It is very true. People on the verge of changing often have contradicting ideas until they can come to a conclusion about what they believe. Hate him or love him, Ethan speaks the truth when he says this
I used to work at a gas station where I received counterfeit money ALL THE TIME. I wasn't required to call the police. I just proved to the person that it's fake and told them that they can't use this. They would leave, and thats it.
I live in Norway, and the police training takes 3-4 years to complete. The process include things like moral tests and how well a person handle stress. I think the way to end police brutality in the Us is to make it harder to become a police officer. Thats how it is here in Norway and almost the entire population like and respects the police officers.
Germany (my homeland) also has much stricter requirements for police officers & people there are not afraid of them. Even where I am from, there are a lot of immigrants from Turkey and other countries and they aren't concerned about being racially profiled.
well that would kind of be an approach that would address all brutality, not just specifically black ones. Right now we keep pretending that this is a racial thing and there is a racial biad
Implying anyone respects Norwegian police. Ever seen that funny video of the 4-5 Swedish police (3 of them blonde women) trying to handle 1 angry immigrant? He literally beat them all up and ran circles around them. The police were just standing there doing nothing. Useless. Edit : Its true Sweden is more feminized then Norway, but the 2 countries are very much the same, and Norway is going down the same path as Sweden. Ive spent enough time in both countries to know. Its like comparing 2 neighbor states in the USA. Most americans can barely pick these countries out on a map. There's also a big difference from living out in the country and in the big city. Most people that live in the city will tell you that its not a white country.
“sometimes a hypocrite is a man who is in the process of changing” if we aren’t open minded towards people who are just ignorant and not bigoted, a lot of good that could be done is lost.
Because forcing white people to apologize for their skin color is of course not racism. I swear, more than 50% here are actual racists who genuinely hate white people based only on their skin color. This is a racist channel. No wonder it got so many dislikes.
@@AtheistReligionIsCancer nah, I remember when h3 made a video about MTV's racist video "dear white people" (or something like that) and criticized it for what it was.
@100 ud af 100 danske politibetjente er pædofile did i tell you to apologise for your skin colour? I haven’t seen any comments detailing that you have to apologise for being white. Do all discussions of race in any vaguely progressive way target white people?
@Noè Bozzini okay yeah, that video was really cringy, you can talk about how white people should probably learn more about racism without blaming them for it and without accusing them of it.
I'm changing into a person who's becoming proud of his white coloured skin. I'm gonna have as many children as possible with a pale woman. And we'll all serve God, Jesus Christ and live our lives for Him with lots of guns and love etc etc.
I've worked retail for 6 years and have been handed counterfeit bills. We've never called the police. We hand the money back and cancel the transaction if they have no alternative payment. That's fucking crazy.
What happened to George Floyd was not ok In any sense! From reports and the phone call from the clerk, supposedly he was acting erratic. Both autopsy’s (even the one from his family) found meth in his system. I believe that’s the main reason for the call.
more people need reminding of this. like, I remember hearing that Floyd might've hit his wife, and yeah of course he should get in trouble if he did that, but good lord man he wouldn't deserve death.
@@Friendlybot9000 I mean if he robbed the store the whole encounter would’ve been different and he could’ve actually had a weapon in that case what happened to Floyd was just a disgrace
And remember, everyone: This is not a political issue. This is a human rights issue. EDIT: Goddamn y’all are so particular. Okay, this isn’t JUST a political issue, the way some people are choosing to view it. At its foundation, the acknowledgement of Black lives and fixing society so they can live in it without fear is - first and foremost - a humans’ rights issue. Arguing against what BLM stands for is denying the struggles and hardships of Black people in America.
@ADRIAN C TUROW i really cant believe that at times like that you still havent woke up and still defend your stereotypes that clearly hurt a lot of people. I cant believe that in 2020 you are still racist
@ADRIAN C TUROW no one deserves to die unless they are THREATENING SOMEONE! Did you not watch this video? I don't care if he robbed someone in the past. You think the cop knew about his history? No. And not to mention that cop killed ANOTHER black man in the past. He did it before. George Floyd might not have been a wonderful man (which who are you to judge that) but he was still a MAN. A living being. And second degree murder is 100% what it was. Intention to kill without premeditation. This is a complete disregard to human life.
I don't know if Ethan knows this, but it's actually a quote from my favorite author, Brandon Sanderson in the series Stormlight Archives. Just google that exact line. It's very profound and one of my favorite quotes.
@UCCTEz-8fn7PNrVB3x-r6fkw yea, there are more white people.. so i mean that makes sense but remember... those are just deaths ALSO the percentage of black people vs white people (NOT just the amount) is more meaningful.... considering one is a minority. Also, again... those are jsut the deaths, look into the amount of unfairly prosecuted trials. You're missing the entire point of this entire thing by essentially arguing 'well they kill more of us' it's about the systematic oppression that DOES exist. And i mean, we just got civle right within the century so I'm not surprised.... but it happens
I'm sad to admit, for a brief time I was one of those people who said, "All lives matter" as a knee-jerk reaction to the BLM movement. However, I gave it a bit of thought and realized my assumptions had colored my response. I assumed black lives matter meant ONLY black lives matter. After an ounce of consideration, I realized the intent is black lives matter TOO. Don't let assumption cloud your judgement like I did, folks.
I used to think the same way. I still don't agree with everything the movement does but I definitely realise now how important their message is and what a long time coming this whole event has been.
I overheard a conversation at work today “well he was no angel; he wasn’t such an innocent flower”...I’m a recovering addict who has been clean for 2 years. I’ve done some fucked up shit in my life but I’ve tried every day these last 2 years to be a better person. It’s a scary thought though to think that if I were to get killed by a cop tomorrow that people might dig up my past to try to justify my death so it can fit their narrative. “He was a junkie piece of shit - he wasn’t so innocent”. Then again, I’m white so I probably have nothing to fear. Good guy, bad guy, or somewhere in the middle, George Floyd was a human being who was murdered by the same people sworn to protect him. There’s really no justifying that.
It was definitely wrong for the cop to do what he did, and he shouldn't have been killed obviously. But I'm pretty sure Floyd had both assault and armed robbery in his criminal record, so.. not necessarily an angel. Drugs are one thing, but hurting people is wrong.
It's not the police's job to protect you. It's their job to uphold the law. Now you know why us crazy right-wingers are pro-gun rights. The cops were never your friends and they never will be.
QuiveringPotato the fact that he has a criminal history is irrelevant. The cops shouldn’t have been so aggressive with him, and how would they know prior that he did have a criminal history?
They need mass police reforms honestly.. They are allowing too many beta males to be officers who have no bravery like the real army. They are thought to escalate the situation instead of calmly de-escalting it. I have seen a video of 9 police 'men' taking down only one guy. Why do 9 people need to take down one guy? So ridiculous.
This is so true. In many cases i see US police know less about their rights than citizens. Here in germany the training is also 2.5 to 3 years and the statistics of police violence speak for themselves
41 year old Black man here, this is my most memorable interaction with the police: 1992, 13 years old, at the park between my building and Willoughby, Marcy Houses, Brooklyn NY. I was playing 3 way catch with 2 other kids from my building. Two officers came up to us and told us to go inside since there was active tension between two local gangs. The next day my aunt told us that three men were shot near the park after we went inside. Two were gang members shot by rival gang members. The third was a maintenance man that got hit with a stray bullet. After that, I associated cops with safety. I still do.
The vast majority of cops are good people. Some of them are assholes, but taking a couple incidents and judging the whole police force by them is ridiculous. People with stories like yours are so needed in these times. Thank you.
@@horiapintilie4263 🙌 I agree with this. It must be a hard job as at times someone's life is at stake and this needs to be acknowledged far more often.
That’s the thing though, we look at people as groups and assume those groups are good or bad due to experience, when in reality, you have to look at people as individuals with their own morals and ideas. Some cops being responsible and trying to protect their community, while others are morons on a power trip.
When I was 16 I was falsely accused of uttering threats. I was taken out of my home and kept by the RCMP (I am Canadian) overnight. I had denied everything, they had interviewed one person and the rest of the people who they brought in had made contradicting statements. I was expelled, kept at home for 7 months and held on curfew. When I was finally cleared after a trial, I was told I could not sue. I was 16. I had lost my education, my life, and a lot of friends.
According to Civiqs, when this video was posted in June 2020, BLM had a 52% favorable rating and a 30% unfavorable rating. Today, nearly three years later, BLM has only a 40% favorable rating and a 45% unfavorable rating--its highest unfavorable rating in over 6 years. This video aged horribly.
Yeah it’s a whole lot of propaganda from mainstream media that is constantly portraying BLM as a bunch of thugs, when in reality, the BLM organizers of the protests I’ve gone to were the ones trying to get folks to not get out of hand against the police.
@@bigsirenguy Umm BLM is left-leaning and so is the mainstream media. BLM was proven to just dump its donations into mansions for its organizers. Hate to say it, but BLM is a scam that doesn't actually help minorities at all and over the last year people are finally (albeit quietly) waking up and realizing it.
He literally said "they're gonna kill me man" before he died which is the most fucked up part about it to me. I couldn't imagine being him in those moments, completely powerless and knowing this is it. It pisses me off.
I support the statement your trying to make, but Gandhi isn't exactly the best example for racism. In fact in his personal journal he is very discriminatory and racist towards certain groups of people. Again, support the idea, but could you use a better example please.

