[@ancientmingyu0604]

As soon as I saw Tom dropped his new song (over an hour late, hate me) I stopped LITERALLY everything I did and first watched the MV and then your reaction. So right now I am sitting butt naked in the shower, finishing up this comment so I can shower and clean off all the heat caused by the fire of that new song!! 💥🔥 In the end I found that Tom's songs all have a single very easy to understand message. Kept simple and clean. For example: White Boy- don't be racist Dear Rappers- Get real again Sad Rappers- Don't listen to garbage. Straight White Male- Don't be an asshole Castle- We all got a story I wish- Everybody is allowed to feel lost and hurt This House- We won't back down Hangman- I won't give up At least that's what I get from them. So, thank you Tom. You're great ❤

[@jasonwheeler3238]

I have to say Hangman is my favorite song by him. Having dep/anx that song hits home on so many levels 🤘💚🤘

[@ancientmingyu0604]

@@jasonwheeler3238 My favorites are "Castle", "I wish" and "This House". Hits home for me way too much but also spends comfort and strength. I got dep/anx too and "This House" the most makes me feel empowered to be my own story's writer.

[@nate2838]

@@ancientmingyu0604 My favorite is Castles, as it addresses one of the biggest problems with our society - judgement. When we judge we cease to see the other as human, seeing them as less than ourselves, and allows us an excuse to not care about the other. The world is a different place when people respect each other and can appreciate the good in others. That is not to say don't have boundaries, however when we see the good in others, we also may see a small way to encourage that good as well.

[@ancientmingyu0604]

@@nate2838 Brilliant view of things! Thank you for sharing, I am absolutely with you on this one.

[@ians489]

I just noticed something. At 3:00 when he has the video paused the measurements in the back are 6'4" and 5'8". In MGKs rap devil(bad eminem diss), he says he could never look up to em because he's 5'8" and mgk is 6'4". In this vid 5'8" is above 6'4", implying that em is better than mgk. Which is obviously true, but tom also has himself as taller than both measurements, which may be saying he's better than both. Either I'm crazy or tom Macdonald is throwing very well hidden shots at Eminem.

You're provin what they already say about us.(white people) I'm not gonna lose friends cuz u wanna be an ass" and i knocked the **** out of him. I didn't get in trouble because everyone stood up for me doing that and I felt like I made a step towards showing we can all get along.

[@shellsc3173]

Good job great reaction you grabbed that fast! you were the first reaction I saw pop up! Thanks

[@jimmytyler5278]

Doc rich speaks the truth. Tom MacDonald speaks the truth. All he’s doing is showing what his perspective is. Not everyone in every community has hatred to other communities but there’s a selection of every community that does feel that way it creates hate doesn’t do anything to help any situation

[@taxicorky]

I agree so much with all you said. I feel like most people are like me and you, either progressive conservative or moderate liberal but basically in the middle and not so far from eachother with views. But on social media the extreem right and extreem left are very loud and very active and it seems more and more people feel forced to choose either one side or the other without room for compromise

[@EllesiaBlaque]

Okay. This “Straight White Male” rhyme documents the shit I try to school my students about. Racism is real, but DAMN! U can’t blame everything in the Straight White Male. Come on! Can’t wait to teach these lyrics! Thanks Doc Rich! This new relationship is fruitful already.👍🏽

[@C0vert_F0x]

Factually, it's more about class than it is about race in the world. Actual racist acts are down significantly since the end of segregation, I'm almost positive, but we've got the media now who is complicit in sensationalizing when it DOES happen and trying to paint it so that it's much more common than it is. This is being done in order to divide the middle and lower class, and breed distrust. For instance, white cop shoots black suspect, and it's immediately driven home as systemic racism. Why? Well, because when it's programmed into the black community that white people at large are, every single day, victimizing blacks, it pisses off the black community, and elements of the black community lashes out and the white community. The lashing out is touted and broadcast by the media, so now middle and poor whites see it and THEY feel like they're being unfairly labeled by the black community, and now elements of the white community pissed off. And what do THEY do? They do the same thing...they lash out at the black community. What does all of this accomplish? Well, it breeds a divided front. It reinforces the idea that we can't trust one another, so we keep an eye on what everyone else around us is doing. But you know what we do in the mean time, while we're staring down each other? We're ignoring the banking cabals, and the rich elites, who are REALLY the ones screwing over ALL of the poor and middle class blacks, whites, hispanics, whoever. If the biggest threat to your house of cards position of power is too busy fighting each other, you never have to worry about losing your position of power. Because I promise you this, if the poor and middle class of ALL races in the US would stop fighting each other for long enough to look at what the rich are doing to us all, the elites wouldn't be DOING it for much longer.

