    Default Racist Facebook page under investigation

    Racist Facebook page under investigation

    AAP
    8Aug12


    Boxer Anthony Mundine says it is "appalling" that Facebook has refused to remove the page so far. He is also upset because Facebook tolerates hate-mongering but refuses to allow mothers to post images of themselves breastfeeding their babies.



    THE media watchdog is investigating a complaint about a Facebook group featuring racially abusive jokes and comments about indigenous people.
    "The ACMA is currently investigating specific URLs that contain the online content ... after receiving a complaint yesterday," an ACMA spokeswoman said in a statement.
    "The ACMA is not is a position to provide further comment at this time given that an investigation is under way."
    More than 4000 people have subscribed to the site, which portrays Aboriginal people as drunks who sniff petrol and bludge on welfare.
    It also recently added the words "Controversial Humor" (sic) to its title.
    Race Discrimination Commissioner Helen Szoke said if people felt offended by the page they could also complain to the Australian Human Rights Commission.
    "In the last three years we have had an increasing number of complaints which related to cyber racism," Dr Szoke told AAP.
    "I have had a look at the images, and I do think they're quite insulting to Aboriginal people.
    "There's a tipping point between humour and even controversial humour and material that's just offensive and just insulting."
    Dr Szoke said young people needed to be more educated about the harm that could be caused by misusing social media.
    Organisations like Facebook needed stricter standards, she added.
    SBS reports the site was created and is maintained by a 16-year-old Perth boy.
    Indigenous boxer Anthony Mundine had joined a group of Australians supporting a campaign condemning Facebook over its claims that the page is not considered hate speech, Fairfax reports.

    If people are offended by the page, just don't look at it! If the page in question is so offensive, than they needn't worry that decent folks will take an interest in it.

    I have a feeling that there is probably a great deal of 'ugly truth' involved here, which is the real motivation behind the complaints.

    I cannot see or read the page. I have been banned from Facebook for my political ideology in association with A3P. I have the legal paperwork filled out, just trying to find the time and funds to file a court date.

    Why does he want mothers to post pictures of themselves breastfeeding?


    The rule makes sense to me.

    One thing is just a harmless opinion about another genetic pool while the other is is exposing themselves to strangers and putting themselves at risk from perverts.... like himself?

    You'd think that a rough-and-tumble boxer like Mundine would not be bothered by such things...

    Facebook Removes Racist Memes Page Following User Uproar - Yahoo! News

    Facebook removed the page due to popular demand.
    Adapt and overcome or be stagnant and perish.

    Sticks and stones may break my bones but the word racist will never hurt me.

    A lot of Australian humour is offensive. There was that time when Penny Wong spoke in Parliament and Julia Gillard did that catclaw action with her hand and meowed - that means "being catty". Now, Penny Wong is Asian, was Gillard being racist, or just plain stupid?
    Generally, the compiled stats of Gillard action says "stupid"

    If you are White and like your own race that is ok. Hating others is a low toned emotion.
