Black Conservative Reaction To The I’m Not Racist Video From Joyner Lucas

A rapper by the name of Joyner Lucas released a viral sensation song accompanied by a music video entitled “I’m Not Racist” which deals with the topic of current-day race relations. Lucas himself is not actually in the video, but he raps the parts of both people who are featured in it.
The first person to be shown is a white male with a “Make America Great Again” hat on. He lip-syncs along with the music, giving a convincing performance. His message was that black men, and black America in general, essentially need to tighten up and do better. However, he drops the “n-word” over and over, which is most likely what Lucas thinks the average while male Trump supporter would do if they were able to speak openly and freely to a black person.
After the white male is done with his “side” of the story, the black male who he was rapping to in the video then gives his side. His appearance is probably what Joyner Lucas thinks the average white person thinks a black person looks like. Very dark skinned with a unique hairstyle, wearing a jersey. He launches into how he feels about what’s been happening in the news. Feelings of racism due to people being against the NFL protests, Black Lives Matter, and more are revealed here. At a certain part of his rap, he slaps the Make America Great Again hat off of the white male’s head.
Both sides of the rap were sitting down peacefully essentially allowing the other to get their point of view out. At the end of the video, they embrace in a hug then they appear to have a conversation with each other in a peaceful way.
As a black conservative male, I took this video to be what the average black male thinks about white male Trump voters. He thinks that they are secretly racist and would love to use the “n-word” if allowed to speak freely. He thinks that calls to end Black Lives Matter and NFL protests are racist. He also thinks that slavery has made black people victims and that they should be forever able to claim that as a reason why we are not doing well as a collective. Overall, I think the video was good because it will spark some conversation although it was not a well-balanced representation of what both sides actually are. But maybe that will be revealed through real conversation rather than this music video and song which were not.

A lot of people are missing the point of the song. It’s not about who’s right or who’s wrong, but instead realize that there are different perspectives to the same story. You got to be able to still acknowledge the other perspective without immediately disregarding it as not true. In order for us to better understand each other we have to be open and actually try to comprehend both sides, otherwise we’ll never bridge the large gap between our cultures. So please try not only look at one side of the video, there is no right or wrong, only 2 different points of view.

[@SequenceBreaker64]

The unrealism was on purpose. He wanted to show how stupid it is to constantly go on and on about race. He purposefully picked the extremes of each side, instead of an actual down the middle or average. The small bias (and its an extremely small bias for the current times towards the black individual) is probably simply because that's what Joyner Lucas was raised around. The music video was genius because it managed to present valid points for both sides in a way that wouldn't spark hate. He still slid in tons of stuff that both sides need to work on in respective communities. The only reason the video went the way it did and it seems there is some bias and unfairness is that the black individual went second. But if the white person went second then 80% of the target hip-hop audience would've been upset. You have to remember, this is written for the hip-hop and internet community. which at times are the most far left and far right groups respectively. It wasn't written to appease more down the middle political viewers. It was written to try and show how stupid far-right and far-left race opinions are and to bridge the communication gap between the unreasonable far-right and absurd far-left.

The whole point is that both sides have their biases and racist tendencies. There are realities that exist within both black and white cultures that breeds hatred and both sides perpetuate this cycle that continue to exist today. The people in this comment section claiming that this man isn't a "real black man" are literally enabling this attitude that exists in our culture.(not white or black culture but OUR culture...as Americans) Yes white racists are coming out of the woodwork in recent years, but to combat that with further hate of your own will NOT solve anything. Take a look at how men like MLK jr handled things peacefully in the face of over oppression. It takes real courage to combat something with love and peace. Cowards (white or black) lash out with rage and misunderstanding.

Tyipoe he didn’t necessarily say what they wear though. He was talking about their behavior and how if they act like an animal they will be treated like one.

Nathaniel Otu That’s what an opinion is. Wouldn’t you say that you’re absolutely convinced about your perspective? Even if he said that, he still asked you about your perspective. That’s what a healthy debate is. You’re both convinced about your side, you give your points to defend your side, and given all of the information, if both of you can’t come to a conclusion, you agree to disagree. You’re gonna run into a lot of people that are not convinced of your side, but still initiate a conversation, if you say, “well your not convinced of anything, so there’s no point in me saying anything” it defeats the purpose of said conversation. If you stick with the attitude that you have right now, you’re gonna miss out on so many great conversations that can open up someone else’s mind, and in turn maybe open your’s too. Say your piece, and also listen to others too. That’s also needed for a healthy discussion.

I love what this song is saying and I agree with a lot of points. You need to stand for your country or get out. You are NOT forced to sell drugs to make a living. And have never been a slave and hopefully none of us ever will be. This is America. Everyone is granted the same opportunity. Wether or not you wanna grab it and run with it or let it go on by is up to you. Yes. It is easier for some people to succeed then others but that goes for every race.