All cops should be required to wear body cams that film at all times. If a cop has a problem with that then clearly they're doing something they shouldnt.
starsstripesjacket I agree, but the same people saying that are also the ones who want to cut funding to the police. If they can’t afford to do that now, they certainly won’t be able to afford it if you cut their funding.
@@fyodorbysh no one who has 2 brain cells would unironically respond to the comment with “shut up, I ain’t no white supremacist” Then again, you could be actually genuine which in that case I wouldn’t be surprised if you have under 2 brain cells lol
Exactly. Not to mention that even if you are guilty of such low level crimes, death is not the sentence and a police officer doesn’t have the right to administer that justice on the spot. Judge, jury, executioner.
Has it? Literally no one is saying what the cop did was ok, but why do you needs to paint this guy like some sort of saint who did no wrong? He was walking outside while having covid and he resisted arrest. He should not have died, but if someone is pointing out his mistakes, it's so that other people can learn. He did make mistskes, and its in everyones interest to admit that he did and learn from them instsad of just going all "muh racismus".
Oromie X so what you’re saying is mr Floyd should have trusted a man that was not only capable of, but eventually would, take his life over a $20 bill (fake or not, it doesn’t matter)…he might not be "guilty" until a jury finds him so, but we all have the right to look at the video evidence and come to that conclusion now. I can guarantee you wouldn’t make the same argument for the Boston Bomber or someone who killed a person, on video/security footage, while driving drunk. More people need to call this out for what is.…perhaps then the country wouldn’t be getting torn apart at the scenes.
90% of comments: "I'd love to see him succeed in today's climate" or "I'd love to see him survive in today's climate" or "I'd love to see Leafy survive in today's climate" or "I'd love to see Leafy survive in today's environment".
Or Broken Arrow with a 1 hour and half video analyzing Ethan's facial expressions to find all the concrete evidences that Ethan orchestrated George Floyd's murder.
I haven't watched a single thing Keemstar has uploaded, and I've been on RUclips since 2006. His content would never show up in my feed, because he's a worthless cretin that posts the youtube equivalent of teen girl gossip, as read by a 35 year old racist man.
“sometimes a hypocrite is a man who is in the process of changing” Hypocrisy doesn't necessarily have to discredit a person, but can rather be a sign of growth. Well said, Ethan
@@reallyannoyingvoid543 It is something that Dalinar says, but I feel it's a somewhat common sentiment. I like to think that maybe Ethan has read stormlight though
It's a quote from a book series called the Stormlight Archives, pretty much word for word. Nice to see Ethan's a fan, and doesn't detract at all from the truth of the statement.
@@whitecunt6903 name what he did then that is bad and how he continues to do it now? All ive seen is hate for ethan Ive never heard a thing he has done wrong besides the keemstar absurdities. The questionable takes he made he has apologized for, he literally does it again in this video. Im not a stan I dislike some of ethans views, content decisions and many of his podcast opinions but that doesnt mean he is a bad person.
It’s so funny seeing this 4 years later, Ethan was really on his pandering white guilt arc. Now the h3h3 channel is defunct and Ethan fell to the woke. A real shame.
Someone isn't racist just because they don't agree with you. What's scary is how little effort you put behind giant ridiculous conspiracies like cops hunt black people for sport. Do you have any idea how many black and brown police officers there are all over?? Educate yourself please
When my late husband first became a firefighter, he was dispatched to a medical call. The cops had broken up a party and needed EMS for a arrested teenager. He was black and the cop was being horrible. They loaded him into the ambulance and the teen kept saying he couldnt breathe. The cop in the ambulance was in the way and my husband asked him to move. The cop saw the concern on my husbands face, laughed and said "They always say that. If you can say I cant breathe, you can fucking breathe" and my husband was shocked. When this happened to George floyd, that story came flooding back. How ignorant of that cop, with zero medical training, to laugh off someone saying they couldnt breathe and insist he must be lying because he can speak. Gross. Vile.
This is also a thing in the medical field where sometimes doctors believe patients are lying and those same patients later on either die or develop worse conditions. It’s a shame these people who are suppose to help citizens abuse their power in such a way.
when I did EMT training i was told the same thing, that if someone can speak they can breath (not breath well but just in the literal sense). Speaking requires breath. Often when people are chocked out it’s not that they cant breath but that the blood circulation to their brain gets cut off. No matter what continuing to choke an unconscious person is murder.
"When the looting starts, the shooting starts" means that if someone decides to trespass on private property and steal property that doesn't belong to them, the property owner has the right to defend their property. Maybe don't break into someone's business and loot it. If you break into my home or my family's home, expect to be shot. My stuff isn't your stuff so don't try to steal it.
@@Humannbeing “Their people”. We’re all people. I know you’re trying to say the police are racist. You probably also think modern day police originated from slave patrols and not from Sir Robert Peel in London. I’m also curious how you assume all police are racist when most LAPD officers are Hispanic, when plenty of agencies like Atlanta PD for example are made up of mostly black officers, and that police will lock someone up for committing a crime regardless of what race they are. Yes there are racist cops but that’s an extreme minority of officers. It sucks but it’s reality.
SenorSwagBuns it doesn’t matter about how long the video it is now it matters the watch time but ya this video has no ads so he really just wanna spread awareness
1.) Cops don't mess kids up for beer. 2.) Cops don't check your trunk unless they expect you of a crime. If you are in their system then they might use that as an excuse. So again, I am pretty sure cops can't search a car in the USA for no reason. As Ethan is a normal dude they had no reason to expect anything.
as a black man who has been subbed for years and cant wait to listen to the podcast while im at work ...this is very touching and shocking and deep. im in tears right now. thank you ethan for understanding and reaching out to those who dont
As a bw I feel the same. I was hoping Ethan would speak up more and am surprised he did on this huge platform. It shows change and growth imo and I’m proud to be a fan and viewer
I remember back in 2016 during RUclips’s ~edgy/offensive~ phase, Ethan got shit on for basically just explaining what Black Lives Matter means in response to a tone-deaf “all lives matter” prank video. There was so much backlash he had to make a whole response video. I’m just glad that in regards to this issue he’s really been consistent, and this video shows that
The whole message behind Black Lives Matter is that black lives matter too, not black lives only matter. Only problem is that there is not a large amount of people who think black lives don't matter. Basically anyone with any kind of influence is outright supporting BLM, and the only people we see actually being racist and acting like black lives don't matter are a few random trolls and kids trying to be edgy. The main statistic used to "prove" how racist the police are is how black people only make up 13% of the population, but nearly 25% of deaths by police. But usually BLM prefers to focus on specific cases and stories, and if you bring up any statistics showing more of the picture, you're deemed a racist. So instead of bringing up another race statistic, I'll show a different perspective. Men in the US make up 49% of the population, but 95% of deaths by police. This disparity is enormous, especially compared to the difference with the black population. Is there a problem with systemic sexism against men? Is the police force full of sexists who hate men? Are men being "hunted down in the streets"? Based on these statistics, plus most of the individual stories, isn't sexism a much bigger problem in the police than racism? If the answer to any of these is no, why? If you think that a 46% difference between population and deaths can be explained without sexism, or by more than just sexism, then why can't a 12% difference by explained by more than racism?
Supreme_Court Not really into the statistics, not even American, and I’m really trying to stay neutral, but with that said nothing irks me more than racism. I would like to believe it because there is a great difference between men and women, just biologically and culturally, but there shouldn’t be that much difference between to men, of different color. Yet, we are treated very differently, by each other, and often worse.
@@Supreme_Court. But there are distinct differences biologically and culturally between men and women that can explain that. Men do have more testosterone than women, which can elevate situations and confrontations with police officers, making it more likely for officers to shoot men than women. It's pretty clear that men tend to be more aggressive than women. Is it right for the police to be shooting and killing as many people as they are in general? Probably not, no. However, when it comes to the argument of why men are shot by police more than women, the argument of testosterone and aggression makes sense. It does not make sense, however, when applying that logic to black deaths by police. Black people are not statistically proven to produce more testosterone than white people. There is no explanation for it besides racism.
@@LargeMikel There are biological and cultural differences between blacks and whites in America. you mentioned men have more testosterone than women, black men also have more testosterone than white men, this is a fact, i don't know why you assume this can't be, you outright mention that it's not proven, why do you think that, even just anecdotally you should be able to see that west Africans have more muscle and deeper voices and stuff.
chunky cheese he didn’t mean that tho... he said he’d like to see “him” survive in today’s climate. not his content. besides it’s the same content he’s putting out now
To be fair the resistance fighters were also communist terrorists and among other things planted mines on civillian land, shot up shopping centres, bombed religious structures, bombed restaurants, and more importantly murdered more blacks than the Apartheid police ever did, according to the ANC's own findings in the TRC reports. But yeah no, it's totally comparable.
Wesley even though your statistics are wrong, it’s interesting that cops have done literally every single one of those things to black people in America
@@natees123 did you ever hear what Mandela said about "cutting off the noses" for people who refused to join his resistence (IE. Terror)? Mandela hated other Black's who refused to join him, even more than he hated apartheid. And what legitimate resistance movement involves raping enemy women and children? Not a very noble one, that's for sure.
"Sometimes a hypocrite is just a man in the process of changing" Goddamn Ethan, that's spot on. I myself have been a hypocrite in the past, I've changed for the better. Fantastic viewpoint. Thanks for the video, as well as all of your other amazing content
@@uberZanneth I doubt it. Here's another quote from the Stormlight Archive: “The finest defense of character is correct action. Acquaint yourself with virtue, and you can expect proper treatment from those around you.” Ethan doesn't seem to follow this one very well, LOL
Yes more people need to teach their children how to interact with police in a calm diplomatic way instead of choosing to resist arrest. The problem is they teach them the opposite aka “F the po-lice.”
Well all these quote comments making fun of ethan saying leafy couldn't survive in today's climate have aged horribly he was banned on youtube and has left the internet lmfao
Ethan I love this, as a black man you've said a lot of my thoughts exactly, and I'm glad you're taking a stand on this issue. Love you man, great work keep it up!
@The SoulFrog although 9 is a relatively small number compared to the population of America those were still unarmed men that shouldn't of been killed in the first place I mean look at how George floyd died...he was choked to death by a cop kneeling on his neck! What fucken training did that cop get to think that was a the best way to hold someone down that wasn't even resisting, don't let the riots take away from what happened to George floyd he deserves justice and the excuse that its only 1 man that got this year or only 9 is still wrong
Wasn't theft always punished with death? I mean, if some dude breaks into my house he better be armed because i'm sure i will be. Isn't this what the President meant?
I Van well that would also be considered breaking and entering into private property and possibly an actual threat. If someone ever were to go smash a window and steal things from a store normally, though, there would definitely be legal consequences but death would definitely not be it. I think there’s a pretty obvious distinction between what you said and what is happening with the looters. Plus, if a person did rob a house and got caught, they also would not be punished with death.
Ethan probably doesn’t even feel this way about this topic. He’s probably been pressured into making this statement because he knows he’ll get less views if he states his actual thoughts. It’s sad.
"Someone has a different opinion to me should I just accept it and move on with my life? Nah he's lying he didn't wanna make the vid" - everyone on the alt left and right
Yup, basically that's what happens to celebrities, you either be yourself and accept people will hate you no matter what you really think or you lie to everyone so they like you. The whole internet is like this
Cheeky Puzzle People like Drew Brees have stated their political beliefs and have been shouted down for being racist. Brees later stated how he was wrong for what he said and didn’t realize what he said can be hurtful to other people. When in reality he didn’t say anything racist at all.
@Bigchungas Boi993 I would love to see a worried big chungus come back and try to exist int he landscape today like, the posts that he was making would neeeeeever fly on youtube today and you have to adapt and overcome, the fact that like, chungus is a dead meme bro.
I've been with you through thick and thin as an african-american fan Ethan. I have so much love for this video, you, and your family. Thank you. Papa Bless.
I just wrote him the same thing.I know exactly when he is talking about and it did hurt me.And what happens?we just have to file it as another time a white creator we love disregards us. It happens so often most of the time we dont even mention it. It means so much to me,having continued to support him either way,that he,without a scandal,without fans holding his feet to the fire (They wouldnt anyway because they thing racism is edgy) or without him dealing with a cancel scandal,can see how qrong he was and to say sorry.This is why I always stuck by them. Because even when he had things he needed to work on him,he has a kind heart.
I was nervous when Ethan posted this as he isn't always the most careful with his word choice, but I'm so happy to see Ethan thought about this and is using his voice.
he always prepared quite well for the H3H3 videos, all the stupid things he said were during podcasts, when he doesn't have time to think carefully about everything he says
Same! LOL I could sense a lot of personal growth from in this video, wish I could see it happening more often with other people, but sometimes I just feel like losing faith in humanity...
My first encounter with a cop was when I was 15 at my older bros house party when cops showed up. Majority of the people there were 21 but there was a few under 21 and I was one of them. So when the cops came inside checking everyone's IDs my brother told me to go hide in his garage. I was pretty drunk so i figured I should hide under his car. Later, a cop came in the garage & turned the lights on, I watched his boots walk in closer to the point where he stood right by where I was hiding under the car. Then, the cop said "you do realize your entire body is sticking out from under the car and only your head is under the car". The cop laughed a lot, turned around, turned the lights off and walked out of the garage and just let me be.
Ethan: Throws a beer into a Bush Officer: *great moves ethan, keep it up, proud of you* Edit: I like your strong message though ethan, I feel like some people don't deserve this treatment just because of the color of their skin. I hate seeing people get hurt because of the color of their skin
Coitus Handguns ikr? “ACAB” is fucking racist in of itself. Why tf isn’t it called SCAB? Some cops are bad LOL God humans are going to make humans extinct
Arguments about George Floyd's character, whether true or false, are completely irrelevant. The cop didn't know about Floyd's past when he took him to the ground.
True, but this is true for the individual cops involved not being a representation of the entire police force I'm not saying that racism isn't an obvious issue in police forces all over the world, but it's not a systemic problem with the structure of the police itself and is rather a problem of individuals who join the police, although i will agree that the fact these people make it into the force is a problem unto itself
It's a systemic problem. People talks about bad apples to defend and to try to make these situations look as isolated cases, while the reality is the system is completely rotten. The police as a force unit has covered these reports in the past, only accepting the word of the police officer/s involved as the final evidence and they don't even care about investigating what happened, without these public recordings this most likely was going to end up as he resisted and threatened the officers, so, they had to do it, same old story.
i really respect you for admitting your hypocrisy as so many others would attempt to excuse their past actions, whereas you know that you have changed and are STILL continuing to learn and change for the better.
Sentinel_Spyder. exe how is that related to this comment? Regardless of the fact that I find your comment dumb, you should still be posting it on the main comments page, it has nothing to do with this comment about Ethan admitting to his mistakes
4 years ago the police barged into my apartment while I was alone with my 5 year old son watching a movie, had their hands on the guns, accused me of domestic violence and harboring a criminal, searched my whole apartment without consent or a warrant, yelled at and threatened me and accused me of lying, screamed “WHERE IS HE?! Where is he?! Stop lying!” all in front of my 5 year old, off of the call of a tweaking white drug addict neighbor who said she heard a man screaming in my apartment when no one besides my son and I had ever been there. I was a single mom living alone, I had no boyfriend, no one was ever at my place. Even if there was a domestic issue the fact that they treated me and my son that way was horrifying. Maybe it was a coincidence I was the only brown person living in the hall, maybe not. I can’t even imagine how things would have went if I was black. I can’t imagine the fear Breonna Taylor must have felt. To have the “authority” yell at and accuse you of lying while they search your property and with guns in hand, and you cry and tell them you have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about, it’s a feeling of helplessness and fear that’s hard to explain. As humiliating and terrifying as that experience was I was lucky to walk away with my life. Fuck the abuse of power so many cops have, this is not how you protect and serve the community.
Im sorry that happened to you. Just try to remember not all police are bad. They are dangerous. But dont forget some of them are good people. I dont mean to seem like im diminishing im just trying to spread positivity of someone whos step dad is a cop who is a huge supporter of B.L.M and i am again sorry you went through this
@@ksadarkace Why does she have to try to remember that some cops are good? The problem with police is not "a few bad apples". The system needs change, and the police need defunding, period.
You moved me man. My father was related in gangs during my early childhood (until he passed away when I was eight years old) and one of my earliest memories are of the police barging into my house to detain my father. I would say I was scared to death, and all I remember are the shadows of men being aggressive. In the end, he was still my father, and life continued as normal. My situation would have ended with either my father being imprisoned or killed on the spot, both of which wouldn't have left my mother or any part of my family with a fighting chance. I am shocked that it took me this long to start to truly see the bigger picture that is Black Lives Matter. Even with my father passing away early on, I had a great childhood, had a gaming console, to put it simply, I was well taken care of. I have only my family to thank for that. However, I now firmly believe that, had I not been born a white american, I would not have had things go so smoothly for me, or my siblings. Ethan I love your content and I love you as a person. All I can say is great moves and you keep youtube enjoyable in 2020. I'm sad, both that it took me so long to see the real message behind Black Lives Matter ( or at least a message that opened my eyes ) is "When they say 'Black Lives Matter'...they mean 'All Lives Matter'..."-Ethan 2020; also sad that it took me so long to start watching your content again!! Anyways, I just felt compelled to share. Thank you Ethan and please Keep up the great moves.
"Sometimes a hypocrite is just a man in the process of changing." Either Ethan is very wise, or he reads The Stormlight Archive! Either way, great moves!
I mean, the fact that Ethan said the N-word once or twice in what context what so ever, doesn't make him a racist. I feel like people that don't respect black people and their culture, just because of their skin color, are actually racist. But Ethan has always shown his respect for everyone. Still he may have made someone upset, so it's still a good thing to apologise for that, but it ain't that much hypocrite. Big love to all of you, have a good day!
I feel like he had to say that or else people would try to invalidate him. Because a lot of people for some reason or another actually think Ethan is a bad person which makes me sad
Nahhh I don’t think him using the n word was justified n he used it in the worst way but he changed for the better n that’s what matters but sayin nigga is a racist ass thing to do if you’ve never experienced how it feels to be treated differently just from being black n sayin nigga ain’t respecting our culture so nah but he’s changed that’s what matters still ion justify his ass sayin it🤷♂️😑
Zeb db people need to learn what the term racist means I can go up to my black friend and say what’s up my nigga and it’s not racist I can say nigga in a song and it’s not racist. Because I’m not using it in a hateful way or being prejudice towards him I’m using it in a friendly way towards a friend or singing it in a song if you don’t have hate behind your word it’s not racist

