I’m not racist ✋🏾😂😂😂
LawTWINZ we are all humans 👲🏻👲🏼👲🏽👲🏾👲🏿
LawTWINZ yoo whatsup!
I see that you guys removed my comment, did i offend anybody? If i did, sorry but what was the reason behind it? Not trying to start beef or something, just looking for your point of view on it
Alright. So u say that. Then how about you listen to the song again and try and see it from a white guy's perspective: Just a normal college kid man. just scraped by to get into a community college. hes workin his ass off to study and try and get a job to provide for himself man. He just living his life. meanwhile all he sees from the black culture is all these young rappers talking about sellin drugs and killin dudes. How u think he feel about that. they makin millions off of that while hes working his ass off for months and barely scrapin enough money to eat and go to school. how u think he feels when he sees these black guys leaving their sons and wives or baby mommas. can u see the issue bruh? it aint 100% the system. let me show u.. a black guy and woman have a baby right. the black guy then leaves. first issue comes with money. That mother has to try and pay for that child to live. so what she has to do is either run 3 jobs or become a prostitute cuz the world we live in means that makes more money (which is fucked up major). so that child loks at all the guys going in and out of the house and he's thinking that that is OK. so he starts to wanna be like that. He listens to music about hoes and wants to be like that cuz its all he knows so he goes out and fucks 20 girls and gets one pregnant. he thinks "omg no i dont want that responsibility!" so he leaves the woman. (BAM REPEAT). 2nd issue. not having a father hurts. Im white alright, my father cheated and left my mom when i was 8. that shit hurts dude. u dont got the man of the house no more. u dont have someone to show u wat is right and wat is wrong. so he dont have that father hes mind gonna be the same as the man that got his mother pregnant. can u see wat im . saying bruh? the whole problem isnt just with they "system". while it does exist i agree and its fucked up. It is not impossible to get out of there. Nothing. Nothing can't stop hard work.
And also u guys say u arent racist and u agree with this song but u disagree with everything the white guy is saying... U MISSED THE WHOLE POINT OF THE SONG! he is trying to bring us together. U wanna know how we do that. by sitting down at that table and talking about it. Listen to the song again bruh.
John Marsal I feel like you trolling,thats what were sayin😂
good to see YALL explaining away what YALL do............And then blame others for.
Yea.. YALL be the wrong word. The majority of YALL are good people. Its a SHAME YALL don't stand up and smack down those fools who are running around causing problems. Nope. Lot easier to blame the rest of the country.
Still don’t understand how Joyner didn’t win a Grammy for this song...
Alexx Brown that’s what Eminem said too
Bro is bec this song makes sense n teaching us to ✌
Because it tells the truth and I noticed America doesn’t like talking about there history and I’m pretty sure if this went viral history will come out 💀
You have to Notice all the dislikes on that video. There will always be people on both sides that just don't want to accept the idea of a equal conversation sadly.
In my opinion it's because the big companies that put huge sums of money into politicians want us to be divided and hateful towards each other, it makes us easier to control so they don't like it when people can see past race, gender, sexual orientation etc.
They just want us all to be full of hate when the real thing is that we all just need to learn how to loe and respect one another.
Controversy causes profits in this day and age.
Joyner is the only person that can rap battle him self
OhSnap Kendrick on “u” battle himself. But you funny 😂
Didn't Biggie do that on Gimme the Loot? lol
Eminem can
Just about, let's not forget about MF DOOM
Did anyone else notice the face he did at the last second of the video?!😂💀
"We should be arguing about opinions, not skin color"
Love it
Yeah well it's pretty basic knowledge
@@user-ri2yj3jv3p too bad a lot of racist people don't get it.
We shouldn't be fighting opinions either
Or perspectives
I just smoked with an 80 yr old black man and I'm white. We love each other. If he was younger I'd hit on him. He's hilarious
The way y’all reacted to this was very smart.. not getting too caught up in one side.. good stuff
Keeping it 100 really
yes yes yes
Why do I feel like y'all white folks love that part like you trying say it's not meant to choose side even tho you choose what the dude with red cap says. y'all just racist black man said everything correct in the projects you get a job they try to kick you out seems like y'all don't wanna understand
@@lowk2364 none of us said that, if you want to argue, make valid points first
@@flarethefolf78 yes
This comment section is unbelievably calm and respectful for a video like this. Gotta say, I love that.
This is the first time i could drop my guard in a comment section cuz its so calm i love it
I always see comments saying calm down and shit but when i look i cant find any bad comments, but when I see a comment like your I see bad comments wtf?
Different scenarios G
I'm white, and I dont give a fuck about black, people, I dont give a fuck about asian people, I dont give a fuck about white people, I'm just living my own life. I have my own problems to deal. JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE WE HAVE OUR OWN PROBLEMS TO DEAL.
