Sidam did a really good job
@@mygrandmahasbetterbreathth5309 No, Flamingo is not real at all. Sorry to break it to you like this.
"Haha you eat beans!"
"Oh yeah? Well you are my slave!"
What an awkward couple of lines
how in the world does that conversation not seem racist to her? Or at least why did she think that she as a *privileged white person* can just repeat those lines and not sounding really off. She was the last person I would have expected to say something like that. Seems so naive
its a very literal language and culture shes not far off to how bants work round there.
"Shoutout to cash app, the best way to send reparations."
That fucking killed me.
“Your hearts in the right place” is the line that sold me
@@rottingravensblood9106 omg it was a sarcastic joke the guy made don’t burst a vein
@@rottingravensblood9106 um understanding that economic justice needs to happen has nothing to do with tracing your ancestors back to slavers. Uhuru is a fucking joke but reparations is entirely a legitimate issue.
The guy with the M&M hat was really the most genuine person ever haha
"and um. They wanna collect money.. by not marching in white neighborhoods.. to build basketball courts... So we can... BALL UP?" Killed me
"Can I get $5?"
"I only have a $20, does that work?"
"...yeah that works."
LOL
Props to the women for following what she believes . Don’t agree but do respect it
@@westara3883 ehh i wouldn’t give her that much credit…she was on camera and put on the spot.
"Can I have five dollars?" laid down strategically at the right moment is comedy gold.
His laugh at Snow Park sign was the best.
That park got so much shittier just a couple months later. I lived across the street from it. Before I left earlier this year the park was littered with tents all over the place with homeless...
Such a shame since Lake Merrit is so beautiful especially at night.
The asking for money part is brilliant
@@colinlarson9656 lol ikr what are these people doing tryna raise money for a basketball court lol
Gotta get some bucks outta that white guilt suburban feminists b4 shlonging them a kid and leaving.
"Can I have 5 dollars?"
"Are you serious?"
"Yes."
Godspeed Channel 5, a true beacon of free press within such a divided nation.
The face of disbelief when he's asked to do the thing he preaches others to do. Priceless
Sidam's laugh is the most contagious ever. The sound track was exquisite. Uhuru.
In all seriousness, this is why representation in journalism matters. Sidam has an ability to relate and understand the local minority community in a way that these "Uhuru" white people will never understand.
@@romanski5811 It's almost a consensus in journalism and in scholar researches about journalism, that representation matters. But some people don't give a damn about studies and value feelings over facts.
This white people are literally subservient to this local minorities, they would do anything Sadam ask them too.
"They wanna give us money, so lets go get some money *uncontrollable laughter* "
Please keep Sidam as a cohost.
"your heart's in the right place, I appreciate you" is exactly the best thing he could've said. Followed up with "damn, Uhuru" and the most infectious laugh ever is one of the funniest things I've seen on this channel.
@Jerry Snowe so don't help her? or better yet just avoid her at all costs because cray cray?
@Jerry Snowe yeah but she was crying and obviously thinks she's doing the right thing, at least give her credit for that.
"And I've seen prince take it alright"😂
I bet he has😏
best part is how Sadim is just clearly waiting to ask "can i have 5 bucks" haha.
Irony was the Palestinian flag. What has that do with Black Americans and what Black Americans have endured in America?
@@FirstSkyWalker is the begger spirit. That's how i see the connection. And white saviour syndrome.
@@mikrophone8499 Begger to what exactly? You do realize that this is a historical justice claim. Money was literally stolen from native Black Americans. Thriving Black communities looted, burned to the ground. The Freeman Bank was literarily robbed empty. Land grab, etc. Perhaps you need to lookup Martin Luther King We Came The Get Our Check. What we speak of is generational wealth vs generational poverty.
@@FirstSkyWalker how about USA give back reparations to Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc. What about Spain giving back reparations to the whole of South America and central America? What about Portugal paying back Brazil and don't let me started with United Kingdom. Wow UK gonna end up broke paying everyone. What about Turkey giving back Istanbul to the Greeks? China give back Tibet etc. What about Mongolia? Injustice are everywhere but those who did those injustices are dead. You know how Hitler for elected? Because Germany was forced to pay all the war reparations back to the whole Europe for WW1 and that's how the WW2 started.
@@mikrophone8499 I have no Idea why you bring you Turkey? What has that to do with the conversation? What has Spain to do with the conversation? What has China to do with the conversation? And so on…. What has all that to do with the conversation that the American the American government allowed a domestic resist terrorists to attack Black Americans for hundreds of years, which was supported by the government through laws, legislation and Acts to specifically target the Black population. You perhaps think you are funny and or smart, but neither of these is the case. The American government a debt to pay to Black Americans for the atrocities that have done for 400 years. Literally not 1 year has gone by where the American government hasn’t been involved in the atrocities Black Americans had to go through.
