- Introduction of panel @ the moment. More information about the panel at http://snurl.com/duxxr #
- What this panel is not: Racism 101, Does racism exist? What the panel is: Experiences with social. What can we do with social media re: race #
- Ques: What was your favorite racist moment online? (Asked to panel) #
- kety: wecanstopthehate.org. lots of responses to the org. lot of hate mail. exp’d a case that was prosecuted by fbi. attacked by hannity #
- want to get involved? start with nclr.org #
- jay: each racist moment is like a snowflake. every youtube comment section is a blizzard #
- jay: social media is a great tool for the institutions to know more about you. *shows a jay video #
- link to video:http://snurl.com/duych #
- latoya: finds that communities like being attacked. shocked at the number of links into white supremicists sites. leaving detailed cmnts #
- latoya: we cover any group (transgender, persions, etc.) introducting ideas from different groups is hard. also get racialized sexism #
- latoya: the sheer volume of what comes in makes you sometimes think ‘how bad is it really out there’ #
- phil: chose the title for provocative nature. i dont like allow comments on my site b/c f*ck cmnts. not going to embolden anonymous haters #
- phil: received a lot of hate mail. did a post on the anatomy of hate mail. (dude just got brolic) #
- side note: angry asian man is THAT dude #
- kety: do we want to open up comments in our new ventures? pros and cons. open up debate, engagement or allow crazies to leave b.s. #
- kety: if people are reacting to you and investing time to say b.s., then you must be doing good work. wear it as a badge of honor #
- phil: answering the question: no, social media itself will NOT end racism. however, creating communities will help create a new racism, … #
- latoya: there is no button that will stop racism. no one tool. we can use social media to reach out #
- jay: no. asking anything that can end this one thing is counter to history and human nature. counter-acting racism is like brushing ur teeth #
- there won’t be a time at any given moment that tells you to stop brushing ur teeth #
- kety: social media is a new space. we can acknowledge the opportunity to ask ‘what are we going to do w/ this new media’ #
- kety: if you don’t do something different, then you will get more of the same. not easy, not simple. big challenges. keep your eye on hope #
- kety: if social media is a new space, then lets fight to make it what we want it to be, to fight all of the -isms #
- kety: keep in mind who is at the table and who are the owners. provide a seat for all voices. i am idealistic. we can have hope #
- phil: i write to convince my community that racism exists. AA are largely apathetic #
- via @swirlspice: Social Media can help end racism by 1) spreading knowledge, 2) creating refuge, 3) mobilizing. #racesxsw #

- jay: be mindful when talking to people about race. not every convo can be racism 101. dont’ take it personal #
- jay: best thing about social media is that every conversation creates a document, so you can find it later #
- latoya: 2nd pillar: creating a refuge – not our responsibility to explain to whomever, in their terms, under their understanding, abt race #
- latoya: social media can provide an archive for them to look it up on their own #
- latoya: for gamers, the isis (or iris) space is a refuge to talk about race #
- The Iris Gaming Network: subverting status quo one gamer at a time http://snurl.com/dv045 #
- kety: Pro Migrant sanctuary http://promigrant.org/ #
- kety: used promigrant.org as a platform to get prez. candidates on record their stance on latino / latina issues #
- kety: correction, used a questionnaire formulated through and by bloggers who use promigrant.org #
- RT @HopeChat: but don’t we have 2 face the reverse is true. social media can B used as a tool of racism as well. #
- latoya: mobilizing – take a local issue and put it in the national consciousness. jena 6, colorofchange.org, etc. work through smaller chan #
- The Tsunami Song controversy http://snurl.com/dv0oi #
- jay: i took a clip of song and asked the hip hop community (via my blog, okp) #
- jay: the controversy brought people together, including hiphop community and AA community #
- phil: when i get something like that, i post the addresses of the perps, their advertisers, etc #
- jay: its easiest for us to push something when you have a piece of provocative media attached to the issue. pros and cons for that approach #
- questions time #
- Ques: As public policy discussion moves online (re: govt. interaction), would u recommend moderation, self-police community, keep com? #
- Ans: How diverse are your moderators? The tone you put forth is the tone you’ll get back. #
- kety: be conscious of inviting a spectrum of people that represent the community you are trying to impact #
- ques: roots of racism are different in diff. countries. how do you deal with cross-nation, cross-culture racism despite the lack of history? #
- ans: no quick answer, but good point. impt to define your terms. american racism is diff. than non-american racism #
- jay: on an intl. level, the question of ‘what is race’ is deeper #
- latoya: i’ll open a thread on racialicious.com to get more thoughts since the issues is so large, considering intl. def. of racism #
- kety: we should also push this to be a panel for sxsw 2010 #
- ques: will you consider defining the historical def. of racisms since it has evolved across generations #
- ans: no ‘real way’ to define it. racism has institutionalized arms. lots of questions. lots of arenas. encourage people to continue the … #
