Help a young Corvette owner!!!!
Hi, everyone I have a dream to grow my YouTube channel which is called (cgarnerspeed252), I was told to reach out to some of my corvette community because I have truly met some not so friendly people else where. I am trying to truly work hard and grow my channel because people are doubting me because I am black. I love cars especially corvettes and I have no idea why my skin color has anything to do with that but it bother this once guy. If you'll could watch my videos, subscribe to my channel and share my videos that would be awesome and greatly appreciated. I have posted a link below and if it doesnt work you can go to youtube and type in cgarnerspeed252.

I see no reason whatsoever why your race should have anything to do with, well, anything, really. And if some moron has a problem, they're retarded and not worth dealing with. YouTube is all about content. Good luck with your channel. Subscribed.

First, if you are looking for people that play nice, this is the wrong place. Really, it is.
Second, if you are looking to grow your youtube channel then you need content that is helpful to other people, or at least interesting. Right now you have three videos of nothing special. Plus, you cant wait weeks at a time between posting new content.
Last, don't bring race into a discussion again. Call it white privilege if you want, but no one wants to hear about how one duschebag treated you poorly. There are quite a few people here who actually race their cars or motorcycles (or both) and every single one of them will tell you the only colors that matter are the black and white checkers ....

I am new to this forum thing!
I am new to this forum thing so I am expressing what I been dealing with, at the end of the day all I did was ask for help I wasn't sure how many times things were being posted. It seems as though only white men has commented thus far. Until you experience racism you wouldnt know how it feels. I wasn't trying to cause any harm. There was one guy that subscribe and I truly thank him for it because not one guy but a few literally said they would subscribe because I was black. I have the messages to prove it.

Are you a Youtuber????
Also I don't need another white man telling me what I can and cannot do! Once again all I did was ask for help that was it, all you could have said was no you aren't willing to help or subscribe. I have had a few guys literally out right say they weren't subscribing because I was black. Had nothing to do with my content. I worked hard for every subscriber I currently have, I only been doing this for a month.

I was just explaining what has happened in the past was all. For all I know every guy in this forum could have been black or white that didnt matter to me. All I was asking for was help I was told by my white friends to come here is all. If you watched my video just one you would see that I am black so it didnt matter whether I brought it up or not. There was one guy that subscribe and I truly thanked him for it. Listen guys I am not here to start any trouble but here to grow and figure this thing out. I could get just as rude back but that isnt my personality.

I wasn't asking for anyone to be nice I was asking for help, did you read the title? I was told by my friend who are white to join this forum so im new to this.

Lets get something straight, I'm not telling you what to do. I'm telling you how to do it, and step one is stop sabotaging yourself with the race nonsense.

Come on man, now your not even being honest. The second half of the first sentence in your original post is --> " I was told to reach out to some of my corvette community because I have truly met some not so friendly people else where".

Presently I own a 95 coupe that I drive daily, rain or shine. I have owned many others. I intend to buy the a new zr1 since that's the car I want, but its not available yet. I'm kind of torn actually between doing that and building a track car. Time will tell I guess ...

What do you think about the C8 so far?

Pretty cool, I honestly want a Zr1 as well. So the dealership where I live gave me insights on the Zr1 and also said once it arrive to their dealership I will be the first to review and make a video but I cant drive it though. The dealership where I brought my vette has 950 allocations this year but I wasn't sure who all cared about that.

I will not be happy if it has some turbo charged 6 cylinder engine though, or any other engine that sounds like a sewing machine.
