Thanks a lot! I'll check it out.

Using the term "blackface" suggests malicious intent and racism, as this is how it was viewed in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Performers would dress in blackface to promote racist ideas and stereotypes. It has a very negative connotation and is no longer in common usage because of the historical significance. Today, this is most often done as a form of satire or social commentary, not to make fun of or dehumanize black people. Even though it is no longer a popular form of entertainment, it is still done in some areas outside of the United States, but not in an angry or harmful way.

Hey Daniel,Congrats on the new puppy! My beloved dog, Caesar, died in December at the age of 14, and I have not been able to bring myself to get a new dog yet. Maybe someday....As for all the PC crap that's been flying around, it's great that you have kept a sense of humour about the whole thing. The best disclaimers I have ever read - all "PC alerts" should be that useful!! Thanks for the laughs! You are the man!!

I was a little surprised at first, but it turned out to be really funny! People should learn to relax a little. It's obvious that there's no malicious intent behind the post, just Daniel having some fun. I think calling it "blackface" is a bit extreme. The accent was spot on!! Looking forward to the next video!!

I really don't think it would hurt us all to be a little more Earth-conscious. With technology comes advancement, but also destruction. Our children will pay the price for our way of living. It is not a coincidence that this can be dated back thirty years. At least Al Gore is trying to get the word out that we, as individuals, can make a difference by just making small, seemingly insignificant changes in our behavior. Unfortunately, most of us look for the easiest route, not the most beneficial one.I'm with ya, Daniel! Thanks for the insight. Good on ya!
