Smokey Robinson - Black American (2020) 

Sadly, in these days, someone that respects all of humanity is becoming all too rare as division is being pushed yet again.

So ALL LIVES MATTER?

My wife worked the phones at a casino years ago and she said Smokey called down from his room to request something and she always remembered just how friendly and kind he was, during their short conversation.

8 Unfortunate, tortured, souls. Pity them.

Haters gonna hate. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️👍🏾💪🏾🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

12 out of 13 of those people using a hard R... 😭

Yes he is amazing and far wiser than any politician or BLM or Jessie Jackson or Al Sharpton. The Great Smokey Robinson did more for music and the black Community than any since him.

They couldn't see through the tears in their eyes and were aiming for the thumbs up 😄

hello Griselda, hope you're having a blissful day..

Smokey's main point was that he loves being an American.

I love being an American. 🙋🏽‍♂️💪🏾🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Yep ... Bleach skin and straighten hair That’s why I love being black Naw..👁✊🏻

@@isartoraplatz You do realize that some black people have lighter skin with out bleaching ? And some of us have looser texture or straight hair without using a relaxer? And some of us have lighter colored eyes and still identify as black?

God Bless.You. I'm Black And I'm 👏 Proud. Thank God!!

Spanish is a nationality, Black is a race, Taina is the name of a person who is in the Taino tribe. They not races, learn the difference

@@latifahdwight1182 since you know the difference then you know that she is aboriginal just like us and is a original American. So let’s stop the bs.

It's like you guys watched the video but didn't hear any of it.

@@latifahdwight1182 Black is a color. Racist European colonizers gave people of the past that name based on their skin COLOR. I guarantee you if those colonizers took slaves from another continent that wasn't Africa but they still happen to have brown skin, they would've called them black, negro, the N word, etc. It's name stemmed from discrimination of SKIN COLOR. It's not a RACE.

Me either at all!!

Don't forget, you are an AMERICAN. He rightly points out that there are infinite shades, each as beautiful as the next. "American" is a blessing.

Amen!!.To That. Born and Raised In America 🇺🇸 👏 ❤️ ❤️

Great quote Mr. Herbst💯💯💯

Wait wait wait... he's 80? I knew he was a good bit older than me, but he looks and sounds like he's in his 50's.

I love your comment Monica. That was pure class from Smokey.

Everyone's chocolate, just different shades.

Great message. But that is not what the elites wants. They wants to make us hate each others Disgusting

All credit goes to Mr. Elijah Muhammad who taught us that Black is Beautiful in complete opposition to our slave masters telling us that Black was a curse!👍

I remember when he first said this on Def Poetry back around 03 or so.

Amazing !!! I was super surprised to see him on the show. ​@@sickofguysnamedtodd2293

1000%

Jessie jackson came up with african american

@@richarddaniel2836 African American actually predates Jesse Jackson. It was a way for the descendants of slaves in America to have their own ethnic group and represent themselves.

Nope we were called black before Jessie

Your people were brought here from Africa. You should honor your ancestors. "Americans" you aren't. White , European Americans aren't either

hello Vicki, hope you're having a blissful day..

Easy to understand, This message doesn't follow the agenda, and listen to how the crowd responded in full agreement. Also Smokey originally did this poem years ago...it's not new, this version is, but only maybe the first minute has been added.

Then the job is not worth having a beautiful soul such as yours

That's a shame that we've created spaces at our job that we hate and can't be ourselves at!! This woke shit destroys all it touches! I'd hate to be forced into work again! I'm retired . God Bless you

hello Emily, hope you're having a blissful day..

mindddd..

Yes it is a shade...and its sad...cause your roots cant be that bad.

Sigh...

Sounds a tiny bit like Kendrick’s voice and pacing.

Love you brother. ❤️ 🇧🇸 🇺🇸

hello Ann, hope you're having a blissful day..

Amen

The left doesn't want anyone to have friends... Just enemies. I'm not z conspiracy theorist but I honestly think China is funding this to divide America.

The Democrats are dividing us too because they can't win the white vote

Mate, Oh brother here we go with the good old " Let's blame the left and the Democrats for the division in the USA. How bloody disingenuous When the last 4 years The United States had a criminal con artist and his contingent of GOP enablers raise up arms and join forces with the bigots from the cesspool of society ( The Proud boys, White Nationalists etc....) and say they were taking America back. A con artist who called Black NFL players Sons of Bitches, referred to black congress women as dogs, told the proud Boys to stand ready..... just to name a few of his more infamous public quotes. It certainly wasn't Democrats making those statements. It certainly wasn't Democrats categorizing White Nationalists as very fine people 🙄. Mate this alternative reality nonsense about the left put forth by a "certain" contingent of dedicated sods has really worn out its welcome.

🙋🏽‍♂️✌🏾👍🏾💪🏾🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Me also my ancestors were Irish, slaves. Native American Cherokee and Black Foot. Some came on their own but not all. Some were already here. I'm a human American drop the labels 🏷. Labels are for bodies in a mortuary so they don't cremate the wrong idiot. LOL

This is one poem that brings us all together. It is the exact opposite of the narrative being pushed on us. Thank you, Mr Smokey

I feel good listening to truth!!

God bless you and God bless America! ✌🏾👍🏾💪🏾🧡🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

hello Audrey, hope you're having a blissful day..
