Oh read your local news comments. My news is full of racist comments. They blame everything on our Latino community and paint the city as a crime filled haven.

Oh read your local news comments. My news is full of racist comments. They blame everything on our Latino community and paint the city as a crime filled haven. To bad we had over $1,000,000,000 invested in our City and have had lower crime every year for the past 10 years.
- eli 11y agoSure, but I don't hang out in local news comment threads either.
- striking 11y agoI am willing to believe a very small number of people take those seriously.
- pdeuchler 11y agoYou'd be horribly, horribly wrong too
- jgrowl 11y agoThis is a good point. It's the same way where I live, though most of the hate is directed towards black folks (KY). People with strong opinions (good or bad) will tend to be more vocal about it, and racists have very strong opinions. Therefore they will have a high visibility anywhere. The Southern Poverty Law Center might as well classify the air we breath to be racist because it is used as a platform for transmitting ideas. I still think we really need to create a distributed open reddit alternative based off of ipfs or something similar. Ideally all posts would be treated the same at a low level but different curation sites could be built on top. Users that wanted to be 'protected' from 'offensive' material could be while users that value free speech could look at unfiltered views.