Thank you, Ethan. You didn’t have to say anything and you probably would have been better off by just allocating this to a podcast segment, but you took a stance loudly when you knew that your audience was going to have mixed reactions. Mega balls, man. You don’t always hit the mark but you’re obviously a person that self reflects and wants to do the right thing. Great moves, Ethan. Keep it up. Proud of you.
Honestly, as a man of color, my 1st reaction to seeing the notification for this vid was "idc about your experience with police, its gonna be about some preferential treatment and how cops are not bad people according to your experience". But I'm glad I watched this, and Im very proud to call myself a fan of H3H3. Papa bless Ethan you will forever be an ally. We all make mistakes, hypocrisy or not. Ethan 4 Prez
Honestly as a man of Finding this beginning to a sentence cringe, black lives matter doesn't care about you. They use you because they can. Don't be a sheep.
I think its weird that you automatically don't care about someone's experience with the police due to their race, without hearing a word they say about it first. Stay Divided
It doesn't make sense to them because they literally do not believe the house is on fire. If you look at polls, Fox News watchers (old white people) vehemently believe white christians are discriminated against the most. They live in a different universe
Bad analogy of the fire department putting out houses on fire unless you believe in treating people's worth as the social group they belong to instead of treating them as individuals. The fire department will put out the individual house that is on fire not the ones that are all blue, red, green, or purple.
Look up the stats. More unarmedwhites die from police than poc. Under 20unarmedpoc died from police in 2020. More poc die from constipation than by police. It's a non issue and the stats tell you everything.
Most people have an instant reaction to call the police when things go wrong but the truth is there are almost no situations where they can realistically help. I've been robbed at gunpoint and called the cops but they did nothing because it was too late. Your phone can't protect you.
@@Rounderyathecruel I had my bike and my guitar on me too but he didn't take those. He only took money, some weed and a few old itouch apple devices from my friends.
@Ashley i dont think that was what the commenter you replied to was implying but i agree with you. My old boss was reporting people to some gov't agency after the fact about fake bills worth as little as $20, and i was like ok dude, but to call the police immediately? Knowing the police do shit like this to people? Yikes. And if it happens more than 2-3 times you just get a counterfeit bill marker and have employees check each bill worth $20 or more. Simple. The police can't even do shit to help you or hinder the flow of fake money, they'll just "punish" someone who might not have even known what they did wrong.
yup, i remember that conversation with my mom. Ten the first time, the second time when i got my permit at 15 The line that I'll never forget. "Baby, the police arent on your side, when he talks to you, you reply 'yes officer' or 'no officer' and you make sure he can see both your hands." I appreciate this video Ethan, thank you for supporting us. It means a lot. All lives dont matter until black lives matter
Ben D. I’m sorry you have to go through that. Isn’t not something anyone should have worry about. Please be safe and fight on. Hopefully this will end soon
This talk shouldn't even have to be given to children in the first place. If police swear under the oath to serve and protect then why should people be afraid of the people protecting them?