Try the replies
i dont think they understand joyner lucas is blaming both races for racism
Miderlens W yes true
Your right
They really don't, typical black American man
Hence all the stereotypes
Paul Oliver you're not racist either obviously
it is sad how many people missed the meaning of this song. The second part was not a rebuttal of the first part. The second part was a continuation of what was wrong in the first part.
So only the first part was wrong? I think YOU missed the meaning of the song
@@Drunkengoose1993 please look up the word continuation in a dictionary
They said he was rebuttaling but they didn't say it was a FULL rebuttal. They got the message bro and obviously it's ok to be a little biased to ur own race and people forget that sometimes. It still hasn't been 100 years where black people got their full rights. Some people even forget not all white people were bad and racist and many actually were big pieces in starting the movement to earn their rights. It's about for now hearing each other which lawtwins did, the fixing doesn't have to happen right away because that could possibly just ruin it with stressful tensions. U prolly know all that already but i said it encase u didn't
@@Drunkengoose1993 Dude read the comment again.
Not sure what you mean when you say "of what was wrong in the first part". Can you explain
When you said “Stop sayin’ “Y’all” is when I liked this video. Treat people as individuals and the world will be a better place. The individual is the ultimate minority. Everyone is different from everyone else.
David Leatherwood exactly
David Leatherwood this comment needs more recognition
It’s also healthier for the whole country.
Right now USA is divided, everything relies on individual opinions, even things that shouldn’t. It’s a problem.
USA should reconnect its people, you should respect each others and be less judgmentals (it goes both for left and right).
This song is a pure gem. The only issue I have with it is the whole Obama thing. If Obama was re-elected 3 times, it’s because the majority voted for him.
And if Trump has been elected, it’s because the majority has voted for him.
It has nothing to do with individuals and people shouldn’t get impacted by these votes (both left and right).
It’s also important to add that a government governs. The social issues are handled by the people. And it’s time for USA to acknowledge it instead of blaming everyone for these issues.
Blah Blah
Yeah but that’s the point though they both use stereotypes and clichés before realizing they’re both wrong and to make amend.
Racism’s is less about power and more the human need to group things and split them apart to try to understand them better but the problem comes when you split your own; race the human race
The real reason this piece is a work of art is because it was written by the same person but people react because different races are saying it. It proves that people pay attention to race before words.
Kinetic Fridge its cause some people were just born not very smart(they weren't born like that, i know im just mad)
Faxts💯💯
It’s also funny and interesting to see how people can completely disregard one side of the other while nodding in approval of the other. It shows how much more we as a race must come together. I guess as an asian that this white v black thing is easier to see both sides of, but Asians gotta address this more underlying racism within the us that seems to just be glossed over and accepted by everyone.
People mostly seem to react to a white man saying specific words instead of the message. If the first half would have been by a black man it would have been seen as reaching out to the community, now the majority of blacks are just offended without realizing that all of it is by black man and has a powerful message.
Kinetic Fridge exactly! This song is 1000% on point, & the only ppl who disagree with it are racists, & that is 100% fact!
People in this country who pretend the injustice minorities face are make believe, are willfully ignorant, they are the ones living in make believe. There is systemic racism in America & until we fix the problem at it's core, ( Washington, police training, & education.) It will not stop, & I honestly believe they ( D.C.) do it on purpose just so we bicker with each other, instead of focusing on the real problem which is Washington & the digusting policy that comes outta there.
The point of the song isn’t to agree with either one of them but to show you the extreme of both sides and how they are both wrong in some ways and also right in some ways.
And I also think it shows how you should handle that topic.
Talk about your opinion but then lean back and listen to what the other one has to say. Even if you don't agree at the end you should know where the other one is coming from. You can have different opinions but still treat each other with respect.
I agree that is what the video was going for
although I think the video showed the white side as more aggressive though.
Then again I'm neither black or white and don't even live in the US so I don't know how it is.
Their not agreeing there talking about it
@@suchangburagohain I honestly thought that the black side was more aggressive. In lyrics, yes, the white was more aggressive. But physically, That guy fucking flipped a table over.
@@pickyourpoison3658 true. Physically the black side was aggressive but the way the white guy said things his voice sounded more aggressive and also the things that were being said were more aggressive.
"That's what we gotta stop doing as a society, use that word y'all"
That made me hit the like button 🙌
Proceeds to say: “My Mexican people, I love y’all” (Rita is that you?)
But y'all don't want to hear those facts
"too far" is what people say when they're uncomfortable with something. conversation need to go "too far" sometimes, it's important. we have to stop dodging uncomfortable conversations just for the sake of not wanting to.
They said "too far" about a word used in a really specific manner. It was appropriately used here.
they said it was too far because it made them uncomfortable clearly. the hard "r" n word always makes people uncomfortable. joyner used it strategically because it makes people uncomfortable. so no, it wasn't too far. joyner was making a point.
