They kept him banned after reviewing the video. Which is wild.

The screenshot is wild too btw. Hasan literally asks them if they're on crack, which, I don't think will help his case lmao.

Interviewer: Black Lives Matter or All Lives Matter?

Black Woman: Black Lives Matter.

White Dude: I guess All Lives Matter.

Hasan, pausing the video: Like, there you go, that's a great way of looking at the extremes on both sides.

One side is saying, black lives matter, and, you know, black lives are a part of all lives, so all lives clearly don't matter until black lives matter. And black lives currently don't matter.

The other side is saying all lives matter and black lives matter too, but you're just wrong for bringing that up.

The extreme in that situation is one side saying, correctly, that black people are disproportionately targeted by the criminal justice system and sometimes even killed as a consequence of that disproportionate targeting and systemic racism.

The other side is denying that reality. On the extreme side, on the other side, they are also taking matters into their own fucking hands.

So, how can you look at that situation and go, "Huh, both sides have some ideas here."

Interviewer, to the White Dude: Why's that?

White Dude: Cuz I feel like my life matters too. And I'm not black.

    You already know every single lib, American, and Westerner is going to use this example as proof that Tiktok is "a CCP propaganda tool" because "China hates black people and BLM"

      The replies are awesome.

      Half are from conservatives: Tater Tots talking about a Matrix W, fascists demanding he fight Sam Hyde, or just general brainrotted conservatives saying this is communism.

      The other half are his supporters. But among them there are libs who are saying exactly what you were saying: Tiktok are doing this because they are controlled by the CCP and the CCP hates black people.

      So...yeah. That's that.

      The whole idea that TikTok is a Chinese platform is just silly.

      It's an American site/app, ran and maintained by an American company, moderated by an American panel, staffed by the same American software ghouls and former NATO/intelligence officials as other social media sites, that's primarily subject to American legal jurisdiction.

      Yet chuds, and unfortunately some leftists, keep insisting it's meaningfully associated with China in order own each other.

      I'm sure they will but I also remember when a significant portion of this site was singing tiktok's praises because it is a Chinese company and defending it when it was algorithmically suppressing anyone queer or not conventionally attractive.

      Tiktok did this for the same reason as any western company, because they are capitalists who benefit from the maintenance of the status quo. Using any proprietary software is supporting capitalism. Can't have your treats and eat them too.

        I’m sure they will but I also remember when a significant portion of this site was singing tiktok’s praises because it is a Chinese company and defending it when it was algorithmically suppressing anyone queer or not conventionally attractive.

        I don't remember that.
