Let’s get real, you guys: even racists need to be on the look-out for breast cancer. Because that is one disease THAT DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE. (Yikes.) (Get it?) (Yikes again.) (Awkward peace sign for 10 minutes?) (Donate here.) (Thanks for the tip, JCA.)

The boobs shall rise again!
I’m not so sure she’s racist. She’s clearly been listening to a lot of Ice Cube.
She’s not a racist, she’s a sexist. GUYS CAN GET BREAST CANCER TOO, WHY DO YOU ONLY WANT THEM TO CHECK THEIR PRIVATE PARTS!
Looks like there’s a market for a book about dating European women… yikes!
As a native speaker I can say with 100% certainty that the first 45 seconds was not in English.
I thought it was some sort of white supremacist secret code.
Also: “they might can”. *Shudder*

Baby Friday, if you weren’t already married and it wasn’t ill-advised, not to mention borderline insane to make huge life-choices based on anonymous comments on a blog, I would propose to you on the spot. Instead, please take this upvote.
Frank Lloyd-if-loving-you-is-Wrong, I don’t want to be right.
i was going to make a gif of this with baby friday in the middle, and frank lloyd wrong, and teacherman on either side of her but then my work computer crashed cause it’s a piece of shit and i lost steam so instead here it is on its own. with a link to that sweet ass song.
Ha, that definitely made me laugh as it was, so mission accomplished.
“Look I know you wanted a movie poster for X-men but this is all they had down at the Wal-mart so make do”
You put up your X and I’ll put up mine. Yee haw!
Isn’t it a bummer when you have to admit that people like that are right? Check it now, Stupid!
I grabbed my nuts when she said DO IT NOW.
Can I please have a .gif of the last 20 seconds? Those seconds were some of the funniest seconds I have ever known.
as you wish
It’s like when Forrest Gump made the peace sign, but had to do it with both hands.
The whistling-while-breathing-through-the-nose put me over the edge.
I feel like she rehearsed that part. Like she’s practicing to give some intense sass-back but hasn’t quite got it yet.
Those few seconds will be with me for the rest of my life, or 2012. I checked, I checked!!!
This guy likes what he sees:

(hint: he sees TEETH)
ugh, I reached for the stars on that one.
I’ll kindly retreat back to the world where I don’t post images on Videogum
success?
YAY! And you’re welcome!
So her eyes are CGI?
Yes, check your breasts for breast cancer! And go into the light, Carol Anne!
I was going to tell the women in my life to check their arms, legs, and toenails for breast cancer, but I now know otherwise! Thanks, possibly cognitively disabled racist hillbilly vlogger!
These breasts…are clean.
Defintely checking myself before I wreck myself.
No? I chuckled.

-Your Vice Principal Boyfriend, Beastie Boy Enthusiast
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
babe25′s sultry whisper + all the faces make me very confused.
also, can someone please make me a .gif of the last 15 seconds of this video? thanks.
HAAAA She Couldn’t find the stop button and obviously doesn’t know how to edit.
I thought she kept glancing at her left hand peace sign waiting for it to tell her when to stop.
She was checking herself for finger cancer.
I thought the same thing. I think her plan was just to sit there until the internet ran out of film
Someone’s clearly seen “Chris with a Teacup.”
I like how she knew in advance that one hand would get tired after three seconds, so she had the other one at the ready.
“Check your breasts – no matter how big they are” This is fine for all you flatties, but my moobs are huge, and I’m very, very tired.
She needs to check her teeth for YIKES! Amiright?!
Totes. I was going to give you a .gif but after sifting through the horrible sea of disgusting I just experienced, I decided not. Don’t ever google ‘teeth’. Just don’t.
“Because don’t be stupid” is the best reason to do anything ever.
Just looking through some of her other videos. That’s a Larry The Cable Guy poster on the left.
You tempted me to check them out as well. Her rendition of Nickleback’s Rock Star is superb.
Last weekend, my mom’s boyfriend played me an audio recording of what he called the funniest comedian. He pressed play and then I sat in horror as I was forced to listen to a Larry the Cable guy routine for 5 minutes.
Sounds like your mom’s boyfriend is our boyfriend.
Pretty sure that’s a Larry the Cable Guy poster on the right too.
My inner monologue just now: “What? That’s just the Conederate fl-ohhhhhhhhhh UPVOTE UPVOTE UPVOTE”
Looking through her other videos, she really wants people to leave her man alone and have a nice day. And something tells me her ‘man’ is some creepy ex-con taking advantage of her youth and/or slowness. Uck.
While you’re at it, check your teeth for whole teeth.
Bad teeth don’t discriminate!
Breast Power!
Bing, if only the choice were that easy.
Bing, they both need a cure.

