Many people are now expressing hate in a different kind of way. They are using the internet more and more. Hate groups are now using social networks like facebook and twitter. They are not posting hate messages but they are recruiting people to join their groups. They use these sites to commuicate with eachother about meeting sand other events. They can not get in trouble for these sites because they are not saying anything that would be considered hate on the sites. There are terms and words that are considered hate speech that make them shut the site down.
Fighting words are considered:
- Intent to harm
- Incite violence
One of the articles that we read online helped establish what hate speech really is or is considered.
The Obama article for example:
- They created fear in people by saying that he was forming white re-education camps.
- They compared him to Adolf Hitler
- A paster of a church was quoted sayign that he was going to pray that Obama dies
- A man that served our own contry said if was to take a gun to Washington would anyine follw him
To me personally I think that people that are using these sites are just hiding behind the computers. I think they have a way to speak how they truely feel without having to show their place.
