Part 1: • Tommy Davidson was Lef...
--------
In this clip, Tommy Davidson discussed how his white mother was the person who gave him the fundamentals about his position as a black person, specifically a black man, in the United States. He detailed how his mother was really straightforward with him about how the world operates on the basis of his race.

I am a black man (not mixed) that was raised by a white mother. This interview really hit home with me!!! My Mom taught me very similar lessons about life and this foolish world we live in… I love you Mom ❤️Thank you!!!🙏🏾
WE LOVE YOUR MOM TOO...TO ALL THE MOMS THAT GIVE IT TO US REAL WHETHER BLACK OR WHITE...WE LOVE YA
i can only sympathize with you bro, i can't imagine what that must've been like. being born in Africa i never even knew what it was to be black until i moved to north America.
He means he never knew abt racism, & most foreign people think that’s what we mean when we say “black experience”. Everything in Africa is black lol just don’t gotta deal with racism like Americans do
@@hollywoodkapo1974 Cause it's a status here they don't like the indigenous people .
👎🏽
The Way he broke down how his mom explained to him the three ways how to make a living in this world is mind blowing.
Q
Well said Hassi
R.I.P to Ms. DAVIDSON she took in a young black child claimed him loved him and taught him the world. Absolutely beautiful smh need more people like her in life too much division and hate
They are out there. Unfortunately, there's more than a few people who hate the idea of mixed-race adoptions. To that I say, love has no color, and where would you be without love?
@@dingfeldersmurfalot4560 Right want to see real racism visit Maryland & West VA. It's crazy. It's horrible here.
World would be such a better world with women like her Starts with the Mothers
Beautiful lady r.i.p
@@TrVlogs82 what part part Maryland u gota be way out near Delaware or something
SALUTE & RIP to his mom... She had more wisdom than alot of men & women in this world, both then & now 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Oh shut up it’s not rocket science
Exactly!
In my eyes she was his teacher ! She did exactly what she was sent here to do “Purpose” and she TAUGHT WELL !!!!
Facts. I got emotional hearing him talk about his mother.
Tommy breaking out into a mini concert in the middle of a interview is a black trait to his heart lol.
I wanna be downnyownyownnnnnnn 😂😂😂😂😂
He just does what he’s feeling at the moment. Most people don’t know how to live like that, they’re too worried about what people think. Tommy’s good people
Factttttsssss
His mother was doing her job … Well done madam.
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL, THOUGHTFUL AND EDUCATIONAL INTERVIEWS ON VLAD TV...I LOVE VLAD TV BECAUSE OF THE MANY SURPRISES THAT COMES WITH AND TO THIS PLATFORM
absolutely. takes someone real humble to say what hes saying.
Mannnn!!! I never knew this about Tommy Davidson and he's one of the greats and super underrated. Moms was droppin' knowledge tho!!!
i watched it because of your comment. thank you.
YEAH TRUE YEAH IT IS
It's not one of.....it's the only. Most of his interviews bleed of ignorance from every other race besides his own.
😂😂 The impromptu Brandy singing "I wanna be down" Tommy Davidson is legendary
That funny part got swept under the rug 🤣🤣🤣
Cringe
@@Solo-gh2gy It was cringe a little bit but was funny at the same time lol.
You ever see him do Dionne Warwick?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
His mama was the TRUTH‼️
His biological dumping him and his foster mom taking him in was what saved his life.
@Passionate Lao I agree. The Lord works in mysterious ways. He uses things that look crazy and makes treasures out of them
@Passionate Lao Oh please his real mom didnt know jackshit about how he would end up, that piece of shit person that birthed him left him in a Fuckin TRASH CAN. Don’t tell me she KNEW god would protect him. SHE THREW HIM AWAY! He got lucky to be blessed to gain such a strong new mother
I can relate. I was abandoned at 2 yrs old at a bus station in Brazil where I was born. The local police brought me to an orphanage and I stayed there until I was 7 when I was adopted by white Americans and brought to America. I experienced some of the same things Tommy Davidson did in regards to my own race and learning what it is to be a person of color in America. I did all the dumb shit that "they" make you think you supposed to do as a black man. Wasted yrs of my life in institutions, just to realize at 28 that what I was doing was wasting my life living a lie. I am now 42 and I haven't been back. I have a family, cars, a wife and a job..peace of mind
Feels good man
Congratulations.
Much respect to you brother. Proud of you.
👏& standing ovation to you-so glad you got passed the stigma & succeeded your own way-much respect
Keep doing your thing, King.