@@blissive6408 Joyner is black. He wasn't telling white people to say that shit. You got shit twisted.
Nocona Roubideaux joyners half black half white
@@Banzai84 Kind of irrelevant but okay.
If someone took a side on this song, they didn't understand it... Just saying 😉
I could actually understand it and still pick a side from what was said it's called a fucking opinion
loony shots both sides are part right part racist.. thats the message
no the point of the song is to agree to disagree and become united. of course people can still have opinions thats called being human. its about understanding the other side.
@@matt92099 fuck outta here, that's some racist bs. You saying there isn't white ppl who dress like shit?
@@moon-pw1bi yea that's true but some people will always be ignorant
"Hold up. They are really sitting at a table, arguing about skin color. Just think about that." The way he put that really put the absurdity of it into focus.
I think it was an argument over culture but so much of this culture difference gets shadowed by race media. Self segregation, no one wanting to be friends anymore because media diving us. Like they said shit echos generations down, good or bad.
@@serpentinewolf7085 Yes, it’s not the skin color today if we’re talking fundamentally.
Shout out from the mexicans, we love y’all too 😂
That's because Mexican don't cause problems
@@snip2615 That's hilariously untrue. Everyone causes problems. Mexicans are by no means excluded.
@@EmilM-pb2hn I guess, but we haven't done nothing major like "other race"
But like I said doesn't matter, just the fact that majority of stereotype given to races are true
@@snip2615 Did you not listen to what they had to say at all?? About the "y'all" thing?? Stop using a broad label to describe the actions of all. "Mexican's don't cause problems" is just putting everyone into that box of good or evil again. On the same note as yours I could talk about how fucked up Mexico is and the shit the cartels do to people (and the same for my family in Columbia).The prevalence of torture in Mexico is ridiculous (by both mexican security and civilians) and if you can't acknowledge that I highly doubt you are Mexican (or at least maybe you're Mexican-American). I've had TOO MANY friends whose parents fled from Mexico due to threats of torture/ cartel issues.
Not nice to be shoved into a stereotypical box is it man? No one group is a saint and no one group is a sinner. We're all collectively humans and should be judged by our individual actions and not the actions of a group we fall under (if that group has no intrinsic belief set [i.e. race]). Acknowledge the misdeeds your "group" has caused but don't judge or let yourself be judged for something you haven't done.
Real talk? I'm blown away by this reaction video. I've watched several reaction videos to this song, but these two young bucks have the best, most sincere and open minded opinion of all. Which has honestly caused me to now have to rethink this new generation. Normally the older folks are the wiser and more willing to examine issues with an open mind; but these two right here.....whew. Respect fellas!
Bucket head nation baby
I love how they said if you got offended by "im not Racist" video then your unwilling to listen. Love that so true
just offended by the fact that different skin colors are seen as races by americans apparently
There is only one race, the human race
Abdul Bah You forgot NASCAR.
@@darthbane5676 and Crab People.
true dat, we are in a never-ending cycle of hate that we created ourselves.... sad.
I love watching intelligent people discuss this video.
It's a shame they don't know when slavery actually occurred or who it's affected throughout history, they're intelligent but they're not considering their own bias at all.
😂😂😂
@7:43 “I dissect” he meant digress 😂😂😂😂
*but I digress*
me too, I keep looking for african-american people discussing this video and actually listening to BOTH sides. They're really great people
I'm not racist, my wife's brothers cousin's nephew's sister's mother in law has a goldfish that is black😤
@Dominate Gene LMAO
Lmao
Then its a blackfish
LOL IM SCREAMING !!
@@sol4712, figga
This is the realest reaction ever.
shaq did better
"We should be arguing about opinions, not skin color," yes, bro! word
philosophicaldudeman but isn’t that what they were speaking about?
The white mans opinions on the black man and vice versa.
@@mosesmartinez14 That would be classifying and generalizing two races. Take 'White Supremacist' for example, just because white supremacists are white, as their name suggests, doesn't automatically mean that all white people are immediately supremacists and have the same opinion as all other 'white supremacists'.
Right when he said that it hit me too. Just think about it it’s ridiculous. It’s like that dr Seuss book with the star bellied sneaches and normal ones or whatever lmao
I love how he said we should be fighting about opinions not skin color that's 100%
Shlomo Shekelstein
Exactly.
Only stupid people thinking the heat between black and white is only based on skin color even im as non american understand this shit but i understand how bad slavery is since my country got colonized 350 years, im not picking side but i understand black side better in slavery context
I really appreciate you guys giving Joyner a chance and trying to understand what he is trying to say. Too many people write others off because they say something controversial. New sub for this video, keep it up guys.
