Human decency continues to worsen in Humboldt and the mob mentality goes unaddressed with Michael Winkler being attacked by the NAACP for speaking up for freedom of speech.
Jim Wood being attacked for not being progressive enough.
If the NAACP does not call out LOCO on their racist drivel, then they are hypocrites. Call out all racist comments not just selective ones and selective people.
There are racist and other hateful comments on other sites too, I saved them. You know
Why do casinos in the area advertise on LOCO and why do advertisers support other sites that regularly denigrate Native Americans?
Why do businesses advertise on LOCO when there are hateful comments on African -American, Latino and even whites, all unmoderated? Never called out except by another commenter.
It isn't the alway's the white man's fault. Racist comments against whites are racist.
The business, community, political leaders in this community do what they do best: ignore, be silent and allow those who do speak the truth to suffer financially and personally.
Businesses advertise on the LOCO because people read it. The articles are, for the most part, well written and informative. If readers wish to avoid the unmoderated comments they are free to do so. I think they are doing a great job and Hank deserves to be proud of his efforts.

DeleteLocal, I think I have received the same exact comment and talking point at least three times, always anonymously and always in response to criticism of LOCO or NCJ written on this blog. If this is what you believe, why not use your name? You won't because then your agenda and any connection to LOCO would be exposed. You could be anyone, even Hank. That is the problem with 99% of the anon comments.
DeletePeople who state the truth don't hide behind anonymity. Next time, use a verifiable email and a way to verify that this is an independent opinion. I see you totally dismissed the racist comments and other hate. And I am glad you are so proud of racism and Hank's efforts to promote
hate in Humboldt.
It's just laughable that the naacp gets their panties in a bunch over a metaphor and uses it to try and stifle a person's free speech. What does a bunch of ranchers getting together and tracking down some no good cattle thieves have to do with the naacp? Lynchings had no color barrier. Horse thieves, Claim Jumpers, kidnappers, adulterers, murderers. The naacp does not hold the Monopoly on lynching. Get over it. Free Speech over rules the offended.
ReplyDeleteIt is also laughable to see all the advertisers, especially the liberal businesses like Los Bagels posting Justice for Josiah and then advertising on liberal LOCO with their racist comments. If they stay silent on this issue with LOCO, they will prove to everyone outside Humboldt who they truly are.