🥳💪🏾✌️
Tommy Davidson is the REALEST💯
Worked on The Proud Family with him back in early 2000’s and he was always genuine, honest, upfront, fun and funny, and ALWAYS made work the most enjoyable experience (for everyone; I was just a PA at that time - he used to call me ‘Baby Boy’ bc I was fresh to the industry 🤣). NOTHING BUT RESPECT BROTHER TOMMY💯🙏🏾
This whole Tommy Davidson interview is most definitely top 5 Vlad interviews. He been dropping gems in every clip. I got the highest level of respect for this man.
MAN!!!!! If Tommy doesn’t drop a gem he makes u drop a tear wit all the trauma he’s been through in life, this brother was blessed wit the heart & will of a lion
Shout out to her for being a REAL ONE ! Letting him know what’s real and understanding his circumstances. I love to see it ! Rest In Peace !
Many times I have heard this man speak and he has delivered some profound messages. This is one and I learned first, talk to your children about life truthfully secondly, never be late. From his mom to us.
When he said being not appreciated or valued by blacks. I felt that. Thats hard
Yeah, a people who are historically unappreciated and devalued.
I can relate, growing up not quite hood enough to hang with the cool black kids because of the values my parents instilled in me, till this day I still kinda catch that flack because I stay away from the bullshit and don't even acknowledge the hood boogers n cats automatically assume im uppity, nah im just aware thats all
@@dl2310
Mostly by our own who put us in chains and still enslaves each other in Africa, today
My mother always told me growing up that as a Black person, you have to work at least TWICE more than your white counterpart. Man, did this segment hit me in that place! 🙏🏾
We have it over achieve in everything I learned that through being a fan of and participating in boxing basketball and football it’s even deeper now in days because they even give our women benefits and sympathy systematically to further disadvantage us.
To be fair, anyone on this earth has to work twice as hard as the person next to them in order to be successful.
@@kinkane5566 Not true
@@edwardnewsome7200 So successful people are just magically successful without working harder than the others?
@@kinkane5566 wrooonnnggg. Although that sounds all good and all but the reality is that you and others (who usually aren’t of color)think tat life is such an equal opportunity for all. I’m a manager at a very popular retailer and the only black person in the entire store. My fellow managers who are not of color literally get away with damn near anything. One of them alters her time punches bc she’s always chilling in the the beak room and bull shiting. On the flip side I get heat for staying 2-3 min in the break room after a 10 min or 30 min break. We both have the same exact job and the General manager (white guy) who turns a blind eye to her altered time punches but is up my ass bc I wanted to rest alil longer than usual after doing my job and covering hers. But yes “we all have to work twice as hard” RIIIIIGHT🙄
Very powerful message. Shoutout to his mom!
Those last points his mother gave was as honest of a message as I’ve ever heard relayed from a white person to another black man in my life R.I.P. to her she was a real one
And rightfully so since she was his mom. But yeah
His mother is an excellent parent to be honest and open with her son. Tommy received priceless insight that few rarely see.
The way this man can takeover a conversation is incredible!!!
Because He Knows What He Wants To Say...
This is the first bit I've seen of a VLAD interview where he didn't interject his annoying opinions. That's how you know this was a great interview 👏🏽
His mom sounds like she was a awesome person ❤️❤️❤️
an*
I just saw this episode did he ever see or find his real mom
@@Baja2424 Yes later on in life I know he met his siblings. I'm not sure if he ever met his biological mother.
@@Handsoffblackgirls oh ok wow he didn’t say he saw here in 1 of these episodes or I guess it’s coming up later
@@HandsoffblackgirlsYes He Met His Biological Mother When He Was 34
This low key of one best interviews that I watched that I didn't know I needed to watch, from beginning when he broke down he didn't view race from living on the farm. I've been going back watching his early stand ups
Truth! Precisely how it went for me too.
Why can't it be high key?
@@vc6596 cuz it could never..
Ever ever..
Ever ever ever..
Be high key
@@stresmaldonado why can't it never ever ever be?
because you gota keep it lowkey OG
Maan, that was Something. His Truth is soothing. "All Jokes aside" I'm lost for words describing how much depth this conversation had. Thanks Tommy
Wow….what a story and the lessons we all learn
This video carries an incredibly powerful message!
What a woman his (white) mother was!! I can relate to life lessons like that cuz my father gave them to me and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be the stand up black MAN that I am.
@it's free sauce don't be like Charles Manson or Jeffrey Dahmer
You're a lucky man indeed. We all have to remind ourselves to be thankful for things like that. And, when we can, to understand that people with no or poor role models have so little to go on in trying to simply invent themselves from no knowledge or understanding or familiarity with something sensible and good.
