MENLO PARK, CAEmphasizing that he intended to learn from his mistakes and listen more to others, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced Thursday that he would hold a virtual roundtable with American hate groups around the country to better understand how they work. Its important to stay educated about the issues during this difficult time, which is why Ive invited several prominent leaders from the Aryan Brotherhood, the KKK, and the American Nazi Party to join me and educate me about the challenges they face every day, and what we at Facebook can do to help, said Zuckerberg before apologizing for failing to invite any Grand Wizards, White Knights, or Skinheads to a discussion like in the past. Hopefully, by having an open and honest dialogue with you, Ias a white mancan finally begin to understand the struggles they have faced in this hateful society for generations and elevate aryan voices. While I still certainly have a lot to learn, hopefully by opening up my heart to these hate-fuelled, unhinged rants, I can finally help these communities heal. At press time, Zuckerberg posted a list of helpful resources hed used to educate himself, designating Identity Evropa and Stormfront as required listening.

(4,569 posts)the placement of an icon or something else in the heading to indicate it is a satirical piece?
I am finding it more and more annoying to discover such stuff is satire when the heading sounds perfectly plausible.

(2,010 posts)I only knew it was satire because Zuckerberg wouldn't "announce" his collaboration with the scumbags. If it was "Zuckerberg has secret discussions with..." I would have had to look for the source..
