| Parents
and teachers want children to benefit from the wealth of opportunity
offered by the Internet. At the same time, they are worried about
letting their children and students loose in cyberspace. There are
dangers out there, but just like dangers in the real world, they can be
dealt with. One of these dangers is hate.
The media - the news, the movies, advertising,
and now, the Internet - give most people their first exposure to
"the other". All over the world the media perpetuate
stereotypes by depicting "the other" in quick sound bites or
simplistic visual imagery. Intentionally or otherwise,
stereotyping can fuel prejudice and racism. Extreme expressions of
such ignorance are found in hate groups and their campaigns of hate
propaganda and recruitment. Hate groups are increasingly using the
Internet as a vehicle for their messages.
This primer has been designed to help parents
and teachers understand hate on the Internet, so that they, as adults,
can help young people develop the skills they need to handle online
hate.
