@@mikrophone8499 I have no Idea why you bring you Turkey? What has that to do with the conversation? What has Spain to do with the conversation? What has China to do with the conversation?

Literally not 1 year has gone by where the American government hasn’t been involved in the atrocities Black Americans had to go through.
Black people got their reperations when they were selling each other to slave traders... Mansa Musa a black king who was the wealthiest person in history created the West African slave ports in the 1400s which is why Europeans came there to buy slaves... Also the first legal slave owner in the US was a black man

@@mspaintlive8995 yes it fucking does wtf. the one thing andrew says constantly is that he doesn't talk, he just lets the person he's interviewing talk without him saying anything.
I think the basket ball court at 29:30 was eventually built because I saw pictures of it when it was finished online. It's the Uhuru basketball court at 4368 College Ave, St Louis. When I looked into it more I discovered that most of the basketball courts are in the eastern part of the city which is historically a white neighborhood, and the western part of the city which is a historically black neighborhood doesn't have many of them in their parks. (This is known as "the Delmar divide.") So there is a rationale behind "building another basketball court" even though the city has many of them, because they aren't necessarily in convenient locations, and tend to be in wealthier neighborhoods. However, even if there are tennis courts but not basketball courts in the western half of the city, there are still Confederate monuments erected in the middle of those parks after segregation officially ended.
@@twitchtveldenkoo2916 That could be, but this was about some awkward gathering for Reparations for Africans in Africa, yet protesting in the USA, while native Black Americans have been demanding this Justice Claim for decades. At as a matter of for over a century! What these people did here was very insulting and a slap in the face of Black Americans. They spoke of rights for everybody, but for the group that matters in the USA, which is native Black Americans.
@@TheRealCompensator not arguing against that, but it's not uncommon for there to be people protesting for other issues in tangent to whatever the main issue of the given protest is.
wow this was truly amazing, the middle part where Sidam explains the futility and the racism behind their protest was amazing. i also loved how Sidam talks to the community and ask for their opinion. this was truly amazing. thank you!
This is s class Channel 5 editing. That fade in when Andwer responds to Sidam, class. Real good. But I appreciate the freedom of the style. It's great. I will look forwardward to seeing how you balance it in the future. Obviously this topic has a ton of irony so a lot of it works really well, it's not in your more serious work so... yeah man, your ethics show in the edit. It's great
Gaza man talking about unpaid labour and then giving Sidam 5 dollars, all while a homeless man laying in the background. This is why I trust Channel 5 for hard hitting news and facts.
I love how Andrew is talking about the gentrification all serious and Sidam is like “let me pull up a map of the basketball courts in St. Louis” and then laughs 😅
The way she talked about it, it sounded like she was proposing gentrifying Africa. All of it makes me want to fold into myself until I create a black hole.
This reporting was fantastic, goddamn. Taking the "good intentions" to task by examining where the funds actually go and asking the community their takes. Channel 5 doesn't fucking miss.
i had to laugh when it was revealed its a basketball court in STL. It is the most segregated city in the US, and a court isn't going to do shit to help that.
On the topic of that, Kanye West does not deserve reparations. Nor does Barrack Obama. Reparations of any kind would have to be sufficient enough to resolve inequalities that create things like crime, disparities in education success, etc.. I do like the idea of DNA tests. Lots of, people could benefit from that, and not just African Americans. Although privacy would be a big concern, especially in regards to data collecting.
agreed. i wish they would do a follow-up episode to show where the money really goes. from my research, the money goes nowhere good and is only used to enrich their leader Omali Yeshitela. Dude has a fortified compound in St Pete. its a fuckin cult and it always has been.
Given that Andrew has made his persona always being dead pan serious, even in the face of insane ramblings and behaviours, it was great to see him having a laugh with Sidam!
- "Coming from an anti-capitalist perspective, we do think that redistributing the wealth is gonna need to happen for any liberation to really happen" - "Hell yeah, can I have five dollars?"
@@KamBB-gu3pv Exactly. Reparations isn’t something neither one of these people could fulfill nor could they negotiate how much or where that money should go. Like the host said, “Your heart is in the right place…”

