    @Reboot422 @tariqnasheed @YouTube Someone's going to ignore this kind of crap and then turn around and say black people don't "work hard enough"

  • zengrey Ashcan (@zengrey) reported

    @tariqnasheed @YouTube African-American is an ETHNICITY, just like Jamaican-American, Nigerian-American, Kenyan-American, etc. Are you a descendant of African slaves dragged to the USA? Then by default, you are AA. FBA has merit, but it also has some problems.

  • adpcc1980 A Different Perspective (@adpcc1980) reported

    @clayfrith @edward_tanguay @YouTube You might be Right about seals being right sided. I just see Jacko as philosophical dude at times. Plus he does like outside of the box approaches to many issues. IMO, that’s not a linear trait.

  • ChuteDeBeloki Galder. (@ChuteDeBeloki) reported

    @ButterflyPhoen2 @ShadowTodd @YouTube Her new single is not bad (quality wise) and still barely enterd the Hot 100

  • Dmenace1one Dennis the donkey (@Dmenace1one) reported

    @DanDanielsonPA @AllenKessler @YouTube And that’s FINE! Get kicked-out and lose out on a payday, to each their own. The point was STAY calm-cool-collected, address the issues more adamantly AFTER the game. PLUS there was no evidence at that point of “skimming” POSSIBLY add ons were being raked? That’s what vid said

  • RILESSER Rob (@RILESSER) reported

    @glennkirschner2 @YouTube And if a Martian lands in times Square what problems might we have in crowd control? From what we have seen to date, the likelihood of the former is not too different from the latter.

    @jordanbpeterson @YouTube @rustyrockets Dr. Peterson please help us

  • AidenA62256310 just aiden (@AidenA62256310) reported

    @tottisharp @YouTube Will it help me get better at getting 4 rebounds with a sg

  • dcharraux David Unacceptable Charraux (@dcharraux) reported

    @jordanbpeterson @YouTube @rustyrockets Back to 30 years, +/-, ago I was working for an ISP in France. Back then, US already had ways to look at Internet connections (for the curious Ascent TNT boxes). Nothing new under the IT sun... For the US, Huawey issue isnt about spying but about them behind hindered to do it...

  • AwardVPN Award VPN Beta (@AwardVPN) reported

    @drrllchristie2 @cwtek @YouTube Yep hoping to get the Firestick version any day now, then will need testers for new servers etc also

  • aeonflux67 supersonicx (@aeonflux67) reported

    @ShadowTodd @YouTube why do you hate the military Todd? what did they ever do to you? That part of the video was totally uncalled for, I fail to see the problem with Perry doing a video for them. Don't tell me you're one of those people that thinks all veterans are evil.

  • ProduceLikeAPro Produce Like A Pro (@ProduceLikeAPro) reported

    @NomDeWhom @YouTube Yes, terrible news

  • KVTProductions KVT Productions (@KVTProductions) reported

    @TeamYouTube Any new updates? We have never had an issue with @YouTube and even had the channel reinstated last week (due to error) only to be take down again a few days later. We really hope and pray you will lift the termination so we can continue to provide our videos.

    @Dark_Prince_98 @Golden_Reviewer @YouTube I think u want to stop stupidity.... He always test equally n what he said is the result... It's ur problem ,u cannot accept the truth...

  • Dmenace1one Dennis the donkey (@Dmenace1one) reported

    @DanDanielsonPA @AllenKessler @YouTube And BTW, I have no interest in either side, BUT I’ve played PLENTY and NO-ONE likes a LOUD, OBNOXIOUS player making issues of how the house “runs things” during a game (especially at FT) just saying 🍻

  • eljulico Jay (@eljulico) reported

  • lezdothiz21 ABeautifulMess🖤 (@lezdothiz21) reported

    @Twin28Mom @YouTube 💔 I just don't get it. So many people would have wanted to adopt this sweet baby, and could have let him live a life. This just awful! It's hard to stomach!

  • kewpified JustSay1n (@kewpified) reported

    @Momtobe2021 @LouLouLa10 @YouTube And when you fall ill and need help or support are you going to say, "Oh it's just Karma?" What goes around comes around and it will hit you like a train.
