Nate Gruen Seems intelligent. Personally I would agree, but even more important I’m my opinion, Shaq has an extreme abundance of common sense, and toe the line morality. If we all would use more common sense and morality in our decision making, the world would be much better off.
@Jonathan Rodriguez I can confirm that, considering that he thinks that anyone from before the abolition of slavery in the United States of America is still alive is recorded proof that this man is not intelligent, not a bad guy, but not an intelligent one either.
Shaq is among the few people who actually understand this song and what it really means. Because it's about two things: both of them let them share each other's stories and they didn't interrupt or say "You're racist!" or "You mean nothing!" or something like that. Then they hugged it out at the end and it's really that simple. Keep up the great work Shaq
Didn't the song literally say that you can be racist even if you had a friend or family member of the opposite side? So Shaq saying that goes against the song imo lol
Kahlil Pittman I think he’s referring to the white guy’s view of black people living off government assistance and Shaq somewhat agreed and pointed out that he worked hard for everything he has.
@Everyday V because you still have to work for what you want it's not like you get to get everything free everyone does it's not racist it's just how a economy works the economy would be fucked if you got free stuff because your a different race
something most reactors failed to do and completely missed the point of it all. Respect to Shaq for understanding and seeing both sides without picking a bias.
It’s a powerful message. I’ve got friends of every race, gender, sexuality, etc. I have no clue what it’s like to be them and I don’t try to. I’m a middle class white dude, how can I know? I can ask, we can talk, try to understand different perspectives, and get along. It’s not that hard if you don’t make it hard.
It’s really not difficult, it’s a system trying to make it hard. My wife was baffled (probably still is) that I say the n word around certain black friends. Made me feel weird saying it, but they know I don’t mean anything by it. I was the only white guy playing safety in high school, still the only white guy playing safety in college, of course a lot of those guys became my friends. Several of them could walk in to my moms house right now and she’d just say hi and ask them if they wanted a beer or something to eat… and i live 500 miles away. They’re practically family, so I’m as ingrained in theirs as they are mine. Saying it is weird, but if I do, they know I’m not talking down. Context is so important and when you lose it, you lose what any word means. I never pretend to be black, police ignore me, I’m assumed to be innocent of everything. My best friend was born in Thailand and he’s more redneck than me. Just opening your eyes and ears leads to some very positive results for you and everyone around you.
Man.. you said “I got 15,000 subs. Personally I’m not big my goal is 1 million”. You’re at 3+ million brother. Proud to have watched you get the recognition you deserved
I’m a 59yo white woman and this is video is hard to watch, to listen to both sides and the anger they have explaining how they feel. But this is so very important for everyone to hear!! I swear if we all were to listen with our hearts and our minds open to what is said, many would change their minds. In a perfect world we would hug each other at the end ❤️🤗
@@zipprgaming1232 there were still slaves in some places up until the mid 60's. I mean super uncommon of course, but u only calln him unintelligent.. bcuz of ur ignorance.
This song is a piece of art. Being Puerto Rican, I have seen both sides. There are two sides of every story. Noone is right, Noone is wrong. It's time to hear each other out and unify. Keep on doing big things man, of all the reactions I've seen, you've understood both sides and have a level head when breaking down the bars. One of the many reasons I follow you.
I really like the fact you took both sides into consideration it means your a open minded person and can take both sides into perspective which is a sign of High intelligence
I say there are 3 sides to a story. "Your side, my side, and the truth!" We all have a sad story and we deside if we will be a victim or a survier. I choose to not be a victim. It's a daily challenge!
"Judge eachother not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." _- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr._ Edit from 4 months later, not expecting the comment to get so upvoted: I know it ain't at all the message of the video, message being we can never truly understand each other. But it's still a teaching we gotta keep in mind. We're afraid of what we don't understand, and that means if we can't learn what we're judging, we can at least learn to hold back the judgement. Not see people for their culture, respect their culture, and see people for their soul. See eye-to-eye. Not color-to-color. Impossible? Maybe. But just like understanding, if you wanna live free, you gotta try.
