Keegan-Michael Key Is Finding Optimism In Signs of Unity

[@AprilGabrielle]

I love Keegan. I love looking at his face.

[@sunvavachi]

lol

[@ThanhMaiOFFICIAL]

It’s definitely important to be hopeful in finding unity in times of chaos and unrest. I appreciate his positive energy and optimism 🙌💯

[@copernicofelinis]

As an European, not subject to police violence, I have to admit that before the era of the omnipresent camera it would have been easy to dismiss reports of police brutality with a shrug and a thought on the lines of "he must have done something to deserve that". This is no longer possible now. Evidence of unwarranted police brutality in the US is undeniable and overwhelming. It is beyond appalling that this has not been addressed before.

[@baetrvxfsch2995]

Yeah. Police here are not brutal. But, the people in Europe? Tsk tsk.

[@kevinmcl29]

No police brutality in Europe? Absolute nonsense

[@charlottegreenway5307]

There is for sure police brutality in Europe they just happen to not carry guns

[@ijustwanttosleepnow]

Depends where you live in Europe. We have very little police brutality in Canada. Not saying it doesn’t exist here and that we don’t have a dark past with it, we do especially in the 70s. I watched Michael Che say how he’s never called the cops before because he doesn’t feel that they are for him. This is heart breaking. I have called the cops more times than I can count when I see someone in danger because I know they will do their best to come out and try to help whoever is being harmed. Or if I hear a gunshot. They’ll come out to roam the streets and make sure no one is in distress. We’re far from perfect up here, but I’m just mind blown by how our neighbouring country can act with such little respect for the citizens they took an oath to protect in this day and age. America has to demilitarize their police and revamp their training programs.

[@copernicofelinis]

@MrPippinsays how many whites and how many blacks in the population? Talk about manipulation... Also, can someone name the last three men choked to death by the police in Europe (make it the EU)?

[@Alexz_Archivz]

@02:15 "Your house is NOT on fire" BRILLANT!!!!!

[@kcgeil]

That house on fire analogy is brilliant.

[@spooki6637]

Keegans energy is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@SpiralCee]

I love Keegan's voice. I think he should do audio books or meditations. :D

[@deonjaystar6125]

Keegan is wonderful stay positive smile...

[@jasonlancaster3663]

Love Key & Peele!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@wideawake5630]

n's fire dept analogy is the best explanation I've heard. I will use it.

[@volvo850rex]

WIDE AWAKE comedians have a way of wording complexities that give us a better or another view point

[@Nazaba09]

Mike Corder it wasn’t Keegan’s invention, it was a meme that was going around.

[@narzi_n]

Keegan is the best🔥🔥🔥

[@ekdud2772]

I love this man I agree with everything he’s saying

[@kwebst1]

great analogy!!

[@wideawake5630]

It's just being filmed now, yes but hate crimes have increased in the Trump era, too.

[@ws2228]

You mean fake hate crimes.

[@evanwithers9158]

Hate crimes towards Trump supporters, conservatives and republicans more than anything else 😂 and no, none of those are the same thing

[@annyseur3714]

Everyone needs to realize that these individuals are not susceptible to metaphors. That requires thought. We keep trying.. year after year. either way.. love your work

[@Victoria.8.7]

The house fire analogy is very good

[@violetbabygirl5193]

Keegan on HOT ONES is halarious

[@VexylObby]

Just so you know, the American Dream only exist for the fortunate few that can afford it. Those in control. i know that sound conspiratorial, but that is the issue we will all come to realize together. We do NOT have control of our own systems. It is more than just systematic racism, it is also power struggle.

[@erupter76500]

While I agree with Keegan on nearly everything he said. I really wish people with a platform would be more out spoken about the looting and rioting. I understand that people are frustrated, angry, and are just trying to find an outlet, but I really think doing such things not only hurts the movement as a whole because it undermines the actual productive protests going on, but also hurts small business owners as well. Some of the businesses that have been looted are owned by African Americans and forgive me if I just don't understand how that is productive. Violence just breeds more violence. I know this comment will just get lost or get some hate and for that reason I don't normally write comments on social media as a whole I just felt I needed to put my opinion out there this time.

[@RealGeorgeYanez]

Wow! the analogy of the house burning and all the other houses telling the firefighters “all houses matter”, yes that’s true but this one right here is the one that’s burning now... made so much sense to me

[@sbn2885]

Good example, the one with the house on fire. I agree, stop saying all lives matter in response to BLM. It's unintelligent and childish

[@iago4810]

I think one of the legs of the problem is the fact that there are so many arms on the US. That amount of guns allow the police to act much more agressively than they would in my Country (Spain) or in so many other countries where owning a gun is not very common.

