Embracing Criticism

[Kussdernacht]

U look hurt, why do you do all this videos? (i saw embrasing racism II first)

[Xelanderthomas]

@Kussdernacht What do you mean why do I do them? Dude, these are some of my best videos. They mock the shit out of these assholes.

[Kussdernacht]

@Xelanderthomas

I know, its just that I wouldn't have the guts to do it... because i would be afraid of the responces..

[Xelanderthomas]

@Kussdernacht That's what make me Xelander and you not!  ;-P

[packjim56]

Thank you for cheering me up tonight. This has been excellent therapy for me. Your videos are very good stress relievers. Seriously, I think my blood pressure has gone down 10 points after I finished all fits of laughter. Good medicine.

[acrow11]

Smiles....

[ABSOLUTEAMI]

You are great!

[Nicegirl74]

Did anybody ever figure out what "commeebts" are? Maybe it's something just too deep for the rest of us to understand.........!

[InVisible2U]

I couldn't push the subscribe button fast enough! You, Sir, are a brilliant, hilarious man!

[Iijima]

Very true, sir. Growing up, I hated criticism but now Ive learned how to take things in stride and work on things if I truly feel like its something that can make me a better person.

[FelineNationD]

You're inspirational. Really, I think you're a beautiful person. That's all I have to say.

[mxer4]

mateF! the criticism..positive criticism is ok..but when they say you shouldnt learn german because you are black :( there stupid

[Xelanderthomas]

Yeah, that's really stupid. It's ignorant.

[Keverprins]

Apperently stupidity/racism (what's the difference?? XD) will never disappear. But luckily there are awesome people like you!!

[xxxd0ughb0yxxx]

Ok this is the third video of yours that i tried to watch to see if you were a good vlogger but your obviously not, so stop kissin the white mans ass and quit trying to insult people inderectly , you ignorant ass old man.

[Xelanderthomas]

I have 163 videos what other ones have you watched? And I'm not trying to kiss anybody's ass and most people I insult, I insult directly, not indirectly.

[NegroXFile]

this is dumb!

[Ni55anicky]

lol idk wut it is but im still laughin, about time someone put the h8ers in thier place, like ur vid 5/5 and good luck to the exterminator guy

[XUltra00]

LOL. You're so funny! :)

[BabyBrianna2000]

[DaNtHeMaN3113]

Seriousley people, if you´re going to be haters theN atleast make the comments readable for people! xD (Don´t know if i said it right . . .) a w00t 4 XeLaNDeR!!!

[Sliptodance]

He's a c4rd.

[holsisyolswa]

mate this is one real character.

[booglain]

absolute genius...

[GearXGear]

fuck the haters .... -___- they have to much freetime

[Omakeekee]

Xelander ROCKS! One of the funniest men on YouTube! A master of timing IMHO.

Oma

[dstevens101]

That was hysterical!

Thanks!

[0sterman]

Your embracing criticism series is the best.. that's the way to handle haters, good job

[Hewson60]

LOL - That reminds me of a movie with Pierre Richard where he gets insulted, but stays cool. I have the scene favorited (it´s in french).

cu

[Xelanderthomas]

I'll look for it.

[Hewson60]

It´s called "La Chevre" and the scene is beginning at 1.56.

I will try to find it in german, if you want.

cu

[Xelanderthomas]

That would be very cool.

[Physhi]

All of these commeebts were made by the whiteman.

[PCBIZNUSS]

LMAO!

[gothikanger72]

This just goes to prove that the fundamental attribution error is embraced by the uneducated.

Thanks again for sharing,

The Token White Man

[locolingo]

You are brilliant! This is your medium. What the hell are you doing for a living if you're not using this talent? I am now a subscriber. And may I say, thank you.

[musiclover1958]

ROTFL!

You're hilarious! I found you through the bread making lady.

I have to subscribe. YOu're hilarious!

[Chordwayze]

Prejudice is what fools use for reason: Voltaire...

Good luck mon ami.

[ucrax13]

I LOVE YOU AND YOUR WONDERFUL MIND!!!

Nothing as ignorant as a boring hater.

