3 Minutes On Hate Speech And Holocaust Denial

Great Interview!
It amazes me how people can believe that there was no Holocaust. Although I am not Jewish I am a human being and it is amazing what has happened in the past. How could we have let all this happen, from Witch burning, the KKK to destroying the Indian nation just because we believed we were the better race. What we learn from our past helps us to grow stronger for our future but to deny the past only shows ones ignorance. Even Generals use past wars to conquer in Battle. I for one embrace the past, not proud of what they did but I pray WE will use their mistakes to ensure a winning future for all mankind.

Good Show Brian!

Brian-

I was thinking about this issue today, actually. Specifically, I was revisiting whether someone can truly, innocently believe that there was no holocaust, however preposterous the notion. I'm still a undecided about this. You gave a great background in this video. Food for thought.

Brian mentions key points in this interview that are of great value to the "Better Humans" movement! 1) Respect! Social media cannot be turned into a platform for hate groups! It is impertinent that 2) Education becomes the leading purpose of these blogs, so that our younger generations can learn accurate information and become educated. 3) Support. Those of us that believe in a better tomorrow need to unite forces, knowledge and members in order to combat ignorance.
History cannot be changed… we can learn form it and build a better future.
Namaste!

An important post by Brian, please get the word out. It's not about just changing Facebook's outlook, it's about powerful platforms such as Facebook, allowing history to be rewritten in the name of greed. Imagine what would happen if someone would offer Google $xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx… in return to altering search results for certain topics, let's say the Holocaust… and what if it happens during a down turn when Google's share is down? How about blocking search results for certain countries or territories?