This man says he wants to hit 1m subs through hard work. I come to this video 6 years later and he has nearly 4.2m. That’s the reward for hard work, well done sir.
ikr, i'm so used to just everyone going "omg this is so wrong reeee it's still white people and privilege" everytime he paused i went "oh great, here we go"
If you offended by either side of this song you missed the point of this song. Both sides made great points. I hope people understood this song it has a great meaning.
Amen, honestly Joyner Lucas is a genius bro, his goal when he made this song was to display two sides of a story and not back either side but to UNDERSTAND both sides and the message of the story
Absolutely right mate, we all too quick defending our side but forget that there is always two sides of the same story. Maybe we should listen more to mix race kids as they perhaps are better at understanding the two sides.
It is a real shame, as much as we want racism to end, it will never leave. There will always be a group that support themselves and hate another side with a different gender or race, if only we could all hug it out and settle our differences. Forget about the past and United as a whole
Racism is biological. It served us in the past, but now in the time of dawning consciousness we should know better. We have one hope that we grow wise.
Major respect for you shaq. You changed my perspective on this entire song and instead of me being ignorant this time I actually listened and it’s taught me a lot.
Treveon Mccurty besides the obama part. I can’t think of a white person I know who isn’t an obama fan. Personally I’m a republican that’s why I dont like him. In my own opinion I don’t like how he thinks. Not just cuz he’s black. But everybody is entitled to their own opinion.
It is facks and I fell like white ppl have to make rich or middle class blacks to buy expensive things because for example if a white person drives Prius ppl don't think anything of it but is a black person drives a prius there poor so they buy expensive thing than yall think is is stolen or rented so I fell like there is a higher standard of black ppl
Happy to see this 2 1/2 years later and hear him say "I'm at 15 thousand subs, but my goal is 1 mil" and see his subs sitting a 1.86 mil. Shaq deserves it.
I am so impressed with how you could watch that and actually respond open minded. This why I love watching you. Very intelligent well rounded man. Good for you !
That reaction right thr, you people in its self is a racist comment my man bc you lumped an entire group together, that it the definition of racism bro, wow lol.
I feel like he would of got it for this but they just gave it to him for lucky you just to avoid the heat of this song not saying lucky you is bad btw its one of my favorites
Aye this brought tears to my eyes. I’m a white male you could say I’m conservative but it doesn’t mean shit what matters is we need to love and respect each other. Everyone has a story and it’s different than our own, we just gotta love and respect each other. Love this love the react and hope we can defeat the divide. Much love brother
I love that he said he works hard and his goal is 1 million, then I looked at his sub count. If only more people would hear THAT PART of this video and take it to heart. In 2017, he had a goal and was willing to work hard. In 2021, he's almost tripled his goal from WORKING HARD. Hard work gets results. Crying about an invisible boogeyman of "system racism" keeps you right where you are. So either cry and be a loser, or buck up and become successful, like the black man you see running this channel. He should inspire everyone watching this as much as he has inspired me!
Shaq, this was a dangerous video to react to because 90% of reactions on youtube do not understand the point of this video and instead get busy taking sides and getting mad over it. You, my man, NAILED THIS! It takes ball to acknowledge the negativity that permeate both sides of reality, especially when it involves people of your own background. I applaud you for that! You are my favorite reaction youtuber, you engage with the viewers and are every man's best buddy. Much respect to you, my man. I hope you don't ever lose touch, keep doing what you are doing!
It was probablu because he knew Joyner was black beforehand. At first, the reactors thought the white guy was Joyner and got mad. Then from the shock of saying nigger at the end, they dont even realise neither of them were Joyner
This is why you are my favourite reaction RUclipsr. You actually get the point of the videos you react to and listen to everything said. Love your work man.
I normally have no respect for reactions. But I like this guy because he seems to try to be honest and non bias. He Also addes to the content not just ridding on the videos hype but genuinely makes an effort. Good job dude you got a subscriber in me.
This guy is growing on me and I just subbed lol. I know this was a year ago but I’ll say this now. I’m glad he understands both sides and realizes we both have flaws and things that need to be fixed, he understands the pain of each side and that’s amazing, not too many people like him out there, so thank you. I just subbed because of this video.