"They really arguing about a skin color"
Me: ha welcome to America
Welcome to the world*
@@adamakemon1856 true
Yeah lol welcome to humanity it’s been this way from the beginning!
@@MRphipps54 yes it has and its just sad
One of the most analytical and moderate reaction videos. I loved this. You were among the only black reactors that didn't just get triggered by the white perspective. You were understanding and willing to listen. You even admitted that there is work to be done for both sides. We need more levelheaded people in the world especially you tubers who influence the youth.
Christopher Alvarez I would get triggered by that white perspective because it wasn't true...but I understand why.
DopeArts you just contradicted everything that this guy just said
KingMeme yep
True that
Christopher Alvarez
Finally, found some smart people who don’t get triggered easily and listens to both sides. Gained much of my respect.
Ezio .
The problem is us only wanting to hear one side
that pfp tho
I was just coming to say that about the pfp. 😂
Sara Wegmiller it’s kinda epic ngl
xxx teniscourt yaaaas! I love CG❤️
This is america
That hug at the end I find it precious because it wasn't a hand shake. It was a hug.
In the white guys verse he says something about "two floors to a building", which means that one of the races is higher up than the other. Near the end of the song, the black guy says "live in the building but split at both sides", which is an indication that they are on the same level but can't get along.
Nathan Godderis I don't think it's supposed to mean that
Nathan Godderis your on to something.
Personally don’t think that what Joyner meant. I think he was just using 2 different ways of saying the same thing but maybe you’re right
Thanks for the clarification
Dank Memer What does it mean then, if it's not that. At least tell us your interpretation of these verses.
“They really at a table arguing about a skin color” AMEN
Preach. Skin color stereotypes, damn
Not necessarily arguing tho just stating their opinion on how they view one another
Lydia Hummel so much deeper it’s culture and they were helping each other understand each Other
I mean racism is a pretty big deal in today’s society
Lydia Hummel I call it talking something that hasn’t been done over the course of history. I feel it’s more about hearing each other out as if they are spokesman for their individual race
This is what EVERYONE needs to hear. I love this both sides speaking out and sitting back.
"two sides to EVERY story" I feel like that's the main idea of the video
Damn...Joyner is incredible. How did he not win a grammy for this?
This video is nominated for best music video for the grammys!
Cos it’s speaks truth on both side and nobody likes truth
cause he's mid
Because it's not good enough.
Ay two words mumble rap
Gained a lot of respect for how they talked about this video
TheJangles21 yeah cause you are white
Peace 1 That isnt accurate but I am curious because how you said that implied you didnt agree with what they said. If I am correct what do you disagree with?
Peace 1
I really liked how level-headed and understanding they were as well and I'm 100% Asian. Why does race matter? Those two behaved admirably and should be praised for doing so.
this video was wasted on you, how can you watch this and still not understand that we need to stop assuming this and unite as one with all races.
Peace 1 what does him being white have to do with anything
I never knew about racism until I went to school and learned about it ( I am 32 years old now ) I have black family members and never once did I ever question their skin colour as it was normal to me and the way that society is today just breaks my heart...!
The way I see it, we all bleed the same colour of blood ( unless you are an alien )
Absolutely loved this reaction and the way you broke it down for people who couldn't understand the 2 side perspectives was awesome!
I have watched your videos before but realised I never subbed but I smashed that sub button. ❤
When I was younger growing up my best friend was Black Kenyan and I'm white Scandinavian, all the way up until I learned about history in school we didn't know no better neither, bro when I learnt about it in history I felt awful, like I genuinely thought I'd done my best friend wrong 😂 so I know what you mean when you said that.
They aren’t arguing they’re hearing eachother out
Kristian Your profile pic suits your comment
Many More this so the worst ducking reaction out there, the point went over there head. They have the balls to spam this shit with ads
Many More oops sorry this is the good reaction, l thought this was the one with the 2 imbeciles were freaking out
I mostly see them doing both.
So baised
Due to recent events here in the US, I figured I would give this song a listen again. And I’ve gotta say thank you for not getting too caught up in one side and letting your emotions beat you. I just wish people could come together as... people, and not let race divide us. At this point, I feel like we do need to sit down at a table and vent our frustrations to each other so we can help each other. I understand each side has a point of view and I just wish I understood the other. There are too many people who jump to conclusions and then take those conclusions and put it with a certain group of people, rather than looking at the individual. That’s how stereotypes start. People tend to focus on the negatives and overlook the positives. It only takes one bad seed to ruin it for the rest. I’m not racist, and MOST people are not racist. But there are some. And I know it goes both ways. God bless everyone who reads this. 💯
We need more songs like this. This is a song to show kids to teach them about racism.
These dudes are so Intelligent
Little Binch
Why was race brought into this? What makes you think I thought they'd be unintelligent because they're black?
