H.O.P.E. against Hate

Facebook by means on educating its community members of such sites that are defamatory in nature towards a specific group of people and/or walk of life. Hate comes in all variety's and all pages reported to our group will be reposted. I have started this organization in hopes that one day - the people of today and tomorrow will not have to deal with hate in their everyday life. Most importantly, so the youth of today do not have to be exposed to such venues that question their very existence. We live in a world that should be free of hatred, yet so many people still cast it. It is not only immoral to cast hate upon someone but I feel its the worst thing that you can do the self esteem of a fellow human being. The educational piece of this project starts with, Do not fight hate with hate! You are not proving a point if you can not communicate effectively. There is no need for foul language when posting to these walls. It stirs the anger and makes them fight harder. I urge everyone to not say anything at all if you have nothing nice to say. One of the best things that you can do is simply report the page. It takes you out of the light of being a target for their antics as well as contributes to a greater cause of standing up for what you believe it. Most do not like to hear this, but when I personally monitor a page - I do so neutrally. When I read something posted by a member, whether that member be for or against the cause, I report that member as well. I firmly believe that you can not make a difference if your feeding the opportunity to make a difference with hate. I invite all of you to speak about this topic amongst your friends and family. This is about educating people about the traumatic effect that hate as on us, all of us. Below you find some very important facts about utilizing Facebook. I highly recommend that you familiarize yourself with them. You can be found in violation of FB's TOS if you violate these. The number one feedback I get consistently is facebook warned me about spam. There is a very simple reason for this, that is you have flagged a preset algorithm that facebook has in place to prevent people from, spamming (sending out the same message too much), posting to a certain wall too many times within a preset timeline. You can also be reported as spam if you are "flooding" the page because of topics discussed. This is where our strength in numbers will prevail. We need to send the message to Facebook that we the people will not tolerate any form of hate to be exploited on their media network. The First Amendment does not apply to Facebook, a private entity. FaceBook has a "Statement of Rights and Responsibilities", a contract with which every member agrees to when creating an account. "Section 3: Safety

We do our best to keep Facebook safe, but we cannot guarantee it. We need your help to do that, which includes the following commitments (excerpt):

6. You will not bully, intimidate, or harass any user.
7. You will not post content that: is hateful, threatening, or pornographic; incites violence; or contains nudity or graphic or gratuitous violence.
9. You will not use Facebook to do anything unlawful, misleading, malicious, or discriminatory.
12. You will not facilitate or encourage any violations of this Statement." Together we can make a difference! I highly recommend that every person get involved with your community in some way.
