People's racist Facebook comments are ending up on billboards near their homes - GoFuckYourself.com

Racist commenters beware: Your words might show up in your own backyard.

A new campaign in Brazil is plastering billboards with racist Facebook comments. The point is not to expose anyone but to educate people that their words have a real impact.

The campaign, "Virtual racism, real consequences," is using the location tag from Facebook posts to find where the offenders live. The group is then buying billboard space in their neighborhoods, but blurring out the names and photos of the commenters.

The comment roughly translates to "I got home stinking of black people." "Preto" is an offensive way to say "black" in Portuguese, compared to "negro," which is neutral.

Behind the project is the Criola group, a nonprofit that works to defend the rights of black women in Brazil.

The campaign was prompted after Brazilian journalist Maria Júlia Coutinho was targeted by racist Facebook comments online. Coutinho, the first black weather forecaster on Brazilian prime-time television, corrected another anchor on air in July. When another news site praised her for getting the terminology correct, Facebook commenters responded with a torrent of comments against everything from her hair to her race.

The offensive comments range from telling her to "go f--- herself" to saying her nickname "Maju" made it clear she was from Africa.

The project is republishing those comments as a reminder that virtual bullying can have an impact in the real world.

"We omit names and faces of the authors because we have no intention of exposing anyone. We just want to educate people so that in future they think about the consequences before posting racist comments," the project says.

Which race is he allegedly "baiting" with this thread? Shouldn't this story draw at least mild interest from a general cross section of people, regardless of race?

poncabare specifically asked BM if *this* is another one of BM's race baiting threads. I simply asked poncabare which race he suspects BM is baiting with *this* thread.

He baits all races with this thread.
All races should come in and argue about "racism" (hot topic brining in thread bumps) bumping his thread and sig monies.

If he is baiting all races, and thus baiting everyone that reads his post, then it's not a race-baiting thread...given that by definition, a race-bait presumes one race, or particular group of people, is baited.

OP didnt get memo whats happening at US college. If this happened in USA, there would be massive trail of tears coming out of students, whose safe space was violated. the crying woman at yale would lose her mind.

& the media would blame trump.

Please shut the fuck up. You know what brasshat is doing all the time. It's in the goddamn thread title:
People's racist facebook comments

All he does is post racial related threads and gruesome death stories. Which category is this one you think?

j3rkules · 12-01-2015, 05:39 AM

At least, not under your own name.

slapass · 12-01-2015, 05:55 AM

Cool idea. I am constantly surprised what people will say on the internet.

Racist commenters beware: Your words might show up in your own backyard.

A new campaign in Brazil is plastering billboards with racist Facebook comments. The point is not to expose anyone but to educate people that their words have a real impact.

The campaign, "Virtual racism, real consequences," is using the location tag from Facebook posts to find where the offenders live. The group is then buying billboard space in their neighborhoods, but blurring out the names and photos of the commenters.

The comment roughly translates to "I got home stinking of black people." "Preto" is an offensive way to say "black" in Portuguese, compared to "negro," which is neutral.

Behind the project is the Criola group, a nonprofit that works to defend the rights of black women in Brazil.

The campaign was prompted after Brazilian journalist Maria Júlia Coutinho was targeted by racist Facebook comments online. Coutinho, the first black weather forecaster on Brazilian prime-time television, corrected another anchor on air in July. When another news site praised her for getting the terminology correct, Facebook commenters responded with a torrent of comments against everything from her hair to her race.

The offensive comments range from telling her to "go f--- herself" to saying her nickname "Maju" made it clear she was from Africa.

The project is republishing those comments as a reminder that virtual bullying can have an impact in the real world.

"We omit names and faces of the authors because we have no intention of exposing anyone. We just want to educate people so that in future they think about the consequences before posting racist comments," the project says.
