Racism in Social Media

 

Model Jessica Leandra dos Santos posted a racist tweet. 

Social networks are there for people to share whats on their minds, to share ideas and important information Though that is the case there are issues that people should first think about before they post. Racism is one of the major issues that social networks are facing all over the world. People tend to post racist posts on social networks which is a major issue in the new South Africa and the rest of the world. There is a number of racist posts that people have posted on almost all social networking sites. Majority of these posts are racial hatred posts

One of the racist posts that made people talking was of a 20 year old model Jessica Leandra dos Santos who posted on her twitter, her tweet read: "Just well took on an arrogant and disrespectful k***** inside spar. Should have punched him, should have." When this young model made an apology about this issue she said that she was very angry at this guy who was throwing sexual harrasing comments to her. Another racist post was of a Cape Town student who posted a status on Facebook, he said had heard enough of blacks and that whites do not own them anything, he also referred to black people as F***ing   brain dead monkeys.



Racism in Social Media

 Though everyone knows that they can write about anything that they want on their social networks, the reason for these sites are to help people get connected and share ideas and information. Some people tend to post statuses before they even consider what other people will think. I will advise people to think before they post anything.
