(AMERICAN FIRST REACTION!) U.K. RAPPER DAVE- BLACK [LIVE AT BRITS] THIS HIT ME HARD!! POWERFUL!

[@RAWLAC]

I LOVE watching Americans react to this shit . This is by far the most powerful music performance I have EVER heard . FULL STOP . I was tearing up when I heard this and I'm a white guy in the U.K. If this hits he so hard then WTF does it do to black people? WOW!!!! PHENOMENAL !!!!!

[@ToneyReactions]

Got that right! Thanks man 💯💯

[@tomabela7949]

Does it matter if your white or black

[@RAWLAC]

@@tomabela7949 in this context of course it does .Having never experienced life from a black persons eyes it gives other cultures a DEEP understanding of what it is REALLY like . Thats true art and thats the true power of artistry.....isn't it ?

[@tomabela7949]

@@RAWLAC I get your point but it's annoying hearing it all the time stop specifying your skin colour or it always will be judged.

[@patrickwatkiss7872]

@@tomabela7949 I don't think it's annoying. It's being honest about the power of the track and the performance, saying it can reach out not only to those who face the underlying issues themselves, but those who don't as well. It creates resonance AND promotes further awareness which is needed.

[@Grit99]

UK grandmother here. I've watched so many Dave, Black reactions from American's. Just want to say, your understanding of Dave's lyrics and your reaction was wonderful. The last verse was written for this performance (Brit Awards - your Grammy's) and has many British references that you may not have understood. All are worth looking up: Prime Minister (equivalent: your President). Megan and Kate (our Royal family, Megan is an American actress of colour and our UK press were dreadful, constantly comparing Kate and Megan to belittle Megan). Jack Merritt AND Saskia died at the London Bridge Terrorist Attack, trying to disarm the terrorist. Dave got to know Jack because of Jack's involvement with Dave's brother who is in prison - at Jack's funeral the family spoke about the many letters from prisoners praising Jack, who they knew through the Learning Together rehabilitation programme. Saskia and Jack were course coordinators on the Cambridge University programme, which aimed to bring offenders and people in higher education together to "study alongside each other". Greenfell Fire: 72 people died, mostly people of colour. Recent repairs to a tower block were "done on the cheap". After the fire there was a Government enquiry looking into manslaughter and corporate manslaughter, misconduct in public office and breaches of fire safety regulations in relation to the fire. Windrush: Some British citizens who came from the Caribbean after World War II have been treated terribly by our Government. Many were deported, detained, lost their jobs or homes, or were denied benefits or medical care to which they were entitled. A number of long-term UK residents were refused re-entry to the UK, and a larger number were threatened with immediate deportation by the Home Office.

[@huffy2722]

The Kaepernick reaction was on point. The best reaction to this tune I have heard. I am Irish, born in the UK, and moved to Blackburn at 18 to play Ice Hockey (a town in Northern England) with 35% Pakistan/Indian/Bangladesh heritage, for 20 years. I embraced all the different cultures and have many friends from all backgrounds. My 25 year old son lives in London, one of the most diverse Cities in the World. Embrace different cultures, it makes you a better person. The more you experience other cultures the better person you become. Nice people are nice people, who gives a shite where they are from. My mother moved to the Manchester, UK in the 60's and there were shops/pubs where she lived that had signs saying 'No Blacks, No Irish , No Dogs'. Taught me to respect everyone.

[@ToneyReactions]

Appreciate the love you show!!

[@milk1730]

I remember watching this live with my housemates; we were so captivated by his performance and then completely lost our shit when he called out the prime minister. Mad respect for Dave, no other performer would have the guts or heart to do this

[@alanskill]

Mate I am so glad you got to listen this. I am white and live in the uk and I am so happy that people are being made aware by artists like Dave. If you get a chance listen to Stormzy Super Heroes which has just dropped. Also listen to Akala fire in the booth 1. Nothing but love and support from us in the uk. My children are being raised not to be colour blind but to be aware that our black brothers and sisters are all there and need to be looked out for. If their voice isn’t being heard we need to step in and help them. One love and stay safe mate

[@ToneyReactions]

Thanks! I appreciate that we need more of that teaching early on so that they are aware! My lil man is almost 1 and I'm trying to find the words to say to him when he's able to understand!

[@alanskill]

R ToneyReactions mate the fact that there people out there that a willing to find a way to makes a difference shows that there is hope for a better world!!!!!! To show what I had to deal with, my 9 year old autistic son saw me and said “what’s up my N....” he dropped the N bomb and my heart sank. I asked where he hear it and what he thought it meant. He didn’t know it was a nasty word as the KZbinr he was watched was greeting a friend when he said it. So I played the below link to him: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epC4aYuCeauNpLs I the. Asked him what he thought of the word and what it meant, he said it was a nasty word used to make someone feel like they are not human. He won’t use it again and if he sees someone using it he will kick them in the throat to help them understand..... we obviously need to iron out the kinks to a avoid future imprisonments but he understands. Moral of the story, respect your kid’s intelligence, take care

[@ToneyReactions]

@@alanskill lol iron out those kinks appreciate you!!

[@jacobschmidt1336]

Over a year and this is still my favorite video on all of KZbin. I come back and watch this so often. This performance from Dave is the greatest of all time and this is by far the best reaction to it. Love seeing your raw emotion and reaction to it. Highly recommend listening through Dave’s new album on your own time, he is so gifted and each song is beautifully crafted both lyrically and musically.

[@ToneyReactions]

THANK YOU BRO!

If you haven't already seen it, i highly recommend checking out Akala - Fire in the Booth part 1. He also talks about race and is super smart, is an actual professor. If you end up watching and liking it I recommend checking out fire in the booth 1-4. 1 and 4 are my favourites, 4 is pretty long but totally worth the watch, the ending had me emotional like this song by Dave.

