Ya know, putting makeup on in a car can cause accidents, but recording YouTube blog entries should be just fine, I bet the other drivers on the rode can't wait to view this. I cook dinner on the way home in my car too.

HA HA!

I just want to say thank you to all of you for your thoughtful comments and for hanging in their with me and my vids (for those of you who keep on coming back). Much appreciation.

I can't even get to the end of this. Sorry. I don't mean to take that tone, but you say the same thing over and over again and take 10 minutes to say two minutes worth of material. I wanted to say this in a positive way, but didn't really. You'd get more views if you used editing and thought out your point first and got to it. Otherwise it makes watching your video a bit annoying. Sorry.

[spokenlife]

Thanks. I do pretty well with views though.

Spokenlife, I think I know what the confusion is. On Renetto's video it showed your video (which I love) in the related video section and could have been mistaken for a video response because that video said "I didnt want to say anything"

I know this because I stumbled on you due to the same reason and I am so glad I did. You seem like a very nice and decent person. Hoooray!!!

[spokenlife]

Thank you so much! Incidentally, "I didn't want to say anything" was a (hopefully) comic response to one of Khayav's videos. Totally unrelated to this entire issue! LOL

[movielota]

Thank you for a great response.

[movielota]

Thank you for that well thought out and intelligent response.

I see. But your first comment seemed to be dismissing population factor because of global access, but now you're saying it can't be global either because of lack of computers and/or broadband service.

Sounds like there are many factors. Is there any sign of broadband coming to South Africa soon?

[Graanvlok]

keithjosef: Yes...but people in Africa don't have computers...and where they have, they don't have broadband. I'm from South Africa, it sucks :p

[keithjosef]

Of course Youtube and the internet are global. My point is that to expect a large percentage of "black" people posting video on Youtube is a no-winner. It will never be equal [numbers wise]. Because the Youtube phenomena, although global, is still very much an American phenomena. That's my point. But since you do bring up global: shouldn't YOUTUBE's community be predominately people of color since there's more color on the globe than white? I'm making a point; not insulting your intellect.

[Graanvlok]

The country's population? What does that have to do with anything? Youtube, as the internet, is global?

all i think...black people need to relax