When I used to work in banking, we had to take mandatory classes on currency & check counterfeiting. George Floyd probably had no idea that was a conterfeit bill. People spend them all the time without knowing it. Hell, if its a high quality conterfeit bill, even banks sometimes accept them & even hand them back out without knowing they are fakes. Most conterfeiters usually have the good sense not to spend them themselves- at least not with anyone likely to look for any of the watermarks & whatnot. Conterfeits also often change hands quite a bit before anyone catches them. The U.S. Treasury estimates around 70 million dollars in fake currency is in circulation at any given time. So, its statistically likely that George Floyd didn't even break the law to begin with. Not that it matters, because last I checked we don't execute people for confeiting.
@@ca6413 Exactly. I don't agree with anything that happened in the situation and he didn't deserve to die. Everything was fucked and the cop deserves to get the full punishment. But George Floyd was in and out of jail constantly, held a loaded gun to a pregnant woman's stomach during a break-in. His face and name should not be plastered everywhere as the face of the movement.
@@canunlu1879 can you read? Did I say he deserved what he happened? All I said is George floyd was definitely not a saint, and needs to be stopped being painted as a hero
C.A do you even hear yourself. Read the posts again and then look at your posts. They don't even have any relevance in the matter. You just look like an ass. People are not treated the same and you are talking of heroes? Go educate yourself because it seems right now you are blind.
I live in Germany. I saw a mom and her young son in a supermarket. The son was loud and hyperactive. Two policemen where also in the shop getting lunch. The mom told the son “Calm down or I am bringing you to the police and they’ll get angry at you for misbehaving!” The policeman noticed what she said and told her son “listen, We are not a punishment when you misbehave. We are the help whenever you need it. Don’t hesitate to ask us for help whenever you need it” sorry for my low level English but i think you get the point.
You’ve truly changed my views Ethan... thank you for bringing all of this to the attention of a whole community. For someone with a voice as heard as your’s you really do have the power to make a change in the common man, just as you did with myself today. Thank you, you’ve opened my eyes to an issue that I’ve only previously pushed aside due to how it was presented. With the way you presented it gave me such a hit of realism though. I only hope others can experience the same. We appreciate what you’re doing, thank you, Ethan.
The mob mentality against Ethan is so strong that this video has 7k dislikes so far, even though it's a completely relevant and well put together speech. It's almost like when people are preconditioned to disliked someone, or say, a group of people, they are inclined to treat those people differently and hold them up to unfair standards. Wonder if that has any weight on our society
So basically what you're saying is, Ethan should be allowed to say whatever backward, misinformed shit he wants without criticism. There are plenty of reasons to dislike this video, none of them having anything too do with race. Most of what he says in the video is either wildly inaccurate or just a complete appeal to emotion. But by all means, go on thinking the dislikes are from racists.
I only disliked the video because of his argument with his 5 cents about “All Lives Matter”. We are saying all lives matter not to degrade the importance of others but instead give a broader meaning to the central theme of america aka freedom and equality for all. Just because one house is burning doesnt mean we are saying that the house isnt just as important as the rest. What it means is that its important to keep all safe.
It's because Ethan didn't show a single second of evidence for any of the claims he made. Like for example the old man being tackled because he tried to return a police helmet conveniently didn't have any clip associated with it. And he also claimed that the people recording were begging for the officer to stop when in reality all they did was watch. I don't like the video because Ethan didn't cite his sources even ONCE
λaron C. This is a known video clip, mr logical skeptic. It’s assumed to be common knowledge. Maybe do a second of research before you go off and make a fool of yourself?
Tai Lopez but no lamborghini ill expain it more clearly: when people say “black lives matter” instead of “all lives”, it’s said to draw attention to the group whose lives are perceived to not matter as much. The stress is therefore put on the perceived devalued group. That said, it’s a rather petty hill to die on, no?
We say no to pay to win You have seen the videos of this Jewish mans podcast right? I’m assuming you know he shits on other religions based off of stereotypes and is actually serious for example “the Catholic Church just rapes kids that’s literally al they do” that’s who your defending.
“Sometimes a hypocrite is just a man in the process of changing” is something I’m going to remember. Great moves Ethan.
Every one matters.
Or he’s just a hypocrite, lol.
Even if you’re changing, you’d still be a hypocrite.
That's a quote from Oathbringer. Though it's a fictional story, it has some amazing quotes.
It is very true. People on the verge of changing often have contradicting ideas until they can come to a conclusion about what they believe.
Hate him or love him, Ethan speaks the truth when he says this

