Yes, yes. I am so glad you've posted your thoughts on this vid. I was prepared to really enjoy White America -- with the chosen song and source material, I thought the vid had the potential to deliver a thought-provoking kick to fandom's (or someone's) metaphorical groin. Instead, the vid disappointed me on several different fronts, most of which you've outlined here.

Personally, I think we should spend less time discussing what we think the vid WANTS to be and more time critiquing the vid's inability to express the its arguments in any cogent way. So far, a lot of the discussion seems to assume any lingering confusion is due to the respective viewer's lack of "reading" ability or insight, and ignores the fact that this confusion could have been avoided if the vidder had made different choices. These problems are not a failure on the part of the audience. No matter how inflammatory your song choice or subject matter, if you make a "fuck you" vid and your audience is left completely unsure of who or what you are saying "fuck you" to, then you are doing something wrong.

And, as you've pointed in your comment above, the vidder now has the chance to use the critique to make a better (and better-structured) vid -- a vid that I, for one, would be interested in watching. Obviously, there is something the vidder wants to say; I wouldn't mind knowing what that is.
