    When you think you're justified in your hatred, you do all kinds of crazy shit.

    Yes, it's bad. Completely not acceptable.

    But this is a 5 year old news story.

    The site, Praag.org, is a South African White Nationalist website.

    And again, this is wrong. Not disagreeing with that but this Praag site is portraying this as something that has happened recently and black on white crime.

    The original article states the victim is biracial.

    Again, this is a bad thing that happened and completely not acceptable.

    But a White Nationalist website dredging up a 5 year old article is not helping the current problems and dialog we are having in this country.

    Here is the original article about this.

    That article didn't say how badly the girl was hurt. She looked like she was getting it pretty bad.

    *shrugs* i have no idea what website praag is nor do i really care.
    Never heard about this until last night when it pop'd up on my facebook.

    I really don't care about the fact the victim is biracial. I'd be just as upset if the victim was black and a biracial white looking person did it.

    I posted this because I'm started to get a little annoyed about being called out all the time due to my skin color. There was a thread recently posted by someone on this forum stating. "white people own your shit".
    If I were to post something similar, but direct it at non-white people. I have my doubts about it not being deleted.
    If you're going to be divisive like Trump. Why shouldn't I be the same way?

    wait, Praag is a white nationalist website?

    Where exactly did you get that link from @H.C. ? That's not really a good look.

    Or, maybe, you could just say "I answered that above" because obviously I posted my comment without seeing your post above.

    Seems like your response to my post is a wee bit more aggressive than my question was. A slight overreaction by your part.

    No, your post VERY CLEARLY made the assumption that I visited a white nationalist website on the daily.
    That I was very familiar with it.
    All the while posting that you had no idea what it was.
    Nevermind the fact that Sly put a link to the NYtimes article.
    You clearly made the assumption. Which got you bit. Don't like it? Don't make the assumption.
    The slight overreaction was making the assumption I knew what praag was. While at the same time not knowing yourself.
    Pound sand.

    How many times shall I repeat myself in slightly different ways before it sinks in?

    Actually, none of what you said was true about my intentions.

    Here's the thing, Sly had stated what the website was and it made me wonder where you got it. I've seen plenty of links doing research for stuff, or on twitter (etc) and they seem dubious. I tend to look into the websites that I link, because it's pretty obvious to tell if one is a solid source or not.

    I asked where you got it. I.e., twitter, email, facebook, and that it's not a good look to be posting it. I had initially posted that if I had found a link to a website that was a white nationalist page, and I had no idea about it, I'd expect some people to ask where I got it.But I deleted it because I figured that was going into too much of a hypothetical situation.


    But since you seem to be telling me to "fuck off" and "pound sand", I'll just say I'm glad I'm not the one posting a link to a white nationalist website.

    Really disturbing thread.....white privilege is real...racism is real and violence and bad behavior doesn't necessarily have anything to do with either of those things but often does. Get woke...there's a big uptick in white supremacist feeds on the net...don't get fooled by them..they'll show you black people behaving badly towards white people....study civil rights and see how we got here dude...your attitude adds nothing to the issue.

    you know you could have just manned up and deleted the feed, apologized and said you weren't aware of it but no....you wanted to take on the forum and play the victim....it's better to own your own shit sometimes...don't ever move to Hawaii...women fight there quite often and they will call you haole….means empty soul.

    That's my thought too (the deleting the original link and replacing it with Sly's, and then putting in a footnote).

    By keeping it in there AND overreacting to my comment, will do exactly what he claims I did. It will make more people question his motives behind the original link.

    Here's a simple template he could utilize

    "Holy shit, I didn't know that was a website from a white nationalist group! Fuck those guys! I guess I should've done a little more digging first. Thanks @SlyPokerDog for providing a better link. I have deleted mine and replaced it with yours. My apologies to the forum for unknowingly providing a link to a racist website. I should hold myself to a higher standard than that".

    But instead, the link is still there, and I was told to fuck off and pound sand when I pointed out it's not a good look. For those in the future who post links that are to white nationalists, unwittingly or not, it's not a good look. Be more diligent in where you provide your links. If the information is on a racist website but also on a non racist website, go with the non racist one.

    It's a very misleading article.

    It starts off with an inflammatory title and then immediately doubles down with a picture of black women protesting in NY that has absolutely nothing to do with the subject of the article.

    Then it has these key words in the article that is also concerning.

    upload_2020-6-28_9-34-5.png

    This article is trying to connect something that was fucked up from 5 years ago to the protests today. The article has nothing to do with the protests, the riots, and it's debatable if race was a factor.

    It's concerning and I don't think that was your intent when you posted it.

    @H.C

    you are anti fake news right?

    If so, then why would you not care about all the misleading points of this article?

    just because the video shows a wrong, we shouldn't just ignore the wrongs of those who are publishing it.
    Seems very hit and miss judgements.

    i mean. If you detest violence, do you not see how the article is falsley portraying an event in a possible attempt to incite more violence?

    how can one be against violence but not care when the news or a media outlet manipulates stories in an attempt to stimulate more violence?
