I've got to say that my ideal of 'cancelling' someone is just... not watching their content.

You've gone into one of the major reasons why I'm checking out from online politics lately. Kinda sad bc it seems like letting "them" win. but YouTube is a dream job and it's not supposed to be this stressful lol so I chose peace

Hi, 42 year old cis white man from germany here. you are probably my first Black content creator I watch regurlarly. I want to thank you for making the content you did and will do (hopefully). thank you for being a entertaining voice of reason Alltough i am probably not the one you had in mind when thinking about your audience. You helped me understand a lot of stuff especially about systemic racism. and helped me to see the same bullshit in the european systems. which is in retrospective very obvious. it helped me, to channel this in my daily RL to get more sensitive to these issues and have a knowledge base to speak up or use my privileges to give room. you exposed me to literature social science and concepts of thinking, i would have never seen in my life.
I just want to say, your work is deeply appreciated and had an impact in my real day to day life.
Thank you for enduring all the bullshit long enough to end up on my screen.

As a white guy raised in the south, I can honestly say that I was introduced to Duboise in school as "doob-wah." I literally did not know the correct pronunciation until I started watching your videos, and confirmed it. So much of my adult life has been deconstructing the "anti-black" or "predominantly white centered" history I was taught growing up, and it's exhausting sometimes.

I only just got round to watching this, it really is a great video. I like how you don't fully throw anyone under the bus and you're also refreshingly candid about the limitations of what we do here. Also, as a migraine sufferer, when you said 'my right eye has gone blurry' I instantly recognised the symptom, mine are generally exercise induced but they're also much more common than they used to be. You have to wonder about the effect YouTube/online spaces have increasing our susceptibility to these things. Glad you're well anyway.

You were the first black leftist I found on YouTube and holy shit I really have to thank you for helping me realize how all of the content I was watching was by white creators. I've learned so much from you, and other non white creators I've found through your channel, about how much of a problem racism still is. I believed the white washed narrative about how racism is a problem of the past and isn't a thing anymore and I might not have ever changed my view on that if I hadn't learned more from you and the other creators I found because of you. I'm marginalized in just about every way except for race, so knowing how to feels to be at the other end of that I'm trying to learn everything I can about how I'm privileged because of my race and deconstruct any racist biases I have, and I don't think I ever would have gotten started down this path of self improvement if it weren't for you, so truly thank you.

Regarding the Central Park dog lady situation, you asked if anything restorative came out of her public shaming. Following that incident and the murder of George Floyd, a whole bunch of Black-led organizations were formed. It started with Black Birders Week, followed by a variety of "Black In" STEM orgs (Black In Marine Science, Black In Mammology, Black In Neuroscience, etc.). These orgs are still very active today and making a huge difference by creating community, sharing resources, running programs, giving grants and scholarships, etc.
Apologies if you address this later in the video. I only watched the first ~30 mins and will come back for more later to experience the whole video. But I just wanted to point out that, even if dog lady learned nothing from the experience and received zero long-term consequences, it became something much bigger than her and empowered Black folks in nature and science fields to organize. Her behavior was so blatantly bad and her public shaming was so thorough that it raised awareness about how Black people are treated in these spaces.

Organizing IRL has been a great antidote for online insanity. After the 2020 Bernie primary, I couldn't just keep posting and the existential dread of just watching the future possibilities collapse combined with COVID put me into a pretty dark place. Fortunately, I found likeminded people in my neighborhood where we could do real life organizing and help marginalized people. Now, we're running a candidate for city council and fingers crossed, could win and do even more good for my city. There's drama in these spaces too but the satisfaction of doing real work with real people completely outweighs it.

This video has really made me reconsider how I interact with content. I've never actually tweeted or commented anything harassing, but I have absolutely watched and gawked at the drama. And I have absolutely leaned on breadtube videos emotionally to feel like "I'm doing something. I'm learning something". And these videos are both educational and entertaining, but it's not a replacement for participation in real life communities or activism. I can't imagine the pressure you must be under and I hope you find ways to take care of yourself.

When i was 11 my grandmother got cancer and she spent the last months of her life suffering in a hospital bed. Seeing that suffering and knowing that recovery was not an option i told my mom: "I hope she dies soon". Every adults present and the people they told decided to focus on the exact words used instead of reading between the line and understand that this little boy wasn't wishing death on his grandmother but delivery from the pain. Personnaly I think that internet is the exact same that those people it'll ignore the message delivered if it can get angry at the wording used

as a first nations woman, it's so hard to find people who I can truly trust when it comes to expressing my beliefs about and frustrations with the systems in which we're forced to live here. people in my life have felt threatened, get defensive, and even threaten violence. FD, your voice is so important for the leftist community, and you're and important figure for me personlly. I trust you with my whole heart. This shit is the worst, i hope you're able to stay safe and healthy. ♡♡

My main take-away from all of this, both the stuff the video talks about and the video itself, boils down to a relatively simple observation:
Cruelty is not justice.

“The surest way to work up a crusade in favor of some good cause is to promise people they will have a chance of maltreating someone. To be able to destroy with good conscience, to be able to behave badly and call your bad behavior 'righteous indignation' — this is the height of psychological luxury, the most delicious of moral treats.” - Aldous Huxley

At 33:20 Hasan says something that reminds me of a phrase I heard years ago, "Bricks you throw at your neighbor aren't building your house"

I am an AA male in my mid 30s. Had my first mini-stroke at 31 and had a full blown one approximately 6 months later. Was in the military at the time but thankfully I wasn't deployed or I might've not made it. Thankfully I don't have any residual effects related to brain damage and I'm able to function just fine. Spurred me to eat cleaner and workout more and 4 years later, I've (knock on wood) never had another stroke. Nurses said that I was physically in great shape so they were unsure but it was more than likely related to the high stress environment I worked in. If you are chronically stressed, I beg you, find an outlet to relieve that stress!

Posted before F.D's pinned comment and there's a complaint in the replies.
So, I'm pushing the content of my comment down below the link you click to see the rest of longer comments.
Because it may be considered to contain a light spoiler.
And, I don't want to be disrespectful. Even when what is said is critical.
**Comment Imminent**
Back in the comments again to say: I'm so glad you went for evaluation immediately! Y'all, understand stroke is one of the leading causes of death for Black folks in our age demo, in part because med professionals routinely assume we're too young for that. I've had 3 mini-strokes and had my symptoms dismissed multiple times. Please make sure you know the signs, seek medical attention (my physical therapist has actually been the most helpful), bring someone if you can, and advocate for yourself if necessary. We gotta take good care of ourselves, and then each other. 💞
Oh, and: Black. It's Black. It's blickity, blickity, blickity, blickity BLACK. 💯

I am a white female Eastern European in Eastern Europe and was active before the boom of Leftism and anarchism on the internet. I always loved reading black thinkers way more - I would always prefer reading bell hooks and Assata Shakur to Judith Butler, Gramschi and Adorno. Interesting fact - black literature and autobiographies were translated in Bulgarian (my language) during totalitarian communism because they were comfortable criticism of the US. When the youtube Left exploded I still found black youtube better. Overall, there is no smugness and ego, and preaching. Also, I can say that such fights offline and not on the internet are even more painful because there are no receipts. The sexism and the bickering really left me feeling alone and desperate that collective activism is impossible offline. Mostly because of white dudes.