@@Slacker4Life3 idk if that's true but what is true is that a lot of these people are inherently white supremacist. idk if they are purposefully racist (it's hard to say for sure tbh) but they enact racism on a systemic level
When Sidam brought up how many basketball courts were already in St Louis, I cracked up. I love the newsroom vibes between them. Channel 5 just keeps getting better.
Andrew, channel 5, I been here since All Gas. I’ve been in college studying psych. You’ve helped me realized my true passion in public policy. I am “liberal”, but can’t help and see the issues with BOTH the left and right in being complicit in MANY issues (K&A,Philly, Tunnels in LV). Thank you for what you do. You inform REAL people who are informing REAL research.
"We're here to acknowledge how privileged we are as white people" "Can I have 5 dollars?" "Ahh...what I actually meant was, the white people who are richer than me are privileged..."
the cringe part was when they actually gave him money or seemed to want to. As annoying as the whole protest was and the organization itself, the one lady who basically was like no, it's not about individuals giving black people was at least right there. The person who had the most salient point was the older gentleman near the end of the video around 11 minutes. But the joke, at least imo, was that everyone else was so misguided and ignorant of the actual issues they actually tried to give sidam money. Like yo, what are you guys doing.
@@VultRoos I agree, they were all over the place with their message. I'm glad she didn't give money out of some misguided sense of white-guilt, it was just funny when she was confronted directly it ultimately came down to "it's not me, it's the richer white people" at a rally about acknowledging systemic racism and white privilege.
They could give up their homes, like many black people had to do. That would be a good reparation. This all seems a bit like how the Jews were treated in Europe after the war. “Yeah you suffered, it’s horrible. Let’s commemorate.” Said the people living in the homes of families that were partially or completely wiped out. We all know how much land was stolen from black farmers and how thriving black communities were set on fire. Last century. We could start there because those people or their children or other close ancestors are still alive. It’s not that hard.
I'm sad the top comments aren't talking about it. People mightve missed the subtleties. All of those basketball courts built over time, nothing but low wage jobs for everyone in the city. And then the gentrification begins. So much more stuff as well. almost like the people running the uhhuru March are good actors and in it for the money
This is so hilarious. Not one of these white people had a meeting and said: "Maybe we should work with black people on this? Don't you think we're going to look ridiculous?" Sidam is fantastic.
@@McFS15 did you miss the part about the basketball court in St Louis? They are collecting money in Oakland and building an unnecessary basketball court in St Louis
@@chiefblanko how can you watch this channel and be anti-BLM. This channel is against that clown shit. BLM does actual change. The point of this was to show how a group of well intentioned people are easily misguided. Some of the stuff said was really profound but they are obviously being exploited. A basketball court isn’t gonna help.
I can't wait until an in-depth report or documentary is done on Andrew in like 20 years about how an independent reporter was able to capture the zeitgeist of an uncertain era with a bizarre but honest depiction. I'll tell my grand kids I was there from the beginning

