4. Wonder how long those accounts have been around spewing that crap?

From the OP article, there certainly were many of accounts like that -

“We have strict policies prohibiting hate speech on YouTube, and terminate any channel that repeatedly or egregiously violates those policies,” a YouTube spokesperson said in a statement. “After updating our guidelines to better address supremacist content, we saw a 5x spike in video removals and have terminated over 25,000 channels for violating our hate speech policies.”

(those 25,000 were probably the obvious low-hanging fruit ones)

And if protestors hadn't been out in the streets (now having gone on daily for just over a month straight, with the majority of them peopled prominently with enlightened whites), would they have done the same sort of racist channel removal?
