Got a message from @YouTube about some actions they want to take to support Black creators. Here's my response to that. @SusanWojcicki what's good?
One of the white supremacists who makes videos on your site, James Allsup was at the rally that killed Heather Heyer. He RAN FOR OFFICE. He's so vile that REPUBLICANS voted unanimously to strip him of any power related to his position. YouTube believes his videos should stay up.
The guy I sued for reuploading my content, yeah he made rape threats against his opponent in a political race in the UK. He lost. YouTube believes they should leave his channel up. (my email to YT about this on the right). I'm done being quiet.)
I'm on the verge of selling my excellent sketch show, and so if there's any silver lining it's that without a doubt YouTube really lost out on me and so many other talented black creators by ignoring us for YEARS.
Ask me how many hours on the phone, how many countries I have traveled to, how many zoom calls and conferences and emails and petitions and and and I've had to do to convey to YouTube what the obvious solution is. I mean, even Twitter deleted their accounts. But YouTube
The racism wasn't enough to get rid of Milo. @YouTube waited until it became pedophilia. Because to them racism isn't ALSO bad. Isn't ALSO sinister. Doesn't HURT black children, or black children just don't matter?
Why haven’t any @YouTube engineers resigned? Y’all really saying Facebook has more integrity?
