RE: Ignorance?!

in #steemit7 years ago

Yeah, there is a lot of racial rhetoric on Minds that I don't care for myself. However, in this day and age I think it's important to have a censorship free platform. Free speech in this day & age is extremely important and extremely rare. Unfortunately we don't always agree with what the other person might say. There's no excuse for racial ignorance, but we have a choice to follow those people or not. I think what's more alarming is the fact that eventually, because of the "free speech" issue, the site will end up on the Southern Poverty Law Center's list of sites that promote hate speech, or some terrorist watch list or something ridiculous like that. This I consider to be censorship through fear and control. These are interesting times to be alive to say the least. Keep fighting the good fight my friend!

Thanks a lot Dood. I keep my head up and try to do what's right. I do appreciate free speech, but it can be so frustrating when there is such ignorance in this world. Makes me want to do something about it...educate the masses or become part of something that will help those that really are uninformed. Thanks for taking the time to read and reply!
