Yeah ur 100% right bro. This video was shot in Worcester Massachusetts where Joyner is from. Im from projects in south Boston 5 minutes from were the walbergs are from. Jouners about 20minutes away and bill Burr is about 10 but I'm from south Boston and am a dj and also had the pleasure of meeting him multiple times and he's so humble I seen him in a restaurant and didn't want to bother him but he actually recognized my nobody ass and came and said hello to me my mother and son, then took a ton of pictures with my son. My son is only 7 and had no idea who the fuck he was and Joyner was fake fighting with him and let my kid draw all over him with markers.i thought dinner was about to cost me 5 grand. Lolol the coat that got colored on was so fresh. I offered to pay his dry cleaning bill I felt so bad and was said " stop it man, kids will be kids" his love for children is undeniable. He's a father threw and threw. And I'm positive the fuckin Louis Vuitton jacket he was letting my kid color on, Smfh cost more then mine, my moms and my kids clothes all together. Maybe not my mom's bag but that's different. Lol including the dinner. 😂🤣🤣😂😂 He's a class act. Then he took a pic with me with marker all over his face and coat from my kid and we had a good laugh man. He still checks in on me and my son from time to time. Area code 508 boys.

Nelson Mandela once said, "No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite. "

[@est727xx5]

Thats only half true, Its a part of nature to be prejudice against things that look different then you, As that kept you alive when we were primitive. Its a lot more complicated then Mandela claims. But actual hate is an extreme of that prejudice and can most certainly be avoided with a good upbringing. People are naturally neutral instead of being loving or hateful

[@beth-bi9yv]

I'm white, I grew up in a small rural town and never even thought there was a racist issue, mainly because there was never enough diversity for it to become an issue. However, after adopting my brother from the Philippines, I had my eyes opened. People who had always been friendly and kind to me, made snide remarks and excluded him. It took having it directly affect me to see it and that is not right. I think when people raise issues with discrimination, the group being accused gets defensive and denies it, because a large part of that group doesn't see or experience the micro and Macro aggressions the other group experiences. It's easy to ignore when it doesn't happen to you.

[@willvr4]

Well said. It's easy to think racism doesn't exist when you live in a homogenous bubble. But don't get it twisted, racism isn't just a white thing. All cultures are racist towards whatever is considered different or "lesser than". Using your brother for example, a lot of Asians specifically Koreans consider Filipinos and Thais a lower class version of Asian. And Japanese consider themselves superior to Koreans.

Racism isn’t only learned from family/culture, it’s learned from life experience. If you’ve had a negative interaction with a certain race of people more often than you’ve had a positive interaction, over time you will develop a natural bias. The problem is when you’re actively trying to harm others because of their race

[@BinkyTheToaster]

Stereotyping. Unfortunately, if it didn't work more often than not, people would stop doing it. I was taught all my life to try to see past it, and treat everyone individually, on a case-by-case basis. It's not always hard, but it's never easy. At this point, it's 50,000 years of intellectual evolution versus two million year's worth of pattern-matching evolution.

[@drabarski]

I totally agree. I used to distrust black people because i was relentlessly bullied by a number of black students at my high school for all 4 years. Thankfully, positive interactions with black coworkers since then had brought me back to reality. Sometimes, it takes one person kindness to heal old wounds. The number one lesson from my mistakes is to not mistake the person for the whole. Our brains are wired to avoid danger by associating physical traits to past threats. This can be overcome, but i takes a whole lot of willpower and hard work. Thankfully, I made the choice to do so and my life has considerably improved as a result.

[@loneponderer495]

This song isn't about which one is right. It's about taking the time to hear what others say and how they see things without feeling defensive. You can't fix things if you can't try and understand why people are the way they are. Right or wrong.

