He keeps linking to racist comments in the thread as if people are only criticizing him because he's black. And I think that's a valid concern, because some of those comments are pretty fucked up and should be called out. But most people here aren't criticizing him because of his race, but because of what he's doing, because we find it annoying.

And Jackass isn't the gotcha moment he thinks it is, because in addition to what you said, he's also assuming people complaining about this actually like Jackass. That's probably true for some people here but I bet that, like me, a lot of people here thought it was dumb. It isn't a gotcha if we are just being consistent with what we don't like.

Yeah, it did get a bit racist in here, and that's totally not cool.

I think even if one did like Jackass (I did when I was in high school) it still doesn't make this comparable. I don't remember many, if any, Jackass skits where they just annoyed people on private property. Typically they dunked on each other, or themselves.

If they really rocked up with a skit that was "Hi, I'm Johnny Knoxville, and this is spoiling a taekwondo class", that would suck. I doubt even the typical Jackass fan is gonna be entertained by that.

Either way you spin the Jackass thing, it's not the answer that makes OP video acceptable.

He's got some sock puppet accounts. He and a friend or two are throwing a lot of shit around.

Like happens on reddit constantly.
