It is background information. Why the video was made in the first place, 
who it is addressing and why someone does not want to make an hour long 
video with a balanced point of view that appeals to every person on this 
earth. But you knew that already, so why am I even answering. Perhaps to 
point out that you are taking this video literally and disregard it's 
historical context? Nah, I wouldn't do such a thing.