Sidam has the same weird energy as andrew, he is great
nah he kinda sucks as a reporter honestly. Andrew does a good job at keeping his opinion hidden. Sidam does not.
@@bobriquardo5317 hiding your opinion has nothing to do with being a good reporter lmao
It’s polocutty
@@mspaintlive8995 I very much would disagree with that. A reporter should be seeing what other people think and getting their opinions. If you're asking questions in a biased manner, the person won't necesarily say what they'd think in a vacuum. You can either be a reporter or a commentator, but not both at the same time.
@@mspaintlive8995 yes it fucking does wtf. the one thing andrew says constantly is that he doesn't talk, he just lets the person he's interviewing talk without him saying anything.
"They wanna give us money so, lets get some money." Had me dying. I'd love to see more of Sidam.
_"Can I have $5?"_ freaking killed me every time. Hahaha
I think the basket ball court at 29:30 was eventually built because I saw pictures of it when it was finished online. It's the Uhuru basketball court at 4368 College Ave, St Louis.
When I looked into it more I discovered that most of the basketball courts are in the eastern part of the city which is historically a white neighborhood, and the western part of the city which is a historically black neighborhood doesn't have many of them in their parks. (This is known as "the Delmar divide.") So there is a rationale behind "building another basketball court" even though the city has many of them, because they aren't necessarily in convenient locations, and tend to be in wealthier neighborhoods.
However, even if there are tennis courts but not basketball courts in the western half of the city, there are still Confederate monuments erected in the middle of those parks after segregation officially ended.
Channel 5 universe is expanding man, we on some avengers shit. The lore so far is amazing. Sidam is 10/10
I liked Sidam's debut, but I think he has room to grow and improve as an interviewer.
"Can we start asking white people for money?"
"No."
"Well I got 20$ so far."
"😶 Bye.."
I actually started choking at that shit
Irony was the Palestinian flag. What has that do with Black Americans and what Black Americans have endured in America?
@@TheRealCompensator think he was just protesting in general bro lol
@@twitchtveldenkoo2916 That could be, but this was about some awkward gathering for Reparations for Africans in Africa, yet protesting in the USA, while native Black Americans have been demanding this Justice Claim for decades. At as a matter of for over a century! What these people did here was very insulting and a slap in the face of Black Americans. They spoke of rights for everybody, but for the group that matters in the USA, which is native Black Americans.
@@TheRealCompensator not arguing against that, but it's not uncommon for there to be people protesting for other issues in tangent to whatever the main issue of the given protest is.
Sidam is hysterical. The ski mask for whatever reason makes it 5x funnier.
Bro I swear his intro had me crying😭
Think that Man is a graffiti writer. Gotta cover his face
Yeah goes by Polo Cutty. Watch the podcast with Andrew, him and Urbyn
This is like a live action south park episode 😂
“Shout to cash app, the best way to send reparations” I fucking lost it 😂😂😂
Knew I couldn't be the only one. Absolutely slayed me
Same!!
That shit had me in tears
wow this was truly amazing, the middle part where Sidam explains the futility and the racism behind their protest was amazing. i also loved how Sidam talks to the community and ask for their opinion. this was truly amazing. thank you!
'We should see how many basketball courts are in St. Louis"

This is s class Channel 5 editing. That fade in when Andwer responds to Sidam, class. Real good. But I appreciate the freedom of the style. It's great. I will look forwardward to seeing how you balance it in the future. Obviously this topic has a ton of irony so a lot of it works really well, it's not in your more serious work so... yeah man, your ethics show in the edit. It's great
The dude in the M&M hat is probably the most rational character ever on a Channel 5 News program.
He was great. He just seems pretty chill.
He was my favourite.

“Can I have 5 dollars?” Sidam is amazing
My boy almost legit finessed $5 legendary
@@ThatGuyWithAComment well he did get the 20 $

Gaza man talking about unpaid labour and then giving Sidam 5 dollars, all while a homeless man laying in the background. This is why I trust Channel 5 for hard hitting news and facts.

Had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
I mean that’s the point lol
Still so much said by both them

The way she talked about it, it sounded like she was proposing gentrifying Africa. All of it makes me want to fold into myself until I create a black hole.
Do it Coward.
@@celestialowl8865 on it

