    It's strange how anything to do with violence, stealing, anti-social behaviour, I can often guess exactly what it's going to look like...

    Funny guy :)

    I was watching a video, HI-5 for my son. The comments below were about race hate


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    I always knew there were a lot of crazy people who hang around on Youtube but I never imagined them to be that numerous. Some of the comments under that video are unbelievable.

    No racism please.

    how are you defining racism here?

    im sure most people guessed that the kids rioting were black, and they were.

    does no racism cover the obvious? or are we just not allowed bring up skin colour at all

    banana flavoured doughnuts seems a bit close to the line..

    Perhaps you are; not that you'd have to be to assume that videos like this you often see featured on youtube and linked to other sites are likely to feature black people.
    Why is this exactly? The video featured here doesn't seem to feature anything all that extreme; surely there are any number of examples of similar incidents caught on security cameras all over the world.
    Similarly with incidents that occur outside and are caught on cctv. Surely there are countless examples from various countries all over the world filmed every day/night featuring people of varying ethnicities; you could source plenty in Ireland if you wished, i'd imagine.
    Yet, as you pointed out, many of the examples uploaded to youtube, or at least the most viewed and commented on examples, therefore making them the most likely to come to ones attention, seem to feature black people.
    Could this be because there is simply a dearth of such videos from around the world featuring people who are not black? Or could it be because, as exemplified by many of the youtube commenters on this video, there is a sizable number of youtube users who seemingly have nothing better to do than seek out such videos and leave hate-filled, bilious comments against people of a certain skin-colour?
    Logic would seem to seem to point to the latter conclusion.

    In a rebuttal to your statement, I was merely implying since we human species as a whole evolved from monkeys, oh wait to put those Darwins fans to rest, are a close relative to the monkey, was fond of a banana now and again, while us humans have a fondness in this fast paced world, for a sugar puffy pastry rush called a donut. I was merely putting to the two together for a greater emphasis, I could have said they must have run out of their favourite flavour of donut, however it doesn’t roll of the tongue, clearly the supply and demand where not in equilibrium and a riot( albeit all a small one) broke out.

    On the other hand, I bet they were black, type statements, is clearly racism, while I don’t mind receiving an infraction for what you conspired in your mind to be racist.

    ah, a conspiracy to keep white thuggery off youtube.

    Interesting.

    A load of bollox, but interesting none the less


    I'll tell you why, if i hear "riots in dublin coincide visit of orange order" i am going to, before i click on the link, assume scummy low IQ tracksuit wearing vermon hurling bricks and parading our tri colour.

    If i see a link "man caught red handed on camera robbing a house in a rural Westmeath village" im going to make an assumption that they are members of the travelling community.. chances are im going to be right on both accounts.

    I dont think it makes me racist, i just think it profiling.
