Is this sub full of racists and nasties, or is it mostly teenage 2edgy4mes? Combination of both? Even with all the drama lately, for some reason I haven't been able to figure them out.

As I've heard it, the story goes...
It started out as a troll subreddit but the real racists found it and took over. They still try and claim they are trolling even though the content has changed They started out similar to r/ImGoingToHellForThis . So I've been told

It definitely IS our business because our sub is obviously being targeted. They know that nobody will give a shit, and possibly even support this because they don't like our sub. This is simply them picking on a minority that is unable to defend itself.
Oh! The irony! It's delicious.

Well things are getting serious in r/niggers. It appears from that thread that other users of that sub were banned also.

Wait...did they just compare "nigger" to "nerd?"
I must be missing something.

r/niggers trashed one of the AMA's in my subreddit (casualiama) about 12 days ago.
You can see what's left of the ama here: http://www.reddit.com/r/casualiama/comments/1d8342/im_a_black_man_that_just_visited_rniggers_ama/
Here is the xpost from r/niggers.
The AMA was 1 day old, all the karma scores had settled and the comment threads had died when they picked up on it. Within an hours time one of the mods(now shadowbanned) from r/niggers claimed the top three comments, and everything OP posted had disappeared into negative territory. People from the xpost flooded that thread, and trickled in for two or three days. It was a mess.
I sent a message with more detail and a few more links about the incident to the reddit admins. I never heard back from them but I'm happy to see something is being done about their behavior. I really doubt this was an isolated case.

Please don't shadowban any more members of our community--they have been through enough trauma.
...Seriously? Holy melodrama, Batman. If that's an example of significant trauma, then I'm a bobtailed fucking possum.

Another member of theirs was shadowbanned for vote manipulation just 3 days ago. Link 1
u/ihackdota was the guy that sent his resume in r/forhire and got called out as a rascist. Link 2