Because of the government! Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats want there to be racial unity. They want us to keep fighting amongst ourselves. Because they know that if we are constantly fighting each other, we won't be paying as close of attention to the band of liars and thieves we call government. Morgan Freeman said it best, "If you want to end racism, stop talking about it." Instead, the government and the media keep stirring the cauldron and feeding us the contents within it. Every day they work hard to drive the spike in further, thus fueling the divide between our cultures.
Right I'm new and I'm like did he just say 1 million is the goal? My eyebrows hit the ceiling lol. Hold up when I subscribed could have swore I saw 3 million....(checking) um yes, yes I did see 3 million heh heh go a head bro!
That was beautiful, man. Watching this in 2021 it's a trip seeing how you're achieving your dreams and I turn to you for insight and understanding on songs I lack the cultural background to get fluently. It's like language, I can become fluent (4/5) but I'm not ever gonna be native (5/5). So I supplement that with reactions.
You really are the only "reaction to" RUclipsr that actually understands the point of the song on both sides and doesn't get offended. Props to you for that man.
@The Nicole Show If a white person calls you the n-word or something just straight up racist of course you should be offended. But that's not the point of the song.
Watching 2021 and so happy for your 2.6 million subs. This makes me cry. Lumping everyone into certain groups never works! We are individuals and that's how I can respect my cousin Luke, but can't stand my nephew Josh...They are individuals no matter where they come from.
I'm 59 ol white guy, I love people for who they are, good in both. Respect you young man! By the way I was born poor and we ate chicken out of our yard
@@tidler5110 Do you need color blind sunglasses? I'll get ya a pair. Color is beautiful, natural and surrounds us. I'm white but pretty colorful. I get tan in the warm sunny months. My cheeks turn red when I blush, or get to hot. I turned all kinds of purple when I bruise. Hell I even turned pale white with red polka dots when I had the chickenpox. The world would be dull and depressing without colors. :)
One of the best black guy reaction so far, normally black reactors freak out and blame the white guy in the video even though they dont get the point of the video. Keep it up bro.
edward "black guy reaction" that could be taken wrong way. He's a person who feels a way. Nothing to do with color. I'm white but let someone white try to belittle or degrade someone else for their race and see how quick I tell them to pipe down with that ignorant shit. That's the point of the song, that color shouldn't dictate shit. That and we need to be more understanding of each others points of view.
This made me want a hug man. Can we just be humans.. I know I’m not the only one that needs a hug. Gives the person reassurance that they aren’t alone. Mental health is tough
"Men often hate each other because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don't know each other; they don't know each other because they can not communicate; they can not communicate because they are separated." Martin Luther King, Jr
@@daveywalker2319 I'm right-leaning, but I don't see anything wrong with black-owned enterprise. Self-reliance, participation in capitalist economies, independent business mindset, importance of employment, less dependence on government.... sounds "conservative" to me!
Daniel Meeker Yea people need to realize being right ain’t got shit to do with skin color. It’s just about values. Most black people are right leaning when you actually sit down and talk them. I’m so glad my town don’t play the race game. We just poor folks tryin to make it in this world. We just laugh at these racist pushing their agenda. They want us to hate each other but we to busy working beside one another. Racism is on life support.
Love the song/message but when you were talking about hitting a mill subscribers and when I checked and saw that you were at almost 4 mill…shit gave me chills! Keep doing what you’re doing and I wish you and your family health, wealth and happiness!!!
Im Mexican sicilian and when i was a kid i had these neighbors down the street about 5 black kids all boys to the house some of the best guy ive hung out with. Their mom was a old white lady that adopted them all. They lived a great life. Id go over and play halo all day with them. That was along time ago. They were awesome. Perfect example of different races getting along
Ay my man im sicilian i grew up around a hispanic hood and the boxing gym i went to had everybody white black latin native american it was the happiest times of my life salute brotha
I am white, my parents immigrayed here in 71 from eastern Europe and I grew up between NYC and Philly both very multicultural. My friends growing up were Black, Puerto Rican. Irish, Cambodian, Korean, European, Chinese etc... we loved eachother, looked out for eacheather went over to eachothers houses for meals, lol, or just to goof around, listened to the same music, shared birthday parties, walked to and from school together thats just how it was! The sweetest purest time of my life! I often think of them.
