This is in response to a video posted today, July 7th, by Casey Neistat. While some of the comments I make are addressed to him directly, many of my comments are to those who believe in some of the concepts I speak about. I have been a subscriber of Casey's for some time, respect his work greatly, and simply wanted to lend my voice to his discussion. <br />Casey had every right to refer to his life as privileged. It is, he leads a privileged life. Saying that doesn't take away anything he has accomplished, it's not negating his hard work. Compared to the majority of the population around the world, he does live a privileged life. He has wealth, he has freedom, and he has opportunities that most don't have; why shouldn't he be allowed to acknowledge that? You're putting your own bias on his words. <br />I have not watched Casey Niestat in a few months, Stoped watching him a few months after he started his second round of vlogs. Because of this I do not usually comment of put my opinion out there but I definitely don't agree with what he is saying. We live in a capitalistic world, The end. Everything you have, are, and lack is all a product of nothing but your own hard work or there lack off. I did not get where I am because my family was rich(We were really fucking poor), or because I was white, or because I was "smart"(Was dyslexic all my life, could not read and still have trouble reading for long periods of time today) its not because I got "lucky", It is because I worked my ass off, got up when I fell down, and never gave up. <br />Something I Need To Say... - Vlogmas Day 23 Amelia Liana
