Check him out. He'll do yours for a small fee.
I made this video as a response to someone who wanted to know where the black people were on YouTube.
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for digital freedom in the history of the Internet.
2 years ago, two great computer nerds, in whose symbolic creation we sit before today, started the the YouTube cooperation. This momentous website came as a great beacon of hope to millions of Internet Nerds who had been seared in the flames of withering bad television. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long nights of boredom in front of their computer screens.
But two year later, the Negro still is not on the front page. Two year later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of booty shaking videos and the chains of discrimination.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from slow Internet connections. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for cheaper internet connection left you battered by the storms of greedy telecommunications companies and staggered by the winds of over charging telephone companies.
And so even though we face the difficulties of 500 hundred sever error today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the YouTube dream.
I have a YouTube dream that one day this Site will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "that we'll be able to post videos on YouTube."
I have a YouTube dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of computer programmers and sons of former computer cleaners will be able to sit down at the computer workstation of brotherhood.
I have a YouTube dream that my fifty odd videos will one day live in a YouTube where they will not be judged by the colour of their content maker but the content of their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a YouTube dream that one day, down on some PC, with their vicious racists having their fingers dripping with the "N word" -- one day right there on this machine little black boys and black girls will be able to do video collaborations with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a YouTube dream today!
I have a YouTube dream that one day every video shall be exalted, and every hateful comment shall be made low. This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to my machine.
With this YouTube, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of haters a stone of hope. With this YouTube, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our YouTube into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this YouTube, we will be able to collaborate together, to comment together, to subscribe together, to stand up for digital freedom together.
And if YouTube is to be a great YouTube, this must become true.
And so let digital freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of South Africa.
Let digital freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let digital freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let digital freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of China.
From every keyboard, let freedom ring.
And when this happens, when we allow digital freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every computer and every video, from every comment and everyone, we will be able to speed up that day when all of YouTube's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, Budhists and & Muslims, Scientologists and Tom Cruise, Jedis & Atheists, Cults and Jehova's witnesses, Fat people and skinny people, Chinnes and Japanese, Macs & PC, iPods and Zunes, Renetto and Greg Solomon
Digital Freedom at last! Digital Freedom at last!
Thank God, we have digital Freedom at last! |