African hole
Yeah it’s on the same page as fetishizing black people
It's almost like a spiritual thing...to just stare into the gaping abyss every episode.
My faith in humanity is simultaneously shattered and reborn with every upload 😂
This reporting was fantastic, goddamn. Taking the "good intentions" to task by examining where the funds actually go and asking the community their takes. Channel 5 doesn't fucking miss.
can i have five dollars
i had to laugh when it was revealed its a basketball court in STL. It is the most segregated city in the US, and a court isn't going to do shit to help that.
big up the yute dem
On the topic of that, Kanye West does not deserve reparations. Nor does Barrack Obama. Reparations of any kind would have to be sufficient enough to resolve inequalities that create things like crime, disparities in education success, etc..
I do like the idea of DNA tests. Lots of, people could benefit from that, and not just African Americans. Although privacy would be a big concern, especially in regards to data collecting.
agreed. i wish they would do a follow-up episode to show where the money really goes. from my research, the money goes nowhere good and is only used to enrich their leader Omali Yeshitela. Dude has a fortified compound in St Pete. its a fuckin cult and it always has been.
Given that Andrew has made his persona always being dead pan serious, even in the face of insane ramblings and behaviours, it was great to see him having a laugh with Sidam!
He's good at mirroring to fit in and relax the atmosphere
- "Coming from an anti-capitalist perspective, we do think that redistributing the wealth is gonna need to happen for any liberation to really happen"
- "Hell yeah, can I have five dollars?"
-"no, im broke too" basically lmao
@Eevee* no... how can u redistribute wealth u don’t have
@@KamBB-gu3pv Exactly. Reparations isn’t something neither one of these people could fulfill nor could they negotiate how much or where that money should go.
Like the host said, “Your heart is in the right place…”
@Eevee* yeah im pretty sure he is a hypocrite for not giving five dollars when he is asking for the people in power and the ruling class to change the system and redistribute the wealth systemically
@Eevee* everyone is very generous and in favor of handing out other people's money lol. Until they get money someday.
"You got change?"
"No."
"Sorry. Next time."
"Yeah. Next time."
Sidam with that cutting, faint praise:
"I think your heart's in the right place."
i like his "congratulations" right at the end upon hearing that it was that ladies first time volunteering
heart's in its place but the brain has left the reservation
"Bless your heart."
"Shout out to Cash App, the best way to send reparations" OMFG
They got the sponsorship just in time for this march and to say that line. LMFAO
That killed me.
That shit killed me 😭😭😭
Sidam's great, this idea of covering multiple concurrent events is really good.
...and it's kinda a clapback to the rightwingers on the other video going "you guys only show footage of crazy right wing people to make us look bad but don't go to lefty rallies showing their crazies"
@@_cloudface_ there is just less crazy leftist groups in general. I don't think Andrew cares if he appeals to a right wing audience.
@@maxpelaez4955 idk man, I think there might be a lot of fringe groups out there, it doesn't take much people to make an event such as this one and only a few good wackos can make a video. Although I wish they could go back to non-political weirdos as well, like the UFO people, or furries
@@PASTRAMIKick there is objectively more right wingers who this shit compared to libs. But right wingers get boring because they do the same shit at the end of the day.
St. Louis definitely needs more basketball courts, especially in Forest Park
"Whats your favourite part of Africa?" "Well in west Africa they make jokes about eating beans and being slaves and I just love that!"
One of the strangest comments i've ever heard.
most of these white people fighting for reparations are the biggest racists and want to look special being cool with black people. its cringe as hell
yeah I really didn't get the joke it must have been painful for her or maybe just her brain is fried
@@Slacker4Life3 idk if that's true but what is true is that a lot of these people are inherently white supremacist. idk if they are purposefully racist (it's hard to say for sure tbh) but they enact racism on a systemic level
@@Slacker4Life3 I think it just came out wrong, she didn't know how to describe it better and her example wasnt the best.
@@Slacker4Life3 are you referring to the "white savior" thing?
"Cashapp: the best way to pay reparations." I died.
Fr tho, the vibe Sidam brings is golden for Channel 5!
cashapp lets nazis use their app
@@maintsmain not the direction I was going, but good to know ig lol.
When Sidam brought up how many basketball courts were already in St Louis, I cracked up. I love the newsroom vibes between them. Channel 5 just keeps getting better.
music at 4:00 is "held breeze" by Mount Shrine. highly recommend his other works. was so surprised to hear it, awesome choice of music!
I knew i recognised it! He’s a real genius in the drone and ambient sphere. Ghosts on Broken Pavement is my go to for study
Its like channel 5 is single handly trying to shift this from being the worst timeline to a great timeline. Please keep growing
On some Stein's gate shit
Reach high enough and you get burned by the sun (The .1%).
Its Still the worst timeline, but maybe it can also be the funniest.

