At least on a bi-annual basis, a (white) influencer’s old Tweets or, in this case, an old image resurfaces online that showcases some past bigoted behaviors. When this occurs, commentary/ video essay channels push out videos discussing the event , condemning it (depending on what side on KZbin you’re on) and critiquing the apology. Notably, most of the commentary geared at condemnation is led by other white influencers-and while this is not inherently an issue for me, I believe there are so many things that go unsaid. When we’re talking about these sorts of bigoted acts-things that have been normalized in our cultures-there is much more to contend with than just that one influencer themselves.
Long-time friend of Kurtis Conner, Dean Hebscher has recently come under fire (again) due to a 2014 photo featuring himself in a wildly inappropriate and derogatory costume being unearthed. Many fans of Kurtis began to question his integrity for keeping a friend who seems to have some problematic tendencies. In response to this, commentator Kuncan Dastner (Duncan) created a video analyzing the connection between friends, personal responsibility and integrity.
In this video, we will utilize Duncan’s video as a way to explore some of my issues with how situations like this are often addressed. Join the conversation, and enjoy!
