peen, vagene, and everything in between!
LosPer
Why go there when there is a subreddit for every option like that? Serious question...
BoldFacedUsername
Much much much much easier to browse. All visual. Reddit has a lot of text. Or so my ummm... friend tells me.
Nostradamuswaswrong
It's called reddpics, then /r/ your preferred sub.

Thanks. Appreciate.

The problem is ppl think this represent Tumblr because they never visit it and only look at screenshots of some nitwit falling for trollbait
ThePinkestPigglet
I had a tumblr once and this is a very accurate representation of it.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
If we judged imgur by its dumbest comments, it'd look about the same.
demosthenes89
About as stupid, yes, but it would be all racist or mysogenist instead of progressive.
TheOnlyPtylerdactyl
Truth.
SomeCrazyNerd
And ironicslly there are more comments disagreeing with the stupidity ON TUMBLR than the comment.
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
It's every social media platform. You either die while you're myspace or you live long enough to become 4chan.
ChrisD5
I don’t know but whenever I scroll through my dash or popular tags, stuff like this is pretty common on tumblr.
SteelAsh
I hardly ever see this stuff. You have to look for it/follow someone who has these types of views normally.
MayorDeweyMayorDewey
tumblr is kinda weird in the way that the people you follow determine what you see. dont wanna see sjw politics? dobt follow sjws.
MayorDeweyMayorDewey
dont* but you get the point.
misspoopsalot
These are the people slowing down the progress of equality. Those fucking victim complex shit needs to stop.
MrLamps
The worst thing is the way they claim this if you are not white and ask for sources it is ok. The ignorant racisim slows down equality.
Lopool
LadyTashviv
I've seen this so much I didn't actually believe racism was still a thing before the police brutality videos started popping up
51CorgisInABar
They are slowing it down just as much as the people who refuse to accept evidence that equality has not been achieved, or even worse
TGWeaver
Nah, I would say the racists are still worse than the people being too sensitive to racism.
51CorgisInABar
? That’s what I said?
TGWeaver
You said "just as much".
51CorgisInABar
I said “slows down progress”, not “equivalent in badness to”
51CorgisInABar
the people who continually move the goalposts when you do provide evidence they don’t like
SomeCrazyNerd
It hasn't been achieved but it's been improved.
51CorgisInABar
Doesn’t mean we should stop trying, or rest on our laurels
SomeCrazyNerd
No it doesn't. But it does mean we have to recognise the needs aren't the same.
TGWeaver
What practical effect would that possibly have on modern discourse though?
flapperfemmefatale
Nah, still doesn't beat actual white supremacists.
TommyMuaReal
It very clearly is due to it being in such mass.
misspoopsalot
It makes racism less credible; gives people a reason to say, see, it’s not real; and it disrespects the true racism people went through

If that is not OC please include the source.

Imgur and tumblr need to just get it on already. Everyone can see this bickering is just because you want each others' boners.
fairybug
Nah, they're both cunts.
mtallmen184
Did you just assume Tumblr's gender? https://m.imgur.com/P6XduSJ
fairybug
Nah, just the necessary level of intensity modifier. Cunt is more aggressive a word than boner. However,
DrBruleSaysYes
I'm not going to assume tumblr's gender or genitals. Imgur's is a bacon wrapped gunpenis with red-headed dickbutt on the end.
RustyNeX
tumblr is supposed to fuck 4chan, Imgur would probably fuck 9gag
WaterblightGanon
tumblr doesn't know this site exists. this is purely one-sided
ClitKicker87
"tons of people have absolutely no idea about another popular website, not a single user is shared between the combined millions"
senyu
So is Tumblr Imgur's senpai that doesn't notice us?
rooik14
Seriously if anything their hate-boner is for 4chan
NotAnIroningBoard
A whole site obsessed with a single hackerman
ghostanom
Who is this "4 chan"?
NotAnIroningBoard
TheThunderbirdRising
I'm pretty sure everything that isn't 4-chan has a hateboner for 4chan
SalamanderCmndr
Brothers and sisters are natural enemies, like 4chan and Tumblr. Or 4chan and Reddit. Or 4chan and 4chan.
acuteavocado7
damn 4channers, they ruined 4chan!
