Why Are Reverend Wright Videos Disappearing from YouTube?
NR - Media ^ | March 17, 2008 | Greg Pollowitz

Posted on 03/17/2008 1:46:20 PM PDT by bahblahbah

I had a really good post all ready to go.  There was a video posted by the Trinity United Church of Christ, which I found on their YouTube page, of Louis Farrakhan being honored with the Jeremiah A. Wright Trumpeter awardIt's gone from YouTube.  And there was a video of disgraced Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick receiving a similar awardIt's gone from YouTube, too.

But the one I'm really mad about is the one of the church's new pastor, Otis Moss III, talking about gangster rap and crack cocaine.  They pulled that one, as well.  Maybe it had something to do with his blaming gangster rap on suburban white kids and big corporate media.  I didn't really follow his logic, but somehow Ronald Reagan and AOL were involved and there's a hint that the same people who created gangster rap also created crack cocaine.

Although the video is gone, this blogger has a partial transcript:

Moss, continuing on his historical review of hip-hop: "But then something happened in 1984 at the same time that Time Warner/AOL and SONY and MCA realized they could make money off of this music, guess what, we will give you a contract and distribute your song if you put in the N-word, if you put in the H-word, if you put in the B-word...so when we talk about gangsta rap, we are not talking about something that came from the street, we are talking about what came from the corporate boardrooms...

"And the same time that gangsta rap rises, we also have crack hitting the streets...I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's mightily strange that gangsta rap and crack hit the same time in our community."

I guess I'm just cherry-picking, right?

Youtube was wild west until Google took over. Now that Google dominates the search market, they censor news to fit their views.

And of course, the white man in the blue shirt rode the green bicycle through the red light,

and the San Diego Padres (the name is obviously a slur on Brown People of Color) and the Washington Redskins (the name is obviously a slur on Red People of Color) lost the World Series and the Super Bowl respectively, after both teams had allowed Black men to lose to teams with White men on them, obviously to further degrade Black men everywhere!

ALL IN THAT SAME YEAR, 1984 !!!!!

That proves it, doesn't it ?

Great!

Most conservatives have thick skins and can put up with the crap we receive at you-tube, but it would be outstanding to be able to present vids that reflect conservative values without being subjected to their spurious and arbitrary control over what gets shown.

A lot of conservative folks are currently going to Newsmax.com, Newsbusters.com, and Breitbart.com to view videos (in addition to Michelle Malkins site and others). FreeRepublic.com would be a natural for this.

Thanks,

From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

Happens every time a leftist is exposed.

The commies running youtube did this on their own.

The DBM are thankful for Bear Stearns. Now they can flood the news cycle with that, and Hussein can cover his tracks.

cherry-picking

I just went to YouTube and it seem to me that there were lots of Wright videos there. I'd be interested to know where all these videos came from in the first place; and also are there any Wright videos which might be described as benign?

John McCain will censor us as much as Hitlery and Obama.

He wrote the McCain/Feingold bill which OULAWED the Right to Life and the NRA running ads that criticized politicians during an election.

Don’t be foolded, McCain hates conservatives, and if he becomes president he’ll do his best to push bills that outlaw dissenting opinions from being heard during elections, whether it’s in newspapers, on the TV, radio or on internet forums like Free Republic.

At least if Hitlery gets in the GOP will summon what little testosterone they have left and fight any further restrictions on our 1st Amendment rights to free speech.

If McCain is the president, though, you can guarentee that the GOP will just smile limply and meekly go along with whatever censorship of the NRA and Right to Life that McCain wants.

I had the opportunity to listen to both Rush’s show and Michael Medved’s show (a rarity for me anymore). They both thoroughly dissected osama-obama and Wright~is~wrong.

Obama is reacting reflexively to the revelations of his racist mentor, and in the process digging his personal hole ever deeper. His protestations that he wasn’t aware of the hate speech delivered at the church he attended for 20 years rings hollow and disingenuous. His dodge that the hateful words need to be viewed through a “black” lens in order to “properly be appreciated” should be rebuffed by all Americans as offensive and racist.

Like another world-class loser, john F’n kerry, obama boldly stated at an early age that he would someday be President. He set out on a deliberate course to achieve that goal, but at the same time he laid the snares that are now tripping himself up. Unless he truly believes that racist attitudes are acceptable behavior, he would have been best served to avoid an outspoken racist like Wright like the plague. He did just the opposite.

The best part of this whole dust up is the angst of his followers who now feeeeeeeel that they’ve been deceived. They burned their bridges, emotionally speaking, with regards to hillary! so now which way do they turn?!

Does anyone know how long Wright has been at this church? Is it really over 20 years, or has he been there only 8? (A lib told me today that she read he was only the church’s pastor for the last 8 years.)

Look to the owner of the video - the person who uploaded it as the person responsible for removing it. YouTube will remove videos for terms of use violations, like copyright and porn. It is quick and easy for the owner to remove a video they uploaded. Ask the person who did the upload why they removed a video. If you have a YouTube id you can send them a message. The likelyhood of an answer is slim.

McCain/Feingold - thanks for the reminder.

It seems that no matter what we'll be fighting and struggling against our own national President. Sigh.

Not to mention McCain/Kennedy, or Lieberman/McCain ("While the measured failed by a vote of 43 to 55, the vote demonstrated growing bipartisan support for a genuine climate change policy"), etc..

Rush has the audio archived. As long as the audio is around, they can’t censor all of it.

Amen to that, I forgot his horrible “globe-bull warming” bill with his good buddy Teddy Kennedy!