[@ciclop22yetis]

I think its more of a callout to all the super racist shit that some white people say while saying they're not racist i mean, if someone agrees with the white guy's lines in the video that person is racist, just like him, even saying that he's not. Like, that's the whole point of the song, that's why it's ironically called "I'm not racist"

[@kadenvolan3557]

But when the black dude speaks he also says „I’m not racist“ so by the stance of your argument he is also racist. He is not though, both aren’t. The song, I believe, is about the fact that most people on the left and right are viewed as racist by the other side despite the fact that they could never understand where that person is coming from. Black People disowning blacks like the Hodge Twins and whites disowning whites like Eminem.

[@loneponderer495]

@@kadenvolan3557 I think the I'm not Racist line and name is simple they don't think they are. Both sides are ignorant of the others thoughts. That is the point of the song. The people on the extreme edge of either side tend to not listen to the other side. They just see things as they do and it becomes a part of who they are. Any view that counters their own is seen as a personal attack instead of new information to consider. This video is basically an interpretation on what would happen if both sides could say what they want, but also listen to the other side openly and without feeling personally attacked. The point of the song is we all have to actual listen and consider what people say if we ever want to get someplace with Racism. I'm not racist is just a common thing said by anyone who is about to say something racist while hoping to not be called racist. It's an attempt to defend against an attack they fear is coming if they speak honestly. It's is literally the problem. We have to be able to speak freely and we can't if we are always thinking we are going to be attacked for what we say, and we therefore can not learn.

[@aj71169]

A couple of points to ponder- This video is about stereotypes, over-generalized beliefs about a particular category of people. But the very definition says over-generalized, not untrue. Tribalism is an excellent designation. But now we have two problems. First, we are required to defend those in our tribe even when we may actually agree with the negative belief. As an example from the song, as a 50-yr old black man I can say I am a part of the ‘pull your pants up’ brigade. And I’ve had discussions with younger family members about the rap content they like, where I ask what does it do besides say to chase money. Second, as a tribe member we are now prohibited from disavowing the stereotypes that our group presents about others. So we then become complicit when we don’t acknowledge the things we know are merely stereotypical. And the tribalism grows. Not an attempt to condemn or condone, but merely a request that we consider the inconvenience truths of our own tribes while we continue to challenge others.

But, even though I was not exposed to many other cultures growing up, my parents were very vocal that we treat others based on the strength of their character and not based on their socio-economic status, ethnicity, religion, etc. I agree that if one generation can embrace diversity we can get rid of this nonsense for good.

Far too many people try to justify racism by pointing out the fact that tribalism is a natural human instinct. That's true to an extent, and there was a time when tribalism was useful to our species. However, tribalism is different from racism. Racism is targeted and "reasoned" and therefore learned. And you're right in saying it usually comes from at least one parent. American History X explored that really well. My mom used to say things all the time that I didn't even think about as a kid, but looking back, they were that specifically white sort of subtle racism that often turns kids into extremists just by planting those small seeds. Those same kids go into society and look for those specific examples they were influenced to look for, and we all know if you're looking for something specific, you're going to find it, even if it's the exception instead of the rule. Even if it isn't there at all, they'll create it out of thin air, or find a website where someone else has made it up, and because of their biases, they'll believe it and quote it. (Bill Burr's imright . com example certainly pertains here). Great reaction, guys, and great discussion during and after. I love that you guys are growing so quickly.

I'm not trying to say it's comparable to forced slavery, but it's still very heartbreaking to think about.

@@evilervcowart6234 My ancestors came from Ireland. My great grandparents were in a lucky enough position to get to "choose" to come to the US and start from the bottom in Boston. They never would have emigrated had times not been so harsh with famine, economic depression, and political oppression. It was a gamble and they suffered well after arriving. There are scars that run deep in my lineage we barely speak of. I believe we inherit the traumas of our ancestors in one way or another. America is the story of many such people with a dream of a better life. Luckily for me, conditions were right for them to make a better life for their children.

@@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026 @Evil Erv Cowart It’s all heartbreaking. Adding to that heartbreak is how much both your stories parallel reality for so many people today. We can call it something else, create a policy to veneer it, whatever; but that doesn’t change the basic facts of what it is. The people that have to “choose” to sell drugs to support their family instead of getting an education. This is why empathy is so important. If you can’t empathize with an experience you haven’t had or understand the past and make that connection, then what the fuck do you care about what happens to people? They’re just simple problems that you can solve with a “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” kind of mentality which is obviously bullshit. Most people in the world are engaged in some level of indentured servitude.

