A Response to an “Open Letter on Book Banning”. Have you heard people discussing book bans of late? Because recently a Utah author put out an “Open letter on book banning” that I wanted to highlight. The only two instances I can find when I searched for “Utah banned books” was from last year that listed 9 books pulled from a Utah school district’s libraries, and one from earlier this year that cited 52 restricted books in a different school district. This is why this letter makes me angry. To write a letter because you are concerned about “vitriol and hatred” aimed at certain books, and skip over the literal pornographic nature of said books makes me think that either 1) this letter was written and endorsed with the best of intentions using very limited or biased knowledge on the subject or 2) it was written and endorsed to try and distract from the blatant sexualization of children's books.

Bias can blindside you, especially if it’s your own. In this video I discuss bias in news sources and use Vox (and Carlos Maza) as an example of obvious bias blindness. I pull on a video from Viva Frei on the difference between opinion and bias, and then explore Allsides.com. Allsides breaks down news sources by bias, and I highlight popular news sources and where they fall on the bias chart. Just because someone is biased doesn’t mean they can’t be trusted, it just means you need to take things they say with a grain of salt. Or a heaping spoonful, in some cases.
On that note, here is a link to a previous video I did involving Vox: https://youtu.be/EX0SC_FVqAc

Death Penalty Deep Dive. Should we have the death penalty? It’s a question that many people have passionate opinions about, but funny enough, I don’t. So I decided to dig into the subject to see if I stand distinctly on one side or the other. Once you get passed that strictly moral layer though, I think there are some other arguments for or against the death penalty, questions about how much it costs, if it deters crime or not, and how prevalent it is, exonerations, and other such things. I take a look at data from the NAACP, the Death Penalty Information Project, and the Innocence Project. I also make references to Joe Rogan, Kamala Harris, Julius Jones, and Actual Justice Warrior. Ultimately, I still don’t have an answer on if I support or oppose the death penalty or capital punishment.

Civil Rights Hijackers include Al Sharpton and Joy Reid in this episode of Divisive Definitions. I take a look at race hustlers who have used recent events, specifically Kim Potter’s shooting of Daunte Wright, as evidence of ‘systemic racism’ or part of some larger racial narrative. This racializing of tragedies has happened recently with Micheal Brown, Breonna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, Jacob Blake, Kyle Rittenhouse, Daunte Wright, Ma'kia Bryant, and Gabby Petito to name a few. Now you might be saying – ‘this is easy to take shots at people’s statements now that the facts are all out.’ But I disagree – the easy thing is to be a race hustler and try to push an agenda off of a tragedy, the hard thing to do is to bite your tongue, wait for the facts to come out, and be reliable and reasonable.

NPR Drives Me Crazy. NPR isn’t unbiased, in fact NPR pretends to be neutral, but in some ways I would say NPR has radicalized me. Whether NPR is projecting modern gender theory onto an ancient warrior with a genetic disorder, talking about how cringe it is to not use the term LatinX, openly saying their own journalists can be activists as long as they think it won’t effect their own work, or adding a disclaimer to reading the declaration of independence, I wish NPR would act more like the impartial news outlet it purports to be, instead of the biased and tax-payer subsidized outlet it actually is.

A video discussing the question, is anti-racism actually racist? This is the fifth episode in my series on divisive definitions, and I try to answer questions like ‘what do anti-racists think’, ‘what do anti-racists believe’, ‘what do people mean when they say anti-racism’, and ‘should I be an anti-racist?’ So I do my best to try to define anti-racism, as well as talk about the complexities of the new definitions of racism, the difficulties of activitsts trying to redefine words, what people mean when they say ‘equity’, and how anti-racism is used to justify some crazy diversity trainings. So am I saying that people who push anti-racism are always racists in disguise? No. But I see some pretty racist things being done in the name of anti-racism, and I’m a big fan of judging people not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

The new and improved introduction video to the channel On the Other Hand. I draw inspiration from the channels of Counter Arguments, Nuance bro, Tim pool, and Viva Frei among others. I plan to often talk about political, religious, or other difficult topics or response videos with fairness and nuance. I plan to up upload at least every other week, or every week if time allows. I’m open to feedback and future content suggestions. Thanks, and enjoy!
