I have a dream that some day every person will be judged by the content of their character, regardless of what the MTV says.

[@themoose4534]

This series should be called "How to be out-of-touch" or "How to attribute everything to racism". Biased "journalism".

[@tyk2be]

Yas!!! one year of learning about amazing stuff!! Congrats chesca!

[@tyk2be]

well, not amazing stuff per se. I mean your work is amazing and I've learnt so much about race, what I can do and how the world is now.

[@e.ludwig1721]

there's so much positivity in this dash! Feels so nice to be here! xx

[@nickbalis9181]

I tend to leave very critical comments on the Decoded videos, and I'm compelled to explain why: I think those videos do much more harm than good. If the goal of our society is to view race, sex, sexual orientation, etc. as trivial differences among us, Decoded's constant focus on these differences works against that goal.

[@longliverocknroll5]

Why would you want this in the open? I would be backing as far away from this god-awful content as possible.

[@beth98774]

I have so much respect for you because you have to deal with so many ignorant comments but you keep on making videos and being amazing. ❤️

[@JL-jy4zo]

This makes you look insane

[@NiskaMagnusson]

whilst i think that there are geniune concerns regarding racial lines in the USA. Franchesca you do very little other than fan the flames. I suppose this particular opinion will be blocked/deleted but eh i've lived in areas with very high racial tensions and half of this really isn't important to people just trying to get on with their lives, they don't accuse everyone and everything of racism.

[@varunvirlan]

haha, nice one. Really enjoy your work :)

[@ChuppyDuh]

Such a great reel! Can't wait for many videos to come :D

[@yikana7535]

There's a nice breeze during this sunny day. The scene is tranquil and a breeze carrying the scents of discussion and civility in the comment section....it seems that it's a little to peaceful in the comments hmmm.

[@chosenOnesForTrump]

i hope she realizes shes making fun of herself

[@talkthruthenight2299]

Thank you for this series. It raises such important issues, with humour and a lack of apology that is much needed. I don't always agree with you, and there have been some videos where some facts could have been checked a little more thoroughly. But I always look forward to watching it.

[@chescaleigh]

thanks for watching and always being part of the conversation! we're not perfect by any means, but we've learned a lot and are continuing to refine the process for producing a great show. thanks for sticking with us and holding us accountable when we fall short!

[@AltoPiano12]

wanted to throw another positive comment in the mix :) i absolutely adore this series and it's helped me understand so much. thank you thank you thank you for what you are doing

[@MyLoveIsBeauty104]

Thank you for teaching us, Chesca!

[@MelloneeKecia]

Congratulations on your 1 year

[@Most0riginalUsername]

Happy birthday!!! Keep up the good work because it's teaching people and also pissing bigots off

[@nickel7213]

[@LooxeY]

i was gonna write shit

[@nickel7213]

lol i love the fact the guys wont show their face want you too listening too them

[@Scoring57]

Amy Broome Cause they call out white racism?

[@CoryMck]

Emil Jansson Schools and neighborhoods in America are still racially segregated. The schools that black students go to are underfunded.

[@cecilia08yeah]

Love decoded :D

[@erhagman]

I love you so much omg

[@wilsonnguyen4646]

Please we need more videos from you

[@ououtreachvideomediaservic4572]

Hi Fans! We have an exclusive interview with Franchesca on our Current Conversations playlist, and we also have a compilation episode with Yazmin Monet Watkins to come soon! Stay tuned and subscribe! Here's the exclusive interview! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnfXc5Srp5uKqtk

[@srwsrw86]

I love it

[@eyenoiknow]

this looks awesome; I'm late to the party.

[@alexr891]

congratulations can't believe it's been a year

[@chescaleigh]

i know! it feels longer

[@mrmidnightmovie]

I wish you would answer the question I posed, @chescaleigh!

[@wordsmithington8270]

She'll just block you for having a different opinion you think she smells like an onion . I bet she dose

[@MrZonkyman]

This content is needed, especially in today’s climate. I hope you are doing well. Sorry for all the hate you endured. Stay black and stay strong. ✊🏾

[@hihihihere12]

yeah I have been wondering where all this hate has came from cause I used to watch her vids years ago

[@evaa6106]

Dear Franny, Please, go on Warski live. Let's clear up the hurt feelings and promote an open dialogue. Somewhere in the midst of all the "fuck white people" and the "quit milking slavery", there has got to be a way to meet in the middle. You have a platform- people listen to you. Please step up and show everyone that it's possible to grow together.

[@jajnacelija2580]

this is €ancerous

[@mrssarkazz]

nice

[@suad2968]

Yaaay

[@JackSassyPants]

*Checks comment section* *No racist slurs* *No arguing* *Good vibes in general* Me: "nice"

[@tyk2be]

yeah, this feels like a dream

[@JackSassyPants]

well it was fun while it lasted

[@happydays6777]

it's almost like a safe space aka: the place where you can't get criticized because "muh feelings"

[@CardboardCreative]

bleased

[@DollyandEmmy]

You are so pretty

[@silverbullet2008bb]

It looks like a horse on ecstasy

[@nomerrevah2358]

Smart move putting the words MTV Decoded in the title????????? It's like you wanted them to find you -_-

[@namlesszombie9503]

Just came here to dislike.

