Black Pigeon Speaks published his own video, "#CreatorsForChange -- YouTube Propaganda Gets REKT -- Yet Again," in which he quickly segued from the platform's campaign to a brazen claim that "diversity always leads to fractured societies that always break down." The comments on YouTube's original video introducing the program were rapidly flooded with bile. "Meet the rainbow coalition of YouTubers who hate white people!" read one top-voted comment. "I never hated diversity until media began to forcefully push it down my throat," read another. - - - My personal opinion: Toss these vile racists off of YouTube entirely. Stop permitting them to leverage our platforms to spread hate. Let them build their own social media services (and their own Internet, for that matter). Stuff them back into their cages where they were before our technology gave these vile sociopaths a giant megaphone. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein (lauren () vortex com):Archives | Modify Your Subscription | Unsubscribe Now