This video brought me to tears because of what they have done to ALL OF US- dividing us so we can fight against each other. This world has much LOVE to offer, we just need to LISTEN to one another and understand each others pain- that is when we can join the humanity race once again with one another. You sir are one of my favorite reactors- You speak intelligently and with FACTS- Thank You
I love your videos mane. I have watched alot of your videos and we seem to like the same artist and songs. Please keep it up. You have brought me hours of entertainment and laughter. 1-Luv

I am so impressed with how you could watch that and actually respond open minded. This why I love watching you. Very intelligent well rounded man. Good for you !
Respect how you were legit about both sides of this story.
only reactor that saw both sides.
Go watch Artofkickz
@Malachis Lit Af no it’s because you people don’t hand anything to say back to facts, so you just call us racist so you don’t even have to conversate
@@blor8729 saying shit like 'you people' ain't helping you making your case though.
That reaction right thr, you people in its self is a racist comment my man bc you lumped an entire group together, that it the definition of racism bro, wow lol.
Facts
Joyner Lucas deserve a Grammy for this song. Man was dope af.
They love stupid cardi b
Yup. We need to speak honestly. We need love!
He needs the Nobel peace prize for this never mind a grammy. The only real difference between us all is circumstances.
The media wants drama...not honesty. Sadly.
I feel like he would of got it for this but they just gave it to him for lucky you just to avoid the heat of this song not saying lucky you is bad btw its one of my favorites
Dude, I cried when I first watched the original video! I loved it! Excellent reaction video!
Aye this brought tears to my eyes. I’m a white male you could say I’m conservative but it doesn’t mean shit what matters is we need to love and respect each other. Everyone has a story and it’s different than our own, we just gotta love and respect each other. Love this love the react and hope we can defeat the divide. Much love brother

Shaq went from reacting on his bed with earbuds to having a whole room with computers and nice chairs,I’m proud of him.😢
@yo yo
True.
I love that he said he works hard and his goal is 1 million, then I looked at his sub count. If only more people would hear THAT PART of this video and take it to heart. In 2017, he had a goal and was willing to work hard. In 2021, he's almost tripled his goal from WORKING HARD. Hard work gets results. Crying about an invisible boogeyman of "system racism" keeps you right where you are. So either cry and be a loser, or buck up and become successful, like the black man you see running this channel. He should inspire everyone watching this as much as he has inspired me!

"my goal is a million or millon plus" i cant express how happy i am for shaq
crazy how i saw this when it came out, saw this man grow like crazy and now im watching this again. Crazy work shaq keep it up 💯
Shaq, this was a dangerous video to react to because 90% of reactions on youtube do not understand the point of this video and instead get busy taking sides and getting mad over it. You, my man, NAILED THIS! It takes ball to acknowledge the negativity that permeate both sides of reality, especially when it involves people of your own background. I applaud you for that! You are my favorite reaction youtuber, you engage with the viewers and are every man's best buddy. Much respect to you, my man. I hope you don't ever lose touch, keep doing what you are doing!
It was probablu because he knew Joyner was black beforehand. At first, the reactors thought the white guy was Joyner and got mad. Then from the shock of saying nigger at the end, they dont even realise neither of them were Joyner

I normally have no respect for reactions. But I like this guy because he seems to try to be honest and non bias. He Also addes to the content not just ridding on the videos hype but genuinely makes an effort. Good job dude you got a subscriber in me.
No Life IS Life. He always keep it real.

Just cuz you can't separate yourself, your emotions and preconceived narratives from the facts don't mean everybody is like you
Not tryna be that guy but did you just say you have a subscriber in you 👀🙊
Amazing reaction! Mad me cry all the emotions. Thank you
This guy is growing on me and I just subbed lol. I know this was a year ago but I’ll say this now. I’m glad he understands both sides and realizes we both have flaws and things that need to be fixed, he understands the pain of each side and that’s amazing, not too many people like him out there, so thank you. I just subbed because of this video.
