I turned off the comments on the Comments on the Trayvon Martin Killing and 911 Tapes. I post it on the 17th of March and it has got 27,863 views so far. It had 904 comments. Many of the comments were racist from both sides. Many of the comments were threats. So I just turned off the comments. I hated to do it. I believe in letting people express themselves but I just felt that so many people were fucking with the comments. One thing some people were doing was marking messages they did not agree with as “spam.” That removed the comment until I reviewed the message and then I would turn it back on.
The comments also were very depressing. It is not the hundreds of comments that said I was old and going to die. Not the comments that said they wanted me and my family dead. Not even the comments that said I was a Republicans, a racist and a Texan.
What was so depressing is how stupid people are and how they do not seem to have the ability to understand anything. They also lock on to their prejudice and accept anything that supports it and reject anything that does not support their own prejudice.
It make me worry for the very survival of the United States.
I still have other videos on YouTube with the commenting turned on. I will see how it goes.