Sidam's 1st words "Uhuru, we are here at Snow Park, uh, it's one of the whitest parks i ever seen" FUCKING HELLLLLLMFAO
I don't understand how does a black park looks like? Are parks in black communities ugly? Is that what he is saying? He is insulting black community?
I think the basket ball court at 29:30 was eventually built because I saw pictures of it when it was finished online. It's the Uhuru basketball court at 4368 College Ave, St Louis.
When I looked into it more I discovered that most of the basketball courts are in the eastern part of the city which is historically a white neighborhood, and the western part of the city which is a historically black neighborhood doesn't have many of them in their parks. (This is known as "the Delmar divide.") So there is a rationale behind "building another basketball court" even though the city has many of them, because they aren't necessarily in convenient locations, and tend to be in wealthier neighborhoods.
However, even if there are tennis courts but not basketball courts in the western half of the city, there are still Confederate monuments erected in the middle of those parks after segregation officially ended.
This is like a live action south park episode 😂
“I got $20 so far”
That shit killed me lmao
@@macmiller1678 The concept of reparations doesn't work on an individual level (which they talk about in the video)
@@Pizza_Rat the concept of reparations doesn't work at all. It has never worked in all of human history. Also, if you can't deduce that he meant to type reparations and it got autocorrect, I feel bad for you, fam.
Andrew's whole business model: 1. Find the people who look and act like GTA 5 characters. 2. Ask them what's on their mind. 3. Profit.
It's almost like a spiritual thing...to just stare into the gaping abyss every episode.
My faith in humanity is simultaneously shattered and reborn with every upload 😂
“I’ve seen prince take it” lol I’m sure you have 😂😂🤭
"All I heard was white solidarity and I thought, I better get the hell out of here"
I'm fucking dead
Black people got their reperations when they were selling each other to slave traders... Mansa Musa a black king who was the wealthiest person in history created the West African slave ports in the 1400s which is why Europeans came there to buy slaves... Also the first legal slave owner in the US was a black man
@@Spookykidshow Every single white and black person definitely has a slave owner in their ancestry... There was even black conquistadors who helped the Spanish and Portuguese explorers map the US, the most famous was Estavancio who traveled from Florida to Texas with other explorers
@@Gnarnia. yeah for sure helped motivating to continue slave trading when white dudes come and paid a shitload for slaves
Enjoyed Sidam's Channel 5 debut, he really got to the heart of what makes these videos great. "Can I have $5?" 😂
Funniest shit ever, mad respect to a woman who gave him a $20, unlike the next par, she stood by her principal, lul.
honestly i wasnt so sure about sidam in the first videos, but this is just pure gold! Awesome DUDE
This is s class Channel 5 editing. That fade in when Andwer responds to Sidam, class. Real good. But I appreciate the freedom of the style. It's great. I will look forwardward to seeing how you balance it in the future. Obviously this topic has a ton of irony so a lot of it works really well, it's not in your more serious work so... yeah man, your ethics show in the edit. It's great
Sidam asking the real questions out here.
"Can I have $5?"
True journalism right here.
Holy shit dude, I love your bumps! Did not expect to see you here, gonna go listen to your Phoenix Wright bump now. Hope you’re feeling better too!
it's really odd seeing you pop up everywhere recently after not seeing anything for like 3 years lol
its the dumbest reply. Espacially after the woman explained him why. After that his "joke" just let him seem dumb
"You got change?"
"No."
"Sorry. Next time."
"Yeah. Next time."
Sidam was in his bag both literally and metaphorically this episode
"Shout out to Cashapp, the best way to send reparations."
I'm fucking crying 🤣🤣🤣
You ever read someone’s comment quoting the video and as you read you hear it? Because that just happened
music at 4:00 is "held breeze" by Mount Shrine. highly recommend his other works. was so surprised to hear it, awesome choice of music!
I knew i recognised it! He’s a real genius in the drone and ambient sphere. Ghosts on Broken Pavement is my go to for study
I love that you guys use the 2nd Stage Donkey Kong Country track in your videos. Good shit
Woman: *Pours her heart out begging for reparations and climate action*
Sidam: "Damn, uh, uhuru"
Sidam taking that lady’s $20 was the highlight of my morning, he’s the perfect host for these events
I bet she goes and brags to her friends after this. Also, agreed. He's one funny dude.
