From Gawker: "Reddit (Finally) Bans CoonTown"

Sam Biddle at Gawker has welcome news about Reddit. From the article:
After months of bending over backwards to explain why a subreddit dedicated to violent hate speech against black people was OK, Reddit’s new CEO [Steve Huffman] announced today that /r/CoonTown is no more.
From the press release by Reddit CEO Huffman:
Today we [Reddit] removed communities dedicated to animated [child pornography] and a handful of other communities that violate the spirit of the policy by making Reddit worse for everyone else: /r/CoonTown, /r/WatchNiggersDie, /r/bestofcoontown, /r/koontown, /r/CoonTownMods, /r/CoonTownMeta.
Only time will tell if this will affect the blog content by The Other Blogger (TOB).
