BURMA MUSLIM MASSACRE IS FABRICATED?

dirtyrichpolitical:

Yesterday, I posted some questionable images on my blog regarding the apparent massacre of Muslims in Burma recently as of June 2012.

News outlets and the social networking sites were in overdrive about the lack of media coverage on the issue and lack of action on the part of human rights groups.

Many of the images I saw were familiar and not connected to massacre in anyway, but others images were questionable.

I did ask other TUMBLR bloggers to set the record straight for me, but instead one decided to accuse me of spreading lies. I do not take kindly to that. I will bite.

All I ask for is your help, not your accusations.

However, they did send me a useful link that will set the record straight and give a clearer understanding:

Social media is lying to you about Burma’s Muslim ‘cleansing’

I have posted images on my blog, like other sites and outlets, and have also questioned the credibility of those images. Where am I spreading misinformation? You are ridiculous. Do not state to me that I am misleading with falsehoods, I clearly stated that I cannot authenticate these images, and did not really post a specific comment. I questioned it. Hope I made myself clear here.

That people are more concerned about if someone calls them out than to reconsider how they’re hurting people is just kinda sick.

If you can’t check the images, don’t post them. Don’t spread them around so other people can post them. Check it yourself. It’s not hard. People are easily mislead. Don’t be one of those people that misleads others. Besides which, I also said: even if they were true, using those pictures as a sort of spectacle, inspiration porn, is extreme disrespect.

Try biting. I can bite back. Especially if it’s my people I’m trying to protect.
