@sleepyguy saidLook who got a sense-of-humor-ectomy recently.
Way to dig in there Suzi Q. Did you give that a lot thought? Funny how the thread just continues on as if your attempt to end it means absolutely nothing.

@shavixmir saidI think you're missing the point. It's not the content that matters as much as the conversation.
But anyone’s reaction to Jordan Peterson, short of laughing hysterically at his pseudo-intellectual crap, is as pointless as JP himself.
Here's a reaction to Steve Harvey telling his story about meeting Donald Trump and all the trouble it caused him in the black community. This is a black man listening to a black man who is speaking to a room full of black people about Donald Trump. There's not a lot of love in that room for Trump. This isn't right wing propaganda. But it's funny as hell and I think it helps bridge the divide between black and white.
@sleepyguy saidThe black guy reacting to Sowell's video: I checked what else he posted and they're almost all reactions to videos promoting right-wing ideology. Videos such as "black man says Trump is not against black people" (with "black" in all caps) make it clear what his channel is about.
While that old white conservative can nod along with whatever message Candace Owens or Thomas Sowell delivers, they also see and hear the reaction from someone who doesn't readily agree
This guy, like all the other vloggers you posted, is selling a product of confirmation bias. There's no "freeing minds" going on.

@vivify saidWell yeah, that's what I've been saying. He's engaging with right wing ideas, which are new to him, and considering them with an open mind. It seems like more and more blacks are doing that. I think you're a little in denial about the cultural impact of the trend.

@sleepyguy said"New" to him?

He apparently has hundreds of videos, all doing the same exact thing. I can't even scroll to the bottom of his video list because more keep popping up.
These are not "new" ideas hundreds of videos later. Like I said, he's just selling confirmation bias.
@vivify saidYou can sort those from oldest to newest. If you do, you will find his channel started about 2 years ago, that his posts have been primarily about hip hop music, pop culture, comedy etc, and that there is a discernible progression toward including a wider variety of topics and musical genres. The first straight political stuff started only about 3 months ago, and he specifically addresses the transition right here:

If you can watch that and tell me he's not being genuine then we'll just have to disagree.
