Good afternoon Patreon supporters! It's time for your exclusive early look at this weekend's video. I totally expect this one to generate a little controversy, but I'll let you be the judge. Here's the description:
As companies push and shove each other to get to the front of the line to be the first to apologize for their past actions, Netflix has removed "racist" episodes of TV shows they host on the service. But have they missed the point entirely, and actually removed episodes that were anti-racism? Does satire no longer exist?

Thing about that is it's an ideal for the Future, I think. Obviously, in [a long time from now], we want a situation where nobody cares about race in the same way that nobody cares about eye color now. But to say that that's what we should be doing now is essentially saying that we should ignore all the problems that exist in the real present. The socioeconomic differences, the cultural perceptions and habits people have. If everyone went colorblind today, minorities would still have a worse education and environment and all that.

2020-07-11 03:25:55 +0000 UTCI like Morgan Freeman's quotes on racism, namely how do we stop it by not talking about it anymore. Either that or everyone in the world has their skin surgically removed so we're 'all the same color' but I think the first option is probably more feasible and realistic ;)

2020-07-10 16:41:59 +0000 UTCI feel like all of this just distracts some people from the actually issues and itโs so frustrating. I unfortunately know a few racist family members and all Iโve heard is how this is the stupid shit everybody is angry about so thatโs why black lives matter is stupid. I love offensive comedy, I think if it is done correctly it shows a lot about society but is this the real enemy?