[MexicanMafiaMS13]

Nigger...puhleeze!

[TheDailyMonk]

lol nice, ill check out some more of your videos before i subscribe :D

[Stewdza]

It seem to substantiate what I've seen where I'm based. Learned and professional white people do treat people of other races with respect. Mostly its those benefit dependant loosers scrounging about who boast about educating other nationals. One day down a local pub I had a chat with this fella I ended telling him about the history of his country he had absolutely no clue of. Subsequently he went mental when I tried to correct his spellings when he started filling a job application form...

[lilcoco77007]

I LOOKED AT YOUR RESPONCE AS OF HOW SOME PEOPLE: KKK, Kamau Kambon, Hitler, etc. FOR EXAMPLE SOUND IGNORANT PRACTICALLY!!!

Personally, I belive that hate comes in all shades.

[Xelanderthomas]

Me too.

[BiracialGoddess]

What on Earth are white commeebts?

[Xelanderthomas]

It's coming up on a year since I made this and I still don't know. I think....think he was trying to say white comedians. It's the only think I can think of.

[SKVNGE]

commeebts

commeents

comments?

n is right next to be on the keyboard. maybe that was it?

[Xelanderthomas]

oh, right, right. That must be it.

[BiracialGoddess]

The things you describe in this vid are exactly why people disable comments.

[Xelanderthomas]

Well, I'd never do that. I would lose 25% of my material for videos ;)

Just see me as sort...an asshole scavenger. Like a vulture. I circle around waiting for assholes to drop their asshole comments then I plunge and prey on them. hee heee heee

[BiracialGoddess]

Lol! I see your point , let the assholes drop their crap.

[piratebri]

omg. sides hurt so much.

LOL

this was awesome man.

I love seeing those mad ramblings in the comment sections.

[Xelanderthomas]

Me to. I consider my videos as tributes to them. lol

[CrazyDiamond76]

Classic! I sit there and read comments like that one too and wonder how completely ignorant and socially inept you have to be to talk that way. Where can I learn to write commebts like that? lol Do you think they run special courses at college or is it just a natural born talent? ;D

5***** Stads

[Xelanderthomas]

LOL ha haha

[catherinetodd]

I wish I could be more like you!

[Xelanderthomas]

Thanks for all your comments.

[catherinetodd]

You are most welcome. I had just about given up on YouTube until you magically came along!

[brothaman1985]

yes sir I agree

[ultrachimp]

You're the funniest comedian I've seen on here...

[dawnelaine96]

That was great! Very funny.

[desolateangel83]

Doe anyone know what white commeebts are?

[stephensonselina]

Ow forget about it, I had to stop watching!!

Those comments are so bad!!! Well I'll just move on now!!!! I still think you are toooooooo funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Alura11]

that last negative posting that you read made no sense whatsoever!! That person needs to go back to school in the worst way!

Good on you for being the bigger man and accepting the criticisms, even the nonsensical ones!

[wireless247]

Haha your great. Ignore them and keep on posting.

[tikopoo]

u da man

[shimobe94]

"Thank you. I take that under advisement." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHA! *fu-dump*

Ooh, crap. Sorry. Laughed my ass off, there. Um, let me just pick that up and, uh, I'll be on my way. Thank you.

[deladie]

I really love your approach to life.

[vizdotnu]

people could always disable comments too!

[Xelanderthomas]

Well I'd never do that cause I love this shit too much. I'd lose 30% of video ideas if not for the haters. But it's funny you said that, though, because people who do turn off comments are criticized for doing that. Funny huh?

[rainmaker1974]

lol wtg funny

[rhodescabbin]

LMAO!!!!!!!!! Very well done!!!

[scyldschefing]

I think that you dwelt too long on that one last comment... but good show, good show. I salute you, sir! *muted applause*

[lasdhkfdslhdlshaf]

THIS IS BULLSHIT!!!...I CANT BELIEVE IT!!! WHERES THE PART WHEN HE RIDES THE PURPLE ROLLCOASTER WHILE SNORTING COKE OFF A HOOKERS ASS!??!? WHAT A RIPOFF!! haha

[666unholysatan666]

lol that dudes that wrote that comment is retarded, /m/ awesome tho

[sounirvalice1]

LMFAO that end cuss dosnt even make sence.... even a computer can form a cognitive sentance. or even a mouse walking on random keys on a keyboard

[asscrackben]

You are Brilliant !

