In this thought-provoking episode of "The Political Education For Freedom" podcast entitled "America in Racist: Unmasking the Legacy of Exclusion," host Nitra takes listeners deep within the often unspoken chapters of American history. The episode is part of a journey into the past as it reveals the origins and consequences of the systemic racism buried deep in policies and practices within the nation. From the Militia Act of 1792, whose provisions explicitly exempted anyone but “free able-bodied white male citizens” from military service, to the segregationist policies of the 20th century, Nitra shows how racial exclusion and discrimination have been sewn into the very fabric of American society. The episode puts a lot of historical context behind these policies, showing how easily they were not oversights, but actually things set up that way to move the country forward. Nitra humanizes the story, coupling these historical policies to real people whose lives were affected by it. She investigates individual and community personal challenges and triumphs in the face of structurally provided systems that kept them on the margins of society, thus illustrating the actual human toll of these exclusions. The episode also grapples with the thorny legacy of American presidents and elected officials ranging from Thomas Jefferson to Woodrow Wilson, whose policies and statements were reflective of their times' racial prejudices. Nitra never flinches from hard truths as even how some reputed leaders contributed towards the perpetuation of race inequality is explored. "America in Racist" is more than the expository piece of history but an exploration into the emotional and human awakenings brought about by racism in America. It's a call towards acknowledgment of, and understanding of that painful part of the nation's history, learn from it, and with these knowledge at heart forge a way toward a more inclusive and equitable future. Come along with Nitra in this enlightening episode as she peels back the layers of America's racist past and invites us all to reflect, feel empathy, and join the ongoing conversation about race, history, and justice.

Digital Citizenship: Navigating a Complex Landscape

Digital citizens, as defined by Lu et al. (2023), engage in networked participatory behaviors, encompassing individual, policy, political, and social participation. It emphasizes equality in knowledge transmission, promoting responsible behavior, ethical awareness, and empathy (Jessenia et al. 2020). Initially centered on norms, digital citizenship has evolved into online engagement, with citizens actively responding to public issues, especially through social media (Jones & Mitchell 2016). Twitter, a powerful platform, plays a pivotal role in citizen engagement, shaping public discourse with hashtags like #gop, #gop2012, and #republicanprimary during the 2012 US elections (Campos-Domínguez 2017).

The Evolving Notion of Digital Citizenship

The concept of digital citizenship is crucial in the rapidly evolving online landscape, blending traditional citizenship values with the digital realm (Oyedemi 2018). It expands traditional citizenship principles, focusing on accountability, moral conduct, and public participation, fostering a sense of shared responsibility within the digital space. Multifaceted in nature, digital citizenship involves staying secure online, understanding threats, using technology responsibly, and educating individuals for conscious digital navigation (Christensen, Biseth & Huang 2021).

Platform Studies, Hashtag Publics, and Political Participation

Platform studies delve into the technological and cultural aspects of digital platforms, exploring how they integrate into our lives (Neto & Chiarini 2022). Hashtag publics, emerging from social media, serve as dynamic spaces for activism and communication around shared interests. Political participation in the digital age extends beyond traditional boundaries, encompassing staying informed, active discourse, and using platforms to advocate for social and political issues.

Challenges and Opportunities in Digital Citizenship

While digital citizenship encapsulates safety, education, platform dynamics, hashtag activism, and political participation, it faces challenges from competitors, economic fluctuations, and changing consumer preferences. However, embracing these complexities with awareness and accountability fosters a supportive, active online community in the digital age. This intricate web of digital citizenship principles navigates the diverse ways individuals engage with the internet, creating a roadmap for responsible online conduct

W5: Digital Citizenship and Political Engagement

Digital citizens refer to individuals or groups who utilize digital technology for the purpose of engaging in networked participatory behaviours (Lu et al. 2023). It involves four interconnected elements: individual, policy, political, and social participation (Lu et al. 2023). Digital citizens imply equality in transmitting and receiving knowledge (Jessenia et al. 2020), regardless of factors that might cause exclusion such as gender, age, and social and economic status. Digital citizenship is briefly defined as the norms of responsible behaviour considering the use of technology by digital citizens such as ethical awareness, empathy, and responsibility (Mossberger, Tolbert & McNeal 2007). But nowadays, digital citizenship has evolved into a form of online engagement and participation through appropriate communication and decision-making processes (M Jones & J Mitchell 2016). One of the characteristics of digital citizenship is the high level of activity in responding to public issues by citizens, especially through social media (Mulyono et al. 2023). The citizen’s participation in public issues refers to the term “engagement” which is understood to include social capital, civic engagement, and political participation (Skoric et al. 2016). Social media therefore serves as a key tool to boost citizen engagement through communication, discussion, and the coordination of public and social activities (Warren, Sulaiman & Jaafar 2014).

Twitter exemplifies a powerful platform for citizen engagement and political communication tools (Campos-Domínguez 2017). Research suggests its potential to increase voter engagement, as evidenced in the 2010 UK elections, the 2012 US presidential elections, and the 2013 Italian elections (Murthy 2015). Notably, the 2012 US elections saw Twitter abuzz with hashtags like #gop, #gop2012, and #republicanprimary, demonstrating its role in shaping public discourse.

While Twitter serves as a valuable tool for political campaigns, debates, crowdsourcing, and information verification, it also presents challenges. Its speed, immediacy, and hashtag-driven nature can facilitate the spread of misinformation, rumours, and even verbal violence(Oh, Eom & Rao 2015). Research suggests its potential for opinion-building, democratic development, and even limited media freedom in regions where voting rights are restricted. However, the 2016 US election saw Twitter potentially contribute to decreased approval ratings for Trump, possibly due to a "backlash" effect from moderate voters against his unique Twitter behavior (Bursztyn, Egorov & Fiorin 2020). Trump's prolific tweeting differed from other candidates in tone, content, and hashtag usage. Notably, his tweets often included disinformation and distrustful narratives. His signature #MAGA hashtag fostered a community of followers who readily spread his messages, further amplified by media coverage, creating a self-reinforcing cycle.
