I just read the BET article, and surprise surprise, another resident RWNJ has completely misrepresented it to fit his watered down version of the alt-right's white genocide/race war narrative.
Here is how they 'only refer to the video as provocative and disturbing':
quote:
And not helping his case one bit, the 19-year-old rapper has released a number of videos that have only added to his negative image and possibly implicate him as a predator.
quote:
Shockingly, the reactions weren’t all bad.
This isn't exactly pure objectivity, but of course the OP is doubtlessly addicted to the phony outrage the RWNJ media has been peddling for decades now, and the condemnation here simply isn't strong enough. Of course, the fact that it's BET to begin with also immediately puts him on the defensive.
And surprise, surprise...you show your loony, leftist stripes:
BET was referring to the singer, not the video. And note they used the hedge word "possibly" so Co the court case is not finished.
And look at you...BET refers to the video only as "provocative and disturbing". Not sickening...not racist...only shocking and disturbing. Yet, you remark that BET's article "isn't pure objectivity". It doesn't take a RWNJ to see that...only an objective person. Which, despite your fervent belief that everyone from the right is a RWNJ, I am.
Now that you've raised your objections to me daring to question BET...where's your support of YouTube? Your answer as to what their response would be to the hypothetical video I suggested? I bet you have an answer as why they should be O.k. with this rapper's video and not the one I suggested.
They were talking about HIS VIDEOS, moron. READ IT AGAIN.
And so what if they said 'possibly'???
They're a website, not a fucking firing squad.
It's pretty obvious that your mind is so used to the viciously charged rhetoric of endless RWNJ commentary shows that nothing less than charges of 'sickening racism' will do. You need this sort of sensationalized response to everything that makes you uncomfortable, especially if you don't understand it.
I bet you think it would be more 'objective' if they said 'this should not be tolerated and he should be tortured, raped and killed for making this video'.
Pure objectivity isn't about passing judgment on ANYTHING... pure objectivity is just reporting the facts.
EG:
'White supremacists tend to support Trump' (objective, not the tone you think the BET article should have adopted)
vs.
'Disgusting, bigoted, worthless racists support our shitbag-in-chief' (not objective, the tone you think the BET article should have adopted)
Calling the supportive responses to the video 'shocking' is not being objective-- it is saying that it is surprising that people are not uniformly condemning it.
This isn't Limbaugh/Alex Jones-style 'OMG OMG THE WORLD IS ENDING BECUZ LIBRULS HAVE DA POWER, PICK UP YOUR GUNS AND SHOOT TO KILL', so it's not enough for you.
And YOU are not being objective here AT ALL-- I doubt you even understand the meaning of the word. You call yourself 'objective' simply because you think that you are always right and like, a smart person.
But you have already passed judgment on the singer, the content of the video, its meaning, BET, me, and probably the culture we are living in as well.
I am not saying you shouldn't 'dare to question BET'-- I just think you're too prejudiced to ever really be able to form a respectable opinion on the matter, and I don't think that you're good at thinking critically.
Why exactly would I condemn YouTube? They have fucking white supremacists, conspiracy nutjobs, RWNJ idiots, pick-up artists, fascists, etc... and yet, this video crosses a line?
Your problem is that your mind is so small that when you see something like this, you think you understand it and don't even bother to ask yourself if there might be more to it.
This is common among the right-wingers here... and it's why the discussions are so shit.