Wesley David
Haha chill for a second I was responding to someone called Little Binch. I even tagged his name before starting my response, he deleted his comment cause he realized it was stupid. He brought race into it and that's why I responded like that
Micah Leone oh he did? Well fuck that nigga.
You guys want some drinks ?
Yeah

Jelapeno me fuckin too
I got RUclips Red Shawty
I think when he was saying how they dressed got them killed but I feel like he meant how they present themselves really, you know.
Nicholas Moore 100 ageee
Exactly, when I was younger in the early 1990s. I had long hair, ripped Jean's jacket, ripped Jean's and wore heavy metal t shirts or "legalize now" t shirts with pot leaves all over. I got pulled over, searched, harrassed all the time. I couldn't find a job, I was hard working but my appearance detoured from getting hired, mainly my long hair. I finally cut my hair at the age of 21 and a week after I got hired for a job. I am a white male. My moms car had broken down and I lent her my car and she got pulled over. Thinking she was me driving, you know the long hair and all. Lol
That's my side of the story as a white fatherless young man. Maybe if I had a father, he would have wooped me into dressing like I respected myself.
It didn't change who I was. I still listen to crazy death metal in my 40s, work my ass off and super happy Canada legalization of Marijuana. Lol
exactly
But as I’ve seen situations black people can be wearing a full out suit and they will still shoot us because we are black and as Joyner said in the genius review he basically wants us not to be black in order to not get shot
BRACEFACE IRIII you’re straight up lying you’ve have never seen that happen
When he talked about Tupac being a god & you said "He was." That shit was hard af.
That shit was stupid
@@ogomarzie4998 lmao 😂, no chill
What did Tupac do to advance society? I am asking genuinely
@@dylan351321 I'm not a huge Tupac fan personally, so I couldn't tell you. It was more his initial reaction.
@@dylan351321 I'm not a tupac fan but my parents are so hopefully I can explain this. Its not necessarily what he "did" its what he "represented." He was the voice of a certain group of people, people at the bottom of the food chain that were in bad/dangerous neighborhoods. He made the people that were struggling to live feel like they had a voice. He was a big mainstream figure that rapped about stuff few to nobody else was talking about. He made people feel heard and like they weren't alone. At least thats what my mom said.
The moment you decide to defend one side, you missed the point of the song.
R . E they didn’t tho
0nly_Changel there was a little slip up regarding the sagging and police killing comment, i believe joyner was talking more about the way people present themselves in regards to how they are treated by police.
You can actually pick a side. One was on an experience, my life, but the white guy was going on stereotypes. But the point of the video is understanding and having compassion for eachother to get past this issue. You can't become colorblind when one is still living in a colorful world.
@@goodrose4734
But stereotypes can exist for a reason. Like smart Asian stereotype. They push their kids way too hard, seems like they don’t get a childhood. Do all of them? No. But a good chunk that can. And the black dude reacting to the stereotypes actually confirmed they were right but explained WHY he did it. We gotta focus on the whys.
Seems like every body would rather fight than fix the problems.
Lowkey I got hit with the whole, "They are actually wasting time arguing about a skin color"
And I really thought about it, and realized how stupid we are to argue about people who's cells produce more pigment molecules,
We are all still humans through all the struggle and history
Exactly. Underneath the skin we all bleed red.
True, but it’s not just a skin color. Black people and white people are (not always) different and not only the skin color but their identity. It has a story behind.
Not about race it’s about culture.
Gaming Potatoes and people still try and use it to benefit themselves because their ancestors had hard lives but they didn't do Jack.
The thing is that claiming it's all about skin colors is kinda simplifying the issue. I don't think it has anything to do with color, it's all about the culture and the mentality of a singificant portion of that race that ends up defining it in the eyes of a lot of people. I think that's what this song was aiming at.
As a mexican american (mexican/white) i can relate to the line about minding your own business still not knowing if your gonna live or not. My dad (full blooded mexican) owns a landscaping business here and i used to work with him but on a day that i was off the customers backyard that he was working at got surrounded by cops aiming their guns at them telling them to drop their guns. They didnt have guns but a neighbor of the customer thought “they had rifles and were going to shoot up the neighborhood.” The “rifles” were their shovels they were using to dig with. If you think thats an understandable confusion just imagine if you got the cops called on you at your desk job cuz someone thought your phone was a pistol and the cops were ready to shoot you and take your life because of that... because you were just minding your own business.
Austin Lopez frfr
Austin Lopez damn that’s some crazy shit
Austin Lopez kinda in the same place feels so bad when you go out with family thats not from America and knowing that could be the last time you see them with all this deportation stuff going on hurts and burns my head everyday
I'm Mexican/American I was minding my own business helping a friend fix his car when cops showed up with their guns out thinking we were trying to steal the car
Austin Lopez same here I’m Mexican American
16:25 You nailed it right there. It's not about race, it's about cultures!
