Is holding people accountable for their racist rhetoric really going to destroy the internet though?

We’ve really hit the point where these ideas are being looked at as legitimate
1. hate for evil is just as bad as being evil.
2. People are allowed to hate what they want
Sad.

Love this so much. Dude was basically like yall are essentially telling me to make up sh*t about history and I refuse to do so.
Where there is a will, there is a way...
People claiming there is no way are only masking the fact that they have no will.
I know its bad form to quote my own post but apparently there are some folks in the back who are hard of hearing...
We know what the racism is.
We know where the racism is.
We know who created the racism.
We know when the racism started.
We know why the racism exists.
But somehow when it comes to the How we end the racism....

Can't take the foot off the gas or stop trying things when they are so blatantly doing the same things they did post slavery again. Stop it before it gets to the erecting racist statues and imagery to assert control.

This is exactly what happened to my dad. Simple, everyday procedure resulted in a hospital acquired infection. 2 months later hes dead. Really difficult to come to terms with it being possibly race related.

I'm in the process of getting this issue changed on wikipedia, but yeah the music loves invalidating black & making appear as lesser to their white counterparts, and here's an example.

"It's an understatement to say that Kanye West is on a roll. As predicted, 'Ye's fifth album, the hotly anticipated My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, will easily top the Billboard 200 albums chart next week, after selling a robust 496,000 copies, giving the Chicago MC his fourth #1 debut in a row."

"In the same way that rival movie studios steer clear of potential blockbusters like "Iron Man" and "Harry Potter," record labels kept their powder dry to avoid going up against Taylor Swift's new release, Speak Now. And that was a smart move, because the country superstar's third album crushed the competition and smashed records on its way to a historic 1,047,000 in sales, according to figures provided by Nielsen SoundScan."
Same writer, same year, same site, and & both reports were with less than a month from the other.

This isn't just a Kanye/Taylor thing. This how the entertainment industry & media is as a whole. I'm just providing how black creatives are treated compared to whites.

Yes, I like having more and more actual research that can be proofed and called upon whenever someone downplays our experience.

LOL... people who are racist don't give a **** about proof and studies.
I'm not mad though, I need to become a researcher... I wanna get paid to conduct a study on whether there's a correlation between white people and increased mayonnaise usage

Why most Black office workers are dreading the return to offices
A new poll says 97 percent of Black knowledge workers are not ready to return to offices riddled with racial microaggressions, discrimination and glass ceilings.
