Loren Feldman gets a visit from the karma police
As you may have heard, Loren Feldman has been dropped by Verizon due to the action taken by the courageous Corvida Raven. She decided to speak out about Feldman’s Tech Nigga video and I’m sure glad she did.
Loren and I, we go way back. He started off as just some weird troll that made shirtless videos. One was all about me. I don’t remember the specifics of the video, but I do remember being stunned by his sexism. However, he was just some troll, so I dismissed him. Then Robert Scoble started promoting him and pushing his content. I was shocked that someone who was so clearly a troll was being taken seriously by such a prominent figure in the blogosphere.
To use “comedy” as a defense or to call Feldman a “comedian” is in itself, a joke. If you aren’t a white male I guarantee you don’t get Loren’s “humor” (and as evidenced in the blogosphere, many white males find him offensive as well). Why? Because he is a sexist and a racist. I’ve been one of his victims and I have to say I’m enjoying this sweet, sweet karma.
I think it’s pretty interesting that most (all?) of the pro-Feldman coverage in the blogosphere has been written by white males. That speaks volumes.
Interestingly, it was a race issue that brought Feldman all of this attention… but he managed to fly under the radar as a blatant sexist.
Anyway, thank you to Hank Williams for inspiring me to speak out. I only wish I had done so sooner.
