Wesly Michel v Christopher Cukor YouTube Waiting While Black Incident: To Chris From Zennie62
ONN – Wesly Michel v Christopher Cukor YouTube Waiting While Black Incident: To Chris From Zennie62
My initial reaction to the unfortunate San Francisco incident between Wesly Michel and YouTube Employee Christopher Cukor was to say that it was racist.
Then I stopped to read Chris’ Medium post. And while I think it should have been a YouTube video, I have a better understanding of his point of view.
Mine is that Chris should not have been so fast to try and call 911 on a black man. But then Wesly should have at least told you who his friend was. I get that. It basically became a “jerk on jerk” situation.
You should have listened to your Son. He made me cry. He has a good heart and can see when someone is doing good. Pay attention to him. He is not contaminated by institutional racism.
After this, he never will be.
I think YouTube can play a role is making society better here – less racist. I have some ideas that I have to develop based on what I saw.
Stay tuned.
Oakland News Now Note: this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest version of an experimental Zennie62Media mobile media video-blogging system network. This is a major part of our new approach to the production of news media. The uploaded video is from a vlogger with the Zennie62 on YouTube Partner Channel, then uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-owned social media pages. The overall objective is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and also seek interested content and media technology partners.
