This week's newsletter: While Shane Dawson may finally be paying the price for doing blackface, fellow YouTuber Sanders Kennedy pointed out that he's already greatly profited off of doing blackface.
Sanders enjoys covering the “petty stuff” — it’s what he’s built his career on. However, he said he has become disheartened by how much attention YouTuber in-fighting will get in comparison to the more serious accusations.
“That’s the part that hits me the hardest. I feel like YouTubers made their money off Black people,” said Sanders. “Influencers made money off of blackface.” “Being that [Shane] has a majority of white viewers and that he was called out for blackface, it’s not going to damage him. They’re not offended. He has more likes than dislikes on his apology video and that says a lot,” he said. “He will be perfectly fine in his Calabasas mansion — he just won’t be popular [but] his fans will stick by him. Just like Paula Deen, she’s still making millions. She’s still thriving.”“Her audience is 90% white. They’re not offended.
“There’s still protests happening, and, yes, we do need to focus on important things. Just cause Black Lives Matter doesn’t take up your timeline anymore doesn’t mean it’s not going on,” he said. “We need to find that balance of keeping the important things in our hearts, like remembering to vote and reminding people daily that Black lives do matter.”
