Very interesting. YT'ers doing a collective mash-up for a cause. They are coming along. Very positive. I have feelings about it - gonna have to find a way to vlog about it. It is one thing to say you are against the isms or that people should be conscious of what the say and write in public. But

That's part of my problem on trying to find video ways to express the root causes. It is not just skin, but gender, sexual orientation, nationality, age, beauty, celebrity worship... Fox-TV has built its reputation not on true conservative values but by pitting 1/2 of the nation against the other

Hi, I think the bottom line is if we really don't want to see others harmed or cause harm to them -- for whatever silly color or sex reason (there's no scientific support for the idea of race divisions amoung humans) -- we need to take up vlog arms agains the action. We need to be the

Hello, I know this probably doesn't help your argument, but... there IS actually genetic evidence for race (or whatever you want to call it). It's just that they don't necessarily fall along the lines people are drawing up. Alot of the lines people seem to draw up seem to be based on

Again, great point, but what point I thought was great was essentially the need to move to a place where people don't focus on such differences. Big deal, in other words. It's interesting that Dogs don't seem to give a damn about breed, yet are thought of as less intelligent than we. I'm
