stop paying attention to this clown.
The ๖ۜBronx;249082990 said:Though I agree with your general sentiment it's worth distinguishing between the two as they are far from equal in terms of weight. One is a word that was used to oppress and subjugate an entire race and the other is a word that was used primarily as an insult toward slave drivers.
I'm not disputing the historical context of the N word but racism is racism no matter what the context by saying it's ok to call a white person a racist name is ok because we have a higher moral ground is complete hypocrisy. If you REALLY want to end racism you should condone it in all its forms but instead you are breeding it.The White people used the N word while enslaving black people, while lynching them, while attacking them as they fought for their rights and whenever they wanted to reduce the to something beneath them. It is a word white people created and gave incredible power to through the history of this country.
Cracker is a term slaves and their ancestors used to insult their owners and oppressors because unlike the white people, they never had the power over others. It was a tiny outlet for an abused people to vent at the people who did this.
If you can't see the absolutely massive gap in the power, history, and societal context, let alone get insulted by it then you have some serious soul searching to do.
If you think all Youtubers are trash because Pewdiepie says racist shit, then you're an idiot.And a lot of youtubers are going to have their hobby, career, and livelihood ruined if they don't speak up greater against trash like PDP and what he's doing to their image.
I'll be sure to tell his 57 million subscribers.

This is an absolute contradiction, racism is racism if you want to end racism condemn it in all its forms. If you don't the tit-4-tat will continue ad nauseamThe ๖ۜBronx;249083452 said:Not sure where I said otherwise, so please don't act like I'm suggesting racism is alright. I just don't think the two should be held with equal weight and that the distinction is important to understand the history of the terms. Two things can be in the same group and still hold wildly different connotations.
What's up with that european argument? Are people saying "nigger" doesn't have a racist connotation in Europe? If so, those people are as dumb as Pewdiepie. And I'm a European.

Because sticking your head in the sand is how we got Nazis in the white House. We have to tell these people openly, as one voice, that it's not okay. There's a reason cigarette smoking isn't as publicly prevalent as it used to be, and it's because society decided that shit was bad. If we put in half the amount of effort to combat racism, we'd have more progress than MLK managed.
Please explain how I'm ignoring historical context? Are you saying it's ok for a black person to be racist to white people because of history?No you're just ignoring both the historical and very present day context.
No one who isn't black should say nigger or nigga and whether or not black people should be saying nigga is a discussion that black people and only black people get to be a part of.
I will never, for the life of me understand white people's obsession with saying it.
And if they can't say, they sure love to tell us when and where we should be allowed to say it.
Just simply accept the fact that you cant say it and move on.
I have lived in America most of my life around people of Hispanic decent and i've never once thought to myself "Man, I wish I could say s***..."

If YOU REALLY want to end racism surely it should be condemned by all people no matter colour, creed or ethnicity
As with trolls, just leave him alone and don't watch him and he will go away. By now he must think he will be fine as he still have viewers. he just going to keep doing this kinda thing now.

Ethan Klein: "It bothers me when I make a video making fun of feminists, then all the time I see all these alt-right comments, and it's like I don't want to identify with them. I don't want to necessarily court these people ... It's just, what can you do? It's almost like you're suggesting that you have to choose a side, and that's something that I found really frustrating."Hilarious thing is that despite H3H3 basically coming down on PDP with all the force of a down pillow thrown by a three year old, his alt-right fanbase is crucifying him for even remotely saying that PDP shouldn't have said the n-word. CAN'T WIN, EH?
Has it helped? Is he less popular now? Keep in mind I only know of this idiot from GAF topics, I have never seen any of his videos.

This. At this point you have to think that Felix is doing this for pure shock marketing.
Nobody's that stupid to make the same mistake countless times in a row.
The first scandal earlier this year gave him a shitload of new subscribers, so I guess he's trying out new things to keep his name in everybody's mouth. Counting by the coverage and outrage he's getting by every racist/stupid shit he's saying, it seems to be working.
It worked for Jake Paul on a different scale as well.
All kind of publicity is good publicity.

It's like they haven't heard the phrase "ignorance is bliss" before.Ignoring racism doesn't make it go away, ffs.
Why does it have to be an ulterior motive?
Why does it have to be a plan?
Why can the guy who says racist things not simply be a racist expressing himself in his normal way?
What line does he have to cross before you're willing to say he's a racist?

Ok, he's a racist.
However that doesn't negate that I can't fathom that a public figure, a guy who's constantly in the spotlight would create such a shitstorm without ulterior motives.
He could just keep his mouth shut and be the "nice little screaming Felix" like he always was before he started changing his direction.
57 million deplorables.
Racism... lol. You don't have the faintest idea what black people are talking about when we say "racism"
If racism only amounted to a random white person here and there saying the n-word... we would be rejoicing in the streets because if that was all it was, we would be fine.
The reason why we get upset about the n-word is because its just an outward reminder of the mindset of the people who run this country.
-The people who sit across the table from you in an interview
-The people who make the majority of the lawmakers in your state
-The people who make up the majority of the police department in your county/city
-The people who sit in the highest office of the land (except for one 8-year span)
-The people who control this country.
I'm not condoning a black person calling white person cracka, but it isn't even in the same universe as a white person calling a black man nigger. The institutionalized racism is FAR FAR FAR worse than any 6 letter word.
P.S. I'm kinda sick and tired of people always putting the onus of ending racism on black people. Before you come to us, make sure you have and yours have done your part please.

So last thread people were like "but both sides...." and "he's not racist, he's just dumb"
Now people wanna be all 'don't talk about it, don't give him attention just ignore it' on some really misguided live and let live type of shit
People are fucking trippin. Smdh

This. Much amplified... and most youtubers don't have agents and PR courses etc.Celebrities were a mistake. YouTube celebrities are basically an amplified version of that stupidity.
#NotAllYouTubers
YouTubers allowing people like PDP to fester WILL hurt their hobby. I dunno where you got me saying "all youtubers are trash" but I think all youtubers should be afraid of what someone like PDP at the helm of their image will do to them.
