if you have evidence that that is the case, i'll call the cops on them for you, if you're worried about being a "snitch".Originally Posted by MLSKINS
BS. racism and other evils need to be confronted, outed, and rooted out. ignoring them is what allows them to become entrenched and normalized.What I am trying to say is, mind your own business and let things play out.

That is some serious ownage right there. But yes if you post something on a social media network it is not private no matter how "anonymous" you think it is

This is a similar article posted closer to the election -

There was an abundance of hate speech on Twitter after Obama's reelection, with people hurling violent and racial epithets. Many of those tweeters were teenagers whose public Twitter accounts feature their real names and advertise their participation in the sports programs at their respective high schools. Calls were placed to the principals and superintendents of those schools to find out how calling the president—or any person of color, for that matter—a "******" and a "monkey" jibes with their student conduct code of ethics.

that is a pretty weak response....Every time somebody brings up "snitching" people want to say what about (insert crime here). Of course if somebody was getting molested, beaten, murdered, you gotta protect them.
And yes, racist people needs to be called out, but this just seems lame. For all we know, this person running the website could be a douchebag, child molesting, women/men beating, racist, but nobody is calling him out on it.
What I am trying to say is, mind your own business and let things play out.
these other people *could* be doing some bad undisclosed things?? and since theoretically nobody is calling these people out on theoretical bad behavior, those other people shouldn't be called out on OBSERVED bad behavior...? really??

This is just begging for vigilantism.

They are not posting anything that cannot be found with a little internet research anyway...
If you're posting racist crap on the internet, hell, ANYTHING on the internet, you need to understand that you are not invisible and it is very easy to track the source.

I'm all for this, but I do wonder if it makes sense to out minors. I'm glad to not be held accountable for some of the things I did in high school.

I love stuff like this. It makes you realize how insane it is when people say things like "America is a post-racial society."

Yep. Kids are the worst at it too. Kind of makes you wonder if we are going backwards.

If it is on their profile and they are in high school they are fully capable of understanding that what they put can be seen by literally everybody. If they don't want to be outed, make your profile pr ivate or make your post private or don't post it period.

I love people equating racism existing to it being endorsed by society
neither society at large nor the law condones it here

Imagine the potential problems when the HR dept of a potential job googles them too.

Some of these were a bit much... revealing that kid from Missouri's drivers license info? Wait what the hell is a kid born in 1997 doing with a drivers license anyway?
You know what though? **** em. Just **** em. They put this **** out there, they deserve to be publicly humiliated. Would be pretty funny if some of these high schoolers get in trouble with their school or athletic teams because of this.

That's not what he said and you know it.
Re: "Hello There, Racists!" New Tumblr Page Outing People that Made Racist Tweets/FB Statuses After the Election
I'm with you. If you're an adult and posting that kind of nonsense under your own name, you have zero expectation of privacy. I don't see any street addresses listed so it's not an invitation to do them harm. But the high school kids, no, leave them out of it. Some of them definitely deserve consequences for what they wrote but this isn't the way to do it.
