Anti racism or pro racism - People of facebook, do not support racism

Recently many people are making videos featuring explicit contents of racism. For sure, people who lit the fire of racism is the worst, they are the people who don't realise that we all are just a bunch of living things on a lonely planet which is in a universe gazillion times bigger than it (isn't that a good reason for all of us to stay together in unison and peace??? even if it's not in a global level, at least in a nation, we should ditch the hatred... I can talk about unity and hatred for the whole day but back to the topic...) But seriously, Malaysia is not exactly a developed country, many places are still very poor, can we afford just one more negative issue to cripple our development??

We know that it's not good to start these 'racism rally' and youbook isn't exactly helping. With youbook, these 'rallies' spread like wildfire. BUT, one irony that I find recently is people in facebook sharing these 'videos of hatred'( Now one thing here is that I want you guys to be clear that people who started this and the people who are spreading this might or might not be the same people, I’m sure you guys are not the one who start this but spreading it is nothing you should be proud of either). Supposedly, these people who had shared the videos thinks they are anti-racism; but what they don't realise is that by sharing these videos, they are actually helping those who had started the racism issue to spread their message. Not only that, they are also involving their facebook friend in this hatred and doesn't anyone notice that this adds to the snowball effect of the racism rally (and yes, in my opinion, believe it or not there is a rally happening right now, in the digital world, war has gone to a whole new era huh@@)???

I can tell all of you that I am anti-racism and I know what the situation is like in Malaysia; we joke about other races and I'm sure if one race jokes, other races joke too. Jokes are fun, but if these words that come out from what supposedly are jokes became tools of hatred and racism, then it's not fun anymore.. I know that people have dignity, that all the different ethnics have dignity, but people have to realise the power of facebook, it’s not as private as you think it is; if you are angry, there are many ways to express yourself, but I’m pretty sure spreading racism videos isn’t one of them.

Ok, now to the question, ‘if like this cannot, then what is correct le?? What you want us to do about it???’ I know I am not a revolutionist or some clever guy from ancient Greece and I might not have the stand here to tell people what to do; but what I know is that this phenomena going on in facebook now is not a good sign and I’m sure that some people will agree with me.. So now let me ask you guys who think you’ve done nothing wrong, ‘If you think that doing this is the right cause, then where do you think this is heading???’ ~~Action -> consequence~~ What do you think will happen next?? A massive swirl of hatred brewing in our nation, and what is even scarier is that it’s brewing in the pot of where most of us a dwell every day, our beloved facebook.

I’m not trying to scare you guys here but I think it’s really happening, the end of the world. If no asteroid is going a million miles an hour toward earth and the skin of the earth is not shifting towards one another; then we will kill each other, eventually. Now I can hear: ‘Aiya, where got so serious, talk only ma???’ What I’m trying to say here people are often ignorant about small problems and deliberately let them to snowball into a big problem. The world is a place of chaos according to Murphy’s Law, coupled with the Butterfly Effect, we are really heading for something big here. So don’t provoke the world until it retaliates, even if there’s nothing physical happening. We might only feel it in our heart at the moment, the hatred, the fury; but if we don’t attempt to find a way out of or around this, very soon we might feel it on our candy asses…

Racism or not, one random tiny event MIGHT trigger a race war, whether purposely or accidently. Not all people are open-minded, some people really mind on what other people said to a specific race. Do be careful on your words against people. You don't want to be the victim/cause of the war.
