How can you sit there and say I hate you but I love you then hug each other I can't see how you can do both you can hate what they kind of look at her stand for maybe some of their beliefs but how can you just particularly hate them and love them it's just that don't make no sense that's kind of double standards it's like what I'm telling you I love you to make you feel better but I really hate you I'm going to sugarcoat it alright peace
For a pastor to say religion is dangerous and divides us is amazingly honest...the relationship with God is what counts....I love his willingness to watch and discuss this
im christian but your the type of athiest that i don't mind you respect us for us and intern most of us try too have the same graditude too you sorry for typos
Lord Albrus I Thank you worded that very nicely I’m a Christian but I love the fact that you weren’t throwing any cheap shots do you have a Lotta respect coming from California
if you're black and get mad at the first part and hype at the second, you didn't get the point of the song if you're white and get hype at the first part and mad at the second, you didn't get the point of the song
The fact that history has brought us to the point where we have to create songs like this brings tears to my eyes because we all humans..creations of the most high.
I'm not an American. but I was a little surprised the Pastor's son didn't think to correct his father on his comment about black people being somehow better off in America than they would have been in Africa. It's a poor attempt to silver-line slavery. Any country, or in this case continent that loses in massive numbers its able bodied men and women would be adversely affected in a significant way for decades if not hundreds of years. Less we forget many African states were still under the cruel, racist and inhuman conditions created by colonialism. Lets also remember that the Apartheid system in South Africa came to an end less than three decades ago.
@@reddroid8499 did i say that you white boy? No I didn’t we sold our own to whites, almost every country had slaves, America just has white people so y’all wanna say there the only one who’s wrong for having slaves
I am from South Africa, the same issues Joyner is addressing in this song has happened here but in a different form during the apartheid era, Africa might not be as well developed as American might seem but no African person gets shot for being a different shade of skin colour.. but the way in which cops have killed African Americans in the USA is very shocking makes you wonder if oppression and discrimination has come to an end or is it being bred in a different manner than it was during the days of slavery..
@@iamm.freiix777 there was never white genocide in Africa, the problem is accepting that some white Americans still have racist tendencies, from where I sit I can't say I know how thing are going over there but it seems like African Americans are being wiped out...
@@thinalmutshena267 my dude that’s so wrong that’s a stereotype he loves his people he gave a 1,000 raise to every person and Biden is trying to take money away from the Americans man what you here online and what you study he’s America’s best bet and plus Biden is talking about not fracking he’s such a liar
Your dad is great. We make our own barriers, we don’t have to build bridges to recognize we need to tear barriers down. Powerful song. Check out Tom Macdonald for a different perspective on the same issue.
the rap was using strong laungauge too show you that people that mad at eachother be it about race or anything can get along if they understand the sides of both people thats why they hugged its too show that we are all the same but equally as different
I dont agree with the dad, he saying he over looks color, that's like ignoring a part of me. He never actually addresses the racism that happens today, the racism that takes lives. Anyway that my opinion, thanks for making the video and sharing ur opinions.
Wtf, so you want to be seperated by your race or not? Choose your shit. If everyone was actually acting like he said he was which we don't know, then there was no racism.
Well thanks you for bieng so rude u pricks, the color of my skin is a part of my culture you fricking dumbasses. We are different and I'm saying we should appreciate that instead of forcing everyone into one category. Next time u reply to a comment be respectful, I'm not ur fucking friend, dont be disrespectful just because you dont agree.
I think he’s saying if we were all skeletons, we knew our skin colour before but couldn’t tell anybody, the world would be much more peaceful. No one is born racist, no one is born saying “I’m white” or “I’m black”, we are told that we are white or black or yellow or brown, like a label that separates us.
Hahahah dad jokes... I still love these tho... The chemistry is awesome!!!! He totally embraces being the dad! And he's obviously so proud of you! He should be. He did/does a great job!
Illest Faded but your tribes have also been killing each other that entire time, I’m not blaming any of this on you specifically. But saying that you’ve been surviving, praising that kind of behavior, it isn’t right. I’m sure you’re a great person, but again, praising that behavior isn’t right, the same way I wouldn’t praise the people in the South for doing what they did (slaves).
Adam Carmen tribes🙄😂,you should really read more on the mother continent ,I don’t blame you they probably don’t teach you guys everything I bet your part of the Africa is a jungle movement 😂,there’s no praise my g war was war kingdoms fought to expand territory and gain influence like everywhere else in the world don’t get it twisted I was just identifying the current times we live in ,and I say it with my chest out that I’d rather stay here coz 1st world countries have illusive freedom 🚶🏾♂️🚶🏾♂️that’s just my own perspective point of view so whatever your response was, it was always going to be regarded as null and void ,no offense.
