Another place to see it is on twitter. Now that we are in the post-Musk X time, there is much more there, it's not being blocked like it was in the past. The gist of my argument was social media sometimes allows a lot more racist speech, getting to my thought that this is why some young people want censoring of that, because they don't want to be confronted with it. Even advertisers have noticed - https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/tech/x-ads-pro-nazi-account-brand-safety/index.html https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/16/tech/x-ads-pro-nazi-account-b....
I didn't mean to imply there wasn't racist public speech in say the '60s, of course there was, but it wasn't repeated on the news much. If you went out in a crowd you'd hear it, but the news paper usually gave some nicer repetition.
- jlawson 3y agoYou said 'another place' but you didn't show us anything in the first two places. So - you have no links to all that racism you're describing on reddit? And no evidence of crowds yelling to keep black kids out of their schools either? Again - You're saying there's so much racism. Substantiate your claims. Please provide the links to show us that what you're describing actually exists. (It doesn't exist, because all these social networks very strictly police speech to prevent racism, as does society at large.)
