Congrats, you've survived another week! Your reward? You get to watch this weekend's video before everyone else! Before we get to that though, I've answered the first round of questions on this month's Q&A post, so if you want to go check those out and add any yourself, you can click this link to take you there. Anyway, this week's video really feels like something I would have done in 2014 or so, making fun of people who are going way too far to try not to offend people, and thinking that something is offensive when it's not.

This week in "we're bored of the things to be actually outraged about so we're coming up with new problems", Twitter brings up the issue of "posting GIFs of black people when you're not a black person". Buckley looks at a few different sources of people discussing "digital blackface" from the last few years, and tries to figure out if there's something to this, or if we should all be posting a nice big Steve Harvey rolling his eyes gif about the situation.