Loud in out laughter silent in our suffering. That line finished me when I heard it. Even now I have to be carful as it does stir my pot. I rate Dave he did this on the most prestigious Brittan's music awards show do you know how much guts that took. I never heard about this song until four months later. Britain was up in arms I do not know about anywhere else, British people do not like it when they are faced with the truth about slavery. They will say that there is no racism in Brittan.

Sitting here shedding tears with you. I'm mixed, Egyptian/German, looking hella white and experience only a very small fraction of the discrimination others have to endure on a daily basis.

By far, my favourite reaction. By far. As a person from the U.K. Dave is a poet. A true artist in every sense of the word. Using his platform to speak from the heart. About the things that matter most. Tackling head on the issue of race. Inequality. And not giving a F who it offends.

American reactions to this makes my skin hurt from goosebumps- this whole album is incredible. I’ve heard this song so many times, but it gets the tears going every time. I’m so glad you got to see this. It is beautiful and so painfully true.

[@charleneraymond4036]

Beautiful heartfelt reaction bro! Dave's growth (although he's still about that life at times in some of his music) its beautiful to see. And he's so young so its exciting to see where he'll go from here. Just fyi, the picture of the guy at the end was Jack Merrit. He and the lady pictured both worked in helping & rehabilitating prisoners even though they're white, upper class, highly educated etc. Jack actually helped Dave's brother & family when he got sentenced to 18 years but sadly Jack was killed last year in a terrorist attack

This is probably the most powerful track of the 21st century lyrically and musically, and Dave's way of telling things has thought everyone a lot more then any history book would. You wouldn't believe but there were 300 complaints against this performance citing racism. Insane. They were all rejected by Ofcom.

Ah mate there's another group, I was part of. Those who didn't think to know. Grew up too comfortable, ignorantly thinking everything was alright. This performance woke me up, and I'm still reading based on a fire it lit in me. I had a very visceral reaction to this, tears and all, but as he basically said "we all struggle but your struggle ain't a struggle like me" I can't even begin to approach how this will feel to those who live this like you do. This really calls out all the subconscious racism that pervades. I used to think along the lines of Britain's the least racist country on the planet, we can be proud of that. Really shown a mirror on that one. Love the reaction man, it's important to see what this means to people.

[@ToneyReactions]

Appreciate you! And a lot ppl think that way.. Like " I'm the least racist" but like Dave said "the least racist is still racist" ! And equality is alright but it doesn't deserve credit! Dave spoke to my heart on this song and I'm glad he touched yours as well! 💯💪🏽

Probs to his producer too (other guy on the piano) - Fraser T Clark has mentored and guided him through the last few years abs it’s been great to see. What was so amazing about this is that it was a live performance on a huge platform for the uk. The Brit awards are like the uk version of the grammy’s and for Dave to chose this track to play, was just epic! I’m sure others will have explained the last verse in the comments for any non-uk residents, it’s not part of the original track but was super powerful, especially at such a turbulent time!

Lol right eyes wear sweating like hell

[@EnigmaTimGaming]

Excellent reaction and analysis. I'm a white metalhead in England, honestly I don't generally enjoy rap. But there are exceptions and I can respect a talented artist and Dave is incredible. Some context for the parts in the last verse that may not have made sense. Maybe you got them all, maybe not, but some of your subs may not know them so hopefully this will help. "Now if you're not gonna get it then you're never gonna get it, how the news treats Kate versus how it treated Meghan" This is in reference to the wives of Princes Will and Harry. Kate Middleton (white) can do no wrong in the eyes of the British media whereas Meghan Markle (black, mixed-race, however you want to state it, not white enough for British media, it's awful) was and is criticised at every available opportunity. To the point that Harry and Meghan have withdrawn from public office and are really no longer affiliated with the royal family. Jack Merritt was a victim of the London bridge terror attack, he confronted the guy and sadly got killed. He was from an affluent background and yet was working in a program that was aimed at improving prisoner rehabilitation. A good guy doing good things. The Windrush generation: After world war 2 the UK was short on a labour force to help rebuild the country and economy. A lot of people from Carribean countries emigrated to the UK, were provided jobs and really helped revitalise and rebuild. I want to hasten to add this was voluntary, not like they were forced to come here or anything. They have lived here ever since, legally. However in 2018 many of them were detained and even deported, some who had been born here! This country owes those people and this is how they got treated, it sickens me. Grenfell Tower. This was a dark day in 2017. A fire broke out in a large Tower Block in a relatively poor area. A number of fuck-ups occurred one after the other and resulted in massive loss of life. It later transpired that there were safety concerns over the cladding on the outside of the tower. Those concerns were ignored. That cladding was the reason the place burnt as quickly and ferociously as it did. The government was responsible for this, whether local or national, it matters not, this should never have happened. Of those who survived, many STILL haven't been rehoused.

THAT POINT THO! I knew I missing something with that Megan and Kate line cz I didn't connect the two! But they definitely treat her differently! And that's so dope of those ppl to give ppl a chance! I loved this performance fr had me in my feels lol

[@ocj2267]

My brudda for pointing this out. Give some nuance to the song for those that dont quite know

[@rubitoblondie]

@@ocj2267 Jack Merritt, from a very privileged background was also helping Dave and his family to sort out Dave's brothers prison sentence and the person that killed him on the tower bridge was someone Jack had tried to help. Jacks parents were guests of Dave in the audience not knowing of the extra verse to their son. Dave is black, beautiful,excellent and so needed in this era!. I am white and this brought me to tears, if anyone else out there is white and did not feel this in their souls then you need to question your thoughts on humanity!.
