so Sia released a new video recently, The Greatest, which is about the Orlando Pulse Shooting
and it's damn beautiful I love it, thank you Sia
But god, the fucking comments.
I LOVE THE MV BUT GOD, PEOPLE
Yeah there's plenty of supportive comments about people feeling sympathetic about it, wishing well for the Pulse victims even now?
But there's still just... every now and then, a comment about how all Muslims are bad, people still fucking thinking that Islam automatically means you're a terrorist
like......... NO, first off, you do not fucking use a tragedy like this to try to justify your racist beliefs
second off, it's just utterly wrong in general
And I'm just on this mini-roll out of sheer boredom because no one is online at 7-8pm here, and I come across Black Eyed Peas's updated WHERE IS THE LOVE, right
The comments include shit like "Black Eyed Peas? Why not White Eyed Peas? Racists." AND IM LIKE
THEY WERE LITERALLY SINGING.... ABOUT HOW PEOPLE NEED TO STOP DISCRIMINATING AND HATING..... AND LEARN TO LOVE EACH OTHER.........
to prevent tragedies like the wars in the middle east and the police brutality against black americans???
how the fuck is that racist
Especially when william is black, apl de ap is half-black? taboo is partially native american? FERGIE IS WHITE AND SHE'S SINGING ABOUT IT TOO?
I dont even have an appropriate emote to express myself
I can't believe this comment section literally made me read "Black lives matter? No, all lives matter" with my own two eyes
"Lol on a song called "Where's The Love" saying we should be more positive, and the idiots in the comment section are all hating on Trump, the only one trying to fucking help us all." MMMMMMM ABORT ABORT ABORT
people are so frustrating, and Im not SURPRISED but it just irritates me to no end that people are still like this
I was literally going to phrase the police brutality as "the recent bouts of police brutality" before I realised it's far from recent anymore, Michael Brown was killed two years ago
poc and lgbtqa+ be like "hey can you stop killing us" and white people/cishets be like "lmao you all playing the victim game lolol" it's because they ARE victims, fucking christ
BEP: "dont just love your own race, love everybody"
commenters: "BEP is racist"
me:
me:
me:
This is why I literally never read YouTube comments anymore