Came back after 2 years. Joyner is a goat fo this
This shit speaks volumes, Joyner is a straight genius. Bout time someone made a song like this. Shoutout from Massachusetts, keep doing your thing Joyner
Kaepernick needs to watch this vid
NikoGoKrazy n to.
He wasn't sayin the cloths were the reason for police shooting it was the gang violence that the style is popular with. He was making a correlation with the style of gang members and the criminals that are associated with that. But mad respect to you guys for doing this.
Black Fire yea. I mean a black guy in a suit and tie with a clean cut. Just kinda feel like the police wouldn’t go for that cuz they can’t get away with “looking intimidating” and shit as a reason for shooting the guy too quick
@@theangrystone1335 It's not about what police go after. Police go after criminals or those suspected of crimes. Also when was the last time u heard of a gange member or a drug dealer getting arrested in a suite? It the culture that decides to dress that way and cops won't go after a black man in a tie because he more than likely didn't commit a crime. NOT just based on the suite but based on his position that allowed him to have that suit witch is usually related to a businessman of some sort.
I think the point was also that there is a dichotomy between saying - rightly so - that black people are not inherently criminals, and on the other side having black culture appropriating and celebrating elements - like some types of clothing - which are taken from prison and gang culture: an example is the extremely low pants, which as much as I know is linked to the fact that in prison you can’t use belts. Obviously this is an extremely semplified statement, there’s to say that the extreme difference in terms of incarceration between blacks and whites forced prison “culture” on the black community.
The bigger picture here is that he is stating what people think, right or wrong we need to come to the table and just let it out to get past it.
Black Fire facts
Ty for your insight and the education we all need. Big hugs. Love is what will overcome and friendship is what will be built on.
U guys deserve a like and I’m gonna subscribe. Well done
@10:50 he isn't saying police are killing us because of how we dress but he's saying it's the way we present ourselves
That's just what "that side" thinks. The song is just disclosing each side's thoughts to each other. Joyner knows the truth.
Exactly what I was thinking
yea i agree. i think it's because they dress the same as the people that usually commit the crimes so police end up grouping them all into the criminal category which actually makes logical sense to do but sometimes logic isn't the right way to go
It is how our brains work. It's a sense of judgement. We judge every situation the moment we enter it in a quick moment. Since our brains aren't aware of all the details to the specific situation they fill in the blanks with what it already knows from elsewhere. Then if we stay in the situation the unknown get filtered out and replaced by facts. This is a defense mechanism so we can react instantly to danger. Since it is a defense against danger those unknowns are treated as dangerous so our brains flood with adrenaline and other chemicals to put us in a position where we can better defend ourselves the moment danger first shows itself. You can place the hood style looking like criminals as the same as middle easterners dressing the same as terrorists. The dress the same because they come from the same culture which scares people who don't know yet if they are a terrorist or just a normal person from the middle east. We can't fix that our brains work this way but what we can do is remove the general thoughts on these cultures. If we learn how it really is and ignore that there are some bad people doing the same things as them then our brains won't put us on the defensive. Sorry this was so long, I didn't know how to describe it in a shorter way.
OutKast Gaming yh i wanted to say that but i didnt want to deal with the hate i was going to get.

hits different in 2020 need sum thing like this again
Two very open minded and smart individuals. Hope you see even more success. Bless up
This song is a double edged sword some true statements on both sides but it really makes you think.
I think the point is to demonstrate that both are wrong because both are racist. The common ground between both mens arguments is that both are being racist to the other, even if unknowingly, but the beauty of it to me is that Joyner finds a way to humanize both of them. The hug at the end represents a willingness to understand the others argument and in a way to accept that they themselves have misjudges the other. In other words both men are intelligent enough to recognize that their arguments were hyperbolic. Every line in the song has a grain of truth but none of it is actually true because the truth is between them and the only way to get there is to sit down and listen to eachother. This shit is beautiful and it absolutely disgusts me that Joyner didnt get a Grammy for this. This is some of the most impressive pieces of writing Ive ever seen and Im not limiting that to hiphop or even to music in general
Michael J. Piazza but at some point you will need to, you know, work things out and call each other out on bullshit that both sides do.. but that might come out as racist to some people, which is a problem for some people
I disagree. What message in the first verse do you agree with?
Bryan Foster well he’s actually he’s kinda right somethings in their are full truth
@@adriandiaz6379 Which things?
"stop saying ya'll" ... best advice for everyone.
