The You Tube video was taken down by the user, but the video has been on You Tube!
After Scoop This posted the original video, it received over 3,000 views in one day. The video was removed earlier today. Are the people behind this video embarrassed? Or could a possible crime have been committed by the people that posted this video originally?
Trust me, the editors at Scoop This are checking into this video.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE 1: The following is posted on You Tube. Thanks to Scoop This reader and Chimpsy Radio host, Mr. L, for taking the initiative.
There’s an update regarding the video with the African American teens shown on YouTube in the video below. This morning, I received a message from a friend named Dan who gave me the address of the school where this video was filmed. This is the name:
URBAN COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
1524 PASEO BLVD
18th & Vine District, Kansas City, MO
Educational Organization
I called and spoke to Bernard, who said he was the assistant Dean. He was very gentlemanly and when I voiced my concerns about the video, he told me that this was taken at the school last year when Obama was beginning his campaign. He assured me that they stopped this “regiment” because they felt the person who was organizing it was pushing his political agenda.
Duh.
He assured me that he didn’t know it was on YouTube. I gave him the link to where to go for this video and when he found it he said, “Oh this is not good. I had no idea” I told him I’d take his word for it. He then asked me, nicely, “what’s the main concern? Because I want to understand where you’re coming from so that I can figure out how to handle this.”
Nicely, I told him that the video looked militant. I told him about the Colburn School video and how it resembles propaganda films from Communist dictatorships. I told him that the US military is frowned upon for going to high schools trying to recruit potential grads into joining their ranks. Why shouldn’t we frown upon those who come to a school like yours to encourage kids to worship a politician? One who is not even a president.
I also said that if this was done to make kids feel better about themselves, why do it in the name of Obama? Why not encourage kids to believe in the power of themselves?
He assured me that he would get to the bottom of the situation, thanked me for my call and we hung up.
That’s all for now.
Hopefully, Dean Bernard does get down to the bottom of this.
Scoop This will post further updates when we get them.
