'Seek the World', a co-founder Calvin Young's accountability apology for Blackface controversy on Facebook platform in the ASL and Deaf community.
"I am here to hold myself accountable for my wrongful action that I made back in 2011. I want to apologize deeply about that. I posted a picture of myself wearing 'blackface' on my personal profile and then I commented about how I would be a 'black uncle' (referring to Uncle Tom) under that picture. As of right now, I have taken down the picture permanently from my personal profile.
In this video, I shared the history about Blackface and Uncle Tom, and I explained why it is wrong and offensive to the people of color community.
It is important that we all hold ourselves accountable for any action we make. Do not sweep anything under the rug. We all always have accountability for our own actions regardless if it is in the past. I encourage us all to be open with each other and have a dialogue about topics related to Social Justice.
Having a dialogue with open mind and open heart is how we all grow together."

However, an openly Gay Ricky Taylor aka Ridor9th is well-known as one of the most controversial blogger in the ASL and Deaf community, share thoughts on Calvin Young's ridiculous blackface. This vlog is about the vlog produced by Calvin founded his show, Seek the World sponsored by SorensonVRS.
Ricky Taylor's comment for Calvin Young's recent apology vlog about his action in 2011 (blackface) is not acceptable and is inexcusable in the light of his background. Shame on you, Calvin. You knew better than that in the first place.
Calvin Young's apology is pretentious in attempts to save his face.
This is it - You've reached the place that perhaps the only Deaf Gay man that knew almost ... everything about your lives. Enjoy the ride. Cheers, R-