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

@@SparkimusPrime Agreed. Empathy is always important. Without it we're all screwed.

[@rimun5235]

Indentured servitude was a far cry from slavery especially in the U.S. For one, you were not bound for life, your offspring were not bound to servitude for life. Once you served your term, you were liberated.

I'm in my mid 40s. The US has had this argument for 40 years of my life. I went to high school in a 50/50 white to black in Richmond, California. The night Rodney King got beat by the cops..every white kid stayed home. We got issues lol.

Both sides have great arguments. But the point is that we should listen to one another and understand each other so we can come to a common ground.

I work in the hood , it's my income . So many elderly customers are utterly surprised to see my white looking hide pull up dressed proper and clean next to drug houses walk up , knock and am not one bit bothered . I wish you could see how it starts off tense from their side , then they realize I just don't care about their lifestyle . I'm more interested in helping out and doing what I do . Folks call non stop for me to come help their families . Lol , last week was a bunch of slingers watching as I kicked a pit bull in his nuts as he jumped up on me . Dog landed in a heap , gathered himself up very slowly walked into his doghouse . He laid there watching me work the rest of the day . Folks didn't think his chain was that long . Dog found out it was protecting him from my steel toed boot , lol. In truth , he was a really sweet dog that liked leaping up on anyone he newly met . My family , myself included , my church and my community are so mixed up we don't have a clue what we are . It's my hometown . Ginger devils! Lol , I had to say that . 🤣 love the channel

You guys make me wish I was a British bloke. Just your terminology and "slang" makes it so much better. I wish we used some of these terms in America. Some of your words just capture what us Americans don't have good words for lol so chill and so deep. Love you guys, keep it up. Edit: Not to make this super political or historical or whatever, but sometimes I sit and laugh at the fact that America was founded in retrospect of the "immorality" of the English empire but I sit and look at America and compare it to the modern day "english" empire and I laugh. Yeah, we fixed shit lol

The biggest threat to humankind are humans. I'll always believe this. I live in Colorado, and we've just experienced more losses of life, for NO reason. No matter what he says or claims, it was hatred. My heart aches for everyone who has experienced this trauma. Police, family, bystanders, friends of friends... I knew people involved in the Aurora Theater shootings, and to this day they're still dealing with PTSD. It's so sad...

guys I love your content and great video like always. i just wanted to make the point that Sudia Arabia is NOT the norm for a middle eastern or Arab country. its like saying that the Vatican is a representation of a European country. i am an anthesis from Syria and before the dictator went full crazy we had and still have a good relationships between different faiths. for example my city of lattakia (3 million people) have a 25 to 30% Christian population that have been living there for long before the crusades. Lebanon, Egypt , Iran ..... also have a big Christian population. just wanted to clarify that. agine thanks for the great content and I wish that you can react to some Warhammer 40k.

[@djjazzyjeff1232]

I've always wondered what the reaction would be if the black guy in the video went first and the white guy went second. I think it might be very different. The video (I think) is supposed to be an episode of two people from different races just sort of getting everything off their chests with zero regard for being polite or PC or whatever. Like it was sort of saying that we're not allowed to get it out and we suppress it and that's dangerous. If we were able to take a good hard look at each other and just vent or whatever maybe we could move past it and make the world better. At least, that's what I get from it. A lot of people get a lot of things from it which that's what good art is I suppose.

I experienced racism as a 5 year old at school in southern Mississippi. I didn't know what race was. Now my kids play with the kids across the street and race is the last things on their mind. But I had one friend and she told me her mother didn't raise her that way. To know at 5 that hatred of all kinds is taught is a big thing. But not all racism is hate. Sometimes it's supporting things, people, and policies that oppress others because of color. Sometimes it's disregarding concerns of people of a certain color. Some people have it internalized so well they don't even think about it or know they do it.
