• 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 #

• 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 #

• 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 #

• 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 #
