Have you seen OwnagePranks videos? He calls Asian restaurants mocking the way they speak, ordering food he never plans to pick up, redialing, harassing, bullying. He is huge and popular. I know, right. Go figure

I received a racist comment about a video I uploaded on YouTube. But can’t see a link to report the comment or figure out what the complaint process is.

Looks like the author of the comment does this sort of thing a lot.

Websites like Flickr have a more obvious way to report abuse.

I have found several youtubers who post nothing but racist and bigoted videos on there.

I have viewed videos by people of different races, religions, or sexual orientations, and there is always a comment or 200 that are either racist, homophobic, or just plain hateful.

I have cancelled my account over this issue, and switched to Vimeo. At least, for the time being, it’s safer.

Racism on you tube doesn’t stop at just the video posts. I think they should pursuit stopping these posts.

However, have you read the comments lately? Check it out the next time you can. The comments made by users of all persuasions will blow your mind. In general, American have lost their decency (if we ever truly had any).

Been there done that, Marty. I have commented extensively on bringing political struggles into the classroom, most recently when the Days of Silence and Truth were occuring. It’s Elementary has been out there awhile but I was stunned about the racist videos I saw. Call me naive, but I didn’t expect it.
