YouTuber Lamarr Wilson is someone my kids and I have enjoyed. He’s funny and interesting, and gets very excited about geeky things like electronics and Oreo cookies. In my experience, nerdy folks are usually fair accepting of others – if you like Superman, or Dungeons & Dragons, or Han Solo, then you’re cool. Liking something on the geek landscape was enough to make you a homesteader in Nerd City.
Lamarr Wilson’s latest video is an honest discussion about race, and it’s very moving, especially in comparison to his usual YouTube persona. Who knew that race gets regularly interjected even into YouTube channels for geeks? It’s a really sad wake up call.
