Just Had My First Ever Post Hidden [View all]

Late last night, I posted a YouTube video in V&M called "Criminals Gone Wild UNCUT". Somebody alerted on it, saying that it was "out-right racist", and the jury voted 5-1 to hide it. I don't understand at all how that video was "racist", and my intent of posting it was not racial. All the video was about was showing a few crimes happening live and unscripted, and providing the perspectives of the people in the video on why they chose a life of crime. That's it.
At the risk of sounding biased about my own post, I have to say that the jury dropped the ball on this one.