Illest Faded I was referring to the tribes that raped children, and women. And of course this wasn’t exclusive to Africa (the Native Americans also did this) but I didn’t understand you were talking about recent times. My apology.
@@ascarmen42 You do realize that rape and murder happens here in America right? In fact America is number one in those categories so ima need you to educate yourself. You talk about Africa like they're still using spears and huts. What u don't realize is that life started there and they got cities just like us. The have skyscrapers and I'm pretty sure the tallest building in the world is in the middle East so don't u ever say that they're better off here. Cause there's one thing I can assure you of, and thats the fact in Africa a cop will never kill someone just cause they're black. Can't say the same about here tho. Its all we see on the news. Educate yourself and then come back to me.
I'm an atheist and came across this video while watching other reactions to "I'm not racist". I was obviously intrigued to see a Pastor's reaction to it. I grew up in the south, the bible-belt, and have experienced a lot of different religions, and came to my conclusion of atheism. It has made me the black sheep in a lot of scenario's but it's something I stand by. My husband believes but does not go to church. I respect and admire his PERSONAL faith and love for God, while he respects my views that there is no "God". We both agree that organized religion has tainted and poisoned the masses to a degree that is almost criminal in some ways. Anyway, I said all of that to say this, I decided to read some of the comments before hitting play and was happy to read your quote from the reaction. Now I can't wait to watch it. I hope you have a wonderful week! ♥
Dephii Hi! I’m glad that my comment made you fell something😄. And I have to agree with your latter statement. I’m a Christian and even I can see that people use God and Jesus’ name in ways that turn people away. It’s quite horrible actually. It’s like... people try so hard to force their existence down other people’s throats, that they miss the fact the all people need to hear is the truth; maybe have a conversation if the person is open, and then let God handle the rest. Like my comment for example, I wasn’t expecting anyone to be impacted by it, but I’m really glad to have heard a little bit of your story on how Christianity has affected you. Anyway, I hope you liked the actual song too. It brought up a lot of hard topics and truths on both sides. Even though what’s being said doesn’t apply to the entirety of each race, we all know it’s true to some extent. Thank you for wishing me a great week (which it will be once I take my grad and prom pics with my friends tomorrow at a park😝), I hope you have on too, as well as an awesome life! God bless😊
Your dad worded that part about where black people ‘came from’ very wrong. He’s basically saying black people where better off in Africa. plus he said that as if all black people came from ‘Africa’ and that’s just crazy to me
Amen and amen! I like the part you said about religion. I'm a Christian myself and strongly dislike religion. Religion is what killed Jesus IMO. I call my Christian faith a relationship, not a religion.
@Trevor Eastman Guitar I was confused because you said you do not like religion so I was not sure if you associate with the church or the bible. My bad.
@@phillewis3180 you're good. I associate more with the Bible than anything though. If I'm being honest, it's been a long time since I've attended church.
Lord Albrus basically said exactly what I was thinking *I am an athiest, but Dad is the exact kind of Christian that I love and respect. What a great guy. Thoughtful, and caring. Much love from Canada.* Except for the Canada part lol
My opinion is that we can only walk in our own shoes. We will never fully understand each other, but it shouldn't stop us from trying and not judging. There might be truth to both sides, but if there is hate and violence involved it becomes wrong.
I'm not sure if you and your dad are still making videos but if you are you should react to "Valley of decision" by K-Rino. I think K is a great example of the difference between mainstream rap and what rap could be.
It's a good point that the viewpoints of *both* sides might not be enough to create a true understanding. As long as there's a loud minority that will never accept peace and understanding, there's going to be problems in society. Promote love, not hate.
Saying colorless is the same as denying black people the point isn’t not to see color but to see past just color there’s nothing wrong with being brown, black, mixed or white acknowledge the difference respectively and treat them equally and then go about your life simple concept
Did I just hear the pastor trying to justify slavery by saying that Black people are better off in America than they would’ve been in their country that is absolutely disgusting and ignorant I pray that God gave him wisdom and understanding as to how Africa got robbed of their natural resources and still is being robbed
I think one thing to keep in mind about the "better off in africa" question is, Africa *had* cultures, still does, had empires in its borders. Europeans colonized, enslaved, destroyed these cultures, stole people and riches. Still do if you look at the blood diamonds and the horrible industries being built there. If Europe never came and invaded africa? I can guarantee it'd be a better place to live today than now. That's not the reality we live in tho.
Then africa would've moved to colonize further and expand. Like all countries did and still do. Not saying that what happened isnt wrong, the destruction of culture and continued oppression of africans/african americans over time and into the modern world is a terrible thing and things should be changed due to that aswell as reparations to the system and whatnot.