[@mrmidnightmovie]

Decoded just shows how soft and narrow minded America has become

[@mrmidnightmovie]

The US is narrow minded compared to what ?. Name a nation thats open minded and please while were at it name a nation of color that has the kind of tolerance and free thought you dream about

Yay! Love this series! I watch it on Facebook all the time. Congrats on one year!

[@rurede4eturnite]

I love your Decoded videos but I wish they weren't part of the overall MTV news channel! I unsubscribed a while back because the MTV news channel just spams my KZbin feed with videos I'm not interested in. BUT thank you for the link to the playlist of all your Decoded videos! Now I can watch without re-subbing to the MTV news channel. Your Decoded videos have seriously changed the way my friends and I talk about and understand race and how it plays into our culture, society, and life.

[@chescaleigh]

thanks that means a lot!

[@suusweet1]

I love decoded but fighting with those trolls is getting exhausting. I know you shouldn't feed the trolls but...HOW?

[@chescaleigh]

i just avoid the comments as much as possible

[@namlesszombie9503]

"Maybe if I ignore them they will go away"

[@AdrianAquarius]

I see a lot of white people on KZbin clowning her

[@MsRacoonTail]

decoded is everything, love love love it

[@AmbroseReed]

Decoded is so, so good. Up there with Kat Blaque's videos for most helpful things to quickly summarize important and complex issues.

[@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017]

Anyone with a half a brain despises this shit.

[@owand5017]

So you say just because of someone's skin colour they do certain things? That is actually really racist, I can't believe what people are saying. It would be the same if I said he loves rice because he's asian, she is racist because of her white skin or he likes rap music because he has black skin. Doesn't that sound insane to you who think this is the way of achieving equality? My nephews have acces to youtube they are afraid of feminists and the future because they think that this kind of shit is what they are later in there life going to be dealing with, and going to always be looked upon as evil people who are the cause of everything. That concerns me quite a lot.

[@Tsubak_Yojimbo]

I'm guessing Comedy Central decided to take a pass on giving her a show last year. The material is not funny and unmarketable to any reasonable person, not to mention all the blow black they would get for this toxic message on television.

[@lokitagaby17]

congrats on the one year! Can't wait for the future videos

[@ThePomeranianPrince]

cliche, but got here before the anti-sjw ppl come by

[@chescaleigh]

woop woop!

[@animock3051]

What wrong with not wanting to be an idiot?

[@korysworld8113]

make me a sandwich.

[@Scoring57]

Animock Not being racist is being an idiot?

[@RebelwheelsNYCShow]

thanks for existing

[@ejspeaks]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheNevilleFangirl]

This series has been so important, I'm continually honored to watch and be educated by you. My friends and I circulate your videos on facebook all the time. Continue rocking boats and starting conversations, Franchesca!! The internet (and the world) needs you!

[@si-bug5801]

Congrats! I'm just happy that the racists aren't here yet to ruin the fun. I'm so happy I found your channel! Keep up the great work!

[@AhsanteB]

SLAY! Love, love, love this series, so happy it exists.

[@crimsonjedi]

Ahsante the Artist This shit is trash

[@MissiveCauseIMissYou]

I feel like I need to go back and rewatch all of these. So many good moments. = )

[@mrmidnightmovie]

Do ever ask yourself why doesn't Franchesca ever debate anyone I mean if what she says is true it would stand up to the scrutiny of debate to put it plane I think the woman is a coward

[@bellcitah]

+mrmidnightmovie Because she has much more important things to do than waste her time with strangers that wouldn't listen to her anyway. :P

[@mrmidnightmovie]

That is very childish argument

[@bellcitah]

+mrmidnightmovie Well, it is the truth, though. Have you tried to see the amount of commentary that any of the Decoded videos has? Any sane person knows that it is illogical to spend energy and time on people that are mostly trolls or know-it-alls on the internet. She has a job and important things to do! ... besides, I think that thinking that she's a coward for not engaging on these discussions, as you said, is way more childish.

[@blooberchik1]

Because no one ever wants to debate her. You see people will send her emails to "debate her" but really they just bring her on to their platform where she is subject to blatant misogynoir and racism. It's not about debate, it's about people invalidating the things she says, being condescending, and being just flat out racist. None of these people are looking for an actual "debate" because I've seen enough of these people's "debates" to know it's just about having their fanbase gang up on people like Chesca. She's even said WHY she won't. It honestly just takes a quick google search.

[@DragonDancer]

congrats!! decoded is definitely my favorite thing on KZbin right now. to many more years!

[@savannah4439]

This is perfect omg 😂😂

[@somaguy]

[@Sirrahlala]

Congraaatttsss!!! ❤❤❤ 🎂🎉

Happy birthday, Decoded! Here's to many more!

[@reverandzombre3755]

[@Mikirono23]

I love this. She drops so much knowledge on these ignorant people.😋

[@eternalrayven3348]

Lol...No. SHE is the ignorant one. All the crap she spews is lies and propaganda .

[@eternalrayven3348]

Nope. I'm an adult thank you very much. I just don't buy into idiotic cultural marxism.

[@eternalrayven3348]

SOrry!

[@theswagman1263]