[stringtheories25]

LOLOL

[KGeert]

You're to great to get bothered by such mean comments.

Great video :-)))

[Veralucy]

Very thanks to show me this Kris(Shred)!

[bentonio07]

LOL - hilarious!!!

[TFR2087]

hahahahahahhaahahh

[theloathlydaddy]

You're a genius, thanks for this. Brilliant work.

[terryseviltwin]

don't you just love it when people criticize black comedians as house n**** when they are funny! are only white people allowed to be funny? what's up with that? i only recently found you xelander and i LOVE your stuff!

[wynnschr]

I love you Xelander!!!

[Sublimey123]

I laughed out loud while watching this!!!! Probably one of the funniest things I have seen on youtube!!!

[Laochra]

Which is exactly why I never post my stuff! Great stuff as always!!

[lukensal]

comneebts ? lol

[putittogether]

ysabellabrave is not brave, she deletes comments everyday, and has her groupies notify her of criticism. Not for demeaning, abusive or threating language, but for an opinion. What a freak.

[Xelanderthomas]

And that has what to do with this video?

[zenhill]

steady on there -putitogether-, ysaybellabrave makes great, positive, videos that benefit people. It is her page and she can choose to leave or delete any comments she likes. There is a good reason why she has so many subscribers...

[WAITES1234]

Alex i am trying to say something sh......so you can handle that ...ummmmmm thinking ???????Not happening because i wuv you ,,,i have seen this vid before and always makes me laugh ...you are so good HUGs Y xx

[JonPatric]

Your tasteful critisim of haters is Wunderbar! I wonder how they will take yours *GRIN!*

[qdiddy10q]

I feel you all the way, bro.

--

Q-S

[GUIZELLADAY]

i enjoyed your vid, i like your style.

[moltanlavafalls]

'See...I can handle that......'

individuals are the only ones making sense in the world. nothing like watching a fearless man in action.

[ashb7]

lmao, excellent bro.

[Beaze17]

Yo Xelander I admire the whole embracing criticism series.There are so many racist people on youtube and i have had to deal with a few on my page aswell. Now im kinda young im 18 and I tend to let my temper get the better of me lol I just wish i had thought of responding to there hate like this rather than have given them the satisfaction of actualy affecting my mood.Keep the good vids coming!

[solitary2911]

ha! thats funny and classy.

[angeleyz63]

You have class!!! I love how you read the negative comments as articulately as they were written, while calmly pointing out their grammar errors. LOL.

[bathsheba57]

My dear Mr. X- I love you and I don't even know you! Your combination of humility PLUS bewilderment is real comedy and very refreshing. Everytime I see blatant misspellings in crass criticism it makes me want to write back to the critic with his mistakes corrected! Have you thought of a carreer as an English Teacher, hahaha? Keep your chin up- now I'm off to see your videos!

[Xelanderthomas]

Thank you.  I hope you find others you enjoy

[bathsheba57]

OMG. I misspelled career! Boy, is my face red! ;^)

[Xelanderthomas]

Hey, I misspell all the time. I just mess with these guys cause if they are going to send me messages talking trash about me then they better make sure it's readable or I'm going jump on it.

[50gangsta3636]

pls :D add me as friend or i cant send ya a message:(

[sloopy312]

I started fighting for Civil Rights about 50 years ago. I got slammed from the pulpit as the Bible was used to justify segregation, I lost a few jobs, was called a few names. In High School I was called the "Non Conformist". But I had friends in all circles and always tried to show respect. Today I fight for gay rights, but someday we will no longer fight and instead we will love all God's diversity. blaine

[RebukeTheWorld]

Brillantly wonderful! Inspiration, insight and maturity to know their stupidity doesnt deserve an reaction that causes us to feel enraged. ~Raven

[spokenlife]

I watched this again so I could refer Khayav to it and I'm telling you, just thinking about "Comeebts" I started cracking up long before you ever got to it. By the time you got there I was already in tears. This is just TOO TOO TOO FUNNY! Aw, gotta pull myself together!

