Forum:Someone is wrong on the Internet

<<< Back to Off Tropic • <<< Back to Forum

While browsing the internets, I came across this site, concerning Martin Luther King Jr. Now, there are many better ways to make a site than this: it's a white-supremacist hub hosted by Stormfront. Let's take a look at its contents:

• The Death of the Dream discusses the idea that he was a sexual deviant, and deserved what happened to him.
• The articles about holidays are even worse. They're directly insulting Jews, Communism, Muslims, and everything else diverse.
• Look at that 'rap lyrics' page. It tries to underline a conspiracy which clearly isn't there.

Now, remind me, why does this terribly racist site exist? Operator XY - (Conversal :: Editations - 7,284 and counting!) 10:16, 25 Arche 2016 (UTC)

No need to complain about the harsh reality of our freedom of speech. Everything has a bad side to it, and the unfortunate right to falsely exploit the supposed life of Martin Luther King Jr. to fulfill a racist-motivated agenda whilst attacking any other religious and political ideologies these racists don't agree with is just something we will have to live with until some people are able to successfully reverse that in some way. Racism is based on the virtually nonexistent concept of race; it's a device used to justify the subjugation of people based on their skin and facial features back in the times of European colonialism. So, in other words, race has no true biological basis, therefore leading us to conclude that race is nothing more but a social construct.

I, too, question the existence of such sites that would attempt to degrade an important civil rights leader. Yes, it was true that the FBI bugged his residence and found out that he had multiple affairs with his wife, but it is in the nature of racists/white supremacist simpletons to exaggerate details in a slanderous manner. I just wish the people who run that site could have their First Amendment rights overruled by their actions, which would then lead to that website being taken down. This can then be done to other websites and thus lower the influence of racism on the internet (excluding social media). Wishful thinking, innit?

So, in sum, this website exists because 1.) the person(s) running the website have their right to speech protected by the First Amendment and 2.) the person(s) running the site are trying to persuade people who aren't too informed on MLK to see this supposedly morally corrupt black man who really isn't the great civil right leader we see him as.

I hope I cleared some stuff up for you.

The site states he was a communist. Now what's wrong with that?! Operator XY - (Conversal :: Editations - 7,284 and counting!) 13:04, 27 Arche 2016 (UTC)

It's time to declare a war on Racism. --(AMB) (XAR) (BKYE) Sophia, The Resident Uncyclopedia Deity (talk) 17:52, 27 Arche 2016 (UTC)

The site seems to rely solely on Wikipedia for its stuff.this is an example. 20:33, 27 Arche 2016 (UTC)
