The videos dress medieval lies and stereotypes in modern technological garb and repeat them as though they were doing an infomercial. Were You Tube to treat African Americans in a similar way, it would find itself up to its belt in mass denunciations, law suits, and boycotts. Why do Jews still react to being urinated upon by remarking that it's raining? The offensive videos must be removed.
