god damn it, you faggots did it again
>An online White House petition calling for the Black Lives Matter movement to be classified as a organization has surpassed 100,000 digital signatures thanks in part to support from 4chan’s anonymous user base.
>The petition claims that “terrorism is defined as ‘the use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims.’ This definition is the same definition used to declare ISIS and other groups, as terrorist organizations. Black Lives Matter has earned this title due to its actions in Ferguson, Baltimore, and even at a Bernie Sanders rally, as well as all over the United States and Canada.”
As of noon Tuesday, the petition has collected 121,000 signatures, which is above the 100,000 threshold needed to get an official update from the White House within 60 days.
The petition has been the subject of more than 150 different 4chan threads on its politics board /pol/ since July 7. Most of those threads have been archived on 4chan.
>In one of the threads, a user asked for help fixing a script he or she made to automate votes. Another 4chan user warned that using a script could delegitimize the petition. The code for the script was posted on Pastebin.
>The White House petition was started “a day after Alton Sterling was killed by police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the same day that Philando Castile was shot during a traffic stop in a St. Paul, Minnesota suburb,” RT.com reported.
One of the cornerstones of 4chan’s prank arsenal is the petition or vote rigging scheme. It has famously rigged the Time 100 list to have 4chan founder Chris “moot” Poole win and helped a creepy 39-year-old get the chance to smell Taylor Swift’s hair. The site is also responsible for fixing a Facebook contest that sent Pitbull to perform in Alaska and having the names “Hitler Did Nothing Wrong,” “Diabeetus’” and “Moist Nugget” top the list of names for a new Mountain Dew drink.
