Who is intimidating them? Ridiculing them, yes. But intimidating?
Don't you remember? These poor racists are being bullied.
The proper response is to laugh along with them and/or ignore them because they're just kids. I mean, it's not like they talk about killing faggots and niggers and hating people simply because they're black or gay. Excuse me -- blackies or fags. That's a normal thing. I've got a million friends who think that kind of thing is funny. They post about it all the time. Along with pictures of themselves smiling, telling what school they're from, and how they hate Obama "SandMonkey" Saddam.
Just in case:
Look, I've got my full name online. Click through to the short story in my sig. That is my real name. My location is actually real. I've repeatedly stated that I go to college. There is only one college in this state that offers my major, which I've repeated a million times on this site. I've also stated my race, just in case anyone is slow on the uptake. Granted, you'd have to look a bit for this info if you weren't a regular member of this site, but someone in Albuquerque could easily find me by going to UNM and asking a few people if they knew me. Probably wouldn't take longer than a few hours. I understand the consequences. I don't really care.
What people -- most of you guys, really -- don't seem to understand is that public info is easily found for most teenagers with apps like FourSquare, or any of the million apps that post your location -- or when
you yourself tag your location when you're going out to party. For instance -- a friend of mine, with her Facebook account, has posted "Out at Taco Cabana having a good time eating Fajitas with ... Cory A. etc.., etc..."
Her account is public. Anyone can see her info if they searched her on Facebook. I've told her time and time again not to do that, but she never listens to me.
People also post all of their info conveniently on one page, in case you've never used FB before.
You know, like phone numbers, school, job, political affiliation, SO, the car they drive, etc... Some even post their addresses.
This site has done nothing but link to it, telling you who said it. That's it. If I had the time on my hands, I could do it. Very easily. There's nothing private about the info. If they're scared for their lives... well, I don't care. I find it very hard to care for someone when they've repeatedly stated that they want to kill people who look like me, or that they hate people who look like me, or they want to hang fags and and niggers and come after them with coons. There's really no subtlety there. Normal people do not post things like that. They are not being bullied.
Let's repeat this again:
The kids who call people who look like me niggers, and say they'd like to hang us are not being bullied or intimidated in any kind of way. They are the bullies.
Jeesh, next are we going to be talking about the poor, intimidated KKK and why did they have to stop harassing those niggers, they were just having fun? Because this is the behavior that leads to joining hate groups, you know?
I mean, really -- "What do you call 5 niggers hanging from a tree in MS? A wind chime?"
"The KKK wants you!"
"I hope the white house burns down with Obama and his family inside."
And they're the victims. Give me a break.
This is why the military tells us
not to do this. And
never to post pictures of our ID's online. That's just beyond stupid.
What exactly is the proper response to all of this? I, for one, am glad they're being aired out. I see nothing hypocritical about the website, or what Jezebel did. I see nothing petty about it, either. If anything, I'm kind of sad other racist teens will stop posting this stuff on their feeds. It'll make it harder to determine who's a jackass and who's not.