I live in Norway, and the police training takes 3-4 years to complete. The process include things like moral tests and how well a person handle stress. I think the way to end police brutality in the Us is to make it harder to become a police officer.
Thats how it is here in Norway and almost the entire population like and respects the police officers.
That's exactly how it should be
De kan være like store drittsekker som i USA, du røyker litt ræv å de behandle dæ som du e en morder
Germany (my homeland) also has much stricter requirements for police officers & people there are not afraid of them. Even where I am from, there are a lot of immigrants from Turkey and other countries and they aren't concerned about being racially profiled.
well that would kind of be an approach that would address all brutality, not just specifically black ones. Right now we keep pretending that this is a racial thing and there is a racial biad
Implying anyone respects Norwegian police.
Ever seen that funny video of the 4-5 Swedish police (3 of them blonde women) trying to handle 1 angry immigrant? He literally beat them all up and ran circles around them. The police were just standing there doing nothing. Useless.
Edit : Its true Sweden is more feminized then Norway, but the 2 countries are very much the same, and Norway is going down the same path as Sweden. Ive spent enough time in both countries to know. Its like comparing 2 neighbor states in the USA. Most americans can barely pick these countries out on a map.
There's also a big difference from living out in the country and in the big city. Most people that live in the city will tell you that its not a white country.
“sometimes a hypocrite is a man who is in the process of changing”
if we aren’t open minded towards people who are just ignorant and not bigoted, a lot of good that could be done is lost.
Because forcing white people to apologize for their skin color is of course not racism. I swear, more than 50% here are actual racists who genuinely hate white people based only on their skin color. This is a racist channel. No wonder it got so many dislikes.
@@AtheistReligionIsCancer nah, I remember when h3 made a video about MTV's racist video "dear white people" (or something like that) and criticized it for what it was.

okay yeah, that video was really cringy, you can talk about how white people should probably learn more about racism without blaming them for it and without accusing them of it.
I'm changing into a person who's becoming proud of his white coloured skin. I'm gonna have as many children as possible with a pale woman. And we'll all serve God, Jesus Christ and live our lives for Him with lots of guns and love etc etc.
I've worked retail for 6 years and have been handed counterfeit bills. We've never called the police. We hand the money back and cancel the transaction if they have no alternative payment. That's fucking crazy.
Same here I’d never call the police for that🤣 it doesn’t matter to me long as I don’t get in trouble for taking it
What happened to George Floyd was not ok In any sense! From reports and the phone call from the clerk, supposedly he was acting erratic. Both autopsy’s (even the one from his family) found meth in his system. I believe that’s the main reason for the call.
ReynaDaily even so, the response was in no way appropriate
boxy exactly. The police introduced violence into the situation, as they do in most situations.
Apparently the note was real too...
Reminder that just because someone committed a crime doesn’t mean their life is forfeit
more people need reminding of this. like, I remember hearing that Floyd might've hit his wife, and yeah of course he should get in trouble if he did that, but good lord man he wouldn't deserve death.

