Fucking news websites with comment sections, you really get to see how ignornant and mean-spirited people truely are. Take this entry on AOL News:
http://news.aol.com/article/good-samaritan-in-richmond-gang-rape/755514?icid=main|aim|dl1|link2|http%3A%2F%2Fnews.aol.com%2Farticle%2Fgood-samaritan-in-richmond-gang-rape%2F755514A highschool girl in California gets raped with tons of people watching and it took someone coming home telling their mother and said mother calling the police to get it reported.
That's bad enough but here's the comments that followed. People went to town turning the article political and racial:
"America is turning into a Third World country. We already have our Third World leader in place."
"This is what happens when Democrats have children--anything goes--except of course for being responsible and accountable for one's actions..."
"50 years ago Richmond California wasn't a Ghetto. It was White middle class."
"Why isn't Shaprton there or Jackson defending this poor woman??? Because she was rapped by brothers and not white college boys who were innocent? The double standard is terrible! They will probably show up at their trail telling sob stories about how they were poor, misunderstood young boys!!!!"
"No one sees the oxymoron in calling an 18 year-old mother a "Good Samaratin." She's a skank, at best"
"It sounds like the primates got wild again. Not the first time & not the last."
"This is what happens when you allow the scum of the earth across your borders. They just breed more scum, and in time, they infiltrate and completely destroy your society and your nation. The same thing happened to Rome."
And thus I'm about to give up on not just the United States, but on humanity as well. It's hopeless, the world is never going to be anything other then hateful and stupid. And sure, maybe it's just trolls, but even so... it just shows how "cool" it is to spout hatefull things without thinking. I especially love how everyone is quick to judge the rapists as all blacks and hispanics and quick to call the entirety of both racists wild animals... yet the commenters seem guilty of the same thing.
This is what we are, it is why my country is a mess. It's not the recession or any politician out there. It is us, and I am ashamed.
