Great.
What should we do with content that glorifies or lies about the genocide of indigenous people in the Americas (e.g. anything that glorifies Columbus and the history implied by Thanks Giving Day)
Same goes for content that aligns with current day denial that racism is a huge problem in this country and across the globe?
In the end, it's the same net result: people die of hate crimes because of lack of awareness and the perpetuation of content that implicitly upholds white supremacist thinking.
- Cthulhu_ 6y agoWell, there's Columbus statues being torn down (https://www.google.com/search?q=columbus+statue+removed https://www.google.com/search?q=columbus+statue+removed) and movements to change the curriculum wrt Columbus and the early invaders/colonists, so there's that. It took a while, but it's moving in the right direction. I'm sure that if it becomes a bigger thing, Facebook will add fact checking and additional information with regards to that as well. I hope so anyway.
- YetAnotherNick 6y agoI don't know about you but I have got posts in fb and youtube feed about each of the issue that you mentioned more than once, specially anti Columbus posts, and I am not even a leftist but on the centre.
