Warning NSFW, graphic, gory violent!
Why is it stuff like this can be on YouTube but no one calls it out? Even get's a majority positive rating, not much in the comments either. I know the argument that would be made is that it's purposefully over the line and trying to show brutality so as to actually be antiracist, but then WTF is with the black stereotypes.

Seriously - we suck. I'd have to know the context of how/why the uh - person???? - who created it did it. Until I understand differently . . . I'm going to assume it had zero positive intent.

His YouTube channel is all video parodies of anime or movies. Quite a few of them have stereotyped black characters like this.

(37,770 posts)3. When he stereotypes
Other follks for comedy - then his intent is to be funny. When you've been told you are a welfare queen based on the color of your skin since you were five - its not funny. Just because that asshole Reagan said it was "true" in Mississippi 35 years ago - doesn't make it true - or right. This guy is tapping into that hard core belief system of half of white America.
