Bruh, when I heard about this "study" I assumed this was from an old ass misguided, well-meaning yet harmful study from idk, 1970? I am shocked that this whole ass Canadian man thought that doing blackface was the way to go in fucking 2024

Had no idea there was so much spice in the Book space. 🍿

Also CINDY IS GIVING US JOAN JETT ENERGY AND I ❤LOVE IT

Please don't give this man any energy or attention.... I'm so over people using black people to rage bait into "infamy"

omg i came back to this channel after month and the first thing I see is Cindy's new ROCKING hairstyle, it looks soo good on you!!! 😭

As soon as I saw this shit go down on Twitter I was eagerly awaiting this video.

A book about the history of journalist blackface and analysis about the motivation/ethics/impact would be interesting. This guy’s work is worthless and completely amoral

I watched your video because I always love how your commentary. As a BIPOC female, I always appreciate the thoughtfulness and research you put into your videos like this.

Isn’t this more evidence of people not respecting black voices and experiences??? Like why do YOU need to experience it for you to believe it happens?

an afro wig form a costume store and a maybelline foundation .... I'm 10000% sure this dude didn’t fool anyone. He just looked like what he is, a creep doing blackface 🤮

my eyebrows have been raised incredulously for so long that i gave myself a headache. this whole thing is so fucking bonkers!!! weirdo behavior. and your discussion is so thoughtful (and funny while dunking on him) and i am grateful to you for talking about this, because there is a much deeper conversation beyond putting this loser on blast, but he also deserves to be on blast.

i just want to say that i LOVED your comment about how ppl should be asking themselves why they need to experience it for THEMSELVES and be affected THEMSELVES to empathize with people's pain and experience- rather than just listen and actually believe the people affected. Its always irked me as u mentioned; when men only start caring about women when they have daughters who are sexually assaulted, or they try on period cramp simulators to see if its ACTUALLY painful and have a "new perspective". When white people have to be personally involved in a situation discriminating against poc to then talk about how bad their experience was, and still in the end taking away the experience and voice of the marginalized group affected. Like, why don't you just believe people when they say, yeah, it really sucks? How come time and time again these people end up being the focus, instead of the people we should be listening to? Why is there such a lack of care unless its about themselves and how it has affected THEM? Eloquent and well spoken as always cindy <3 I loved hearing u clown on this idiot of a man

Canadian, of course, I mean even our beloved Prime Minister has been known to dabble in black face so I suppose this is on brand

the clownery white people get up to. and this is just the ones we know about.

It's obvious he just wanted to do blackface cause why not. He didn't have to make a stupid book about it. Edit: oh hey you said the same thing lmao!

Omg Cindy!!! We got the same haircut. Also not another white man profiting off POC struggles 😭

I’m sorry most of your audience are sweaty nerds who hate on basic reaction videos.

Black Like Me used to be our only required reading for our civil rights unit in highschool US history, our student leadership was able to successfully petition the history department to change this and include more texts from black authors describing their own experiences

The thing is though, white people really do think racism is just surface level and not entrenched in societal infrastructure. 😐

I wish I could do like 1000 likes.... because it was THAT GOOD

CINDY UR LOOK!!!! OH MY GOD U LOOK SO GOOD

Even though I personally don’t care for amber heard after that whole trial, I cannot imagine spending weeks of your life drafting, writing and then PUBLISHING a book about your torture fantasy of a real person. It’s genuinely like a 100 steps too far.

Interesting news. You should look for author Stacy James Meadows. Anyway great video that was very informative and great insights. ❤

Who would pick up a hitchhiker in today's day and age, let alone a presumably unhinged looking man in terrible blackface??

What the hell this reminds me so much of Yellowface all the plot beats are there (even if that novel deserves critique I am beginning to appreciate how incisive it was in some respects!)

I'm just imagining him being VERY clearly a white man in black face standing on the side of the road. 🧍

The caucasity is at an all time high, the brain cells are at an all time low

I imagine his potential rides saW him and said "it's absolutely maybelline, he was not born with it"

Cindy, thank you for your services

If y'all want to see more caucasity, the show "black.white." is basically what this guy did but on a shitty 2000s tv show. tbh its probably worse than this. watch at your own risk.

Dudley Field Malone said, "I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agrees with me".

so stupid 😭

Lmao its very difficult to take any writer from the National Post seriously. The dude goes by samuel forster.

Wow this guy's arrogance and lack of self awareness is staggering.

I blame Justin Trudeau. Had he been properly penalized for his blackface shenanigans, this "author" wouldn't have thought it was such a good idea to do what he did.

Fuck autistic people who blame their autism like Cait Corrain - most fellow autistics I've met have a very strong, black and white sense of fairness that would never allow them to be so duplicitous

That guy comes across as just a pathetic troll ngl

i quote tweeted this dudes "apology" (defense) and he blocked me😭😭bro refuses to be held accountable

0:43 a very like 90s social experiment. I thought we realized we can talk to people and believe their experiences?

this has to be a stunt

love these videos while im working on my art, very informative. also love the hair

Less than 6 minutes in and I can already tell this butthead wrote the book just so people could see how "smart" he was.

completely unrelated but your hair looks so good !!! such a fun look for you

So he searched up blackface, was met with evidence that blackface is racist, and then still saw himself as the exception???

When you said rat tail, I was imagining like a small braid of hair on his head and was like damn, that sounds cute. But then I realized it was a real rat tail. EW AGREED.

The funny thing is, he could have done this experiment by employing a black person (even a small author, so he could have someone with good writing skills but not famous enough to be recognized and compromise the purpose of the research)and report both their experience and compare them-

This guy is a bellend, when he wrote about why he didn't just talk to black people I could hear the smug look on his face.

Hitchhike?! What sane person black or white would hitchhike or pick up a hitchhiker? And this guy sounds like he must have looked at total freak show.

"We made something SOMEWHAT edible." 😂🥲👀

bruh is this author secretly bruno from black. white. bc wtf 💀