Andrew, channel 5, I been here since All Gas. I’ve been in college studying psych. You’ve helped me realized my true passion in public policy. I am “liberal”, but can’t help and see the issues with BOTH the left and right in being complicit in MANY issues (K&A,Philly, Tunnels in LV). Thank you for what you do. You inform REAL people who are informing REAL research.
We need more of Sidam
That’s @polo cutty
Agreed, Sidam is a playa
@@Hellseventeen I thought his voice was familiar lol
Sidam asking for $5 each time, and putting them on the spot, had me on 100% secondhand embarrassment 😆 amazing video though
"We're here to acknowledge how privileged we are as white people"
"Can I have 5 dollars?"
"Ahh...what I actually meant was, the white people who are richer than me are privileged..."
the cringe part was when they actually gave him money or seemed to want to. As annoying as the whole protest was and the organization itself, the one lady who basically was like no, it's not about individuals giving black people was at least right there. The person who had the most salient point was the older gentleman near the end of the video around 11 minutes. But the joke, at least imo, was that everyone else was so misguided and ignorant of the actual issues they actually tried to give sidam money. Like yo, what are you guys doing.
@@VultRoos I agree, they were all over the place with their message.
I'm glad she didn't give money out of some misguided sense of white-guilt, it was just funny when she was confronted directly it ultimately came down to "it's not me, it's the richer white people" at a rally about acknowledging systemic racism and white privilege.
Most of them thought it was funny or even tried to do it, honestly a pretty good look imo
@@VultRoos There shouldn't even be a situation where someone has this kind of set up. This protest is useless.
I love Sidam, his energy is great
Pay him $5 then.
@@_JC_21 I would but I dont think he has change.

"Uhuru! Give yourself a round of applause!"
bruh this whole event is giving yourself a round of applause
This!!!! lol
Bang on!
If all of those people went to work for a few hours instead of protesting they could then give that money to Black people.
They could give up their homes, like many black people had to do. That would be a good reparation.
This all seems a bit like how the Jews were treated in Europe after the war.
“Yeah you suffered, it’s horrible. Let’s commemorate.” Said the people living in the homes of families that were partially or completely wiped out.
We all know how much land was stolen from black farmers and how thriving black communities were set on fire. Last century. We could start there because those people or their children or other close ancestors are still alive. It’s not that hard.
Their giving black people a round of applause, are you illiterate?
Sidam was in his bag both literally and metaphorically this episode
Really hope Sidam isn't a one-time cohost he is hilarious and seems to have the same ability to get people to talk that Andrew does
yeah id love to see him as a regular investigator reporter and interviewer
he gives me lowkey hannibal vibes
They said on the Patreon he's part the crew so they can do more

I lost it when he showed the google maps

@@charlieritchie8957 omg same i was almost crying laughing when he was saying it was kinda racist the amount they had 😂
I love how they’re keeping it funny while also covering some dark stuff
I'm sad the top comments aren't talking about it. People mightve missed the subtleties. All of those basketball courts built over time, nothing but low wage jobs for everyone in the city. And then the gentrification begins. So much more stuff as well. almost like the people running the uhhuru March are good actors and in it for the money
Yes white people acting goofy and larping activist is dark stuff lol
He did a great job, glad the Channel 5 team is growing.
He did excellent indeed, I was thinking the same :)
This is so hilarious. Not one of these white people had a meeting and said: "Maybe we should work with black people on this? Don't you think we're going to look ridiculous?" Sidam is fantastic.
I mean they're working with a Black Socialist group so the assumption might be that funds are going towards projects that would help that community?
@@McFS15 did you miss the part about the basketball court in St Louis? They are collecting money in Oakland and building an unnecessary basketball court in St Louis
@@chiefblanko Honestly, fuck the people that run the organization at the top, but the movement is actually genuine, that's undeniable.
@@chiefblanko how can you watch this channel and be anti-BLM. This channel is against that clown shit. BLM does actual change. The point of this was to show how a group of well intentioned people are easily misguided. Some of the stuff said was really profound but they are obviously being exploited. A basketball court isn’t gonna help.
@@chiefblanko no, it’s the African People’s Socialist Party
Sidam losing his shit at that map of St Louis was what really got me, he's an absolute gem and i hope we get to see more of him

yo this is really cool how you’re expanding your content. not just more variety of content but more depth too.
I can't wait until an in-depth report or documentary is done on Andrew in like 20 years about how an independent reporter was able to capture the zeitgeist of an uncertain era with a bizarre but honest depiction. I'll tell my grand kids I was there from the beginning
Straight up
Yeah and black people
These are real conversations! Even as cringey as they get, he's doing a good thing

I think adding more strong hosts like sidam in addition to Andrew will really fortify Channel 5 as a news platform rather than just one (very talented) dude. Really happy to see how y'all are growing in the new C5 era