Amen
@it's free saucedo you know how to read it's Johnson Sir but it's a lot more white serial Killers though lol
@it's free sauce and white School shooters but hey what I know lol

2022 & we still can't be late.
Much Lobe Tommy's Mother❤
Wish I had a mom like that to explain the realities of life at a young age.
Tommy should do a biopic on the Lifetime channel
Damn his mom is awesome. Perfect example of what this world needs more of. Just a stand up woman.
That definitely hit home...Thank you Tommy for sharing that with us all.
Man, his mother sounds like a BRILLIANT woman, a TRUE GIFT ! 💯
Vlad you got you a winner right here this is a very powerful interview
The GOP will ban this video soon.
Who’s gop?
This one needs to go VIRAL… Seriously.. His mom told it just like it was… PERIODT… she knew what what she was doing when it came to raising him and she kept it 💯 too.. Goes to show you.. White Americans see the injustice but (some not ALL) will not stand up and speak out… Bravo Mrs. Davidson.. BRAVO!!!
“Understand who i am and do the best I can with the time” I feel that
I am an African-American coming up on the year of losing my mother and the ancestors gaining her. Brother Davidson described what real mothers are here. My mother was one and Black; his, just happen to be White. I was hoping she was still with us as I would love to have met her. Hopefully, my mother gets that opportunity.
Rest in Perfect Peace & Power ladies, soldiers.
You are American not African. Africa is a continent.
@@jarlymorgan America is a continent too, actually two: North America & South America. Maybe you missed that in Geography class. BTW, don't tell me how to define myself, first learn your continents AND THEN STILL stay out of my business.
@@davidmalik9821 TELLEM “NIIIIIIIKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAHHH” -pinky voice
First let me say sorry for your loss. My mother went home 20 years ago and I still miss her. Secondly I chose to believe all true mothers and fathers greet each other when they return home.
@@letstalk1050 Thanks. Sorry for your loss as well. I agree with you. They are together showing pics of their sons and daughters, grandchildren fosho. LOL.
WHOA!!!! Now THIS is a mic drop moment 💯✊🏾
Got to be one of the best interviews ever; deep and informative...
This reminds me of Skip Bayless sharing how he was raised by a black woman. Love conquers all ❤️
She was his nanny
I never comment or almost never. This is the best interview I’ve ever seen in your channel. I think so far. Very powerful. Very educational ,thoughtful and loving.
And props to his mother for keeping it REAL & preparing him for the real world 🌎💯👏🏾
Man God works in mysterious ways it was a blessing and it was meant for him to be raised by that woman, no one better could have found him and given him as much knowledge and perspective about life, this probably is my favorite Vlad TV interview
Tommy you need to learn black history not from a white woman
This is so deep💯🙏🏼🔔💭
This may be my favorite Vlad interview. Shout out to Tommy for sharing this moment.
Jim Carey will tell you quick he loves his black brothas. He said Keenen Waynes was the only 1 who would give him a chance. An loves Tommy singing to Brandy's I wanna be down😅
❣️ learning , doing the best I can.
Thank you for sharing this.
Shout out to TommyDavidson and this interview but he adjusted his glasses every time he dropped a gem 💎 lol 😂
His mother sounded like a powerful thought provoking person
SO POWERFUL...AND TRUTHFUL
Tommy Davidson one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real
Powerful!!! Love this interview! Powerful message
Message to the black man..."you can't be late" 😉
The Wire: Get there early.
“He can’t be late”…that is so true and so sad that his mother had to explain it like that…so moving.
Thank you for this video. The wisdom of it hit me hard.
Please get Tommy Davidson on here more often! He gives great interviews. 💪🏾
This is the exact video I needed to hear🕉🙏🙌
I’m downloading this
Keepin this in the cut
For times of rage
It was a black principal...wow that one caught me off guard
Plenty of Sheriff Dave Clarks and Uncle Ruckuses out here in the educational system.
This interview hit my hard and deep. "You can't be late but your sister can." That phrase says alot. She was a very smart woman and Tommy was lucky to have her as his mom. God blessed her with wisdom and God blessed Tommy with the insight to listen and apply that wisdom in his life. Thank you Tommy for sharing this life changing wisdom with us. May God continue to bless you in your life. 🙏🏾👍🏾🤗😊
Love you Tommy Davidson and appreciate you! Most humble famous person I've ever met. He wasn't a jerk like so many other countless celebrities that feel they are no longer classified as normal human being. This guy is genuine and a breath of fresh air as well as funny. Your mom raised a wonderful man. I appreciate all you've done
"You're the main person that needs to take a look at the situation and make the right decision."
I think this is one of the best interviews of Vlad TV.
