Stone cold ignorance

The vulgar, ignorant, and heartless comments that I have seen on twitter have truly saddened me. Examples:

I don't think ANYONE should Help Haiti. A country filled with FRENCH speaking black people? I don't give a fuck!

I wish George Bush was still president, he'd know how to handle Haiti the right way...ignore it! <333>#fuckhaiti


If you're all going to yell at me can you not speak in ebonics? I can't understand your crazy ghetto language! lol #fuckhaiti


Seriously black people disgust me. why would i help haiti now? they deserve it for all you monkeys do to white america.

I'm off to Church! Have to thank God for the blessings he has given the world this past week<3

And people said racism was over because Obama was elected.

I elected not to put up usernames because at the end of the day it doesn't matter who say these things; this mentality goes so much deeper than an individual person. It's disheartening to know that, in the face of millions losing their lives, loved ones, and possessions, people find humor and validation to such comments, that they think it's ok.

At the same time it's beautiful to see people donating both money and time to aid those affected. It's things like that that give me hope.

  1. Like YouTube, Twitter really brings out the worse in some people. It's best to ignore, as much as possible. They only write such things for reaction.

    Yes. It's beautiful to see people respond in the name of humanity.
