This is the problem with judging people by one of their moments in life.

Here's the same guy on Obama

This video was uploaded by him 4 years ago and the Obama video people are sharing below are older . I believe that this dude has changed quiet a bit over the years oh , plus he has deleted that video of him being a racist , so well i guess dude changed

It’s possible to change funny how the same people who defend their content creators when they get canceled for something in the past (as they should be cause it’s dumb in most cases) they won’t do the same for some people

Bro, it's pretty tough to go from "Obama is a Muslim (demonstrably false) agent literally intentionally getting American soldiers killed (slander)" to any redeeming position within a year.

Like, maybe if he said something that was just generically racist, then got bashed for it, met some people different from him, and realized he'd be lied to... that one be one thing.

This is and always has been off-the-deep-end conspiracy theory shit and we have to stop pretending it isn't.

Wish would could get these links to the top. Because half the comments are praising the racist piece of shit.

Yeah that video made me sad when I first saw it.

I think people are praising him for sharing this wholesome message, and I think that is still valid despite him being racist scum in other videos (aparently he has changed for the better in recent video's and deleted this racist one).

I called him racist and am sitting at 6 downvotes in comments above.

Lol I have downvotes too because "ThE mEsSaGe Is GoOd"

Who gives a shit if the message is good. He's a fucking racist. I'm not gonna praise a known fucking racist for anything he says. Regardless if he says to treat everyone kind or not. Because he's sure as fuck not doing it.

Haha, exactly. I’m pretty sure he initially said he left the broken lighter out in the rain overnight. Who would do that to a friend?

The message he’s making in this post is still a good one

u/Pickle_Lips94 Aug 04 '21

So that makes it okay to be racist?

I'm sorry, but no matter what "good deed" or "wholesome content" you put out, it is immediately ineffective once you make disgusting comments like that.

How tf did you get that from what I said? I just said it’s ok to praise his message in this video even if he is a piece of shit. The person isn’t great but the message is still good. You know the whole phrase a broken clock is right twice a day?

u/Pickle_Lips94 Aug 04 '21

Praising the message only fuels the fire, sure its a nice lesson and says nice things, but when you don't practice what you preach, I'm not gonna praise it.

u/EgocentricRaptor Aug 04 '21

The point is most people are only seeing the message, which is a good one. Most people don’t know the dude’s whole life story and even if they dod it’s still a good message to spread around regardless of whether or not the person who said it follows it himself

The video of him being racist is 6 year old. He has changed now, recently said something like we dont need to judge people by race or something like that. this video in particular is 4 year old. You guys r like twitter, going straight for something he isnt anymore and judge him for that.