The confederate flag can be generally understood to be an indicator of support of a long dead movement to keep slavery as part of the benchmarks of the Southern economy. She’s a little kid–she probably got her interest in it from her parents. And I doubt they like the colors.
Also, her teeth are kind of jacked. It’s nothing against her. They just ARE jacked.
And I talk weird too. Don’t worry, I’ve got a picture of myself in my wallet and a recording of my voice on my Zune, so I’m covered in the hypocrite department.
Sometimes, you will be in high school and someone will have recently moved from the south to the north and that someone will try and tell you that the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery, but instead it was about state’s rights. It’s ok to tell that someone to shut the fuck up. Not in a mean way but just so that person doesn’t think that you are arguing different, but equally legitimate points.
In Virginia we learned that the real cause of the Civil War was the “economy.” It took me years to realize that when they said the “economy,” they meant slaves. The more you know.
Sorry, realized how self-righteous that came off. Teeth, bugeyes– meanspirited but fair game. But equating a confederate flag with racism just seems like a lazy attack on character to me. In the south you really do become desensitized to it as a symbol of “racism,” it is more of a “southern pride” thing. She didn’t do anything to suggest that she’s racist. She’s already weird enough, do we have to pin that kind of thing on her too?
But wouldn’t you say that the Southern pride understanding of it must always come back to some support of the Civil War? I really think it’s impossible to divorce the two.
Yeah, you can’t really rock a swastika and claim Buddhist pride these days. Technically, it may be correct, but everybody knows better.
I’m no Professor History over here but I always thought that the South succeeded because Abraham Lincoln won the presidency without the support of a single southern state. Slavery was an issue – but one that could have been resolved without a war.
Of course I was schooled in the South so…
That being said – I wouldn’t touch the rebel flag because the people I knew that had one where gross.
I think the only way the issue of slavery could have been resolved without a war is if the North yet again caved and said, “Okay you guys, let’s expand slavery into the West and even parts of the North. That’s good for everyone. Yay slaves!”
Scrabio and Hotspur: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crittenden_Compromise
Mans: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Walker_%28filibuster%29
If we took the Crittenden deal, the South would have driven us to take over all of Central America so that there’d be more slave states than free. So we would not have resolved the issue without war.
Pretty sure the South didn’t succeed. They definitely did secede, but they kind of failed. Of course, try telling that to someone rockin’ a Confederate flag…
Oh, no, Hotspur, I agree. I was only providing a cite to what you were talking about. The South was not going to accept anything less than letting them have everything they want (sound familiar?). Also, when dealing with HUMAN SLAVERY, there is no such thing as a compromise–if you still have slaves, you still have slaves.
I also cited it for the pure horror that one of the provisions was a Constitutional amendment that would ban any future amendment to the Constitution that took away slavery.
We, of course, didn’t do this, fought a war and got a 14th Amendment that recognized that anyone born on American soil was an American citizen. This is what the Tea Party wants to repeal.
Ignorance and bad grammar… it’d be nice if I could be a shining execption to the southern stereotype but I failed so hard today.
Sigh*
Also – I stand corrected – it is hard to shove off all the things that my daddy (and high school) told me about the Civil War.
Guys, we are wasting valuable time arguing about this when we should all be just checking our private parts.
Me: Mr. Franco, will you kindly oblige us with a tutorial?
JF: Well, LADIES, first you raise your arm like so…
Is the buddy system acceptable for checking our private parts? Just wondering.
Once again, Mr. Franco will you offer us your thoughts on this matter?
JF: Yes, the Buddy System is totally acceptable…
I honestly think that confederate flag just did a hell of a photobomb.
But you’re right, she didn’t really do anything racist in the video, seems sweet enough and the message is unassailable. If anyone knows this young lady, maybe you can set her straight on some of the less-Skynardy aspects of the flag?
Find that cancer, LADIES!!!1!!1!
You have to love how her suggestion to ‘find a doctor’ is presented in the same way as ‘Pray to God’ might be. Both are a longshot.
This is just me, but I was born and raised in Southeast Louisiana, and I don’t see the Confederate flag as a symbol of “Southern Pride.” Maybe it’s not fair to equate the flag to racism, but in my experience, if you are showing off that flag, you are a proud racist.