Crazy how this got forgotten so quick
Underrated
Sad, isn't it
@@mysterioushiggs ye
Because of the government! Neither the Republicans nor the Democrats want there to be racial unity. They want us to keep fighting amongst ourselves. Because they know that if we are constantly fighting each other, we won't be paying as close of attention to the band of liars and thieves we call government. Morgan Freeman said it best, "If you want to end racism, stop talking about it." Instead, the government and the media keep stirring the cauldron and feeding us the contents within it. Every day they work hard to drive the spike in further, thus fueling the divide between our cultures.
Cause people are afraid to admit what’s wrong and they’re afraid of change.
“My goal is 1 million subs” feels good to look down and see he now he nearly tripled his goal, that’s hard work right there
Damn straight
ngl! NLG still going in hard
Right I'm new and I'm like did he just say 1 million is the goal? My eyebrows hit the ceiling lol. Hold up when I subscribed could have swore I saw 3 million....(checking) um yes, yes I did see 3 million heh heh go a head bro!
3 mil now !!!
Deserved
Watching this again and I’m so proud of you for how much you’ve grown your brand, my brother. Keep up the positivity, Shaq.
That was beautiful, man. Watching this in 2021 it's a trip seeing how you're achieving your dreams and I turn to you for insight and understanding on songs I lack the cultural background to get fluently. It's like language, I can become fluent (4/5) but I'm not ever gonna be native (5/5). So I supplement that with reactions.
For everyone confused Joyner Lucas is not in the video, he just wrote both sides to the rap and those are actors
Why tf would anyone be confused lmfao this shit old

As Shaq would say. Facts
@@judecarpenter5536 😂
Yes
I think the point of this video was to show that there are faults in both sides, but with a little understanding we can come together
Couldn't have said it better, I agree.
Well said!!!
dutty sushi man u need an Oscar for your comment
The problem with the song is that it's the views of Liberal Black men, and what Democrats say about White Conservative men.
You should've left out the "i think" because that's what it is
Strongest words I ever heard. I cried 3 years ago and I still cry today
It's great hearing you say you want to make it to a million and you're on 3 + million rn. God bless you bro
You really are the only "reaction to" RUclipsr that actually understands the point of the song on both sides and doesn't get offended. Props to you for that man.
So true! Opened minded and sees both sides. All these other reactions take a side. Shaq the man!
@The Nicole Show If a white person calls you the n-word or something just straight up racist of course you should be offended. But that's not the point of the song.
@The Nicole Show i'm guessing you just don't get the point of the video?
@The Nicole Showthen why shouldn’t I as a white person get offended if a black person talks to me like that? Genuine question
@The Nicole Show aight go ahead and log off for me
choosing a side after listening to this wasnt the goal, and you did a great job of finding the real goal and point

One of the best black guy reaction so far, normally black reactors freak out and blame the white guy in the video even though they dont get the point of the video. Keep it up bro.
ZIAS lmao
You need to watch dads reaction to this then he was very mature about it just like this guy.
Scripter loved Dad’s reaction as well.
Scripter by dad you mean bucket head nation?
edward "black guy reaction" that could be taken wrong way. He's a person who feels a way. Nothing to do with color. I'm white but let someone white try to belittle or degrade someone else for their race and see how quick I tell them to pipe down with that ignorant shit. That's the point of the song, that color shouldn't dictate shit. That and we need to be more understanding of each others points of view.
Absolute masterpiece of a song and video had to come back and watch this one after a few years.
Great reaction. Love that you saw both sides of the story! Greatest reaction you have had. Amazing bro.

Im Mexican sicilian and when i was a kid i had these neighbors down the street about 5 black kids all boys to the house some of the best guy ive hung out with. Their mom was a old white lady that adopted them all. They lived a great life. Id go over and play halo all day with them. That was along time ago. They were awesome. Perfect example of different races getting along
Thanks for sharing. Sounds like you had a great time, and they probably tell others about their memories about you.
