>>509414366 (OP)>>509414757/pol was created as a white nationalist forum. Non whites just attack whites and attempt to prevent us from speaking about how they attack us all of the time. This is why the forum is spammed with these type of endless bot threads.
Another news board, /new/, was later added on 25 January 2010. It was deleted a year later on 17 January 2011.[37][user-generated source] According to 4chan's creator and ex-administrator Christopher Poole, this was because it had "devolved into /stormfront/".[38][39][40] This was comparing /new/ to Stormfront, which is the oldest and largest Holocaust-denialist white supremacist site.[40][41] The /new/ board was the direct predecessor to /pol/.[42]
/pol/ was created in 2011.[22] According to Christine Lagorio-Chafkin, /pol/ was created by "4chan's founder [...] to siphon off and contain the overtly xenophobic and racist comments and memes from other wings of 4chan."[43] This has led to /pol/ acquiring the nickname of a "containment board", because its purpose is to keep far-right and generally political content off of 4chan's other boards.
