"lol so this is what racism feels like? that's a first..."

"This seems a lot like discrimination in my book."

"Open racism.... nice."

"This is why Trump won."

"Guys report this video: Harmful or Hateful content"


And many more!

My favorite: "gently caress off (((you))) pieces of poo poo. I really hope you know these videos (canada one as well) Will ONLY serve to further "radicalise" our people. Get loving ready for 2017 you cunts. It will be a lot worse for you."

I get that the commenters are retarded (like on every single website, but seemingly in greater concentration on yahoo and youtube) but what exactly is the purpose of this video? I mean, who is it trying to convince? the soft and helpless left already agrees with everything this video said, and Society's Winners will never see it, or if they do, it's not like it's going to move the needle. Am I missing some 12th dimensional chess poo poo here or something? or is this just attention seeking behavior by the young adults at MTV?

I don't think it's the fact that the commenters are retarded, but just the absolute rage backlash from across the internet to this vid is hilarious. (also the downvotes) https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/5jemo7/mtvs_idiotic_new_video_new_years_resolutions_for/

I don't think it's trying to convince anyone of anything other than white peeps (of the nerdy internet variety) are incredibly sensitive to being criticized and fervently state they are now the victimized party.

Huh, it (the video) seemed more like a whiny list of grievances from a group of people who didn't get their way for the first time ever, and now they're acting out. I'm a father of 2, i've seen this behavior before.

The video is tongue in cheek dumb humor and the only reason you'd find it "whiny" is if it hit a sensitive nerve for you. I mean we did elect Trump this year so white people do definitely have much to improve on.

I'd be upset if this video was aimed at black guys or muslim women or any other group. Criticizing people based on race & gender is something to get away from. I don't understand the idea that the societal pendulum of prejudice needs to keep swinging when (at least in the US) we've made great strides together over the past hundred years bringing people up rather than putting them down.

It's probably not a generational thing but rather a product of what environment you grew up in. I grew up in a predominantly black and latino community and clowning on "white people" is a funny joke and lacks any particular malice. Big contrast to a white person making fun of black people or criticizing them but I guess that distinction is difficult for some who haven't been exposed to it.

Making fun of white people is the most sacred tradition we in the black community have and white people are not very good at it

So, you think this was aimed at predominantly black and latino communities? That makes more sense, I think. Black people do think like this, white people do think like this

It is supposed to convince you that MTV is still a hip fun progressive cool brand for young white people to show how cool and good they are

It is a branding exercise

A few decades ago some guy had a dream about his children being judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

Thankfully, he was completely unimportant so we can ignore him & instead focus on "White guys do a thing like this. Black guys do a thing like THIIIIIIS" instead.