Watching this commentary made me sad....a preacher that says coming to America as a slave ended up being better than staying in their original country.....plus using religion as a bridge to what...look at what sits in the pews.....diversity, equality/human rights for all? I have not seen this yet coming from those who practice it....why? Hatred for change runs deep, plus racism period.
at the start of the video the person rapping is giving the perspectives of the white people on what they think of black people and then did the opposite on the black person who was then giving their perspective on what they think of white people
i honestly love this channel. these guys are great, the pastor is amazing for being cool about the profanity and shit and i really appreciate that. hes a cool dude and that kind of shit really promotes his character and his faith. most religious ma fuckers are stuck up assholes and i dont like it. i dont 100% believe what he believes but its his unbiased perspective and experienced insight that really solidify his character and strength in the Lord he has so much faith in. on the second note, i think humanity is a plague thats soon to be wiped out, the majority of us are corrupt and toxic, its unfortunate but it is what it is. we all need to learn to love each other and come together. sounds damn near impossible but we gotta do that shit, corona and corruption, etc, is gonna kill us all, we gotta make the best of what time we have left
Dad, dad, dad SMH the "are AA's better off here than in Afica" comment was soooo disappointing and shows just how far some of our white brothers and sisters are from understanding the black experience and perspective. Whether AAs would be better off in Africa has nothing to do with their story here in the US. It does not negate the horror story that is their story in THIS country. Please, never say that again. And btw, maybe go to Africa and experience ALL of it for yourself before painting it as one big hell hole. There's a whole more to the continent than the snippets you see on mainstream media. You really should know this already, Pastor.
I get he’s saying his perspective the way he sees people is colorless however if you don’t see me as a black person you rlly don’t see me at all but I like the reaction so far
So this is 9months old but can I ask why? I can understand asking for appreciation and consideration for your culture and history, but making distinctions based on an arbitrary evolutionary adaption to differing climates is essentially the root of all of our species problems. Surely seeing everyone as human and equal is the end goal? I dont see any of my friends as their race, I honestly think that would be a betrayal of the friendship, I see them as my friends and as my friends I have had the courtesy to learn about and embrace their various histories and cultures, because those are what matters, because those are what my friends identify with and in some cases define them.
Does this dude really think he's asking philosophical questions? Because he's really not, they are just preaching Christianity and not saying the word "racism"
VonUpNext Even if there were more opportunities in America that doesn’t make up for the fact that Africans were forced to come here to be enslaved that’s kind of degrading.
Jayden Lenzy yeah and just because it ended up better in America doesn’t mean white people had anything to do with it black people had to make a life,they weren’t given anything they were taken and forced into torture i mean really who knows if Africa would’ve had it better if they never took slaves in the first place and i hate when people are like well it’s better here so what stop deflecting the actual issue and ACKNOWLEDGE!! I mean shit they were considered 3/5 of a person for Christ sakes
Bless this dad. I love his outlook on how Joyner made the white guy feel about black people. However, he may be a bit stuck in his bubble. I don’t know how much traveling he’s done, but there are a LOT of places where that type of person isn’t just the one in crowd the media picks up. It’s unfortunate. And there are even more, uglier places where bigot white people think their skin color in some way makes them superior. Insane that people actually have that mindset. When he says people would tell him oh he shouldn’t go over there and his thought is “people are people”, the sentiment is amazing. But the reality is people are dangerous. Some people don’t care about who you are or your life. They’ll ruin yours to steal from you. Or even take your life. People are people - which means they are flawed. Some greater than others. Not to go to certain areas isn’t a racial thing. It’s a safety thing. There are unsafe black areas, unsafe Latin areas, unsafe white areas, unsafe Asian areas.... unsafe is unsafe.
I would argue that america is the greatest country on earth. Here in scotland it dont matter what colour you are. We are all poor and hate the government haha
It's funny that you say the white dude is stereotyping. In all the reaction videos I saw, black people say things along the lines of "A lot of what he says is true, a lot of black people are like that, and it's kind of sad."
Considering the slave trade often fueled wars because everyone was trying to avoid being the people that would be enslaved and it also took many educated people with it from different places I’d think Africa would have been better and African Americans happier had it not happen and had they been in africa at the very least we would have avoided colonialism for another century As far as religion goes that’s iffy to me the British and southern plantation owners had two things in common using Christianity to pacify those they wanted to control and enslave
"Be grateful you're here, even though we make you start everything 20 yards behind everyone else to keep you in poverty, because it would be worse in Africa," is.....cringy AF.
