The Russian Troll Tumblr Post So Stupid It Went Viral
None of the troll farm posts earned as much mockery across the web as Hustle in a Trap’s conspiracy theory about black people being kidnapped and ‘consumed’ for nearly $30 million.

In the Reddit community TumblrInAction, a group devoted to mocking posts by “social justice warriors” who “pretend they’re oppressed,” a user named TheStonedWizard was dumbfounded by a post written on a Tumblr page called “Hustle in a Trap” last April. For good reason.
“The Beast is eating, sniffing & injecting us,” the Tumblr post by Hustle in a Trap reads. “Melanin $158,144 a pound, 185 pounds in the Average Black mans body. Dead black man with 185 pounds of melanin worth $29,256,640.”
In short, when Hustle in a Trap’s post isn’t confusing melanin, the natural pigments produced by all people that makes skin darker, and melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep, it’s alleging this: African-Americans are being kidnapped for their melanin, but America is too distracted by “issues pertaining to homosexuality” to notice.
“What world do these people live in?” TheStonedWizard asked.
The answer to that question is Savushkina Street in St. Petersburg, Russia.
