      Hard to say the brand but they are visibly using Lavalier mics.

    May THE CREATOR grant us all the best understanding and tolerance for each other.

    why is this channel disabling comments from the BLM video? how do you get other peoples perspective when you shut down conversation?

      I'll check that right now for you

      Oxford union channel is afraid of debates that don't fit their narrative

    • @joecarre8369
      @joecarre8369 7 років тому +3

      its one thing to have a perspective and sharing your opinion, but when you get outright racism and general assholery like 50% of the opposing arguments in the blm video, it is probably better to disable comments

    • @wickedpsyched7162
      @wickedpsyched7162 7 років тому +1

      we're letting trolls decide what can be discussed?

    • @joecarre8369
      @joecarre8369 7 років тому +1

      Matthew Moran​ yeah genuine discussion and proper debate would be fantastic and probably actively encouraged by the union, but again that's not what 50% of the comments were about

    Tired of the wealthy progressives talking about others “privilege”. Speak for yourself if you wish, stop blaming others as if you are the heroine.

    Strange. Only BLM video has disabled comments and ratings.

  • @wickedpsyched7162

    is this book fiction or non-fiction?

    • @wickedpsyched7162
      @wickedpsyched7162 7 років тому +1

      where is the video footage of this rally she made up in her head/got from the movie American history x

    • @nahidsyyed906
      @nahidsyyed906 4 роки тому +1

      Jodi's works are mostly autobiographical so they are definitely non-fiction plus when she provides a pen-picture of a certain character or situation she does intensive research, makes field trips to gain first hand knowledge.

    • @endezeichengrimm
      @endezeichengrimm Рік тому +1

      She only writes fiction as far as I have seen.

  • @wickedpsyched7162
    @wickedpsyched7162 7 років тому +4

    very one sided narrative

    • @hylkewesterhuis9667
      @hylkewesterhuis9667 7 років тому +1

      +Matthew I would even call 'one sided' a terrific understatement concerning this 'narrative'. My feelings&thoughts are in a real 'turmoil' after listening to/through the entire 'narrativ' i.e. brain-w/b-ashing. :_[[ hYlkeW

      Yes, because this is a VIEW POINT. We NEED to hear and to see other people's viewpoints to learn more about the common ideas we SHARE and to 'try on' someone else's shoes to see where they LEAD US. Grandma Shellie in Sunrise

    Not painfully white enough to move obviously.