[Xelanderthomas]

Thanks. You mean, I'm actually being referred?

[spokenlife]

Heck yeah, man!!!

[ChelseaLeeCook]

LMFAO! I loved this. Some people are so immature and comment with stupid things like that to say. I'm glad that you are mature enough to laugh in there faces about it-without even really doing that.

[ChelseaLeeCook]

Oh..sorry "their" hahaha. :P

[jmr604]

Good job man. :)

[hoomelemele]

Mr. X you da man. shit, excuse me, you are the man.

FYI "commeebts": a radical, underground white superim (shit, no spell check -- you know the guys) group comprised of communists and vegetables.

xoxox going to watch more of your vids.

[bathsheba57]

hahahahahahaha!

[polizuelanmami]

I love you! You're great.  Your honesty is refreshing....

[BekiBi]

oh man, I had to laugh at that ending part of the comment you read off. I respect and applaud your effort in trying to interpret horrible grammar and spelling. I was just curious if it's possible to take anything like "u suk" as criticism or even recieve it graciously? Is laughing being gracious? Teach me your ways! >3<

[dan1span]

Dude. your a legend.

[addipants]

commeebts might be comments

[goodtimes0000]

i like this guy, keep it real thomas!

[brawli2010]

lol You are my hero! Haven't seen an art as genuine as this in years. Thank you. Great job!

[tubeeorrnottubee]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

That is HILARIOUS! I LOVE your polite, kid-glove handling of the completely ridiculous!!! HAHAHAHA TOO FUNNY! I LoVe it!!!

Great point I got from it.. If you want to offer a criticism, at LEAST make some SENSE for one to LEARN from!

...."commeebeetss"?!?!?!?!?! HAHAHAHAHA ..I'm sorry.. I'm not being as respectful about this one as you were.. I just wonder if the POSTER even knew what s/he meant there! HAHAHA

Take care kind one~ :) *****

[roadlesswandering]

I'm not a white commeebeetsss....and I think it's hilarious!!!!I understand the sarcasm and the satire!!! Too funny! Thoughtful humor!!!

[FridaLoves2Sing]

Haha, too funny ^^

[sweetestmocha]

very very true.  lol! great video! lol

[majorunderscore]

Good video. :-)

[robertanton]

That first buffoonery comment is talkn about Mr. Pregnant. LOL. 99% of the comments on this thing are from ignorant children who can't even spell what they want to say. Why embrace them, don't lower yourself.

[Xelanderthomas]

Once you get used to some of my scarcastic satiric wit, you'll know that that is the whole point, my friend. Thanks.

[a021]

thats so awesome. i found it to be hilarious. your awesome lol.

[LittleYukonLady7]

You're great! Loved your video

[trance12]

ROFLMAO... gotta love illiterates!

[HappyAssassin]

What a Assholes that discriminate.. what a assholes...

YOURE GREAT!!:P

[depletable]

lawls

[matt3118]

Oh man, the best part about the people who make those mean comments is that non of them have any grammar or spelling skills.

[ishbo22]

lmfao awesome

[DanCdn]

You're the best.

[scummy1985]

omg it's danny glover!11!!!!!!!

Fight preditor!!!!!! ahhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[xrebratkax]

There (Their? They're) needs to be more like you. :) The key thing is...don't take it personally, it's tough to take personally, when technically it's not a personal attack. They don't know YOU.  Take good care & thanks for the laugh.

[liquidmajic]

This is a valuable video.

[Masterpower155]

Very good ... :)

[stanno34]

I've never seen any of your videos but, I like what you had to say here.... 5 stars and now I'm a subscriber!!! Top stuff!!

[kurisuboi]

U Rock Dude!!

[NiggerBuster]

I think you need to be standing next to Chris Rock on stage.

[Calistro]

Just because of the way you said these I'm subscribing; you are my personal hero.

[GonzoBillTong]

Yeah these people suck Black people Rules IM a White guy.