At its foundation, the acknowledgement of Black lives and fixing society so they can live in it without fear is - first and foremost - a humans’ rights issue. Arguing against what BLM stands for is denying the struggles and hardships of Black people in America.

yes sir!!
BLM is political though.
Sure buddy
Isn't it both?
Regardless of if he knew it was counterfeit he didn't deserve to die. And now we'll never know since he will never get a trial.

No. And not to mention that cop killed ANOTHER black man in the past. He did it before. George Floyd might not have been a wonderful man (which who are you to judge that) but he was still a MAN.

@@unknownrocketeer9289 who are you talking to
I'm sad to admit, for a brief time I was one of those people who said, "All lives matter" as a knee-jerk reaction to the BLM movement. However, I gave it a bit of thought and realized my assumptions had colored my response. I assumed black lives matter meant ONLY black lives matter. After an ounce of consideration, I realized the intent is black lives matter TOO. Don't let assumption cloud your judgement like I did, folks.
Its not wrong to think that. All lives do matter. They matter the same. Unfortionatly they dont right now. That is why blm. Make them equal..
👍
I used to think the same way. I still don't agree with everything the movement does but I definitely realise now how important their message is and what a long time coming this whole event has been.
I had the same mindset until I realised all lives won’t matter until black lives matter too
Ikr. I’ve suggested BLMT....but...
I overheard a conversation at work today “well he was no angel; he wasn’t such an innocent flower”...I’m a recovering addict who has been clean for 2 years. I’ve done some fucked up shit in my life but I’ve tried every day these last 2 years to be a better person.
It’s a scary thought though to think that if I were to get killed by a cop tomorrow that people might dig up my past to try to justify my death so it can fit their narrative. “He was a junkie piece of shit - he wasn’t so innocent”. Then again, I’m white so I probably have nothing to fear.
Good guy, bad guy, or somewhere in the middle, George Floyd was a human being who was murdered by the same people sworn to protect him. There’s really no justifying that.
It was definitely wrong for the cop to do what he did, and he shouldn't have been killed obviously. But I'm pretty sure Floyd had both assault and armed robbery in his criminal record, so.. not necessarily an angel. Drugs are one thing, but hurting people is wrong.
He could have been Hitler it doesn't give the police the right to become judge jury and executioner.

41 year old Black man here, this is my most memorable interaction with the police:
1992, 13 years old, at the park between my building and Willoughby, Marcy Houses, Brooklyn NY. I was playing 3 way catch with 2 other kids from my building. Two officers came up to us and told us to go inside since there was active tension between two local gangs. The next day my aunt told us that three men were shot near the park after we went inside. Two were gang members shot by rival gang members. The third was a maintenance man that got hit with a stray bullet.
After that, I associated cops with safety. I still do.
The vast majority of cops are good people. Some of them are assholes, but taking a couple incidents and judging the whole police force by them is ridiculous. People with stories like yours are so needed in these times. Thank you.

He was walking outside while having covid and he resisted arrest. He should not have died, but if someone is pointing out his mistakes, it's so that other people can learn. He did make mistskes, and its in everyones interest to admit that he did and learn from them instsad of just going all "muh racismus".
Oromie X so what you’re saying is mr Floyd should have trusted a man that was not only capable of, but eventually would, take his life over a $20 bill (fake or not, it doesn’t matter)…he might not be "guilty" until a jury finds him so, but we all have the right to look at the video evidence and come to that conclusion now. I can guarantee you wouldn’t make the same argument for the Boston Bomber or someone who killed a person, on video/security footage, while driving drunk. More people need to call this out for what is.…perhaps then the country wouldn’t be getting torn apart at the scenes.

When my late husband first became a firefighter, he was dispatched to a medical call. The cops had broken up a party and needed EMS for a arrested teenager. He was black and the cop was being horrible. They loaded him into the ambulance and the teen kept saying he couldnt breathe. The cop in the ambulance was in the way and my husband asked him to move. The cop saw the concern on my husbands face, laughed and said "They always say that. If you can say I cant breathe, you can fucking breathe" and my husband was shocked. When this happened to George floyd, that story came flooding back. How ignorant of that cop, with zero medical training, to laugh off someone saying they couldnt breathe and insist he must be lying because he can speak. Gross. Vile.
@Jerry The Predator 🤦♂️🤮🤮🤮🤮
This is also a thing in the medical field where sometimes doctors believe patients are lying and those same patients later on either die or develop worse conditions. It’s a shame these people who are suppose to help citizens abuse their power in such a way.
when I did EMT training i was told the same thing, that if someone can speak they can breath (not breath well but just in the literal sense). Speaking requires breath. Often when people are chocked out it’s not that they cant breath but that the blood circulation to their brain gets cut off. No matter what continuing to choke an unconscious person is murder.
@Jerry The Predator yeah, you're fake
@Jerry The Predator do you say that about everything that contradicts your opinion?
"When the looting starts, the shooting starts" means that if someone decides to trespass on private property and steal property that doesn't belong to them, the property owner has the right to defend their property. Maybe don't break into someone's business and loot it. If you break into my home or my family's home, expect to be shot. My stuff isn't your stuff so don't try to steal it.
The point is that people where not looting, they where protesting their people being killed.
@@Humannbeing “Their people”. We’re all people. I know you’re trying to say the police are racist. You probably also think modern day police originated from slave patrols and not from Sir Robert Peel in London. I’m also curious how you assume all police are racist when most LAPD officers are Hispanic, when plenty of agencies like Atlanta PD for example are made up of mostly black officers, and that police will lock someone up for committing a crime regardless of what race they are. Yes there are racist cops but that’s an extreme minority of officers. It sucks but it’s reality.

The Titan wat
The Titan what?!
I remember back in 2016 during RUclips’s ~edgy/offensive~ phase, Ethan got shit on for basically just explaining what Black Lives Matter means in response to a tone-deaf “all lives matter” prank video. There was so much backlash he had to make a whole response video. I’m just glad that in regards to this issue he’s really been consistent, and this video shows that
The whole message behind Black Lives Matter is that black lives matter too, not black lives only matter. Only problem is that there is not a large amount of people who think black lives don't matter. Basically anyone with any kind of influence is outright supporting BLM, and the only people we see actually being racist and acting like black lives don't matter are a few random trolls and kids trying to be edgy.
The main statistic used to "prove" how racist the police are is how black people only make up 13% of the population, but nearly 25% of deaths by police. But usually BLM prefers to focus on specific cases and stories, and if you bring up any statistics showing more of the picture, you're deemed a racist. So instead of bringing up another race statistic, I'll show a different perspective. Men in the US make up 49% of the population, but 95% of deaths by police. This disparity is enormous, especially compared to the difference with the black population. Is there a problem with systemic sexism against men? Is the police force full of sexists who hate men? Are men being "hunted down in the streets"? Based on these statistics, plus most of the individual stories, isn't sexism a much bigger problem in the police than racism? If the answer to any of these is no, why? If you think that a 46% difference between population and deaths can be explained without sexism, or by more than just sexism, then why can't a 12% difference by explained by more than racism?
Supreme_Court
Not really into the statistics, not even American, and I’m really trying to stay neutral, but with that said nothing irks me more than racism.
I would like to believe it because there is a great difference between men and women, just biologically and culturally, but there shouldn’t be that much difference between to men, of different color. Yet, we are treated very differently, by each other, and often worse.
@@Wollenbear so sexism is OK and racism is bad? I'm sorry but both problems are EQUALLY as important!!
@@Supreme_Court. But there are distinct differences biologically and culturally between men and women that can explain that. Men do have more testosterone than women, which can elevate situations and confrontations with police officers, making it more likely for officers to shoot men than women. It's pretty clear that men tend to be more aggressive than women. Is it right for the police to be shooting and killing as many people as they are in general? Probably not, no. However, when it comes to the argument of why men are shot by police more than women, the argument of testosterone and aggression makes sense. It does not make sense, however, when applying that logic to black deaths by police. Black people are not statistically proven to produce more testosterone than white people. There is no explanation for it besides racism.
@@LargeMikel There are biological and cultural differences between blacks and whites in America. you mentioned men have more testosterone than women, black men also have more testosterone than white men, this is a fact, i don't know why you assume this can't be, you outright mention that it's not proven, why do you think that, even just anecdotally you should be able to see that west Africans have more muscle and deeper voices and stuff.

