With current United States laws we cannot threaten anyone personally without facing
issues with the law. An answer to why people go on the internet and act racist would be simple,
because they can get away with it. There are no laws that prohibit anyone from saying
anything on the internet. Another reason why people go on the internet is that they can hide their identity and
be "anonymous", no one would ever find out that they are racist if they want
other people to find out.
In the real world many people are afraid to express their racist feelings because
they do not feel they will have support or they might also think that they will be looked at differently from their
co-workers, friends or families. As mentioned before in the past the ways to distribute information on racism
was limited and more difficult. If someone wanted to show their support for racist views and passes out
flyers, the people that would actually get those flyers would be limited. This leads to another reason why people act racist on the internet,
they can get their views out to millions and millions of people. There are blogs and endless websites to act racist.
Below are a few sites to visit to get better examples of blogs.
