It's amazing to me how often this video is recurringly relevant.

With that being said, I would hope that anybody having these types of conversations can muster at least a modicum of the tact that this man possesses. And if they can't, they should back away slowly. We'll all be better off.

Some people simply forget how to behave or never knew at all.

Hahaha, what the heck is happening in that fig? [I'm calling them figs from now on, three cheers for awesome typos!]

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

lol, fig.

I think it's Cheryl Cole being herself.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Haha I don't even know who that is. *feels out of the loop*

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen her actually do anything except appear in gifs. I know her name through fandom osmosis.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Fandom osmosis. So THAT explains why I know the names of characters on shows I've never seen!

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

YES! I don't watch Gossip Girl, but I know the characters and relationships.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I know um, Blair and Dan? But that's about as far as I know. Oh oh! I know Chuck THE RAPIST. See, I know more than I even thought I did. Fandom does weird things to you.

Ianto!

[I know what that word means! OMG.]

[kiki-miserychic.livejournal.com]

I know Chuck as the fashion diva that flirts with guys and makes out with pretty ladies named Blair in limos.

There's a Carter, Jack, Serena, Nate, Georgina, Jenny, and a Lilly. I know too much. I should just watch the darn show.

[toestastegood.livejournal.com]

That is a fantastic video.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Agreed.

[wondygal.livejournal.com]

I love this guy.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

He's very articulate.

[meresy.livejournal.com]

Ah, Jay Smooth. How ILU.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes.

[hypertwink.livejournal.com]

Yup, one fandom should be emailed this vid en masse. Sheesh.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Hmm, whichever fandom could that be?

[hypertwink.livejournal.com]

Not that the accusations are wrong/uncalled for, I just felt that all the namecalling derailed the discussion somewhat.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

I completely and wholeheartedly agree with you. Thank you!

I've seen this vid before, but thanks for sharing it (again). I feel like his last line - "I don't care about what they are, I care about what they did" - is applicable in a lot of situations, even outside the bounds of race relations and discussions on racism.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Oh definitely. Jsmooth is one smart cookie.
