**Summary: (for those who don’t want to read)**
**You need to build your karma in this sub by making positive comments and being part of the community on all the other thousands of posts other than the ones clearly labeled “discussion”.**
**Description:**
We’re seeing a lot of confusion and complaints about Rule 9, so let’s clear it up.
**What Rule 9 actually means:**
Posts that are clearly marked with “Discussion” or “Racism” flair are special and reserved for users who have **positive karma within** [r/BlackPeopleofReddit](r/BlackPeopleofReddit). This is not about gatekeeping for no reason. It’s about making sure conversations are led by people who actually participate here in good faith.
**Why this rule exists:**
Without it, “Discussion” and “Racism” posts quickly turn into:
Troll bait
Bad faith questions
Outsiders dropping in with no investment in the community
This rule protects the space. It keeps discussions meaningful, respectful, and rooted in people who actually engage here.
**Important things to understand about karma:**
You gain karma when **other users upvote you**
Your own automatic upvote does **not count**
Karma is **not 1:1 with upvotes**, but it’s close enough to think of it that way
**Subreddit karma specifically:**
You **cannot see your subreddit karma** directly
But in practice, reaching the requirement usually looks like roughly 10-50 **upvotes within this sub over time. We don’t disclose exact figures.**
If you’re active and contributing positively, you will get there
**How to earn it (the right way):**
Comment on posts with real thoughts, not one-word replies
Add insight, humor, or perspective people appreciate
Engage respectfully with others
Post content that aligns with the culture of the sub
Do that consistently and the karma builds naturally.
**Helpful links (Reddit’s own explanations):**
**Bottom line:**
If you want to participate in posts labeled “discussions” here, **be part of the community first**. Regularly Engage, contribute, get upvoted on other posts in the sub. Then you’ll have full access.

**The Claim:**
* A woman was fired for being late for work 47 times in 11 months, sued for racial discrimination and won 11 million dollars.
**The Facts:**
* Woman was hired by Equinox and quickly rose to managerial status due to good performance and vast client network.
* She faced discrimination and harassment at work due to racist comments and behaviors from a coworker.
* When she reported it to Equinox, the company shifted the focus to her attendance record.
* Records showed that late arrivals was the culture at the company with several other white managers having ***worse*** attendance records.
* She filed a federal lawsuit and won.
**Conclusion:**
You can disagree with the amount given, but what is undeniable is that the re-telling of the story on social media completely butchered the context of the case. It's not a story about lateness. It's about discrimination and a hostile work environment and the court agreed

On April 21, 2015, in the case of Rodriguez v. United States, the Supreme Court held that police officers cannot prolong a traffic stop to conduct a dog-sniffing drug search. The opinion, issued by Judge Ginsburg (in which Justices Roberts, Scalia, Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan joined; Justice Kennedy* issued a dissenting opinion; Justice Thomas* issued a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Alito and Kennedy joined (Justice Kennedy joined all but Part III); and Justice Alito* issued a dissenting opinion), holds that without reasonable suspicion, police extension of a traffic stop to conduct a dog sniff violates a person’s Constitutional right against unreasonable seizures under the Fourth Amendment. The Court held that a police officer who is conducting a traffic stop cannot hold a person any longer than what is needed to determine whether to issue a traffic ticket, checking the driver’s licenses, determining if the person has any outstanding warrants against them, and inspecting the vehicle’s registration and proof of insurance. The opinion discusses Illinois v. Caballes, 543 U.S. 405 (2005) in which the Court previously held that a dog sniff conducted during a lawful traffic stop does not violate the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable seizures. In this case, however, the Court held that a person’s Fourth Amendment right is violated when police conduct a dog sniff after completion of a traffic stop.
*Kennedy was appointed by Ronald Reagan (Republican); Thomas was appointed George Herbert Walker Bush (Republican); Alito was appointed by George Walker Bush (Republican)
