Hi Guys

Ive just had a look around you tube at other "didgeridoo" and "aboriginal" postings and have been very saddned by some of the comments posted by young seemingly white Australians using frases like hobo, the N word, alcoholics time waster, Guan maybe you can comment on this as a regular poster of videos on you tube. Do you have a similar experience on your postings as I tend to listen rather than read.

I really thought we had gotten away from all the ignorance, nazi mentalaty on this planet but I am saddley blinkered in my outlook on peoples attitudes and feel I can do nothing about it but place comments back but I get wound up and sink to these well I use the term loosly peoples level.

the thing that got me most was a post from a 17 year old year old yep 17 about white power etc I was trying to get laid and get served in pubs when I was 17 not worried about where the next white supremacy class/teacher was coming from Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

Hi Stockie,
I understand your sadness. There could be a plenty of reasons why one chooses/happens to be so. Education, sociocultural environment, experiences in life so on and so forth. But one thing I do is not to want everybody to think the same or to be the same. I think, whatever the reason, there are variations in life. Something intrinsic which came about during our evalotuions maybe, who knows. Who knows what makes somebody want to be good or bad or this or that,
sorry for my blunt interpretation but you can still see the other half of the glass, which is full

cheers

Don't take it to heart. A lot of that stuff is trolling and people are just doing it to get a rise. People don't mean it, they are just dickheads.

Hi Stockie

I feel the same but now don't tend to even bother reading any comments!!! I just watch and listen to the clips, try to take in whatever I can from them, admire the skill and sometimes use them to learn from. Ignore the bad comments, sticks and stones ring true here.

all the best

Paul

Hi guys,

Welcome to the world as it really is! YouTube is no different to any other area of cyberspace in that it reflects the diversity of people, opinions and everything else on this planet. Mind you, some people post racist, rude and otherwise totally unacceptable comments on YouTube merely to elicit a response... I guess they like the attention they would not get otherwise. What can we do about it? Not much really, just ignore them I say.

Guan

Hey stockie. I have the same reaction as you. As much as you probably understand that there are people who hate that much, it's more surprising that they have no reservations being so blatant about their hatred, and that makes them seem that much more real. Guan's attitude is the best, pay them no mind and they have a much smaller voice. Or tell them they suck if it makes you feel better!
