With
everybody being a photographer and the internet is within the reach, now or
ever is a good time to say something that will offend some minority or any
person who has been wrong before in their lives. Everything can be recorded and
monitored and even if you have said something in your past years, it can haunt
you and people will dig up any remotely racist or insensitive and they will
flash that in front of the social media (meaning the whole world literally) and
then your job, your business and sometimes even you and your family are
threatened. Even if you think that you are safe but have posted something years
ago when you were young and reckless and thought it would not surface up now,
it seems you are in the wrong as many thoughtless moments when you posted that
picture or said something insensitive about some race or people have come back
to haunt people and they have to apologize for the insensitive remarks. For
this unforgiving world, this is not enough and these people have been fired and
drop from sponsorship.
It seems
now the freedom of speech has gone out of the window and people have been forced
to retract their statements under pressure but in their heart I don’t believe
what they said will be erased and it is only the fear of being social outcast
and being economically ruined is forcing them to walk back on their statements
and saying that they have now been educated enough to see that their past
behavior is now unacceptable. I feel it that way and as usual maybe I am wrong
and truly those people are sorry for what they have said in their past. Now I saying is that people are becoming
intolerable about how others feels and they are forcing them to mold them in
their worldview and their opinion so we are all becoming a little bit more
careful of what we say. But again if you feel that you are right and the world
is wrong then please keep it to yourselves as the world does not want to listen
and they will really punish you for what you believe in. A whole new world
indeed.