"He tripped and fell" was something the Apartheid Police used to say when they killed Resistance fighters in South Africa during Apartheid.
To be fair the resistance fighters were also communist terrorists and among other things planted mines on civillian land, shot up shopping centres, bombed religious structures, bombed restaurants, and more importantly murdered more blacks than the Apartheid police ever did, according to the ANC's own findings in the TRC reports.
But yeah no, it's totally comparable.

I Van well that would also be considered breaking and entering into private property and possibly an actual threat. If someone ever were to go smash a window and steal things from a store normally, though, there would definitely be legal consequences but death would definitely not be it. I think there’s a pretty obvious distinction between what you said and what is happening with the looters. Plus, if a person did rob a house and got caught, they also would not be punished with death.
Ethan probably doesn’t even feel this way about this topic. He’s probably been pressured into making this statement because he knows he’ll get less views if he states his actual thoughts. It’s sad.

So when the cops came inside checking everyone's IDs my brother told me to go hide in his garage. I was pretty drunk so i figured I should hide under his car. Later, a cop came in the garage & turned the lights on, I watched his boots walk in closer to the point where he stood right by where I was hiding under the car. Then, the cop said "you do realize your entire body is sticking out from under the car and only your head is under the car". The cop laughed a lot, turned around, turned the lights off and walked out of the garage and just let me be.

Arguments about George Floyd's character, whether true or false, are completely irrelevant. The cop didn't know about Floyd's past when he took him to the ground.
True, but this is true for the individual cops involved not being a representation of the entire police force
I'm not saying that racism isn't an obvious issue in police forces all over the world, but it's not a systemic problem with the structure of the police itself and is rather a problem of individuals who join the police, although i will agree that the fact these people make it into the force is a problem unto itself
good point. doesn't mean all cops are bad and people still seem to believe that even after 12 months of this ignorance.
It's a systemic problem. People talks about bad apples to defend and to try to make these situations look as isolated cases, while the reality is the system is completely rotten. The police as a force unit has covered these reports in the past, only accepting the word of the police officer/s involved as the final evidence and they don't even care about investigating what happened, without these public recordings this most likely was going to end up as he resisted and threatened the officers, so, they had to do it, same old story.

4 years ago the police barged into my apartment while I was alone with my 5 year old son watching a movie, had their hands on the guns, accused me of domestic violence and harboring a criminal, searched my whole apartment without consent or a warrant, yelled at and threatened me and accused me of lying, screamed “WHERE IS HE?! Where is he?! Stop lying!” all in front of my 5 year old, off of the call of a tweaking white drug addict neighbor who said she heard a man screaming in my apartment when no one besides my son and I had ever been there. I was a single mom living alone, I had no boyfriend, no one was ever at my place. Even if there was a domestic issue the fact that they treated me and my son that way was horrifying.
Maybe it was a coincidence I was the only brown person living in the hall, maybe not. I can’t even imagine how things would have went if I was black. I can’t imagine the fear Breonna Taylor must have felt. To have the “authority” yell at and accuse you of lying while they search your property and with guns in hand, and you cry and tell them you have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about, it’s a feeling of helplessness and fear that’s hard to explain.

My father was related in gangs during my early childhood (until he passed away when I was eight years old) and one of my earliest memories are of the police barging into my house to detain my father. I would say I was scared to death, and all I remember are the shadows of men being aggressive. In the end, he was still my father, and life continued as normal. My situation would have ended with either my father being imprisoned or killed on the spot, both of which wouldn't have left my mother or any part of my family with a fighting chance.
I am shocked that it took me this long to start to truly see the bigger picture that is Black Lives Matter.
Even with my father passing away early on, I had a great childhood, had a gaming console, to put it simply, I was well taken care of. I have only my family to thank for that.

I feel like people that don't respect black people and their culture, just because of their skin color, are actually racist. But Ethan has always shown his respect for everyone. Still he may have made someone upset, so it's still a good thing to apologise for that, but it ain't that much hypocrite. Big love to all of you, have a good day!
this^
I feel like he had to say that or else people would try to invalidate him. Because a lot of people for some reason or another actually think Ethan is a bad person which makes me sad
@GG kk Even black people say the N word
Nahhh I don’t think him using the n word was justified n he used it in the worst way but he changed for the better n that’s what matters but sayin nigga is a racist ass thing to do if you’ve never experienced how it feels to be treated differently just from being black n sayin nigga ain’t respecting our culture so nah but he’s changed that’s what matters still ion justify his ass sayin it🤷♂️😑
Zeb db people need to learn what the term racist means I can go up to my black friend and say what’s up my nigga and it’s not racist I can say nigga in a song and it’s not racist.
Because I’m not using it in a hateful way or being prejudice towards him I’m using it in a friendly way towards a friend or singing it in a song if you don’t have hate behind your word it’s not racist
I support h3h3 in his internet war cuz atleast he admits when he is wrong.
that's not really a reason to support someone
What about all the stuff in the video he was wrong about that he'll probably never admit to?
Not really
bro that isn't relevant to this video
He is wrong. When will he admit it?
I’d love to see leafy survive in today’s climate.
yeah me too ya simp

Thank you, Ethan. You didn’t have to say anything and you probably would have been better off by just allocating this to a podcast segment, but you took a stance loudly when you knew that your audience was going to have mixed reactions. Mega balls, man.
You don’t always hit the mark but you’re obviously a person that self reflects and wants to do the right thing. Great moves, Ethan. Keep it up. Proud of you.
? XDDD wow
😂😂😂
Honestly, as a man of color, my 1st reaction to seeing the notification for this vid was "idc about your experience with police, its gonna be about some preferential treatment and how cops are not bad people according to your experience". But I'm glad I watched this, and Im very proud to call myself a fan of H3H3. Papa bless Ethan you will forever be an ally. We all make mistakes, hypocrisy or not. Ethan 4 Prez
Agreed. He should retitle it as it seems like it's going to be a BIG Yikes. However, it's actually a fine vid
cringe
Honestly as a man of Finding this beginning to a sentence cringe, black lives matter doesn't care about you. They use you because they can. Don't be a sheep.
Michaelcarroll1 no u
I think its weird that you automatically don't care about someone's experience with the police due to their race, without hearing a word they say about it first. Stay Divided
So many “all lives matter” people hear the house fire analogy and still don’t get it. How does that not make sense?
Because they were never being honest in the first place it was just an obfuscation to muddy the waters and waste time.
It doesn't make sense to them because they literally do not believe the house is on fire. If you look at polls, Fox News watchers (old white people) vehemently believe white christians are discriminated against the most. They live in a different universe
It's not the idea they don't understand, it's the outcome they don't like.
All lives matter.
Bad analogy of the fire department putting out houses on fire unless you believe in treating people's worth as the social group they belong to instead of treating them as individuals. The fire department will put out the individual house that is on fire not the ones that are all blue, red, green, or purple.
I feel like my dad just sat me down to have a conversation about the world