[@wesleyallen3810]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5jVaIptiMx1ipY At the five minute mark he smirks cause this idea he is about to share is very powerful... people are focusing on looting as the enemy, but let's also focus when companies, corporations, and people in power are looting their employees...

[@ws2228]

DAVID DORN RIP

[@peggygibbons479]

I totally disagree with the looting. That defeats their entire message. I understand No Justice No Peace, that should mean block roads to be heard, not burn businesses and steal stuff from a business owner who might be hanging on my the skin of their teeth. Even on Scared Straight, even BEFORE the cops killed anyone, these punks say No, I don't have a job and I don't WANT a job, If I want something, I will steal it.

[@lilbolssom]

Ignorance isn't an excuse for you anymore. Your given evidence, thoughtful discussion, and heartfelt pained experiences. Yet your more worried about property. Building and goods can be rebuilt and replaced. Lives can't. "These punks, before cops killed anyone.." cops have been killing people from day one. It's just know on your tv, thts the only thing that's changed. If looting defeats the ENTIRE message for you then you wasnt listening anyways.

[@DevinC12]

1:56 Thank me later peeps..

[@larycel]

I love the the way that Keegan touched on some of the other issues that have people already frustrated before the George Floyd incident, and how they compounded to create an explosion. I don't think that rioting and vandalizing business owners is acceptable or will help the cause though. I also think that there is some misunderstanding when people say "all lives matter". When I say that I am referring to Yes, black lives matter as much as every other life and if they are not being valued and treated the same, then there is a problem. It's not meant to minimize BLM , it is used to say that we should all be equally valued in today's society.

[@mixy8]

I am sure a lot of the people who say “all lives matter” are not trying to minimize but the fact is that it does diminish the message. I totally agree that we should all be equally valued but the reality is, we currently aren’t. We need to point out that black lives are being taken senselessly, that they are receiving a disproportionate amount of mistreatment and injustice, that their lives are not being valued the way they should. That’s why Black Lives Matter is such an important statement. We can’t say that all lives matter until there is change that shows that black lives matter.

[@RenzohsClub]

Who is here before 1000 views?

[@karonmcgregor4753]

I agree that black and brown lives matter - but where are the Native Americans in all this?? How are things going to change to help their lives on Reservations? They also need to be a high priority now.

[@H4ck3d_by_m3lr0s3]

5th! Aren't you glad I told the truth.

[@dvolle8730]

Hey we you tonite on another show check out my son's non profit he helped his students start he teaches high school. "Regeneration Against Destruction" or RAD for short

[@random_girl1978]

Wow! I’m 40 to like this video ! ❤️🤩😱

[@jjplayzes181]

O

[@sorceress1986]

There WAS unity in this case. No one disagreed that the officer's actions were disgusting. NO ONE.

[@madisongrace7675]

Except if the video hadn't gotten out, then it was going to be written off as "medical complications during arrest", instead of murder. And even when it WENT public, if nobody had protested, then the charges would not have been what they were.

[@massemj1]

Let's protest violence by creating other acts of violence. But its OK because they need those things? Some really faulty logic right there.

[@Rysdth]

Am I first?

[@VexylObby]

Keagan had a decent analogy here. But the misrepresentation the BLM movement has doesn't do it any favors. It seems phrased as "Only Black Lives Matter" or "Everybody else is excluded". And that's when I understand the response. But most of us know that isn't the message behind BLM. We just need better communication.

[@romxxii]

Nobody represents it as "Only Black Lives Matter" except for the troglodyte racists in the AllLivesMatter camp. BlackLivesMatter means "Black Lives Matter too"

[@kayydee159]

we don’t need better communication we need y’all to UNDERSTAND ,ask to be educated. We said BLACKLIVESMATTER and white people misinterpreted it.

[@kwebst1]

I agree with the other two responses, BLM is certainly not and has never been about only blm. People who read it that way are probably white and defensive and probably fearful. I love the analogy here of houses. All houses matter but we are working on putting out the ones on fire. Noone runs out of their house when the firemen got to a house 3 blocks away and say why arent you at my house?

[@romxxii]

@@kwebst1 white supremacists have this conspiracy theory that black people and other minorities are trying to supplant them, so yeah, to them black lives mattering is a threat.

[@VexylObby]

@@romxxii That sounds like a better slogan, tbh.

[@komedisayfas7008]

Yes black people and muslims people are angel forever
