Nothing reinforces your stance of being morally superior like going on a witch hunt.
I actually agree 100% as long as you don't burn them at the stake like a witch hunt.
Legal repercussions against Racists? No thanks.
Public shaming? Hell yes.

Goddamnit - it doesn't surprise me that there are so many racists, but it literally astonishes me there are so many unabashed public racists. People who present themselves to friends, families, peers and either deliberately or inadvertently to the world as if racism is OK.
Frankie... duuuude, if you were in the south on election day with the number of "don't rig-nig 2012" bumper stickers I saw on my way to work, you wouldn't be surprised.
Please I live in RI and I see that shit daily.
Nah. That was pretty clear sarcasm. Ease up on the trigger, too much friendly fire.Being there's so much stupidity here as of late, there needs to be a big fat /sarcasm tag on posts like that. It's getting hard to tell the difference between sarcasm and idiocy.

High school kids aren't safe either. They've got all her info on there. Sorry about your damn luck, Lauren.
People have a freedom of speech. Yes, they might use that freedom for awful things, but it's still their right. We shouldn't be attacking people for exercising their right to free speech. Just ignore it, and if they have no audience to speak to, they'll shut up.

These people are absolutely fucked when it comes to future employment.
Not sure I agree with dumb kids being screwed over for life because you definitely say stupid things when you're young that you might not even mean (not saying that's right) and then grow out of it... but for anyone out of school I have no sympathy for them. Deserve to be named and shamed, really.

This is overexaggerating, they are not fucked for future employement.
This being openly racist trend, while nice to weed them out better, is a growing epidemic that has really gotten out of hand and into dangerous territory. It needs to be publicly looked down upon and the people shamed, not nurtured. Yes people can grow out of it, but just like anything else it needs a catalyst to happen.
Um.I'm not saying it's right - because it's not - and I agree these people need to be confronted about it. I'm just not sure that having this up on the internet for millions of people to see is the best way to go about it for people of a certain age.
And I know first hand stories of people who have had job troubles because of profile pictures on FB etc. Imagine what a Google of these kids' names will bring up for employers. Having issues with employment is a real issue due to social networking, this will be trouble for some of them. Maybe it's tough luck because they're racist scum, or maybe it's something stupid they did as a kid that they grew out of and are now perfectly adjusted adults. It's a big gamble to put their details up, I think.
Those posts are very offensive, just a heads up.
I never understood what 'coon' means, I know it is a racial slur, just looked it up, mind blown! WTF?
Also, most of those posts are from very few States, mostly mid-west.
No, I'm fine just questioning why a blog about racist comments on twitter isn't including remarks from people of different political groups.
are you purposely doing that?
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.

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.
missing the forest for the trees.

This one makes me WTF the most.
I don't think my criticsm qualifies for this expression. Oh well thisisneogaf.jpg.
My wife does medical research. She's pretty much turned racist against the Chinese (not Japanese or Koreans, just Chinese) as a result.
Damn this forum is high and mighty. I'm not so naive to think that many people in this very topic have made racially derogatory comments about another person at some point or another. Yeah, the comments are hateful but I don't think some site should be out there trying to air everyone's dirty laundry either. We all have work to do and this sort of thing does nothing but keep the pot stirred.
The only thing that makes these people idiots is that they spewed it on the internet. I'm not going to judge someone simply because of an instance of bad judgement.

I have a few theories, but why did this happen, exactly?

Blatant racism isn't a moment of weakness nor an instance of bad judgement. Stop downplaying what these fools are saying and doing as if they had no choice or something.

I think it is wrong to pigeonhole people by defining their entire existence off of a few comments. If we were all judge based on everything we have ever said then all of us here would look just as bad as these fools do right now. Get off of your moral high horse.
