Racism evident behind some US social media

[Dooby]

1. Yes.. Social Media and the Internet brings out more racism in people

People feel more emboldened on the internet so yes you see more racism. However, the racism I often see on YouTube and other sites is alarming. People so casually use the "N" word and there seems to be quite a bit of hostility towards black people still. This should be a wakeup call to blacks that just because people don't scream the "N" word at them openly like they use to a lot of that sentiment is still there. BTW, I am black and live in Dallas, TX. I have been called the "N" word several times in my life. Once by a white boss (to my face), once by a white guy I attended high school with (and he referred to all of the blacks at the highschool as the N word) and several times when I worked in retail here in Dallas by white customers who would come into the store to buy things. Or they would say Monkey, or something similar.

This is very unfortunate but it is what it is.
