Why did these videos get made? Was it an honest attempt at social justice? A grift? Clickbait? Why were they so disliked? As Marxists I think we can get to the bottom of this.

White people are snowflakes?

Actually, after rewatching the video, I have a much simpler answer: Nobody likes being condescended to.
I'm sure there are some awful comments on this video, but I refuse to scroll down and read them
Wow cool "white guys" means CHUDs I guess, thanks folx
I mean yeah, that is part of it. I certainly disliked it when I first saw it. I think the reason why I found it so distasteful was because of the way it was edited. There is zero time to think about what the people in the video are actually saying, it's a bunch of quick cuts and an assault on the senses. Basically I find myself agreeing with most of the points in isolation, but when they all get thrown at you at once you can't comprehend it.

The real issue is it's dishonest - it's not earnestly targeted at anybody and is just a clickbait+outrage+debate magnet.
Anyone who would be even remotely receptive to the core substance of the content isn't going around BLUE LIVES'ing at people and saying they have black friends so they can say the N word. Any active racist is going to instantly just get pissed off and marginally further radicalized by the style.
Wow, let's cure this pool supply tyrant of his seething racism by having a gay 17 year old yell at him. Then let's get a white liberal guy to seriously self-assess by telling him to stop... ruling rape cases in favor of rapists? So it's somehow casting false blame AND letting people off the hook, simultaneously.
Who the fuck is "bragging about being woke" holding an All Lives Matter sign? It's incomprehensible.
