Racist memes spread after false claims that immigrants kill and eat pets.
- Thread starter Father Heathen
- Start date
Most people aren't aware of the history from 2016 and the tropes about Mexicans that were put out there by (now President) Trump and the Trump serving media. Which is all of them are even the leftist ones. Someone on the other side of the ocean is not going to instantly dismiss Vance's claim -- who is the current opposition nominee for VP. Its reasonable for Rival to consider it as a proposition. She's not a voter here and merely wants to consider what is being said by a potential leader of the USA.
@Father Heathen -
Indeed, that bad faith can work in both directions. But so could good faith.
Step back and think about making a request for a citation or example. The requestor is assuming a couple of things:
1 - that THEY are somehow the arbiter of what's common knowledge and what's not
2 - that the claim maker is operating in bad faith.
This is orthogonal to critical thinking.

A potential leader known for lying, racism and xenophobia.
The claim maker is acting in bad faith if there is no evidence to support the claim but it gets repeated as truth anyways.

It's not about "common knowledge", but rather my knowledge. When presented with new information, I like to ensure that it's credible and sunstantiated before accepting it.
To be fair you've made some BS claims in the past, hence my skepticism.

I agree, however....
Haitians are Caribbean, not South American as the post being debated states.
Absolutely exaggeration is taking place and the RW is making it appear to be appalling even though that's not the issue.
Chickens and the protection of the bill of rights to practice one's religion is ADDED commentary to an issue already inflamed.
Why assume this is not known? If the poster knows it, why wouldn't the majority of Americans know it?
See, this post is about South Americans using chickens for religious practice. I don't know about South Americans specifically, but yes, chickens used for religious practices is a fact supported by the US Constitution under proper guidelines.
But the current issue at hand is the misinformation concerning Caribbeans in an OH town stealing and eating their neighbors pets. This additional spin just adds fuel to the fire.

Haitians stealing amd eating cats and dogs is just as real as the stories of immigrants in Sri Lanka hidding sterility drugs in food and drinks to distribute to the majority group. Amd social .media fueled amd spread both. And violence erupted in Sri Lank over these lies.

We are not talking about chickens but cats and dogs.
And, by the way, Haiti is Caribbean, not African. This is why your claims are illogical because they do not follow the claims being made but rather introducing these things that aren't a part of it and shifting goal posts to say well, it could be happening. You even shifted continents in an attempt to salvage a lie.

The first example seems credible to me so far, I linked to it earlier, but I believe the second example has been debunked.
But what about the predominate case in which there is evidence? Why is it on the claim maker to educate the skeptic?
As a show of good faith I'll give you two names. Both of these people have made very successful careers pretending that racism is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. They've got best selling books that have sold hundreds of thousands of copies and they've gone on speaking tours and on and on:

The person who took the photo is debunking the rumor:
"The photographer said his original intention was to document a weird thing he saw while driving in Columbus, and he was taken by surprise when the internet repurposed his photo for misinformation.
“I don’t remember anybody commenting anything about race, or immigration status or anything else at the time that I posted the picture,” the photographer said. “I hate that picture that I took is being used as a weapon … I kind of hate that I even took the picture.”
He noted that he got in contact with an online image theft protection service to try and issue takedown notices for the unlicensed use of his photo. Alongside users on X reposting the picture, the photographer used a reverse image search to find it next to an AI-generated graphic on InfoWars. The right-wing conspiracy website drew widespread attention when Alex Jones alleged the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, and is facing shutdown thanks to its host’s bankruptcy proceedings.

An observation would entail something you have first hand knowledge of. You assumed I was "miffed" and unless you are now going to pretend to be a telepath was not an observation.
You assumed I cared in any way that you spent all that time on a pointless task.
The reality is I actually felt sorry for you that you have so little else going on in your life that you were willing to spend your time investigating the race of anyone making comments on this.
and your comment on "the conversation just graduated to a level that you're not comfortable with." seems to be baes on your insistence that I said that that only white people are concerned about this. Again something I never said but you can always quote me and show that I am wrong.

it was this very photo he was referencing as "proof" of his claim even though this pictures was not taken in Springfield and showed a man carrying a Canadian Goose....that had not been decapitated.

if they are posting something racist on the internet it is not a thought it is active communication and in legal terms hate speech
"Hate speech" is nothing but a thought/speech control concept. It's Orwellian garbage. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment so legally there's no such thing as "hate speech".