Bro... that's deep
Look up the stats.
More unarmedwhites die from police than poc.
Under 20unarmedpoc died from police in 2020.
More poc die from constipation than by police.
It's a non issue and the stats tell you everything.
@@ClickClack_Bam the stats are proportionate to population. White people outnumber black people in the US. Common sense
@@ClickClack_Bam provide the evidence. Not text - evidence.
Most people have an instant reaction to call the police when things go wrong but the truth is there are almost no situations where they can realistically help. I've been robbed at gunpoint and called the cops but they did nothing because it was too late. Your phone can't protect you.
Exactly, that’s why people should have a fire arm for self protection
@@Rounderyathecruel haha so you plan to get in a shoot off? That's not for me. I just gave him the little money I had.
@@Rounderyathecruel I had my bike and my guitar on me too but he didn't take those. He only took money, some weed and a few old itouch apple devices from my friends.
@@scotts4298 you'd rather lose like $500 of property instead of coping with the burden of murder? What are you, a fucking snowflake?
@Ashley i dont think that was what the commenter you replied to was implying but i agree with you. My old boss was reporting people to some gov't agency after the fact about fake bills worth as little as $20, and i was like ok dude, but to call the police immediately? Knowing the police do shit like this to people? Yikes.
And if it happens more than 2-3 times you just get a counterfeit bill marker and have employees check each bill worth $20 or more. Simple. The police can't even do shit to help you or hinder the flow of fake money, they'll just "punish" someone who might not have even known what they did wrong.
yup, i remember that conversation with my mom. Ten the first time, the second time when i got my permit at 15 The line that I'll never forget. "Baby, the police arent on your side, when he talks to you, you reply 'yes officer' or 'no officer' and you make sure he can see both your hands." I appreciate this video Ethan, thank you for supporting us. It means a lot. All lives dont matter until black lives matter
Foh
Ben D. I’m sorry you have to go through that. Isn’t not something anyone should have worry about. Please be safe and fight on. Hopefully this will end soon
This talk shouldn't even have to be given to children in the first place. If police swear under the oath to serve and protect then why should people be afraid of the people protecting them?
💚
fireland47
Exactly, just shows the fault that police officers can have, the fact that this talk even needs to be brought up is just sad
Lowkey an excuse for Ethan to brag about how fat his bong is
Clout
Miles Zarick guys, I kid u not my amazing bong 3 foot bong w 3 different percs an ice catcher n a recycler was legit in the back of my trunk which I owned
bruh 😂😂😂
This video is so fake. The left got to him and forced him to make a video addressing George Floyd.
When I used to work in banking, we had to take mandatory classes on currency & check counterfeiting. George Floyd probably had no idea that was a conterfeit bill. People spend them all the time without knowing it. Hell, if its a high quality conterfeit bill, even banks sometimes accept them & even hand them back out without knowing they are fakes. Most conterfeiters usually have the good sense not to spend them themselves- at least not with anyone likely to look for any of the watermarks & whatnot. Conterfeits also often change hands quite a bit before anyone catches them. The U.S. Treasury estimates around 70 million dollars in fake currency is in circulation at any given time. So, its statistically likely that George Floyd didn't even break the law to begin with. Not that it matters, because last I checked we don't execute people for confeiting.
George floyd had an extensive criminal history. People need to stop painting him as a martyr
C A what’s your point? It was ok what happened to him? You rat. Maybe try to think about why he had a criminal record
@@ca6413 Exactly. I don't agree with anything that happened in the situation and he didn't deserve to die. Everything was fucked and the cop deserves to get the full punishment. But George Floyd was in and out of jail constantly, held a loaded gun to a pregnant woman's stomach during a break-in. His face and name should not be plastered everywhere as the face of the movement.
@@canunlu1879 can you read? Did I say he deserved what he happened? All I said is George floyd was definitely not a saint, and needs to be stopped being painted as a hero
C.A do you even hear yourself. Read the posts again and then look at your posts. They don't even have any relevance in the matter. You just look like an ass. People are not treated the same and you are talking of heroes? Go educate yourself because it seems right now you are blind.
that firefighting analogy is a good one
Your kid will be proud of you homie, good message.
@Dee Vee cringe
Sunshine In Africa nice meme, you got 4 upvotes for saying cringe
I wouldn’t
@Dee Vee BLM isn't about looting or crime. People who take advantage of the situation are not apart of BLM. Next caller!
Orange man bad.
I live in Germany. I saw a mom and her young son in a supermarket. The son was loud and hyperactive. Two policemen where also in the shop getting lunch. The mom told the son “Calm down or I am bringing you to the police and they’ll get angry at you for misbehaving!” The policeman noticed what she said and told her son “listen, We are not a punishment when you misbehave. We are the help whenever you need it. Don’t hesitate to ask us for help whenever you need it” sorry for my low level English but i think you get the point.
Your english is perfectly fine, dont worry 🤙
@@Scottfromscotlandx Thanks, Osama
temp orary
Have you been to Germany in the last decade sir
and then everyone started clapping
You see the police in Germany is different than the racist ones here in the USA
You’ve truly changed my views Ethan... thank you for bringing all of this to the attention of a whole community. For someone with a voice as heard as your’s you really do have the power to make a change in the common man, just as you did with myself today. Thank you, you’ve opened my eyes to an issue that I’ve only previously pushed aside due to how it was presented. With the way you presented it gave me such a hit of realism though. I only hope others can experience the same. We appreciate what you’re doing, thank you, Ethan.
Great!!! Now please go sign all the petitions & March with us! 😊
I am so happy to Ethan was the reason for you to start recognizing the flaws
now go out and kiss some black shoes to apologize. because nothing beats racism better than racism
DoNotTrust - exaggerating your opponents like this makes you look worse than them in the long-run
Good lad.
The mob mentality against Ethan is so strong that this video has 7k dislikes so far, even though it's a completely relevant and well put together speech.
It's almost like when people are preconditioned to disliked someone, or say, a group of people, they are inclined to treat those people differently and hold them up to unfair standards. Wonder if that has any weight on our society
So basically what you're saying is, Ethan should be allowed to say whatever backward, misinformed shit he wants without criticism. There are plenty of reasons to dislike this video, none of them having anything too do with race. Most of what he says in the video is either wildly inaccurate or just a complete appeal to emotion. But by all means, go on thinking the dislikes are from racists.
I only disliked the video because of his argument with his 5 cents about “All Lives Matter”. We are saying all lives matter not to degrade the importance of others but instead give a broader meaning to the central theme of america aka freedom and equality for all. Just because one house is burning doesnt mean we are saying that the house isnt just as important as the rest. What it means is that its important to keep all safe.
It's because Ethan didn't show a single second of evidence for any of the claims he made. Like for example the old man being tackled because he tried to return a police helmet conveniently didn't have any clip associated with it. And he also claimed that the people recording were begging for the officer to stop when in reality all they did was watch.
I don't like the video because Ethan didn't cite his sources even ONCE
λaron C. This is a known video clip, mr logical skeptic. It’s assumed to be common knowledge. Maybe do a second of research before you go off and make a fool of yourself?
Tai Lopez but no lamborghini ill expain it more clearly: when people say “black lives matter” instead of “all lives”, it’s said to draw attention to the group whose lives are perceived to not matter as much. The stress is therefore put on the perceived devalued group. That said, it’s a rather petty hill to die on, no?
Why are people hating? He wasn't being selfish or trying to promote teddy fresh, the video is not monitized.
because lots of people disagree with ethan
Because people just like to shit on Ethan. It's like a hobby for them.
Because bigots unfortunately still exist.
@@zarahgates3695 what disagree that racism is bad?
We say no to pay to win You have seen the videos of this Jewish mans podcast right? I’m assuming you know he shits on other religions based off of stereotypes and is actually serious for example “the Catholic Church just rapes kids that’s literally al they do” that’s who your defending.