Man, you are definitely a real one. It's a tough society and nobody's perfect but everyone is an individual.

Hate culture has to stop. Tom MacDonald is entitled to his opinions and so is every other human. But in society with social media it has become to easy to attack others on social media. Cancel culture has become the new thing. I'm so sick of media driven " trends" that are negative. How about acceptance that we are unique. If we stopped hating we can learn from having true discussion with every group. Much love on reaction. I totally agree

[@CasperJ15]

When it comes to me. I usually don't like throwing a color in front of privilege. I look at the individual with how they're living and when it comes to cases with courts or police. I'm not gonna be dumb and go "it wasn't cause of racism" some cases can be because of it. But when it comes to comparing two similar cases you gotta look at all the factors. And then you have the media who will love throwing color in front of everything to gain views and push their agenda out there. It's why it's important for everyone to think for themselves and don't always believe what they hear from the news or shows and now social media. A lot of stuff just tries to cause more division cause it's easy $ and so easy to generalize. Have a good one man and keep safe. Enjoyed the video.

[@thethree60five]

Well put man. The blame game, everyone has an opinion and thinks theirs is right because they won't listen and have empathy for others. Technology gives us a lot, but the ease of being a d_^k is something that's bubbled up because of the empowerment it gives us. Tom brings the issue of the blame game to the front. Well done and is giving you and I the chance to discuss it. Great social commentary bud. Keep it going.

I 100% agree with the slavery part. The whites around aren't the ones who had slaves. as well as the blacks around today weren't the ones enslaved and no one has been enslaved in generations either. at this point it is just a part of history that shouldn't affect us today.

[@natephill7041]

Not only are we not the same individuals, but my family never owned slaves all the way back. We immigrated here from Greece and Turkey in the 50s. For someone to say that i am responsible for slavery when none of my family ever held slaves is just BS. Not only that but during the height of slavery only about 2 to 3 percent of the population owed slaves. To say that all white people when most of our ancestors didn't own slaves is just racism. I look like someone who did something bad so i am bad. thats the point of this song.

Only hv one problem with the example provided around 7:20. So other than just seeing that they were similar crimes with similar circumstances, what was the crime and what were their conduct cards? Did both of them commit crimes previously or what? Not trying to discredit that it could a good example, but just saying that they committed similar crimes isn’t enough.

Just gonna put my opinion out there about the white privilege in court rooms.. not even really my opinion but you gotta think about each individuals prior criminal history.. if it's your first offense you're gonna get off easier and if your a habitual offender then they're gonna give you harder time.. not saying that's the case in the issue you were talking about but I know from experience of being in court a lot in my teens that they stop being so nice after you've been in there a few times lol just food for thought I just think everybody needs to stop being so quick to judge situations without knowing everything about it..

[@DanFrijoles]

Killed it! You just need to be careful about those "exact same cases" where the 2 black dudes got more time than the 2 white dudes. Technically true, but it wasn't the first offense. They took prior offenses into account. So let's say you and I are buddies who rob a bank. We are up for the same charges, but they look at my background and I've had Armed Robbery on my record already and you did not. I'm getting a SHIT ton more time than you for committing this crime.

That's a bad example. To many factors play a roll to say white privilege. Factor 1. Different judges can be naturally harder or softer on their sentencing. Factor 2. One person could have had a better lawyer. Factor 3. The attitude of the person in court can affect their sentence. There is just to many factors to say white privilege when 2 people get to different sentencing for the same crime.

Need more context on the sentencing thing.. did one guy have priors as opposed to the other?

[@terencemcgeown2358]

That case you mentioned with 1 black guy and 1 white guy doing the same crime but only the black guy done time for it. Do you know their previous convictions that would have been taken into account during sentencing.? At times it may look unfair but you never know unless you do a public records request for both of their criminal history. You can also request the court proceedings to see how each person handled themselves and to see which lawyer they had etc etc.
