The Ugly

This is the worst of the worst. Racism has been around for thousands of years and is sadly still around today. If your'e not familiar with what has been going on in Baltimore this is a quick rundown. An African-American man was arrested on false charges of having a switch blade and was taking into custody. During the process the man was treated poorly by 6 police officers and sustained injuries in his spine. The reports show that the policemen denied the man medical attention and later on he died. Riots emerged due to this tragedy and most of the civil movements were non violent. As things stirred up and got worse there was a break out of violent riots and looting. In this article it talks about a white supremacist group who went online on social media sites such as twitter and posed as black males who looted. They posted photos with stereotypical captions to draw blame for looting to the African-American population.  This is as bad as the internet gets. People like this who are hateful and judgmental is the reason there is no peace on earth. If people could learn to except each other and allow everyone the freedom to do whatever they want then we would live in a much positive world. Since this utopia does not exist there are still small groups that are trying to drag the nation down. Although a little off topic, a quote on racism I love comes from the movie "42" about Jackie Robinson. When the manager is talking to another manager that is refusing to take the field against Robinson because he is black, the manager says, "someday you're gonna meet God, and when he inquires as to why you didn't take the field against Robinson in Philadelphia, and you answer that it's because he was a Negro, it may not be a sufficient reply!" There is no need for more racism in our society, and these online "trolls" are not doing any good. 

The article I used seems to be reliable. The article is on a website that is one of the most successful blog oriented sites. The author does a good job using examples for every point he makes to support his thesis. He shows some of the posts that were made from fake accounts. The author is not very professional because he does not give credentials nor does he speak in a censored manner. I still believe the article is valid because it does not take much background information to be able to speak about this and the author does a good job doing it.
