Mediaboss Marketing

YouTube personality, Tommy Sotomayor, rose to fame by dumping on Black women in social media videos. Some of the gems you can find on his YouTube channels include, Name the Only Race of Women Willing to Stand in Line for Hours to Buy Bundles of Other Humans Hair, Black Chicks Start PoundCakin Each Other in the Middle of the Street and Tommy Sotomayor Explains How Black Women Are Openly Beggars When Dating.

Now, it appears that Tommy Sotomayor (nee Thomas Jerome Harris) may have bad-mouthed Black women just one too many times, as the fight is now on to have any and all of his channels, videos and promos permanently removed from YouTube.

A change.org petition is circulating to get Sotomayors videos scrubbed from the site, citing the incalculable amounts of emotional, psychological and physical harm Sotomayors videos have inflicted onBlack women and girls. The petition is asking YouTube, Google co-founders, Larry Page & Sergey Brin, Eric Schmidt who serves as the executive chairman of the Board of Directors for Alphabet Inc. and Googles CEO Sundar Pichai to be responsible and stop providing a platform for Sotomayor to purposely denigrate and demean Black women and girls and Black people in general.

In addition to the standard disgust surrounding Sotomayors content, the petitions authors also allege that his message has now escalated beyond criticizing Black women and now includes threats of physical violence on the street toward Black women. Theyve asked the content be removed from the site before it leads to actual harm against Black women.

The petition seems to be gaining traction. Around the time this article was published, 8,960 supporters had signed on to have the channels removeda little under the petitions 10,000-signature goal. A petition update indicates that several of Sotomayors channels have already begun to be removed from the site.

And that must really suck for him.

But I have to admit that I really dont feel bad for him at all. In fact, what I actually hope is that Tommys learning something new about Black women. We may stand in line for our bundles, but what were absolutely not going stand for is the base degradation of ourselves, our mothers and our daughters for his personal, social and financial gain.

How do you like us now, Tommy?! I tell you what, put it in your next YouTube videoh, wait, Im sorry.

Nevermind.