Again, being born and raised in the south
Rebel Flags = Racism = Learned it from their momma
thisismynightmare + imsoexcited = the ones who got away.
THANK GOD!
I’ll second this as a fellow southerner. Generally you’ll only see Confederate flags flying in neighborhoods where black people won’t go. While it is a stereotype, in my experience it’s also been fairly accurate. Though I don’t think it’s appropriate to call this little girl a racist because of this video (I agree with the sentiment), the flag is definitely a symbol of racism, not just “southern pride.”
I’ve also said this before on VG, but I’ll say it again: It’s a secessionist flag and, at the very least, symbolizes treasonous action. So there’s that, too. If you take the racism out of it, it’s still a very bad flag for an American to fly.
I got into an argument in law school once with someone about this (during class). I told them they may as well fly Al Qaeda’s flag as they were basically the same thing. That person never spoke to me again.
Agreed. I’ve lived in the South my entire life. If someone tells you that the Confederate flag is about “Southern Pride” exclusive of the racist history it implies, they are either bullshitting you or bullshitting themselves (perhaps they themselves have been bullshat, but I find that unlikely).
Becoming desensitized to it is not actually fixing the problem.
That being said, she looks young enough that what she probably needs is a better education, as opposed to the sharp punch in the brain warranted by most Confederacy apologists. Better make it quick, though.
I have lived in the South my whole life and I am not desensitized to the Confederate flag. It is, and always will be, a symbol of racial hate and terrorism.
Well if the flag left you with doubts, there is a video of her actually wearing a KKK mask that ”she made herself ” . I do think there is something wrong with her on a deeper level,
I think you’re right about that. Possibly even more disturbing than the KKK helmet video is the one of her wearing a wig, eating a tube of toothpaste while a voiceover of her sings “Move bitch, get out the way” over and over again. Guys, I’m thinking that blatant, genetically programmed racism might actually be the least of this girl’s problems.
Sure, overt racism exists everywhere (not just the south) in a society founded on white supremacy. And the stereotype of a slack-jawed hillbilly being racist is simply bigotry against mostly working poor southerners. That said, there’s no excusing the confederate battle flag as anything other than a symbol of racism and hatred. Fuck white supremacist “heritage.”
Something that does sometimes bother me about Videogum is the almost over-enthusiasm to call people out as racists from time to time. Maybe I’m just optimistic in presuming she’s just a young woman with poor choice in wall decoration who may at worst be a bit ignorant. And not necessarily a hateful, prejudiced, awful, awful person. For all we know her wallet might be full of pictures of black people. Automatically assuming the worst seems unfair to me. Anyway, downvotes ahoy I guess.
Nah, someone else pointed it out below I think. She’s got a video up called “Babe25 with her new medieval helmet” and she’s wearing a KKK hat and mask and talking about the Klan. And the guy she’s with thinks they’re gay now because of all the different colored robes they wear. Unless it’s VERY under the radar subversive stuff, it’s pretty explicit KKK-aspirational stuff.
Seriously? Goddammit. Well there goes my hoping against hope I posted about below. Fuck the South sometimes y’all.
What you posted below though was great, regardless of how she actually is. It made me want to hug someone.
Yeah just saw that now. My bad. Oh well, it was nice to hope for a while.
whoops. well, she certainly puts the “supreme” in “white supremacy.”
Maybe that’s why she holds the peace symbol so long. As a symbol, it is the antidote to the flag. She’s thinking, “Okay, the war to destroy the US was 4 years long but it was 145 years ago… how many seconds should I hold this? Ten? Fifteen? Oh my gosh too much math. I’ll just do a whole mess of seconds and switch off paws if one gets wore out.”
Why would anyone have “southern pride” about the confederate times? I don’t hear northerners rallying for northern pride. Besides didn’t the confederate states lose?
Wait, did she say something racist, or are we just making assumptions because of the big Confederate flag in the background? I am confused, but that could be because I didn’t take my pills this morning.
I honestly ask because I could not – for the life of me – understand what she was saying for about the first minute of this thing.
No no no….she’s racist. Just found her video entitled “Babe25 with her new medieval helmet”.
Medieval helmet = KKK Hat (do they call them hats?)
They call them hoods.
Oh, duh. I think watching her Nickelback video and KKK video actually made me dumber.
her hood:

Okay. Received and acknowledged. She is terrible.
some one should let her know that when it comes to cancer, BEING WHITE IS HARD.
That awkward peace sign felt like a Herzog film.
Guys, check your banjos for cancer:
apropos of nothing but the confederate flag, i was in marysville, ca this weekend visiting the in-laws and i rolled by the flea market. did you know that in 2010, in northern fuckin’ california, you can buy a confederate flag plush blanket from a latino dude? (the fact that it’s a latino dude selling it is not really important, dude is just trying to make a buck and clearly there’s a market for them. though it is that thing that people always call ironic, that isn’t actually ironic, what’s the proper word for that?).
now, i know this lady is probably from the south, and some monsters have noted that it might not be fair to assume she’s a racist, which i can at least begin to understand. like, it’s completely misguided and if you thought about it for a second, you would rip that shit off your wall if you weren’t racist, but in the south it does mean more than just racism. like, the south did get fucked for a long fucking time (still?) and that flag represents a pride in place that goes beyond racism, but seriously, to avoid confusion can you get a new fucking symbol to represent that pride please, south?
anyways, the point being, if you buy a fucking confederate flag plush blanket in northern california in 2010 there is no disguising what you mean, you are a fucking racist. this lady, maybe not but she should certainly consider a home makeover and some deeper thinking about the implications of her symbolic design choices.
This is my new symbol for Southern pride:
We’re so proud to be Southern that we don’t give a care that our symbol looks like an oddly colored butt!
Maybe the Knoxville Wigdome?
Or this?
Now I would be proud if that were on her wall.
As a librarian in Texas, I obviously want this to be on the wall of everyone who posts to youtube. I’ll keep working on it.
Look at a Prop. 8 voting map. Marysville was in a “yes” county; why wouldn’t there be a market for confederate flag blankets? Ha ha California’s so liberal.
dude, i’ve been going up to the yuba city/marysville area (olivehurst specifically) at least monthly for 10+ years now. i’m well aware of the demographic. my point was that there couldn’t be any confusion as to the meaning of it in such a place as most people there have little to no ties to the south. i’m not surprised that there are racists in that area, my wife and in-laws are mexican-american, so i’ve seen it firsthand from their methed up aryan nation neighbors. but i was a little surprised and upset that it’s accepted enough as a thing that you can buy a flag at the flea market. i would have hoped it would be a litte more frowned upon than in the south because in california it can mean only one thing. there’s no such thing as dixie pride here.
also, don’t you think it’s a bit of a dangerous leap to assume that all supporters of prop 8 are also racists?
Southern people CAN move, you know. It’s a myth that ALL of our trailers are up on cinderblocks. And if your wife and in-laws are from Mexico, isn’t that the southernmost (literally, not racistmost) part of North America? So I’m saying there could be a (very small) group of transplants that this guy is trying to serve in the most ironic way possible (Hipster Flea Market?).
Whatever, I really don’t care, I just think the discussion in this thread is interesting and I’m trying to keep it going.
Anyway, this is me:
yeah, i was sorta regretting writing that as i was doing it. clearly, people in california can have very strong ties to the south, from okies in the 30s (wait, does oklahoma count as the south, i dunno?), to shipbuilders in wwii, to lots of folks post-katrina, to thousands, if not millions, in between. so yeah, i guess if you bought a confederate flag at the flea market in marysville you could be making a misguided attempt at showing your love for the south. but, i guess my point is that, regardless of intent, in california it is more likely to be interpreted as flat out racism than it would in the south. maybe? i dunno, i’ve only ever been to austin for sxsw so my knowledge of the south is hella weak, maybe i should just shut up. if you wanna talk about the racial politics of the bay area though, hit me up.
Guys, I just called the doctor and made a pointment to check it. You should too, don’t wait until you get it.
Here’s the thing: The Confederate flag is totally reprehensible. Completely. No excuses. But having grown up in a small city in Alabama, with cousins who grew up in even smaller town Alabama, I at least feel like this poor little girl is on the right track. She appears to be trying to expand her horizons outside of the small town in which she finds herself, and one would hope, as she gets older her expanded horizons will include a recognition of the intolerance that the Confederate flag represents and that she is more than likely exposed to on a regular basis by virtue of where she lives.
More than anything, this video made me sad, because I know people like her, who look like her, and sound like her, and have been brought up in the same kind of world, and they may never escape it and never understand the diversity of the world around them. At least she’s taking to the internet with a (perhaps ill-executed) video about something that’s important and demonstrates at least some level of concern for people in the world. That level of concern, given the proper encouragement, could then expand to encompass more people, and she could be the person who teaches her community a little more about tolerance. Maybe we have her all wrong, and she showed up for school in purple today. Here’s hoping.
i love this comment so much i want to check it for breast cancer
I had kids that wore purple today (even straight boy kids!) and I upvoted them IRL. That is why teaching is the best. Because some kids will totally surprise you.
I love this .gif more than life.

