Random YT Cmnts: Lot Brawl




I try to avoid these types of videos nowadays simply because it makes me feel horrible. Of course they can be entertainment (we're all human and that's why most people love these videos) but at the end of the day there is always a lesson to be learned about videos showcasing fuckery, well at least in my world. The sad thing is when the person who I got the video from is usually putting it on blast as if it is a good thing i.e. "bitch gets her ass whooped!!" I've already talked about this issue in a previous entry and can't get that much into it right now because I have somewhere to go but I always take interest in Youtube comments of a video & decided to post some.

Random Youtube Cmnts:

"The police are tied up trying to moderate protesters of a (supposedly racially charged) manslaughter verdict so....LET'S GET US SOME BLACK ON BLACK VIOLENCE! Watch as Pregnant high hos get punched and kicked by other hos and a pimp! and when the police show up well."FUCKZZ DA POLICE! YA" Where is the condemnation from within the black community of this type of stuff? You never hear it. Its always someone else's fault."

"I would like to say this is a shocking video, but sadly there is an endless stream of this, i could probably continue watching video after video of grown people acting like animals on youtube. And I try not to be a racist man, because PC wants me to call a spade an earth removing tool. So I will just state an observation. The vast majority of these videos are of 'african american' people."

"The best part about this whole video is the guy filming it. I just love black people! <3 "

"Sad that this is during the Oscar Grant verdict."

"i dont see black people. i just see a whole lot of uneducated, proud, dumbasses out on the streets doing what stupid people do when they get in fights... they doing and saying dumb shit. jackasses around the world are doing this shit. its no wonder shit si so fucked up."

"This proves that 95 percent of blacks are ghetto! "

"You don't touch a nigga's car, yet it's ok for a grown man to knock out a pregnant woman?" "

If you try and hold these people and their culture accountable, you are labeled a racist. The left is responsible for the destruction of their values, their culture, and their communities. Has big government solutions to the black community's problem since the civil rights era improved their situation? No. The left encourages hatred of whites and white values in order to create an obedient voting bloc. The leftist media never reports this point of view which is espoused by many blacks. "

Full Circle: The Media & our Moods

Sometimes I wonder with this little world we live in...how much impact does the media really have on our lives? I already know that answer.

  • If we turned on the news tomorrow and they were rejoicing on how the recession has magically ended & everything was going to be okay would everyone think the same?
  • If we turned on the news tomorrow and they posted a warning about a growing nation wide panic regarding food shortage, how many people would get up and start looting and rioting for food just because "they" said it?
  • With all this 2012 propaganda being displayed I honestly think there are gonna be a bunch of foolies the day 2012 strikes or Dec 21 2012 arrives that will cause some chaos to come into existence.

I was talking to a former news reporter the other day who was very tight lipped about why he/she resigned but one of the reasons was because of the Terrorism/Sept 11th scare. He/She was being told to report false news, exaggerated news, all sorts of propaganda to scare us. The purpose of it and my opinion is a whole 'nother entry but it's amazing how they had the country shitting themselves every morning when they would report the security color of the country. I remember when it would go from blue one day to orange the next day and me being the perceptive teenager I was at the time, it would scare me and I would wonder how in one day can we be free of a terrorist attack then we're capable of a full blown terrorist attack the next day. Just thinking back on that it was so ridiculous, the Osama Bin Laden videos (are we still looking for him?), the "Shock and Awe" coverage when we were going to war, them telling us the color codes regarding the security of the country but not telling us exactly why and how it got to that point for that day, Bush and his "we're gonna kick their ass" speech it was just one big freakin circus. Now you rarely hear about terrorism compared to the previous decade. What happened all of a sudden? Just like you don't hear about swine flu unless they feel like bringing it to the platform...what happened to that?

I'm pretty sure any smart person can differentiate between sensationalism and realism but there are still a lot of people out there that trust what anyone on the television is telling them. Why is it that we are so quick to trust these people feeding us information on the television without questioning or doing extensive research? Because I have definitely been that person at one point and can still be that person. Reality is reality, period, we are not in that good of a place...it is what it is but it's always good to question what is being fed to you.

We're living in a world now where we cannot trust anything unless it is validated by someone behind a television screen or a computer screen. For ex: my friend was talking to me about a woman who saw with her own eyes the twin towers being destroyed but she had to turn on the television to verify if what she was seeing is real. A lot of us have this mentality! How many of us have not trusted what a person said they were up to because it was not posted via facebook,myspace,blogger,twitter,aim etc? Human v Machine, that's what it's coming to these days and ironically our actions are reflecting it

Black People, what was that?




Some things should not be discussed on national television.
Although I was working while it aired, I get disgusted at things like this.
Our culture is way too exploited sometimes. Blacks are in a dire need of cultural privacy.
This is not the first time I've heard about a debate airing on national television about "black issues"and most of the time it's a debate regarding black men v. black women.
Whose bright idea was this and how is this helping the black community?
What about a show consisting of a panel discussing black on black crime, why it's so high, and what we can do to put a stop to it?

This airing on television is not going to miraculously bring a companion to these "successful black women who cannot find a man", this airing on television is not going to solve anything. It is only going to encourage more finger pointing and ignite more arguments about how "black women don't do this" and "black men don't do that". To be honest with you, I did not even know this was an issue until the media hype began, then I kept seeing television segments with 3-4 "successful" black women" explaining that they cannot find a man. Now all of a sudden ALL successful black women have this problem and now we have ABC doing a damn segment on it as if it is really that important! Which brings me to this question: Why is it EVEN an issue? There is a reason the media keeps beating this dead horse. There are so many more issues going on within the black community that this being top priority is just silly.

What is even more silly is that usually [if not always] there is a non-black person behind these specials. What really irritated me is when I saw the headline followed by the question "whose to blame?" Really? Why must that be the object of the debate? I'm tired of networks exploiting "black issues" for money. Aside from CNN's Black in America segment, these debates airing are nothing but a play on the black community's insecurities (particularly black women) and will do nothing but divide us even more. The people who participated are even more at fault. I am not saying the argument is not reasonable, but it should not be discussed on national television because more than half of the people that tuned in don't give a damn about black women being single or black people in general, it's all for their entertainment. It is entertainment.

Cmon now, the least we can do is have this type of "face off" (as they called it) on a black channel such as TvOne. I'm sayin!

I have so much more to say about this, I will later but bottom line:
Talk to me when a debate about how to stop certain issues that endanger the black community is discussed rather than whose to blame between black women and black men for these issues.
