YouTuber iyannaw08, who filmed the AC Transit Bus Fight video, makes a new video blog to time to clear up some misconceptions in the wake of the video's viral status.
First, she says that she did not take the bag that belonged to the Old White Man. iyannaw08 says that she took the bag to the front of the bus and left it for the authorities when they arrived.
Second, she says was not dating or related to the black man in the video "I've never seen these two gentlemen in my life."
She ends the video by apologizing to anyone who was offended. But what's offensive are some of the comments left on her video page. They call her terrible names and racial slurs, and present the very racist, crazy people I complained about. YouTube should step up efforts to have settings that erase those words all together if the channel manager so desires.
It reenforces a statement I've made that if you want to see just how sick, just how screwed up some people really are, take up the occupation of online community management.
Something else, many, including myself, called the black man in the video "young" - he's 50-years-old.
Stay tuned.