Oh way down South in the land of Cotton.
Breast exams should not be forgotten.
Check away! Check away! Check away! Breast Exam.
I checked myself for Cancer!, hooray! hooray!
A Dixie Land-style breast exam, I will not die in Dixie.
Oh, FLW. Please check yourself for breast cancer because you should never die.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month is October, dummy.
maybe this joke is too complex for me? isn’t it october? am i missing something?
She posted this video back on the 22nd of September, actually, but I sort of doubt that’s what Shoogy was referring to, considering his/her kind of unjustified pitilessness.
But also, where the SOUTH did this month go!? How is it already the 20th? Is anyone else worried about this? Scout’s honor, I would’ve told someone today was the 6th or something had they asked.
At around :16, she says, “‘Cause this is September, breast cancer month.” Use your ears!
See explanation below.
FAIL
Also, September is national Incest awareness month.
What a babe(25)!!

I want to hug this comment thread. Can we have that happen, please? Group hug? Let’s all press our hopefully lumpless breasts together and embrace until eternity… Videogum 4eva.
I might just take you up on that offer.
I know this would sound off kilter from the rest of the thread, but isn’t making fun of her southern hick thing racist? Therefore, everyone here is being hypocritical?

We already had this discussion. Check it out.
(I’m also from the South, so I’m like, triple hypocrite covered.)
I have ancestors who fought and died under the Confederate battle flag. The flag is on their graves. I am under no illusion that they were without flaws. Some of my Confederate forebears were slaveowners, though most were not. My feelings about the flag are complicated and conflicted, and I would not want it to be my state flag because the symbolism would be hurtful to many who have a different perspective. Still, it pains me to see so many thoughtful people be so quick to equate the flag only with the worst of what it represents. I would not be ashamed to have one on my wall to celebrate what was good and noble in those who died under it.
I would not, however, put it next to a Larry the Cable Guy poster.
I totally understand the conflict, Godsauce, as a fellow Southerner. My ancestors were sharecroppers, not slaveowners, and I can’t stand that people automatically assume that my folks were sipping mint juleps while my black friends’ folks were working in the sun. I hated when I went to college (in the South!) that my colleagues from the North automatically assumed that all Southerners were racist hicks, even though my high school was more diverse than their hoity-toity private schools. It burns me up that people hear my accent and conclude that I’m a dumbass.
But it’s that whole signifier/signified thing. Which is a sticky wicket in itself. If my symbol of pride can be used to hurt someone else, should I really take pride in it, no matter what I see it to mean? Like the swastika analogy (which is still a little different, I guess). I don’t know, it’s all an ouroboros isn’t it? But upvotes to you for a thoughtful response from a fellow Southerner.
I think it’s good that we’re even talking about it.
I agree that’s it’s good we’re even talking about it, Friday.
I’m a Southerner too (though barely – I’m from Arkansas, and am currently in Mississippi in grad school), and thoughtful commemoration of those who died with an eye to the flaws of the ideals they were fighting for is something that I can accept. But we cannot deny that many of those commemorate the Civil War with ill will towards their American brothers and sisters of all creeds and colors.
Since I’ve been in Mississippi, I have seen the Klan rally at a football tailgate because they were going to do away with our mascot. I have listened to the governor proclaim that slavery had nothing to do with the Civil War as he announced April as Confederate History Month. There are people who are recklessly embracing the Confederate battle flag without understanding what it meant and means, and, it is mostly because of these people, that the Confederate flag is so maligned.
I agree that we should be more evenly minded when it comes to talking about the Confederate flag, but we all have to remember that while the adults are having a grown-up discussion, there are others who are holding on to the flag as a symbol and manifestation of some very misanthropic ideals.
I should clarify that in both cases of the Klan rally and the governor annoucning Confederate History Month, the Confederate flag was an important symbol and was being used to advance a certain agenda with harmful or dishonest intentions and aims.
When is Goblin Face Awareness Month?
