    That is true, but I would argue that he had a weird ideology of diversifying his followers. He and his wife adopted three Korean-American kids. He encouraged his followers to adopt Korean orphans after the Korean War.


    Did he specifically do things to lure in black people? Yes. But he also did things specifically to bring in other demographics.


    He took a different approach depending on which people he wanted to bring in. It's kind of like how American presidential candidates go around the country to do things to connect to the Hispanic/Latino community, the African-American community, and the Asian-American community. Only here, it's much more sinister because his end goal was to kill all of them.

    That's a very... unique equivalency

    Although some politicians and their approach to recruiting POC voters is also pretty predatory as well.

    I typed my comment before I ever even saw your 2nd round of bullshit but ill address that too: I don't care.

    And as for all you're saying in this 3rd round: I really don't care.


    Stop fighting and derailing this thread.

    If you have nothing to say, which you clearly don't, just stop

    I'm pretty sure we all agree that Jim Jones was a terrible human being. Nobody here is defending him. We can all agree on that.


    Where we disagree is the motive of his actions. Motive is important when looking at crimes. He used certain tactics to lure black people in to advance his agenda, but his agenda had nothing to do with black people specifically. His goal was to manipulate as many people as possible regardless of race.


    It's inaccurate to call someone anti-black for pointing out that: He was an evil man, but race was not part of his agenda.

    Many of his sermons are specifically directed to and address black people in America. He touted himself as a savior and made it his mission to recruit black people above anyone else.


    He lured in people of all races but black people were undoubtedly his primary targets

    aclassyteaparty you wanting to turn this into fandom war already shows how bottom of the barrel you are but to tell us we're using race to be hateful is the absolute lowest. How far will you go in your quest to be a perpetual victim?


    Whenever I'm on this site, I call out anti-blackness as I see it and I've seen Bluehun do the same. I'm not on this site 24/7 like u and if it's so bad, take it up with the mods you're shooting for and trying bootlick into getting people banned. It's not my job.


    Quite frankly, you're everything I hate about K-pop fans and their mindless worship of their faves and fandom. I'm not engaging with you, not that you even have anything substantial to say besides mud slinging


    This had nothing to do with you, leave it alone

    i just want to say this is really gross of you to do. saying a public figure did not have or spread outwardly racist ideologies, which is documented in literature like ves showed proof of, is not racist. i can't help but think you guys are using racism as a way to cry wolf against a mod you don't like and this behavior should not be acceptable on this website. i haven't seen either of you call out or go this hard about the actual anti-blackness from users on this site every day, especially from your fellow blinks. but here you are crying crocodile tears over a thread being closed that deserved to be closed? transparent.




    mods, im just wondering if there is actual punishment that can be given to people who spread exaggerated claims about other users, because this is borderline defamation and we can all see that. if not i feel like that would be a valid rule to discuss/add.


    Disgusting as usual

    Not a racist one no matter how much you want to try and bring that up. I have actually studied Jonestown and Jim Jones and while he had his flaws, the history books will be on my side about this. The forum rules state that anything claimed as fact has to be proved - I can give you many many sources from PBS to Encyclopedia Brittanica backing up my assertion. But this isn't the place for a discussion like that. This is the Ask-A-staff thread. Thank you!

    "While he had his flaws" bruh he abused and killed several hundred black people! What Kool-aid are you drinking

    He was a racist. His actions clearly show he was.


    You don't care about the truth of that thread, you jumped on that thread because of Suga. Imagine defending a mass murdering racist over kpop

    Ves if you're going to be sensitive and find any thin af reason to shut down a thread that even mentions your faves in less than positive light, you shouldn't be a mod.

    And if you're so delusional that you're rewriting history, you DEFINITELY don't need to be on this site period.


    Jim Jones targeted distressed black people so that he could prop himself up as a White Savior figure. He saw them as lesser than and used them for money and free labor. It doesn't matter if he was for integration, it was just one of his many obvious manipulation tactics. Wtf kinda person are you?


    He was a racist and you're embarrassing

    My point is few days ago users here on this forum claimed that western artist get more backlash and hate in Western music industry for ca than what kpop idols get in kpop industry for ca,which is false. Nobody in west is caring about what Rihanna did.

    Read the first post.

    Rihanna hasn't even released music in years. She's still famous for being Rihanna but music fans aren't checking her like that. She's more of a fashion figure now. Unless it's something huge like using religious scripture for background music, things she does just aren't going to trend like. Not really an equal comparison
