Kiesza - Hideaway

Yogi says...

There's gotta be a couple of nice edits in there but that was a really well done music video. The best part about doing it on a street is the depth you can get. You can see all the way down the block in the long shot and it's really friggin cool. People walking in the background that hopefully weren't a part of the video, I loved it, it was done soo well that I don't know whether they shot it 3 times on an open set, or 40 times on a completely controlled closed set.

Oh and the fact that you can see the Empire State Building WAY WAY back there, can anyone tell specifically what neighborhood this was shot in? Any New Yorkers cause otherwise I'm going to google maps and obsessing for a few hours.

UGH I'm done, it shows the street signs in the beginning, should've looked for that first.

Found it! Starts at that corner and goes up the wrong way on 12th. Ending on the corner of 12th and Wythe. You can even see the same stickers on the poles.

You're telling me, it's goddamn $380 to go there, another $40 if you have an interesting or weird car. Very irritating.

norman finkelstein-US jews know too much now

Yogi says...

They earn a lot though. Also those dumb as shit comedies still make a fuck ton of money for them a lot of the time.

I'm thinking that Norman knows more than us about Jews in America.

billpayer said:

Wishful thinking... sounds like the this guy is making a lot of assumptions.

"...earn more than others"? No. It's Indian Americans by far.

"... are cerebral"?
Perhaps he's not aware of the dumb as shit Hollywood comedies that come out every fucking week.

"...are doctors, lawyers etc etc."
So what. There are many Asians in the same roles. Doesn't make them liberal.

Watch any Max Blumenthal video as evidence of what is going on with their current youth. It's anything but liberal.

If not for your response I would've thought you had me on ignore. You still sort of do in a way, you didn't address anything I've said in any of my posts.

I would call you a 'fuckface' if it made absolutely any difference, but then you'd just not read anything else I wrote.

Please respond to any of my numerous posts or this isn't a conversation, it's a monologue you're having in your own head.

I got to give you credit for not calling me a 'fuckface'.

but you know what they say...when you 'assume' you make an ass out of u and me.

My brother is quite well read, everything from medieval war tactics to the rules of cricket.

He used to live in a predominately black area of town. When they parked their cars below his window with music thumping to rattle the spleen, he would scream at them to knock it off...they responded to that! You have to talk to people in a way they can understand.

Like the lady at Fox said...a terrorist doesn't understand anything but a bullet to the head.

I'm assuming your brother has never read anything from any other black authors on the subject of black society in America. Just the one who already agrees with his viewpoint.

I honestly don't know what to say. You have been inundated with information yet you do not look at that, only what you can attack or what you think causes a video or argument to fall apart because one thread is out. Granted you can play the victim, many people on here do exactly it is you are doing and with just a little thought to what they say.

However as I've said before it's a personal decision that must be made. You need to personally look at what you will investigate and spend your time on. If you do, you can present a factual argument that is informed and not dismissive. If not than there isn't a reason not to ignore you. You're just another voice in the cauldron, indistinguishable from those that are opposite but just as flippant.

I don't believe that cops can't make mistakes or that some cops don't intentionally do bad things. However, in this case, the cops actions appeared to be justified.

The rioter's actions appear to not be justified. It is not that complicated.

My brother said something very interesting last night. He said he got it from Thomas Sowell. He said, if the white people in this country ever stop caring anything about black people, there's going to be a huge wake-up call. They'll be on their own. Probably would be a good thing, then they can learn to rely on themselves.

I didn't know the investigation and the trial was already over. Guess that's it then.

You do realize that even if this situation was properly officiated by the police, that that is still a problem with people? I also hope you realize that, again if this situation is proper that still Black people aren't treated properly in America.

I understand that there are always these controversial situations which everyone jumps on. They try to pick teams and make sure they win as best as they can, but this isn't about winners and losers. This is a society, and it has rungs, those at the bottom tend to be disproportionately Black and they get abused by those higher up. That is hardly debatable, and we have to decide if it is tolerable.

Unsurprisingly those at the bottom rung have decided it is not tolerable, which happens occasionally in history. It's a constant struggle and many gains about been made. I want to be on the side of history that espouses equality, that is ahead of the curve. I find it noble to drag humanity, kicking and screaming sometimes into a future of further enlightenment.

I'm not going to name people as racists or not-racists. It seems to me though a choice must be made by the individual. If this isn't tolerable to you than you can stand up. If it does not concern you then you need not inject your voice. It's not an attack on you, your world or your advantages. It's a struggle for those who see a problem, they will keep going. Those who stand with the status quo will not be remembered as noble people, they become the false prophets of history.

Yogi says...

Yeah pretty much. We're doing exactly what Jon Stewart does really, only Jon doesn't have to breathe life into Hannity or Fox for them to have watchers. We our the readers of the comments that hold obvious falsehoods and biases within them. We can choose to ignore them and their readership goes away, period.

Stormsinger said:

Personally, I'm done putting up with the trolls...all two of them now. I see not the slightest reason to listen to either one anymore, as I've never once seen them add anything of value to a conversation. Insults, logical fallacies, and racial slurs...but nothing of value.

I'll be treating them just like I do Fox News, and Sarah Palin. Let them starve for attention.

Yogi says...

Will you admit that he at least made a very good point about Al Sharpton and black leaders holding a meeting in Chicago about black on black crime. How that might be important and completely counter to watch Fox is reporting on. I think it makes a very good point that there are serious issues that are trying to be addressed and Fox won't even do a cursory search online to see what is being done. They just spout whatever they want.

so many cheap shots taken in this segment, Stewart needs to re-arm

'unarmed man shot by cop' does not tell the full story at all

also, as for cops responding to protests, Stewart left out all of the rioting, looting and burning of private businesses

typical funny propaganda, Joe Goebbels would be proud

The police officers could be heard yelling stop resisting ;)
