angelina jolie interviewed by ann curry --



and i found a comment on youtube below that video, which sort of astounded me. "every other continent on the planet>africa. so that= blacks being pretty much worthless. all they do is kill each other and spread aids. maybe they should try rising on their own feet with out the help of white people for once."

i didn't think people could have such thoughts without feeling like horrible mean freaks, much less brazenly put them on a website.

Haha your post interested me because the Economist recently ran a survey of new media which is increasingly participatory, since many of us write in blogs, rate movies etc. Anyway what's most comforting is that amidst the lacklustre material and even outright bigotry like what you mentioned, we do have genuine insight and knowledge creation, like with the open-source community, Wikipedia and brilliant blogs like Yawning Bread. There are all kinds of people out there... but back to your point, it's quite scary that some of those we meet may shroud their closet psychoses in the anonymity of the Internet.