[otchacha]

well said! and with some good ol' comedy too!!

[PMRMentors]

funny. Funnnnnnnnnny.

[Ebuverthebicepcurler]

Ha- this is funny. Wait, this is dumb and gerneric.Wait- I sould go to sleep and see this again to find if it is funny.

[NiggerBuster]

Do you mean "Baboons"?

[Doblosky19]

omg this video is hilarious one of the funniest video's i've ever seen on you tube!!

[maciek4]

Perhaps these people who made comments don't know English very well because its not their native language. Mine is Polish, I learned English in school.

[Xelanderthomas]

Oh, no, these folks are Americans. African-Americans. I assure you.

[chileman101]

That was one of the funniest and saddest things I've seen on YouTube. Thanks.

[spokenlife]

COMMEEBTS!!! Wow. If I ever decide to become a nasty, racist pig I'll have to unlearn all my words!!!

[Akraix18]

It's awesome that you do have an open mind for criticism, because I agree that it can make you a better person. But damn, with comments like those....I don't even know what to say about those people!

[bwhahrhr]

This is the 6th Video of yours I watched in a row, and I cant stop watching / laughing. Finaly someone who puts truley enjoyable content to this site.

[Medical8]

Sorry BWhahrhr, I was not able to post a comment so I am using yours and replying just to say that I agree with you and to say that the reason your image keeps going out of focus is because you did not set you camara to manual focus. Just a tip...keep up the good work.

[Strunz21LEON]

Thanks for doing this, appreciated.

[Diamondgurlz]

You're very funny <3 it!!

[sprichbeeke]

Great video...love you ironic style!

[SagaraRyou]

Hahahahahaaaaaaa... your last line made the entire video. Well done.  :)

[GovernorWatts]

I love getting illiterate comments. They remind me how much smarter I am than the rest of mankind. Moronic ramblings are fertilizer on my ego garden.

[MyThailand]

I fully support your efforts in confronting the hidden minority that hide behind their fake User Names and jab at a well produced video that perhaps as taken hours to develop.

I have yet to view a video by any of these cheap shot artists that even comes close to a fair response to their opinion(s) or beliefs.

Keep up the great YouTube productions and Heads Up Always!

[Xelanderthomas]

Thanks, I don't mind, in fact welcome a true critical veiw of any of my stuff.

[actionscripted]

I love you.

[puzz912]

awesome!!

[prayforjonas]

You should have your own show.

[WileyCoyote69]

prayforjonas, he does. Go look at his other videos.

What he needs is better exposure. Legitimate Off-Broadway one man show stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with Ithaca, mind you. :-)

This is a great video too. I love how he straddles the line between sly sarcasm and making a very good, serious point.

[shewbawka]

LMAO that was hillarious. Ripped the guy who wrote that 2nd commment apart.

Keep it up

[iz1012]

Lol, I hope they hear this.

[Sonnie55]

In your videos you exhibit what I call in fine art such as painting, "an artist unique handwriting." I can sense your unique style laced throughout all of your videos I've watched so far. In my opinion, you are past the small stuff. You are serious about acting, you're intelligent, and seem very comfortable with who you are--even like who you are! Buffoonery is just not in your videos.

[coldshower33]

If you ever find yourself in D.C. come to 2300 good hope road and ask anybody in the complex for big tank if you think Im just an internet tough guy. What happen ro rhe native americans I guess that boared and left all this land to the white people.

[thewonderfulbeagle]

Have the people on here are horrible at criticizing.

Good videos man.

[coldshower33]

Its sad that you cant look around see what the yell is going on. I am not going to wast my time trying to prove to fools like yourselves how serious the problem is with people of color around thw world I am only sad that he didnt include two sambos like you in the idea of getting ride of the beast the white man . hope I run into you one day I will help with your dental plan

[Wolfguarde]

Oh yell no..you come up in here with your prenumptions about afro-Caribbeans that The White Man is spreading and act all internet tough when ITS YOU that needs to step down and realize your not in network for his Dental Plan.

So chill

[BippityBoppityBop]

umm... you scare me. And my teeth are just fine, thank you very much.
