Interesting. Why is he so obsessed with Shades?
He thinks I'm Jewish, so he's doing everything in his power to target me for harassment.
So for those of us who didn't see it is there a brief recap of what happened?
At about 10:09 p.m. he came back from a break wearing full blackface. He then said things like, "Tell me why this is offensive" and "This is not an inherently racist act." I think his point is that a thing is only offensive if we give it the power to be such.

A caller, uh, called in and urged him to drop the idea because it was seriously crossing a line (or words to that effect). Brett argued with him at length, with the frustration building in Brett's voice until finally, in response to a reminder about how blackface looks from a black person's perspective, he loudly stated, "Let me give you the white perspective!" The caller gave up soon afterward, then after a few more words from Brett he was cut-off in mid-sentence as the feed was abruptly cut at about 10:20 p.m. The entire channel itself was utterly obliterated and wiped clean from Twitch at about 10:31 p.m.

Is it possible this whole thing was a misunderstanding? Could Brett have actually been wearing a volcanic facial peel?

I like the theory. Perhaps he really meant that he wanted to give the white "peel" perspective when he loudly said "Let me give you the white perspective!"

Do you think Smokey's blue-faced avatar was a contributing factor to this strange behavior?

I almost care.

Yet the takeaway from this is that twitch will shut down racist crap within minutes, yet Shades will tolerate it for who knows how long.

Is this your way of asking me for more strict moderation?

I am confused, what is the connection with smokey? Was there gross racist conversation ongoing of the sort which smells like Smokey talk? Was rabid racism tolerated untll
somebody painted their face black?

Was this defending past church policy? Was it defending the idea bad people look funny?
Was it complaining that white people suffered eight years of a racist president who didn't give white rights sufficient respect?

It looks like Mormon Talk is back on Twitch. Could there be a show tonight?
