Hello There, Racists!

I still feel sorry for every single member posting in neogaf that has some sort of cognitive dissonance when members, like myself, keep writing that his information is public, that they put themselves in the position. To willingly be bigoted racists pricks, announce it to everyone.
-He put himself on the pillory, and attached his drivers license to his application.
-It doesn't matter what his inspirations were, hindsight is 20/20. You betcha!
-If you say something stupid online, someone will repost it. It is the state of the internet, and it has been ever since Al Gore created it.
You clearly don't know how the internet works, if you are really sitting here stunned at the shaming of someone. If you feel sorry for people that are aware of the internet. Hell we have our own form of it on Neogaf with Detective gaf.
Why are people like you trying so hard to overthrow the way the internet works? There is a problem, sure, just like the Heart Attack Dad's Daughter. Troll on the internet, be a racist? Make sure you aren't wearing your school uniform.

Feel free.
This all the way but man I'm so torn by putting a spotlight on bigoted racists. Can I be on the fence with this?

You don't really need to doctor a twitter screenshot to make a racist comment when so many legitimate ones can be found with much less effort.
Lets say one of their friends got 80s TMNT van mint in box from a black friend.
Both possible situations with equal relevance to this thread.

For a split second I was surprised that people like this existed.
Then I remembered the world I live in and the answer to everything;
Humans.

Yeah, I'm sure the tumblr guy has some personal vendetta against all these idiots.
That doesn't address my concern in the slightest though.
No you're right, I mean everyone on the internet is well intentioned.

Yup, it really is sad....However what are you gonna do? The public display of the tweets with their public pictures is enough in my opinion. I'm pretty sure I've came in contact with people like that day to day, however they know what to say and around whom to say certain things.
I guess that depends on if you make it racial.

Im glad to see something like this up. All their info is public record, this is simply a way to hold people accountable for what they say. A lot of people online say shit just because theres anonymity in hiding behind a scree name. These racist kids will some day be in a position to get high ranking jobs and in turn can turn down "niggers" "spics" "chinks" and "muslims" for jobs. There needs to be consequences and accountability for what they say and do. Hopefully this will teach some of them to learn when to shut the fuck up and maybe even prevent them from getting certain jobs.
If racism is ever going to whither... strong, substantial actions like calling racists out for being racist is a good step towards killing racism. What's the alternative? Let the racists continue their hate speech at will without any blowback? I'd rather see racism die than not have the personal information of racists exposed to the world at large. If these people are not taught a tangible and painful lesson, they'll continue to go through life with the same toxic attitudes, spoiling any further attempts at healing the race divisions in our country. That's a public good worth shaming a few hateful morons for.

I see nothing wrong with this. They made the comments public, and we the public have deemed them racist. They're getting what they deserve.
No, I'm fine just questioning why a blog about racist comments on twitter isn't including remarks from people of different political groups.

You have to know how to use a computer to use Twitter.
GAF doesn't care about changing outlooks, they want them to be exiled forever. People posting here have a certain glee about them, revelling in the schadenfreude more than anything else.

Sad thing is, some of the twitter accounts that are still active, the user stands behind what they said. Like they are proud to be racists, and are just expressing how they feel.
And none of these mitigate any of the shit he said.
You have his twitter account, go look how long it's been up.
Apparently his friends have been talking for days to someone who has hijacked his account and no one, including him, has noticed then. Because it's still saying the same kind of shit. Again, we've got his Twitter account.
Yes, he should. You take responsibility for the shit you say or you don't say shit.
Oh, now you're going with the "What if someone off balance does something bad because they saw this post!"
1. That's the same bullshit argument people use for censoring media, I'm sure you don't back it then, don't pull that bullshit now.
2. THEN HE SHOULDN'T HAVE POSTED IT IN PUBLIC. No one is responsible for the consequences of his stupid bullshit.
And he'd totally deserve:
1. Help.
and
2. Ridicule for his hate speech against all black people.

"If you're old enough to put a dick in your mouth, you're old enough to know better".
A) That's decidedly not true, and B) What does it have to do with anything?
Somehow you're less "innocent" if you've had sex?
This was all funny last week, and I gladly joined in myself, but it's starting to get old. Not trying to shame anyone still drinking up the salty, salty tears. Just saying it's lost its appeal for me, personally.
Some of them even think it's funny.

All I can really do is laugh when I saw some of those twitter accounts say "haters make me famous" or something equally stupid, and then they mention "but I'm not a racist."
Boggles my fucking mind.
Yes, you're absolutely right. I'm one of them. Except, if these same people became legitimately remorseful by understanding what they have done wrong instead of back peddling out of fear of repercussion then that's worth much much more.
It's also worth pointing out that anyone can make Twitter / Facebook accounts and claim to be someone else - If I had a vendetta against someone I knew, I could easily make a fake twitter account using their info, blast a few racist tweets out, and end up on someone's racist tumblr page and potentially ruin future job prospects etc.
Slippery slope.

No, you're just not a kid and can't be treated as one.

I love this shit.
Yeah, if you dumb black people think about your own economic interests you'll certainly find yourself at home in the Republican Party!
Goddamn fucking idiots don't know nothing about nothing. Doesn't stop them from talking.
But for how long.
I was in NYC last year just after it snowed and most of it was actually brown or yellow.
Rhetorical question.

What if you're 12?
You know what? That's besides the point. When you're a teenager, you say and do stupid things. You have yet to live long enough to fully appreciate that little actions can have big consequences. I'm not so jaded in that respect that I forget my own smug, elitist, Objectivist self when I was 16.
These kids need education, not shaming.

Theres some hearsay in there ("My dad said he was going to assassinate-") then a picture of the dad. I DO have a problem with that.
The rest no problems. People can answer to what they say.
I've never understood the hiding of identities when posting social information about something they say.
Either post it or don't.

Really what these twitter users mean is "I'm not racists because I hate other races. Its just when its a different race other than my own that has some type of effect in my life other than serving me food, or making a song, it really makes me mad." e.g. Hunger Games, Hockey Matches, etc.

Sadly, they probably are already getting education about this subject from their parents or others.
Are they not saying this in public? When we were young, would we not have been shamed for displaying these attitudes in, say, a classroom?

I think you're probably right, unfortunately.
Anecdotally, I would have been sent to the principal's office and told exactly why what I said was wrong, as opposed to having the entire classroom point and laugh at me without any constructive measures being taken. This blog seems to be analogous to the latter scenario.
Those two things are not mutually exclusive. In fact, I'm sure this is quite the learning experience for all of them. The bubble wherein their ignorance could flourish has been popped by the hard reality of the rest of the world's morals.
You're right they need education. However, people should stop treating them with kids gloves. One doesn't expect pure objective outlook from a teenager. They do a lot of stupid things. But how has, in this day and age of internet where information that can change perspectives is at hand, education on the the ills of racism escaped them all these years?
Once again, they need education and this public shaming is perhaps stern, but the racist messages these people deliberately wrote for the world to see has its consequences.
Because they're apparently young and somehow beyond reproach.
One thing to note is that there should be no doubt in people's mind that people here who actively abhor racism understand that caucasians aren't the only racist people. Regardless of the race any and all racism should be made criminal into a criminal offence.
I actually don't feel much towards them. I got used to the idea of the world being filled with racists a long time ago, but I like being able to put faces to it.
What really aggravates me are people trying to tell me that I should feel bad for people who are calling me a nigger, and that I should condemn the act of calling people out for calling me a nigger.
Having read this site for the past 10 minutes, ill take back my previous concerns and say fuck these idiots. Expose them all!