The part I don't get about the song is when he talks about Obama and says you couldn't wait to get him out yet he was reelected

[@michaela9967]

I don't get how white people didn't want him ? I've never met any white person who didn't like his personality. The thing is that I don't get what Obama did for black people anyway except being black. And he's not even black, he's mixed

[@JengaJay]

@@michaela9967 I agree 💯, I don't think people didn't want him out because he was black but because as a black president their wasn't really any change

[@CantTreadOnMe]

Obama was elected and re-elected BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK and not for anything he did. So his black skin got him in and kept him in not the substance he brought to the country. Half the country don't give a shit about race and the democrat half only gives a shit about race and nothing else.

[@ripkimjonghyunyoudidwell.9964]

I felt like the whole point was that although both sides had good points and thier own struggles but failed to see the others thus constanly making ignorant comments due to it and joyner lucas made tge video to show it.im fine with it if you dont agree.it makes me sad that allot are taking this and saying that thier "side" aka race is better or has it harder because of a personal problem that they had or because of something they saw on the news and cant see others pain or problems.skin color doesnt exclude struggle

[@serabi_]

unknown I don't think people are picking sides about race, but rather picking sides based off of their political views. I agree with this message, showing that these 2 extreme versions of each side having a discussion is beautiful. I find it amazing how these 2 extremes examples can find a middle ground, it shows that it's possible.

[@orlandolopez5672]

Serabi I agree with that view but the majority of people won’t see it that way it’s either gonna be one or the other side because media and all the politics has them thinking what they want them to think 🤔 instead of being independent and finding the facts themselves 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@onestop3941]

Both sides are right and wrong. They both made points you can agree with and disagree with. Sadly, I see a lot of comments saying only the white guy was right and then other comments saying ABJ is an uncle tom. I'm an independent so it's easy for me to recognize this, sadly "most" conservatives and liberals are just so damn biased.

[@someonefromsomewhere2723]

You are right. Every black person that made a video about this song was mad about the white guy saying the N word. But when the black guy’s turn came along they got exited for the respond. They did not understand the whole message. They think that it is a 1 vs 1 ( whit vs black) they don’t understand the whit guy pint of view about his opinion. They only care about comeback, thinking it gonna be lit or some crap. You are the only person’s reaction out of 20 that i watched has understood that message clearly. 👍👍

[@purpp-esque1711]

And they also disregard everything that was stated in the first half; even though this is true amongst too many of the black community.

[@sth33]

Just to add, as a 24 year old born and raised in Sweden by parents that immigrated here from persia (Iran), i came to this video after watching 4 other reaction videos (all black people reacting) and actually none of them where offended nor took any sides, which makes me wonder how you came to your stated conclusion.

[@purpp-esque1711]

It seems like they did take sides; well to me at least. They shook their heads and grimaced in disagreement with one side, and shook their heads and smiled in agreement without explanation. This person gave explanations.

[@someonefromsomewhere2723]

Clubberlang what do u mean

[@someonefromsomewhere2723]

Clubberlang the main idea of my comment on this video is that every one that i watched reacting to this video did not understand both sides. i agree with with everything that the black dude said but not the part that he said " I have to sell drugs and put food in my... " u don't have to sell drugs to make money. there is a lot of jobs that a person could work else than sell drugs. i know that the white people has made it hard on the black people to find jobs because most of the bosses in a lot of jobs are white and some of them are racist. but still he can try finding a job even minimum wage until he finds a real job.

[@thegreatawakening6284]

This dude agreed with everything the white guy said and disagreed with everything the black guy said.

[@grumpy8133]

You can see a perfect example of the issue with identity politics by looking at the comments of this video and seeing how other black people are calling this man an Uncle Tom, traitor, white etc all because he has an opinion that they don’t agree with. Close minded people are the ones creating the most division in this country.

[@grumpy8133]

Reppin Carolina For Life Okay, tell me how he is disrespecting his own race? Him speaking about how he thinks there are issues with black culture isn't disrespectful.

[@z0mggena]

Grumpy, there's acknowledging issues within your race's culture, and then there's claiming there's nothing positive to be said about the black community. @12:25 "What is 'black culture'? Is it the slang? Is it behaving like a criminal? What is 'black culture'? You tell me, because as far as what I see people talk about 'black culture' is always something negative; there's never anything real positive. Why can't 'black culture' be inventing? Progressing? Building? Why does it gotta be about just how you behave and the behavior's, like, anti-social? Why does that gotta be 'black culture'? Why can't 'American culture' be 'black culture'?" There are many, many black inventors, activists, writers, innovators, artists, etc. To the best of my understanding the black community embraces people like Oprah, Maya Angelou, Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr. just as much as they embrace Tupac, Biggie, etc. but the one month a year that the rest of us are supposed to take to learn about those people and embrace them, instead people have to have their panties in a twist and cause a huge fuss because there's no "white history month" and stupid shit like that is what keeps the division going.

