Youtube is a lawyers dream, it is a place where there are tons of copyrighted materials being shared in a forum that does not properly credit those who own the copyright. You have minors “dropping it like it’s hot” wearing nothing more than boy shorts and bikini tops possibly leading to child preadtors lurking on such a site looking to prey on young teenagers.  These videos have hundreds of thousands of views and most are never taken down.

However at least three times in the last week a particular video has been taken down. Originally titled “How Far We’ve Come”, this video represents the struggles of People of Color here in America and how far WE have come. The back drop is a Sam Cooke song, a change is Gonna come, the words to the song coupled with the images of oppression, degradation and triumph are quite moving. The main theme is to remind people where they have come from and to inspire them to help be the change they wish to see. So why is it that this video is constantly pulled down, I thank the people who keep putting it back up because this video is here for a reason and the images and themes need to be digested. Youtube is a fraud, I hope you enjoy!
