No real reasons to distrust this information, really. Let's hope it didn't hit 'em too hard. I must say, with the traffic that 4chan get, it must have been one fucking tidal wave of a DDOS.
Did it ever occur to anyone that /b/ could have been used to bring down 4chan?
Anonymous has a weakness, which its weakness is itself?
It would be rather poetic.
Moot is dead

Shit, I miss /b/

civil war was about abolishing slavery and the KKK.
stop making excuses for southern racists.
they beat the shit out of their slaves 'cause they could always fuck the women and breed some more.
stop sanitizing the redneck cunts.
slavery was and is wrong in the first place
(a) I can't believe anyone fell for that troll.
(b) As with any troll, there is some truth within it. The war was sort of about slavery and sort of not: the southern states believed that it should be the right of the individual state to decide whether to permit slavery or not, etc. etc. Natch, they were by and large the ones who were in support of slavery and the northern states were by and large the ones who were against it. But if you haven't studied the Civil War in depth, look up the Horace Greely letter and give it a bit of thought. It's a more complex situation than most people think.
(c) Some people did beat their slaves, sure. That's why there are a lot of historical references to the act of slave-beating, and there are even written works on how to beat them "correctly" so as not to permanently injure them. But! It was definitely not something that everyone did. Also, mulattos weren't worth as much.
(d) The KKK was only founded after the Civil War ended. Watch Gone With the Wind some time -- there's a very cleaned-up reference to the founding of the KKK at the end, when the blacks come into town. (Alternately, watch Birth of a Nation if you can find a copy of it. It's largely about the founding of the KKK as response to the South losing the war.)
By the way, I'm not neither a redneck nor an apologist. I'm from up north; for a couple years I had to live in the deep south, in the bible belt, and the amount of racist, redneck, bible-thumping, closed-minded radical-conservative bullshit I had to put up with has ensured that I will do everything in my power never to live there again. Too bad for the minority of people who were actually rational about any issue.
Fuck man this sucks. Need fappage. I blame tumblrfags. I say we low orbit ion cannon them