I was wondering about Tommy, happy to hear from him and how he does his best no matter what. Truly a Meek Man. And one who words hold weight positively.
What a powerful message and the fact it came from a white women she understood the struggles
They all understand it, their hatred just doesn't allow them to care ..
We dont all hate you 🤣 you do have friends and allys 💪I used to get annoyed when I saw statements that may insinuate that all white people are racist for the selfish reason of "hey im not a racist" but I realised thats not the way to go about it because its bigger then me, we need to stop letting racists think that they have the support of every other white person, they read the comments saying that they have this massive support group and they start getting bolder. The truth is they are played out and alone. Single them out. I actually feel a very small bit of pity for racists, how ignorant and small minded they have to be to hate someone for the colour of their skin or the language they speak. What really pisses me off tho is now that they arent as comfortable being open about it in fear of losing their jobs, they hide behind the safety of a youtube/instagram accounts and the shit they feel comfortable saying iirks me that bit more because the dont have the nuts to stand by what they are saying in real life with their identity attached to it. Just a bunch of sad little trolls.
It wasn't the struggle she understood, it was the effect. In the totallity she wouldn't be able to understand it because it's an experience she's never lived. All she can see is the effect.
I don't think all of you are filled with hate, I'm only talking about those that are..
@@biketron Some of them may not have an understanding of that particular struggle, but they know it's something they wouldn't want to experience to have a better understanding of it. It's really as simple as if I don't want it to happen tome, I'm not going to do it to anyone else.. If someone did something that hurt me, or made feel bad, I wouldn't do it to anyone else because if it hurt me it would probably hurt them too.
Ive gained a new perspective and respect for this dude. Glad I ran into this.
We all need to hear this! 🙏
Tommy Davidson been forever GOAT’ed to me ever since “Strictly Business”. One of my favorite movies of all time. Gems gems gems in this interview.
Damn this touched the hell of me!!!
This interview is awesome. Touching too. I won’t be late no more.
This is interview was amazing, I never was a big fan of this dude but I am intrigued by his character and look at him differently now when I see him in his movies and etc
Tommy Davidson is one of the realest men ever 🎁🙏🏾💯💯
I had no idea Tommy was this deep, he's speaking facts 💯💯💯
Tommy’s mom is an angel. It really warmed my heart to hear about her beautiful soul. I’m happy he shared these stories about his beautiful mother.
His Mother knew the score.
Sometimes it’s not the messenger but the message
This brought tears to my eyes❤️💯
He was blessed to have a mom like that
Man interviews like this are always overlooked.!!
One of the best interviews I ever seen !
His mom was what we’re supposed to be before we leave this earth. Give your positive energy (knowledge) to the next generation. 💙💙
damn....deep interview....1 of the best bro 😢
This is a conscious conversation about race issues. I pray that alot of our youths hear this conversation. It's so easy to gangbang but it's hard following your dreams in life. Real Rough & Tough people are true G's who follow thier dreams....
It’s easy to gangbang because the power’s that be allow it only in the urban areas, it is not tolerated outside of those areas. However we as a people need to wise up and see the wool over our eyes that is allowing us to destroy each other
I never knew how he was raised but I've always thought he was very talented.He should be way bigger as a movie star and comedian imo.His Mom sounds like a great person so respect to that woman.
I met tommy davidson backstage at a stevie wonder concert spoke to him for a little… humble dude.. never imagined what his life story looked like… its crazy watching this interview!
He's a successful black man because of his white mother. Let that sink in
I mean....thats reaching but aight.
@@TheDejat3 just facts
Did his mother teach him jokes?
This makes you negate all the successful Black men raised by Black women/Men? lol your mind is distorted
@@yahya4370 has nothing to do with black women, open your mind and stop being simple minded.
Great interview, great story!
You are a beautifull human being Tommy Davidson
Bravo brah! Enjoyed it
We need a Netflix documentary about Tommy Davidson's mom.
How bout Tommy first
Nah the white savior of the abandoned black boy is so cliche and far fetched lol. Let there be a movie of a black family taking a abandoned white kid, whitey wouldn’t like that.
This was deep, his mom gave him the essentials of life.. I needed to hear this
You was Blessed Tommy 🙌 acting school met Jim,Jada,and the crew
Need this full interview
Powerful and insightful.💯
Powerful information
I’m learning some of these comedians, have gone through a lot trauma. They crack jokes and smile to hide the tears!!
Oh yea. Lots of comedians turn to humor to cope with the awful things that happen to them. It's like a form of therapy.
His improv is impeccable! Thank you for your contribution to the culture Tommy.
Wow!😳 That's so deep in thought.
