“The implication behind the public hounding of ‘racist Harry’ is that all words, even those uttered in private, must be policed and punished. … It is worth remembering that Harry’s ‘racist video shame’ was an entirely private affair (which only happened to be captured on video) and that it consisted of little more than banter between peers. As such, it took place according to rules informally negotiated by a group of friends, which should not — indeed cannot — be shaped or corrected by external regulation.” 901/13/09) Link: http://www.spiked-online.com/index.php?/site/article/6098/ Filed under: RRND Commentary | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
