Not a lot of real world analysis (that’s not a priori) that I could find specifically on race, but here’s one regarding this issue but with prejudice against transgender:

It’s also enabled everyone to see cultures and ways of life they would never be able to before. People can share their differences and traditions more openly too. Knowing more about cultures, practices and different people is what opens doors to not being racist
You’re forgetting that we have technology that connects most of the world now, even across languages. This definitely changes things.
But it sounds like you’d prefer to live under a government like the CCP. That way you don’t have to worry anymore because they’ll take care of everything for you
You’re asking me to predict the future, maybe it doesn’t happen. Maybe 1 lifetime? Maybe 2?
Who knows, but all we can do in the meantime is continue to actually talk with people caught in the storm.
If the government tries to force speech, what do you think that will do? Do you think everyone will say “oh ok”, and just quietly live out their lives at home in resentment or in prison for this never to return?
It’s a bandaid to a problem where we’re just supposed to trust that governments will always use this power correctly
Why do you trust powerful governments so much?
Racism isn’t an implicit call to violence. Violence is one of the ways it can manifest if it’s deranged enough, but most racism is just sorta quiet and often unconscious.
It’s not a good idea for the government tell you what you’re allowed to say - that change has to come naturally from the bottom up, not artificially from the top down
That’s exactly how I’d expect a government to use this. It’s not a good path
If it’s free from a for profit company, you’re most likely the product
It’s not so much what their interpretation is of the specific article is, it’s more that you might find more information from someone who has info that was left out, or maybe another source that has conflicting information.
Could you show us a few not so biased news sources? I suppose this will also vary wildly by topic. A news outlet might be narrative/propaganda driven on one topic, but not about another.
It’s so much mess (through corporate ties or money) to sort through, it’s hard to trust any of them anymore
Yeah, what a horrible headline lol.
It’s about Facebook allegedly stopping it’s streaming service to keep one of its largest ad revenue customers happy (Netflix), but also that court docs were unsealed in an anti trust suit, and Facebook may have agreements with Spotify and Netflix, to allow them to read users DM’s (no idea why that’s relevant but yeah, fuck Facebook! Lol)
It’s very speculative though and may not be true. Not that it’d surprise me if it were true either though…
🤷 Does anyone here even use Facebook?
Sometimes there’s good discussion though, and it’s good to hear different takes.
Having comments also gives less power to the writer, like could you imagine if we all took Fox News or CNN headlines at face value and didn’t discuss them?
Either they’re not Chinese or they don’t look further than 1 comment deep
This is how I know there’s upvote bots rolling through here.
Who tf on Lemmy commends Facebook…for anything?
My favorite part are the upvoters - the ones who didn’t think twice but saw “yeah fuck anti vaxxers!” and put in zero thought
I’ve even gotten up votes since after you deleted the comment. I swear this place is mostly bots
I think the nut job here is the one calling people nut jobs about a vaccine that doesn’t exist
Thank you for providing a rational answer
Asking for ID during an election is the “putting salt/rocks” on the road.
It’s not the equivalent of ripping out the entire road
Is the state checking citizenship when it’s mailing the ballot back to the claimed resident?
How does it do that without ID?
I’ve never been in a car accident, but I still have insurance and put on a seatbelt. Precautions, ya know?
By your election logic, I’ve been good for 20+ years and shouldn’t need either of those
This is so pedantic it hurts. I don’t know how to dumb this down any further. You win, racism will never end and let’s just put everyone in jail. Enjoy!