“Hah damn…..uhuru” you know I’m watching this whole thing now hahaha
I love how they’re keeping it funny while also covering some dark stuff
I'm sad the top comments aren't talking about it. People mightve missed the subtleties. All of those basketball courts built over time, nothing but low wage jobs for everyone in the city. And then the gentrification begins. So much more stuff as well. almost like the people running the uhhuru March are good actors and in it for the money
Yes white people acting goofy and larping activist is dark stuff lol
Alternative title: “INFINITY MONEY GLITCH FOR THE HOMIES (100% Legit)”
Bru fucken gold😂 I lost my shit when he asked for 5 bucks and the fucken gave it to him hahahahahaha
If the govt. wanted to they could pay - they managed to get trillions together in weeks for covid - they just greedy and scared to tax rich.
@@Jm-uh7wg yea Americans don't even have free health care feel sorry for you guys, or Job Seker payments. In Australia we don't have to pay for health care and when we have COVID lockdowns without jobs we get $800 a week from the government.
"let's get some money" **maniacal laugh**
This is my favourite anchor already
the man with the m&m cap is a legend :D
Channel 5 loves their Aquatic Ambience
The fact they are trying to pay for a basketball court is so fucking funny to me
Wait you mean to tell me that basketball Americans, don't all play basketball??????
It seems like they are telling them to leave oakland.
"There ya go asshole, i built a basketball court in missouri. Go live there instead, stop fucking up my gentrification.
When you try so hard to not be racist that you are low key being racist
Binge watching this channel now that I found it. From oldest to this video, this damn video had me crying! Put this man on more videos! 😂
You have the best sponsored bits in your videos :D
Sidam laughing at “they want to give us money” all the way to the rally was gold
It was funny, but if he is African (descendants of immigrants who came here after slavery) the reparations wouldn't be for him. The reparations are supposed to be for black descendants of slaves in the U.S.
@@thedopeson Which makes it even more ridicolous because a black person that came after the end of slavery let's say in 1920 would still suffer racism that was rooted in slavery. So now would you split up the black community into "real deserving" black" and those that didn't suffer enough? And what about mixed people? This whole concept is crazy.
"I got $20 so far."
*"Bye."*
*Lmfao*
That might have been the best part and that's saying a lot because I was laughing the whole time.
This is the best vid on this channel so far
Sidam’s fit goes so hard
Sidam has the same weird energy as andrew, he is great
nah he kinda sucks as a reporter honestly. Andrew does a good job at keeping his opinion hidden. Sidam does not.
@@bobriquardo5317 hiding your opinion has nothing to do with being a good reporter lmao
@@mspaintlive8995 I very much would disagree with that. A reporter should be seeing what other people think and getting their opinions. If you're asking questions in a biased manner, the person won't necesarily say what they'd think in a vacuum. You can either be a reporter or a commentator, but not both at the same time.
@@mspaintlive8995 yes it fucking does wtf. the one thing andrew says constantly is that he doesn't talk, he just lets the person he's interviewing talk without him saying anything.
The dude in the M&M hat is probably the most rational character ever on a Channel 5 News program.
I was with him until he said DNA test. Idk what's scarier 23andme having the rights to my DNA or the government.
you're probably wondering what you're watching! love it ahaha
The Cash App Reperations shoutout killed me.
"I appreciate you....your hearts in the right place" lmao god damn
@PullupSeattle 2.0 The strange thing about the radical left is, they are mostly harmless... whiny... they over react - social justice warriors... but at least they are non violent and they are trying to help. But crazy as fuk! lol
@@rcchristian2 radical left please no these guys are just reject hippies
Sidam is hysterical. The ski mask for whatever reason makes it 5x funnier.
Yeah goes by Polo Cutty. Watch the podcast with Andrew, him and Urbyn
I've watched this so many times and just noticed Andrew zippin up his fly on the sly at 1:01
this has fixed racism
"The Mali are the best people."
*"Yeah I fuck with Molly ahaha"*
Wild that she would say that when the Mali were one of the major slaver kingdoms that provided bodies for the Atlantic Slave Trade, the very thing that these people are demanding reparations for.
@@nullw8768 Funny enough those same Mali people got fucked over by those same slave traders as their country was quickly put into shambles thanks to colonialism. And it's not all of Mali as Mali is a series of different cultures and tribes with different customs. Kinda like Nigeria which has over 150+ languages and over 200+ tribes and people of different backgrounds
@@josh-samuelikechi-konkwo7190 It's almost as if all cultures have their skeletons.
@@nullw8768 I mean.. she’s clearly referring to current Malian people she’s hung around with.
Gotta take out a lot of context for this point to mean anything.
Sidam got the dad joke energy love it
Awww shit! Parkour as a counter culture getting established day after day
Big up to Jimmy, I hit a kong gainer off my front porch every time I leave my house
This is the best thing I've ever seen on the internet.
