Funny ! But the funniest part (or not) is that this "darksofsof" guy has also uploaded several ferociously anti-semitic videos...
Nothing funny about a woman getting beat. Even if that was what the character was only thinking.
Not funny in the slightest, in his plea against racism against blacks he unfortunately reveals his own anti-white prejudices, i wonder if anyone would ever get away with saying "stupid black bitch", i doubt it.
what?? anti-white prejudices?? thats some serious bullshit. are you ones of those people who complain about "niggers" then say "but im not talking about the GOOD blacks"? go away you stupid racist
That was very painful to watch, and not in a good way.
Surely there's a way to be anti-racist without being misogynist?
im with erangere on this!!
Many a black person would undoubtedly tell you that such "shock value" is required to get the point across.
I didn't find it funny and quite derogatory towards white women.
If you are going to stamp out racism then you really should not be showing reverse racism.
I think this video does more to increase racism than defuse it.
No i am not racist myself, i am just against double standards.
Especially where in my country i get discriminated against for being white but never mind i guess you did not imagine that whites could be the victims of racism did you GP?
you a dumb dude the video is about ~america~ and that is the context under which i intrepreted the video and your post
however as much as whites may be victims of racism if you were to put up a big graph of "demographs who deserve to be hated" whites would tower over everyone else so I guess I'm okay with people hating on you
Sorry to piss on your bonfire, but even in the USA whites are more often the victims of racially motivated crime than black people, look at statistics from your own department of justice.
Also, it really does not matter which country it was set in, should i not be offended by racism anywhere in the world?
And also if races can "deserve to be hated" then you are advocating and in support of racism, if this was true racism against every race by every race could easily be justified based on past/current atrocities.
You are a hypocritical moron
"demographs who deserve to be hated" whites would tower over everyone else so I guess I'm okay with people hating on you"
Wow. You have just defined racism.
sorry to piss on ~your~ bonfire but looking at hatecrime statistics is a horrible skewed way to identify racism--some judges in the south still let whites who commit race crime go free; and thats not to mention the myriad of social prejudices and barriers blacks and other non-whites face everyday that whites simply dont have to face. white privilege is endemic in america and its disgusting
"if this was true racism against every race by every race could easily be justified based on past/current atrocities."
aanndd you'd end up with everyone hating white people. or more specifically, rich white people. but most white people are rich in comparison to the rest of the world
"white privilege is endemic in america and its disgusting"
so is so called "positive discrimination" and affirmitive action.
And it obviously isn't so bad when a man such as Obama can hoodwink America into making him president, although im starting to realise that maybe America isn't so easy to hoodwink.
I meant to say "isnt so hard"
ahah jesus man just come out and say it, you dont like darkie
I don't think the video was meant to stamp out racism. It is comedy. Lighten up people. Also, I thought it was funny.
ahh you caught me out!
No only joking, im not racist but lets leave it there, arguments on the internet are never very productive =)
Mildly amusing.
Oh and anyone who says they are not racist is a liar. All humans are at least a little racist even if they refuse to admit it to themselves. Racism is a natural aspect of all societies where anything different or unknown is viewed with suspicion and distrust. Luckily we are (mostly) evolved enough to realise this and push beyond our natural inclinations.
I thought it was funny. And personally, I believe that black people are entitled to a good bit of anger and distrust toward white people, considering they were dragged across the ocean to be sold and worked against their will, by (omg) white people. And it wasn't that long ago that they were still forced to the back of the bus. And in many ways they are still treated as second-class citizens.
Oh, and I believe that affirmative action is still necessary, as I'm certain that there are many schools who would choose a white student over a black student even if the black student was more qualified. As far as I'm concerned, it's a balancing act, and it's still far from evened out.
Well guess what guys, black people are just as capable of atrocities as any other race (Rwanda etc), it wasnt just white people that were involved in the african slave trade, Jews, Arabs(mainly) and yes EVEN black people sold and bought other blacks and whites)
Go do some research
I doubt you would be saying that about affirmative action if your child didn't get into a good school because they hadnt had their quota of black children
the whole concept of having one school better than another is horrifically biased against poor people and because of America's delightful history, that means its biased against blacks and hispanics
In the UK education is free, so it is not biases against the poor, and my arguments still apply.
Except of course private schools, but there has to be some advantage to being rich, we are not communists are we?
the UK still has biases towards the rich, dont be so naïve
It is a funny video. Humor is supoosed to be satiric. So it does a good job. Does it stereotipe? Of course it does! That's the point. Black people earn less than white, women less than men, private education more than state funded. Its all over the world, saddly its not at its best in America (North, Central or South). Some places are better than most (scandinavia, for example), but then, they have things like 6 month paid daddy and mommy leave -- with mandatory minimum 3 months (to discourage companies from preffering males to females due to babies, etc). Here we have... not much, not yet.
Oh, and the UK is way back on private and public education pay differences, one of the worst in Europe (some "public" schools have reserved places at the best universities, etc). At least in Fance and Scandinavia all education is public (not UK public, which is private) with private institutions banded by law (actually, they exist, but need especial permissions/reason to exist). And lest not begin with men/women differnces.
Oh well, spoken like a true pauper.
"I doubt you would be saying that about affirmative action if your child didn't get into a good school because they hadnt had their quota of black children"
Funny thing. My brother didn't get into princeton for just that reason. He was pissed, but that didn't change my opinion on the matter.
