Within the last week a horrible video surfaced on the online media site WorldStarHipHop.com. It was of a man coercing a mentally challenged female into having sex. This video was posted in the early afternoon hours of june 8th and removed very quickly after a quick backlash from people . It looked as tho it was done by teenagers or adults in their early to late 20’s . The female who you could tell was very sweet but mentally challenged was talked into sex by the young men telling her it was going to be fun and it was a game to which she smiled and went along with it

Signal boost please.   

I could cry. This is beyond sick. 

While this is extremely fucked up, is this really the first time people felt world star was exploiting people? Like you go on this site and watch people that are likely beaten within inches of their lives and sometimes straight murdered. This website has been exploiting humanity for a while, and I’m glad people are deciding to take a stand now, but the ugly truth is when world star isn’t doing it anymore another site will (see live leak). You people need this depraved bullshit on the internet. You crave it. You know who you are.  

Unfortunately, you’re right.  But I take the position that as long as there is non-justice on the planet the correct thing to do is always to counter that non-justice.  

Here are some suggestions to counter WSHH and other sites like it:

-don’t visit or share the videos (even if you’re expressing opposition - traffic is the currency of the web)

-musicians don’t pay world start hip hop to promote your music.  There are plenty of other ways to promote your music via social media, high-traffic niche blogs, independent media etc.

-boycott businesses or companies that pay for advertising on the site

-don’t do business with the company that hosts world start hip hop and let them know why (Hivelocity)

Anyone else who has suggestions please reblog with some of your ideas:

 HAVE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR SO LONG! This is why I don’t visit the site.. It’s a fucking disgusting site. People glorify the hell out of that site. I also mentioned this a while back when I was complaining about your typical social justice bloggers, here, who complain about how white people piss them off so much(all talk no action, tumblr in a nutshell). How EVERYTHING is white people’s fault, Never want to admit that there’s a just as bad of problems in black communities. Never, have I once seen them complain about WSHH and the stupid shit that’s shown on there. I see them reblog and post stuff from that site more than I see them complaining about it. You point out the stuff that’s wrong in black communities, instant backlash. “Not all of us are like that” and not all of THEM are like that either…

You know, racist people like using WSHH to justify their racism. Yet, I don’t see the energy some of these people put into hating white people, put into taking down WSHH… You can’t complain about something if you don’t fucking fix the problem. On both sides, there’s a huge problem… It’s not just one. It’s not getting fixed because no one likes taking responsibility for their actions, owning up to their mistakes and fixing them. It’s a never ending cycle of “they hate us, so we hate them back.”

WSHH is one of the worst sites ever. There’s a billion other sites to go watch viral videos.
