This was posted on FB today, don't get jaded by the first few minutes, it's totally not what you'd expect. Give it a chance, he's very well-spoken. Please, no jabs, and listen to what he's saying. Maybe this can be just an informative thread.

A call for white folks to take responsibility racially.

    Perhaps this video is misplaced and belongs in the police abuse threads...

    All credibility of this guy was lost at 4:49 of the video as soon as god was brought into his ramblings.

    While watching this, I was thinking about this great essay Edward Abbey wrote called "In Defense of the Redneck".

    Uncle Ed would have liked this guy. I like this guy. Good show, redneck dude.

    Hey Brian, I have no idea if Chadwick's avatar is really a pic of him (yet really has nothing to do with looks or the fact he's a redneck, that's besides the point) but knowing him from his posts, this guy sort of reminds me of him. In very much a good way.

    He doesn't come around here anymore. I wonder why. :frowning:

    Chadwick had major knee surgery which he posted about on AET. I think he's having a rough go of getting back on his feet, dealing with pain, etc. He's a bit of a red neck I suppose and yes, one heck of a good guy!

    Is the onus to change entirely on white people or do other races have to change as well?

    I never meant to imply you were Chad. Just that you can see past the exterior in some of your posts, kinda like this guy. And, is (was) that an actual pic of you in your old avatar?

    yes my old avatar is me. for shits & giggles i went & found it. i want my next upcoming avatar to be a picture that was taken of my knees after surgery. 34 staples each knee. good shit

    & i agree a redneck & a country boy are not at all the same

    i also have a image taken (you know the test (i forget the name) women have of their stomachs/babies when pregnant) of my testicles. maybe could avatar that as well

    Again, did you watch the video? Because in the video it is clear who the onus is on.

    I miss putting those staples in, that was up there with my favorite OR duties.
    Hope you are healing well!

    I am asking what you think not what the author of the video thinks.

    But there is no discussion about the video, let's discuss that first and then I'll put my two cents in. What do you take away from the video? Did anyone watch the video?? (besides pjfan)