Jackie your right and imma tell you sum, I watched this video forever ago and it still gets to me, I’m 15 Yr old white male, my fathers a cop, see now a decent amount of people in any race believe I’m a racist, or my father is a bad man, but you haven’t seen my side have you?? No you don’t know what’s it’s like to be a white working man who sees a decent amount of his hard earned money taken away to be given to people who do not work, as well as I have no idea what’s it’s like to be someone who can’t get a job because of the way they look, I would like to spend a day in “a” person of the black colors shoes, as well as I think it would be eye opening for “a” black person to spend a day in my fathers shoes, it’s never gonna end if “we” can’t except, respect and learn and listen from each other , “we” all wanna get very mad and angry and talk about what “we” have to say and not listen to what “they” have to say, and “everyone” is different, there are racist people and there are not, I know sadly many racist white people, and many racist black people and that’s just the truth even though must of “us” don’t wanna hear that, but your right it is not “y’all” it’s more of an “us” thing at this point
Sept_synth there’s more white people on welfare than black people
But I cant
Im Texan
@@ela1634 Im not trying to start anything but there are more white people than black people in this country
MJ Dagoat yes and therefore there are more of you on welfare so why are black people brought into it white people are consting tax payers more 💕
“Like Tupac was a God”
*deadass looks at camera*
“He was”
Love it. You guys are awesome.
I want to hear ya’ll do a political debate though. This song is deep and it has opened my eyes prior to hearing “ya’ll” do it. But I love it even more now. Keep up the great work.
You boys give me hope for our future. I love reactions to this video so much because I think the message is powerful. You young men gave some of the best, most meaningful feedback that I have seen. Great job guys!
AS SOON AS I HEARD THE SONG I WAS WAITING ON THE LAW TWINZ REACTION.
aaliyah bullock simple❗
I like the fact that ya'l didn't just sit there and stare at the video but actually reviewed it, Great vid! :D
Adoring adjore I loved that they did that
Adoring adjore nah
7:00 "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" - The art of war
Mexicans are not the enemy.
Bro, I got mad respect for y'all with this one reaction. I watch so much of y'all stuff, but this one and with how deep y'all dove into it, shit. MAD respect for your perspective.
When he says “don’t say y’all” but then he says Mexicans I love y’all 😂
he meant when talking bad, not when spreading love
natgnaB it’s still a form of generalisation, it’s wrong to say I hate all white people or I love all black people
he meant using y'all as a way to generalize
You dumb fuck
natgnaB it's still generalizing tho. If you say "I love all Mexicans," you saying you like ALL of them. There's at least one Mexican that was a mass murderer so you don't know what you actually saying if you say that. That's how I feel at least
My nigga on the right be analysing every single verse DAYUM!! That's what i call a reaction.
This how many times they paused it a second🤣
👇🏽
I've watched a few reactions to this, but I love the intelligent open conversation here the most. I'll be coming back to this channel!
"Joyner might be a genius", he is a genius
“Say goodbye to any advertisement in this video” has like 6 ads on this video
Blackwolverine 31 Hahhaahahahaaa I'm pretty sure he meant the video that they are reacting to
I didn't have ad's
I got 9 ads
I don’t get ads💀
RUclips is wild they'll tell you you're video has been demonetized. Which means they're still gonna put ads on it so they can make money, but no money for you. Pretty sure he meant it like like we're not getting any money for this one.
I love the way you two broke it down. This song will change lives and points of views. Everyone should hear and watch this 100% all the way through. God bless!
You guys reacted the best to this song. Not getting overly mad, not picking sides or anything. Smart breakdown, you guys goated for this
I’m going to be honest, you guys are talking about seeing each other’s point of views but y’all disagreeing with everything the white man says
T Kay thats the point they disagree but they still listen to what he has to say
JAKOBE JONES Exactly
T Kay you are bias too.
because all of it was based on stereotypes you fucking IDIOT. the other one was based on lived trauma. white americans can never handle how soulless they truly are in the eyes of the rest of planet.
lmao ur fucking stupid, this is why they made the video ,people like u
Sad I was focusing on his dimple.
Same
The Pretty way is the only way he cute af *no homo *
same-
j gear lmao girl same
Forreal and his lips
When he said pants down, etc, maybe you wont get shot. He was being like, blacks are being so thug, lookin' thug, all gangster.
So you're telling me if a white boy dressed as a thug he would get shot? No it's not because how they dress it's because of their skin tone.
YungTonee no its how they present themselves through anything they post. like songs, they sometimes talk about murder and guns. and saying that in a lot of the songs can make anyone feel nervous around any race if they were to present themselves like that.
This the first time watching you guys and I’m already a fan 💛
Not gonna lie; this almost made me cry, in a positive way. Hearing both sides, then having them come together at the end? Joyner is indeed a genius.
Business Cat yo same at the end shit touch my heart
@@DavidGarcia-ne3jb even the strongest thug would cry while watching that
Make America Great condom.
M.A.G. condom.
Am i the only one that caught that?
