Wow the censorship Nazis alive and well on Gather
I recently posted a video called Read A Book Remix on Gather. Some pinhead flagged it as hate speech so it can't be displayed publically on gather. First of all this is absolutely redicules, because there is nothing hateful or racest about the video. It is a spoof on the video aired on BET repeatedly which attempts to give young people a positive message by using gangsta rap (to get to the kids that listen to that type of music). Face it that genre is filled with violent lyrics. It promotes drug dealing, murder, rape, disrespecting of women etc. No one flags gangsta rap as hate speach, but a song that tells a kid to read, buy land, brush their teeth and raise their kids is hate speech. You people are out of you damn minds, or perhaps you just know what you are doing. Perhaps you prefer young African American kids to be encouraged to break the law, not get educated, and to disrespect women. Perhaps secretly you are a racest piece of shit and don't like that someone is telling black kids to get an education. I for one hope that the message reaches the intended audience and is taken to heart. The only problem I could see with video is that not only black kids listen to gangsta rap. Which is why my video is the Cracka addition. It's called satire for all you uninformed morons out there. Flagging it is UNAMERICAN! Perhaps I should start flagging everything I disagree with. Whatever happened to "I disagree with what he says but I'll defend to the death his right to say it!" You disgust me. I openly invite whoever the coward was that was so offended by the video to flag it (But did not comment on it) to comment on this. Please, state exactly what you feel makes it hate speach. Bu keep in mind the authorof the original video and song are both African

Gather does not allow "[t]he use of slurs or malicious stereotypes intended to denigrate a particular gender, sexual orientation, race, religion, or nationality".
I saw a video on YouTube that fits the description of Read A Book Remix; it contains such slurs and stereotypes.
While it is more than obvious that Read A Book Remix is not promoting those slurs and stereotypes, the rule is against the use of such slurs and stereotypes, there is no allowance for good causes.
