Kanye is back on Twitter & if Trump isn't about to get indicted he'd be back on too. I get Elon's desire to have decentralized moderating where users collectively moderate, but this is what we have in society and it doesn't work as we clearly see. Conspiracies, hate crimes skyrocketed under Trump, his words reverberated out and affected those who were looking for something else to believe in. Everything we think, feel, say and do reverberates out and affects everyone else, but that doesn't mean what Elon seems to think - that we'll not turn into a hellscape - the "n" word already went up 500% in the first hour he took over. And anti-semite Kanye is back. Humans haven't shown the desire to moderate themselves into harmony. So, we need restrictions, rules, limitations on what is free speech and though we have them we back away from hate speech - why? Thank you for this article, I agree with you - well said!TWJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298903804083813300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257057499321613697.post-53051755630634890112020-07-14T17:33:27.731-07:002020-07-14T17:33:27.731-07:00Mr. Boykins,

The issue at hand is race relations and this is my response and thought process regarding the rash of senseless killings that have gripped out nation.<br />The reality is that white people are part of society and therefore some are part of the problem. Ask any African American who were adults just a generation ago and they would agree.<br />Getting our people together for one common cause has not occurred since we banded together to claim our civil rights in the 60's. Maybe it's time to have history repeat itself.J L Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903856941314493631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257057499321613697.post-51538543182415359692016-07-10T18:14:35.084-07:002016-07-10T18:14:35.084-07:00while I understand the focus on WHITE people I thi...while I understand the focus on WHITE people I think it is the WRONG focus = they believe they are RIGHT about us. We kill more of us than anyone else. Black churches have failed us-our men are seen as weak-unable to control their own communities. Every time you try to explain to a white person what the problem is between them and us- you are saying THEY alone have the power to fix it. FIX us. Then why should God listen to us?Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12701948323112407141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257057499321613697.post-10625454915805112442016-07-08T14:38:37.745-07:002016-07-08T14:38:37.745-07:00Powerful piece.Powerful piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478405389818814388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257057499321613697.post-18534408259246356762016-07-08T14:38:29.041-07:002016-07-08T14:38:29.041-07:00Powerful piece.Powerful piece.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478405389818814388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257057499321613697.post-68431104518525581752015-08-05T15:56:52.775-07:002015-08-05T15:56:52.775-07:00Excellent information!Excellent information!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784646054644902874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4257057499321613697.post-44740626844794236992013-10-29T00:03:05.769-07:002013-10-29T00:03:05.769-07:00The Man-ual thoroughly addresses topics that are o...The Man-ual thoroughly addresses topics that are overlooked in the average self-help book.