Btw, new sub. Fux with the in depth analysis
Xaviér Smith yes you were and im glad you pointed that out ...the mans a genius
Xaviér Smith thank u, I just caught that
Xaviér Smith damn I did not catch that
Bruh i just been mind blown bruh
NAH bro I didn't even think about that I'm shook
I loved how when they paused the video they said something that people actually cared about and didn’t stretch it out to long
Loove the way u reacted to this, really smart!! Love u guys
It's really crazy how people can watch this video and then leave a comment that proves exactly what Joyner was saying. We gotta do better America...
Deyonte Warren Montreal Warren
The base argument is about "skin color but the whole conversation between the two is about the separation of cultures that society has caused
But it also is showing that BOTH sides are racist towards each other.... by using stereotypes and generalizations to form opinions on both sides...
TheCarter117 Official Gaming exactly, I was just telling my wife that this morning lol
And also how the things we say and continue the divide and don’t help the situation. And how sitting down and actually listening to each other is a very small and simple action but can ultimately close the gap if ppl actually did it or cared to recognize that (to quote this video) “..there are two sides to every story.” And sitting back and saying “... let me hear yours” WITHOUT trying to tell them they’re wrong and how when the reality is if you haven’t lived that life then you don’t know
broi feel u guys honestly i wish there was more people like you guys with these mentalities the world be better place
I must admit of all the reactions ive heard of this song/rap you guys are really good at seing the message in this video 👍 respect
"It's like living in the same building that's split into two FLOORS.
There's two sides to every STORY I wish I knew yours."
yoooooo he slid on you there.
They dissected it tho
Austin Traweek it’s different tho two floors is meaning one is greater than other, when the black male said two sides everyone is equal
Isnt it clear that the black guy and the white guy were both extremely racist? Thats the point. I think this video is trying to say that Black culture and White culture shouldnt be exclusive to race. That skin color should be an attribute like hair color or eye color. This video isn't tearing apart the white guys arguments or the black guys arguments. Its taking both and saying that yall are both racist and until you see that you cant possibly be equal because then he will always be able to say a word you cant and he will always struggle more than you and he will always be more privileged and he will always be DIFFERENT. Thats the problem. Im all for equal rights for all races, but that doesn't mean races should be separate. People need to stop advocating for separate but equal and start advocating for equal. Thats my two cents
Ben Cornell I agree with you on that.
Ben Cornell i disagree its obvious you didnt comprehend whst he was saying
Ben Cornell U r completely right, the point of them saying I'm not racist after each racist thing was to show that they're both racist
thats exactly what the videos about
Ben Cornell Although the phrase separate but equal has died a long time ago, I agree that races are somewhat seperated naturally through socio-cultural influences. I also agree that both blacks and whites need to try and communicate and integrate more with the other race in order for each side to truly understand each other before making sterotypical judgements.
Yooooo! Your point about not saying "ya'll' when you address someone with an issue. So solid
came back to this video and I gotta say I really liked how mature, level headed and unbiased this reaction was ✊
Segregation is gone from the lawbooks but we still segregate in our hearts, that is the biggest hurdle of all
Who is "we"? Cause I ain't fitting any of yall we's. I am a Heinz 57 of color and races so I get judged by what I look like. This is why all I worry about is me to hell with we.
@Mark Johnson: ALL OF US that's da "we"... We, as a race of people, all segregate in our hearts, some more than others, but we all do it...
@@markjohnson362 Small minded thinking.
@@markjohnson362 Casting other people aside and thinking about only yourself is just gonna get you fucked in the long term. It sucks to be judged constantly and not fit on any side in this black-and -white-ass world where we forget there's a grey...but whining about it and saying "fuck y'all" metaphorically to everyone else is just as shitty as what they're doing. Find yourself some people who give a shit and don't judge you based on that shit(because they're out there whether you think so or not) and grow the fuck up man.
Aversive racism is a real thing. I'd like to think I'm open-minded, but I know I'm still influenced by it at a deeper level.
Yooooooo they higlighted my comment😢😢😢😢
JIMBo TV sure
Don’t say y’all
How?
Vince 2020 my comment is the 1 they read at beginning
PenguBoi y not they showed it at beginning
Thanks for being open and intelligent and expressing your thoughts eloquently. You helped me understand part of this.
Wish they had a love button on this one.
I never even thought of “y’all” being perceived that way! I was raised in the south (NC) and everyone was “y’all”. Making changes 🙌🏼
You two keep being real. Like you both said, people want to talk, but not many will do anything to change.
It's so fucking powerful
Valicia Bernard the SHIT b waaaack
Watch your fucking mouth young lady.
i really like the comparison with walking down a certain street and getting jumped. that opened a new perspective for me. thank you.
I came back to this video, you guys did an awesome job
Thanks guys,I really loved hearing both sides and your input. Peace is leaving all the bullshit in the past and letting it heal like a cast.
