Ok brother, since you question my understanding of the video let me summarize your premise. You would like to teach brother and sister how to discern between objective statements verses a subjective statement. Usually this is done to authenticate or legitimize a subject. Subjects of IMPORTANCE. Subjective Information is a result of the feeling from a Subject while Objective is detached: impersonal reports of facts

[ForChangeMovement]

Thinking objectively simply means that a person is looking at things from many perspectives rather than one limited perspective. Looking at a writing and trying to determine whether its author was objective or not is a different thing entirely.

Now IMPORTANCE is something that you cannot determine for other people. Surely you know this. What is important to one person may not be important to another. So its fine if this video wasnt important to you. But it may have been to someone else.

[BugaBreath]

My statement or my subjective opinion was your report lacked importance. My statement can be supported by your inability to determine who the actual inventors were and by EAB showing more interest to your mic malfunction.

[ForChangeMovement]

LOL... EAB is one person. Your statement is supported by your opinion alone. Prove to us that this report lacks importance. If it lacked importance than why would someone create this story in the first place? Obviously whoever wrote it thought the subject was important. If it was important then debunking it is just as important or even more so...

FC there is many errors of fact in a variety of literature that is common knowledge to those who have had formal education. As a black man debunking such claims, many of which will draw certain inferences from your claims. Much of our experience as people of color is a direct relationship to how we are perceived. Not OBJECTIVE BROTHER SUBJECTIVE. Regarding respect, there was no disrespect intended. I saw a video about being sensitive maybe you want to take you own advise.

[ForChangeMovement]

Yes there are errors. In elementary school history books, for example. Does that make it right? No. People like Howard Zinn have pointed the errors in text regarding Chris Columbus. Should we tell him he is wrong for doing so and allow people to continue believing Columbus was a hero? NO! And im sure you would have never said word one had i debunked Columbus. But since I debunked black people you have a problem.

Im glad u know my work. Im not sensitive I am simply responding to u.

Chi thank you so much for this video people need to know & understand that..... I'm sick of black people making up false theories in the name of quote on quote black pride it actually does do more harm than good

[TheDreamReborn]

I am curious to why you gave this video 4/5 stars. What messed up the perfect rating?

Myhouserulesshit is a fine one to accuse people of lying as he told a massive one that he owns a Honda Jet when the sales reps informed me that they won't even be rolling out of the production line until "some time in 2010"! Anyone can check the facts on that one and it should make it abundantly clear that nothing the turd has to say is valid -

Diversity is perversity.
