What an interesting video. Well made, and it gave me something to think about.

Although you might want to move this to the sticky. This might get locked soon.

Thanks for sharing though! biggrin

Thanks for sharing, that was interesting to watch. I didn't know some of that information, but it all makes me even more sad about what happened to him with everything he went through sad

OK, but the part about the vandalism in Black or White isn't really accurate. The original version of the video didn't include racial slurs on the windows he broke -- those were digitally added afterwards to make the vandalism more understandable.

I don't want to make this all about me, but I dealt with someone who made ignorant racial comments today though she was so young and naive about it. I sorta educated her quickly, but also felt awful and angry that people can still think like that today. I guess the pain is still internalized in me.
