Comments on: Social Media: Changing the way we talk about race and justice? http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/social-media-changing-the-way-we-talk-about-race-and-justice/ Coming of Age Online Wed, 19 Oct 2016 13:07:17 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.9.26 By: abwrubel http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/social-media-changing-the-way-we-talk-about-race-and-justice/#comment-278 Thu, 19 Feb 2015 20:15:45 +0000 http://miriamposner.com/dh150w15/?p=824#comment-278 The idea of the super publics, I think, is a bit contrived. I do think that the idea of the super publics does and can exist, an existence only made possibly by the Internet. However, I do feel as if it isn’t as much of a hard truth as it has been made out to be. The appeal of the internet is its ability to create small niche communities for people’s online personas to exist and interact in. These confined digital spaces definitely limit greater online visibility and transparency, thus enforcing a sort of online segregation. Since people are bound or attracted to others on a basis of familial relation, geographical placement, or interests, the internet really doesn’t act, to the extent to which some think it might, as a self-critical space keeping individuals in line. I believe that, yes, there are moments when the super public does come into play, but these are only a few select moments. The super public acts only when boundaries separating these niche communities are crossed.

Now more than ever, people can call out others for being racist. Racist acts on the internet have the potential for becoming virally known, and the impact of the criticism that brings is enough for anyone to see their wrong. These things make others aware of what is racist, giving others who were once ignorant a new perspective on the way they interact with different people in society. The internet brings awareness, which leads to self evaluation, which can prompt individual change for the better.

This goes back to the concept of public, you have to be so careful in cyperspace. But I mean the Internet today exists at such a disconnected, yet at the same time more connected than ever before. People sit behind a device, and try to comprehend from afar what the other is attempting to say, but everything is so easily skewed and digested in a way is not controlled. Its kind of a bittersweet thing or what I like to call a beautiful diaster lol. So many oppurtunities to become educated and open, but also oppurtunities to misconstrue and offend.
