I don't want to be overly negative on my channel but I have to pin this comment. I've gotten a lot of hate for correcting my speech around the word Indigenous - never thought I'd be called a racist pig and a woke liberal in the same day, new to KZread and it's been a wild ride lol. I don't like shallow wokeness at all, and a lot of far left people are just douchebags and want to police every little thing. But as a card carrying Conservative I'm highly disappointed with some of my brethren. Using correct terminology in publicly presented informational videos isn't woke, it's necessary. I'm not shooting the breeze on the weekend with buds, there are different standards for public speech and private chat with friends. Duh. I don't think it's racist to say the wrong words, it's just not the best choice for videos like this. Duh. Sounds trite, but I truly want this to be a channel where people come together from different backgrounds and political stripes. I appreciate everyone watching and engaging with my videos, cheers! Note - I said at the end of the video that I'd be posting a gangs of Calgary video on Sunday. I'll be posting a different video this Sunday and then the gangs of Calgary video next week.

Ey, you will NEVER have a 100% satisfaction rate, you have to be ok w that. Mother Theresa or even Jesus would get cussed out in this eco-system. One thing I learned over all my channels/years, you get thick skin fast when being a public presenter/creator, and can't over-apologize or attack back - they will eat you fast. Just be impartial, intelligent people fully innerstand what you're doing.

Im only 25% MicMac and mostly Balkan Serbian, but i know lots of gangs, and i slowly progressed into Crime and Gangs myself when i was 12/13yrs old, i started getting Charged and my Court Sentences started off with 1 year Probation and Fines at 13, and then got 9 months Monitored House Arrest a few weeks after my 15th BDay except for when i was at School, but my Junior/High School was Very Strict and i was a Troubled Kid, which didnt mix, it had Extra-BulletProof Glass with Wires in between 2 Bulletproof Window Panes, and was quite a Large School that had over 1,400 13-18yr old Kids, plus over 150 Teachers & Staff, it also had 4 Un-Armed Security Guards that were Controlled by 2 Rotating Armed Police Officers with a Mini Police Sub-Station in the School with an Office Equipped with 2 Holding Cells. The reason was mostly because of a Bomb Threat at one of the Elementary Schools a few blocks away in 97'/98'ish, and i was attending there when it happened, i was in Grade 3, and after i was done 3rd Grade something terrible had happened to my mom, and my Mom had to Move Us to a 17Story Womens Shelter in Downtown Edmonton, that had a Kindergarten-Grade 7 School with a Fenced Protected Rooftop Playground at the 10th Floor for the first half of Grade 4, and then We were moved to Wetaskwin Women's Shelter where i Finished the other Half of Grade 4, and we moved back South shorty after the end of my School year in July 1999. This just happened to be 3 months after a School Shooting in 99', a CopyCat TrenchCoat School Shooting that happened just a few days after Columbine happened... Anyways after i did my house arrest i was still 15, but was getting worse and more involved in the Streets, at 16yrs old in 2006, i did 1 Short 6 Month Youth Sentence (Served 140 of 180 Days) in CYOC, and once i was 18, actually on my 18th bday i got 30 days in jail which was a sh!tty 18th bday, lol but in all, ive done a few Short Provincial Stints (30, 90, 150, and 320 Days) and a Couple Longer Provincial Stints (400 and 480Days) All in Alberta, and your right about the Warriors, they are Usually Lead by Native American Members and have alot like 3/4 Native or Part Native Native Members, but its been a Mixed Gang Now for a while (All Western Province Factions anyways), and AB and BC Warriors consist of quite a few Full Blooded Caucasian, African-Canadians, and Asian members. Good video tho man! KEEP IT UP! I just wanted to Correct you tho, so you can Learn and maybe have Some Short 5-10 Minute Part.2 Extended Videos, that will ALL Ultimately Add Up to More Subs, Likes, and Views. It will also Reach a Larger Audience, and Practice for You and Your Content Creating for your YT Channel and hopefully put some extra Change in your pocket, if your up to it. First i want to help ya out and teach ya some info on the Black Caribbean and African-Canadian Gang Gang Prescence to look up Carribana ha eto know that Edmonton is #2 in Canadas Top 5 Metros with African, African-Canadian, and Black Caribbean Gangs, so it does have the Largest Black Gang Prescence Outside of Toronto followed by MTL and then Winnipeg and Halifax. However Toronto and Edmonton both Hold some of the Largest Carribana Festivals in North America, but the Black gangs are mostly Caribbean Jamaican, Hatian, Brazilan, and Dominican, followed by Nigerian, Congolese, and Ethiopian Gangs. The Alberta Government has a Reccomendation though that Mainstrean Newspapers and News NetWorks dont use the Gang Names, so its harder to study. Calgary, Vancouver and MTL will be awesome Vids, those cities have more Organized Large Mixed Criminal Organizations that arent based on Race Anymore, Although they may have a Name that Says so.. However ALOT of White/Dark White Southern/Eastern European Balkan, Mediterranean, and Baltic 1st-3rd Generation people with Family Members from Countries like Ukraine, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Serbia, Romania, Armenia, Albania, Italy, Greece, Spain. Ireland and France as well. Another Cool Video would be on Albertas Large Town-Mid Size City Gangs with Populations under 200k. Also The Okanagan (Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon, Penticton, Peachland) would be Awesome!!

as someone with native blood who has faced racism countless times; there is absolutely nothing wrong with calling first nations people natives. anyone who has a problem with that has a chip on their shoulder or too much time on their hands. that being said, the most important thing is to not be racist in your day to day life. when racism shows it's ugly face at schools workplaces and even hospitals it can be quite devastating.

Hey thanks for watching, all the best to you!

I came from a country with serious poverty. Canadian poverty is considered middle class lifestyle in those countries. But I have barely seen people getting into crimes , drugs , alcohol etc. I may be wrong but I think people need to stop blaming the government because government do spend way more money on indigenous people compare to average Canadians but nothing good came out of that . Just like any other country u can’t live in an isolated area and expect to get all the facilities. Accountability is needed because u can’t blame everything on trauma . Their trauma should not be a concern to my kids safety.

Never mind "proper terms" even they are not offered by the terms

You should read Danny wolfes book they said they started on langside there was 7 of them. I'm not sure if they are against the bikers tho when I was in stoney they where running with them but I heard they are not with them again. MOB are not with the warriors any more. There is no red alert here TS is not really here and they had green rags.

Hey thanks for watching and I appreciate your feedback - and this is going to be a channel where people can reasonably challenge me, annoys me when other channels don't do that. I get where you're coming from, and I like people like you that don't get hung up on that stuff, I'm honestly the same way in casual talk. I get it. But I disagree that correcting my words in this context is kissing butt, it's just not. I've definitely gotten a lot of complaints and requests from the crazies, but people have actually approached me quite reasonably about some of my word choices. I don't actually agree that using the wrong words is "racist" per se, but I'm presenting some pretty contentious topics where I really have to tread lightly. And I just think it's reasonable to use the "acceptable" terms whenever possible - not necessarily in casual speech but certainly when I'm presenting these topics. Anyways, you may disagree but I wanted to respond in a nuanced way because I totally get where you're coming from but I see it a bit differently in this case. Cheers

@@strangenorth I feel I am an expert on this issue having been addicted to KZread for over a decade. It is only acceptable to play music during points at which nobody is talking. For example, if you are showing Russians getting blown up by a drone, you can play music at a low volume during the clip. If you are talking, it is annoying to viewers because it is distracting and harder to hear the information.
