So after 35 minutes I got: * (backstory) some people were bickering * 200 characters isn't enough for a civil conversation * lack of communication is harmful * let's not be violent, let's not be bullies * let's be tolerant, listen, and communicate What's wrong?

The problem is it greatly downplays John's tweets which were angry, racist, and sexist. Then goes on to call for civility from those John attacked. Saying they shouldn't be angry and calling them uncivil, which is the very definition of tone policing.

(1/3) Chuck is, by profession, a journalist. It's how he pays the bills. In the video he starts off with "a lot of stuff has been deleted, this is hard to follow, I don't know the full story, I want to open a conversation". Journalism is about gathering information FIRST.

(2/3) It sounds like you're parroting what others have said. I watched the whole video last night. Not once did Chuck say how people should *feel*. He did offer some suggestions as to how to *act* - which apply equally well to all involved, and he definitely calls out John.

(3/3) John's a jerk. He has no trouble admitting to that. He doesn't delete his tweets to cover his tracks or to make people look bad. So... where is this racist or sexist material? Everyone's calling him a racist... but what did he say? No one will link to ANYTHING he said!!1

Now that ^^ seems pretty racist. That's not just "being a jerk", that's being a jerk on the BASIS OF SKIN COLOR AND GENDER. Dictionary definition!! Literally claiming a group to be INFERIOR on the basis of COLOR!!

Yes. Twice! The second time because I was specifically looking for anything that could in any way be misconstrued to support these claims. You're even struggling to take small two-word snippets of what he said out of context, I dare you to link me to a timecode that you can even

(cont) remotely manage to make seem like it's offensive in any way. You can't. In his most frustrated sentence he just sounded sad - never angry, never casting blame, never marginalizing either side Y'all seem more upset that he didn't join your mob and wanted facts and feelings
