Eye on the world: Silencing racism
In “Why so much blatant racism is bubbling to the surface” The Christian Science Monitor reports on the tenor of the conversation about race in the United States. The Monitor writes, “Racist speech is accompanied by an emboldening of white supremacist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan—which grew from 72 chapters in 2014 to 190 last year, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.” The First Amendment right to free speech, coupled with platforms on the internet for everyone to project their voice (sometimes anonymously), the current conversation is “forcing the most entrenched forms of racism to the surface in new ways. While shocking to some to hear, the outbursts give a more accurate portrayal of how much further America needs to go to heal race relations.” However, “recent examples of blatant racism have been met by swift public condemnation. Americans, on the whole, remain firmly intolerant of intolerance.”