[@grumpy8133]

Valith West He never said there's nothing positive to be said about black culture. What he said, and what you quoted him as saying is that everytime he hears someone talk about black culture it's always something negative. Also, since you mentioned it, it is completely ridiculous to embrace Tupac and Biggie as much as those other people you mentioned. On the topic of black history month, in my opinion, it being a thing only adds to the thinking of non-blacks as blacks being "the other" or separate from everyone else, which only works to increase the racial divide, which isn't nearly as bad as the left make it out to be by the way. Rather than having a black history month, why not educate kids more about black history in school, and do it the same way we're taught about other things rather than making it separate and giving the topic special treatment. Black people are always being talked about in the media like they're helpless victims of some kind of invisible oppressive force, which seems incredibly patronizing to me. Many famous black people, including Morgan Freeman, have been saying this for years.

[@z0mggena]

Grumpy Whoo boy, buckle up your seatbelt for this one. I'm sorry, I didn't intend for this to be so long-winded, but I tried to touch on your points as best as I could (I'm realizing that I didn't touch on a few things i.e. teaching black history year round (Spoiler: they do)) and I hope that you'll hang in there and hear me out. I'll happily do the same in return. There must be difference of interpretation in this case, because what I see is someone who is making a claim that black culture doesn't embrace innovation, progression, etc. (Why can't black culture be inventing? Progressing? Building?) but is only known for using ebonics (which is perceived to indicate a lack of education) and being criminal (Is it the slang? Is it behaving like a criminal?). I never said that those people shouldn't be embraced more, I was just making a statement that there are many notable, positive, influential figures in black culture and they are not regarded as being any less important than Tupac (as the rap mentions) and Biggie. To the best of my understanding, and I welcome anyone to correct me if I'm wrong, the reason that people like Tupac and Biggie are more prevalent is because for most they're more relatable. The fact of the matter is that not everyone is going to be as renowned and impactful as MLK, and that goes for people of every race, not just the black community. If everyone were an influencer, there'd be no one left to influence. We see the same in the white community, too - Most aren't trying to be the next Walt Whitman, Susan B Anthony, or Bill Gates. They worship people like Marilyn Monroe, Elvis and the Kardashians. Here's the thing about Black History Month - There's absolutely nothing wrong with celebrating differences and the people who have dedicated their lives to bettering the lives of others, but the fact of the matter is that white Americans haven't had to overcome the same obstacles as black, hispanic, native and asian Americans, who are STILL seen and treated as less-than. I mean honestly, there are still TONS of white Americans who try to justify colonization and slavery, assume that basically every hispanic person is here because somewhere, someone in their family illegally hopped the border, etc. When it comes down to it, we are different - We come from different backgrounds, different cultures, have different eyes, hair, and skin... What's wrong with celebrating those differences or the people who have worked so hard to try and bring about acceptance of that culture in the melting pot of America? That's the problem with ABL asking "Why can't American culture be black culture?" Because what he considers to be 'American culture' appears to be 'Christian conservative white culture', but there are so many other cultures here in America and embracing those doesn't make anyone any less American. (Unless you're a domestic terrorist or something, obviously.) "Black people are always talked about in the media..." why not find out for yourself? Ask around, learn people's stories, ask them what they've been through, and share your experiences as well. I promise you that I don't fall in line with how the media portrays white liberal agnostic women, and I doubt that you fall in line with however the media portrays whatever group you most closely identify with, either. For the sake of this point, I'm going to assume that you're a conservative christian straight white man (and I could be so very wrong, but please bear with me on this and/or feel free to state otherwise). Are you racist? Are you a white nationalist? Are you picketing Planned Parenthood, refusing service to people based on sexual orientation, and telling your wife to get back in the kitchen and make you a sandwich? Probably not. Media relies on views, and to get views they sensationalize things and talk about topics in a way that's going to engage you so that you keep watching. There is a lot of evidence to show that members of the black community have to work twice as hard to get half as far as white people, and I invite you to be open-minded and take a look at things from the other side. Google points that would support the opposite of your argument, and see what their sources have to say. Or at the very least, don't hold a double-standard, because we both know that white people make up just as many excuses for their shortcomings and get away with it. "I can't get a job because of affirmative action", "because the mexicans are taking them", "because these goddamn liberals", etc. etc. Everyone plays the blame game. Some just get away with it.
