Video: But he'll of course be praying while he hangs us

by Jeremy Hooper

The first part of this video, wherein the most low-tech attempt to connect homosexuality to pedophilia in YouTube history is displayed, will likely make you laugh. But then, around the 3:04 mark, when the line "two fags will hang from a tree" is uttered alongside a graphic depiction of said hanging, your "Ruh Roh -- there is still some serious ass craziness in this world" chip will likely supersede your ability to just laugh off the bias at play:

Catchy tune. And by that we don't mean it gets stuck in one's head. We mean it literally -- the tune wants to catch gays. So If you should hear someone humming it, fellow 'mos -- RRRRUUUUUUNNNNN!

Your thoughts

Remember, everyone, Youtube has a duty under some of it's countries laws not to promote hate speech (such as the UK for religion and race, or Germany or Ireland for sexuality)

So flag videos when they obviously contain hate speech, that way the video will be removed, we don't have to put up with it.

Yea, but I'm of two minds on that Corvidae. It's nice to see it pulled, but it's also nice (nicer?) to highlight it.

Or at least put a child warning on it? I don't want my sister or cousins to be exposed to hatred so early in their lives, modern society does not allow racism to reach the populace, nor should it allow any discrimination.
Can I ask why you say it's nicer to highlight it?

I hope that marker stays on their computer screen. And the colorful graphics they have are just the visualizations from Windows Media Player.

This is the most awful blood libel I've heard in a long time:

I think they might be coming for us soon (if it hasn't started already).

eeeew, he ruined alchemy random for me!

Michael, they've already tried that before.

Besides, there's not many queens I know of who can actually put a baby in their mouth - except maybe Ken Mehlman, and those huge rubbery dicksucking lips of his.

sometime i wonder how people can show such disrespect to each other.

I say keep the video up. I think it is good for people see the hatred and ignorance for themselves.

For some reason, the embedded video isn't working but you can still go to the page.

Corvidae asked: "Can I ask why you say it's nicer to highlight it?"

Well because I take Jake's perspective on this. This man, like so many others, took time out of his day to make a video specifically to bash gay people. People need to know that this still happens to us, and happens to us with an alarming frequency. So while I fully expect these vids to get pulled eventually, I think it's important to say, "OMG -- look at this crap" before it gets yanked. And I would say the same to a vid that targets any community.

Now that being said, I do think this one is a little different because of the explicit violence implied in the hanging gays. That's why I earlier said that I'm of two minds on this one. Which is actually okay -- we humans like to biol our feelings an thoughts down to "either/or", "TeamA/Team B,' but it's often not that simple in my estimation.
