The first video that I watched is the "Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." on Extremism. Obviously, this clip is about extremism. In the video, he talks about different kind of extremism, how sometimes extremism is no less righteous than moderation. Martin Luther King Jr. was clam to be an extremism, at first he wasn't happy about people calling him an extremism. However, after he think about the term extremism he realize that it's not about to be an extremism, like Jesus is an extremism, an extremism of love. But people think extremism is not good because extremism are different then them, and they will punish the extremism, and want to change the extremism not so extreme. I think he is trying to say that people can act however they want to act, don't let people change you because they are different then you.
The second video I watched is the "Why am I afraid of Christine O'Donnell". This video is about qualification, everyone are qualify at what they are good at doing. Just because you are not good at studying for example, it doesn't mean that you are not qualify for other stuff. Christine O'Donnell clams in her video that she is just like everyone of us. However, Jay Smooth points out an very interesting point. I will not vote myself if I am running for politician, if you want people to vote for you, you better be good at doing whatever politician are suppose to do. People are born to do different stuff, just like the movie Matrix Neo are born to save the world, that is why Morpheus spend all his life time searching for the one, because if you are not the one you are not qualify to save the world. However, you might be qualify for doing something else.
The third video that I watched is the " T-Pain and Know Nothing Know-it-All". This is a very interesting video, and it's about telling people that if you don't know something don't act like you have it all figure out. Because it will make you look stupid. This reminds me of some experience that I have, sometime when people ask me what I think of something I will act like I know what he is talking about, when I really don't. But this doesn't mean that I want act like I know what he is talking about, it's because I want to make him feel like I care about what he is telling me. Anyways, back the T-Pain video. First, T-pain was ask to say something about politic when he doesn't really know about politic, however, he wants to act like he is cool and all that so he said something that is completely different. Later on when he found out about his he didn't apologize for is lack of knowledge, instead he say that who cares about politician, the world won't change without them. He is very arrogant about is mistake, and he doesn't want to admit that he is wrong. Which made him look very stupid. We should not comment about the stuff that we don't know, because it might mislead other people. If you only know a little about the truth then you shouldn't talk about it, knowing little is very dangerous because you might twists the truth, and it is better to just admit that you don't know anything about the subject.
The last video that I watched on the Jay Smooth blog was the "How To Tell People They Sound Racist". In this video he teaches us what to focus on when you are talking about racism. He suggest that we should start our conversation with a races person by what they said and what they did, not what they are. He also gives an example to illastrate his point, if someone stole your wallet you are going to chase him down and get your wallet back and punish them, you are not going to chase them down and tell them they are a theif. Threat people that are races like the person that stole your wallet, if you focus on what they are, you are letting them off easy.