Sidam deadass the perfect weird mix of Hannibal Buress and Beanie Siegel. Love him 😂
"Shout out CashApp, the best way to send reparations" lmao.
Keep having Sidan host things, you both have a unique style, and it compliments each other perfectly.
@Terence McKenna omg no way a black guy has a different perspective about things from a white guy and someone enjoys having both of those blend nicely into some wholesome content? wow so weird
@@leftward_hoe exactly. I also like how Andrew is a little reserved and let's the people lead the Convo, but Sidan is a little more outgoing, and asks more (ridiculous) questions. The two different styles makes for interesting contrast.
Or maybe I only like Andrew cause he's white, but I only like Sidan cause he's black? That seems to be @Terence McKenna take lol.
@@altusshow7574 dudes not even on the same mental wavelength of the person he's named after
"They wanna give us money so, lets get some money." Had me dying. I'd love to see more of Sidam.
Not even kidding, this is some of the most real and important reporting right now. Gets to the reality of the issues without sensationalist bs.
this was a good one
"Cashapp: the best way to pay reparations." I died.
Fr tho, the vibe Sidam brings is golden for Channel 5!
@@dylantully5265 not the direction I was going, but good to know ig lol.
Today's drip award goes to the gentleman rocking a m&m racing hat. That shit is fire
Channel 5 is the best 🔥
Sidam giving that one lady a hug was nice she really seemed sincere.
I love how Andrew is talking about the gentrification all serious and Sidam is like “let me pull up a map of the basketball courts in St. Louis” and then laughs 😅
Casually re-zipping his fly at 1:02 😂😂😂😂😂
Dude's coherence with the mnm shirt was a breath of fresh air
This reporting was fantastic, goddamn. Taking the "good intentions" to task by examining where the funds actually go and asking the community their takes. Channel 5 doesn't fucking miss.
i had to laugh when it was revealed its a basketball court in STL. It is the most segregated city in the US, and a court isn't going to do shit to help that.
On the topic of that, Kanye West does not deserve reparations. Nor does Barrack Obama. Reparations of any kind would have to be sufficient enough to resolve inequalities that create things like crime, disparities in education success, etc..
I do like the idea of DNA tests. Lots of, people could benefit from that, and not just African Americans. Although privacy would be a big concern, especially in regards to data collecting.
agreed. i wish they would do a follow-up episode to show where the money really goes. from my research, the money goes nowhere good and is only used to enrich their leader Omali Yeshitela. Dude has a fortified compound in St Pete. its a fuckin cult and it always has been.
Channel 5 universe is expanding man, we on some avengers shit. The lore so far is amazing. Sidam is 10/10
I liked Sidam's debut, but I think he has room to grow and improve as an interviewer.
They want to feel good without actually looking their community in the eye and improving it. The basketball court thing pissed me off so bad. How does that help oakland?
Sidam asking people for money had me rolling 🤣
The way she talked about it, it sounded like she was proposing gentrifying Africa. All of it makes me want to fold into myself until I create a black hole.
Gaza man talking about unpaid labour and then giving Sidam 5 dollars, all while a homeless man laying in the background. This is why I trust Channel 5 for hard hitting news and facts.
Tbh I kinda want to know the name of the background song more than anything
@@Griffith307 It's the beat to Can't Tell Me Nothing by Kanye West. The opener to Graduation, one of the best hip-hop albums of all time.
hella good vid much love from oakland ❤️❤️
Dude! That “Can I get $5?” is a DAMN good point right there in and of itself! How many up their money where their mouth is!
"Can we start asking white people for money?"
"No."
"Well I got 20$ so far."
"😶 Bye.."
Irony was the Palestinian flag. What has that do with Black Americans and what Black Americans have endured in America?
@@FirstSkyWalker think he was just protesting in general bro lol
@@twitchtveldenkoo2916 That could be, but this was about some awkward gathering for Reparations for Africans in Africa, yet protesting in the USA, while native Black Americans have been demanding this Justice Claim for decades. At as a matter of for over a century! What these people did here was very insulting and a slap in the face of Black Americans. They spoke of rights for everybody, but for the group that matters in the USA, which is native Black Americans.
@@FirstSkyWalker not arguing against that, but it's not uncommon for there to be people protesting for other issues in tangent to whatever the main issue of the given protest is.
Sidam absolutely killed it. He needs more on-air time.
I love all these weird side characters like the Hoff twins and everyone at that pick up artist event in Vegas.

"uhhh cool...can I have $5?" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Can I have $5" LOL This is amazing
Sidam with that cutting, faint praise:
"I think your heart's in the right place."
i like his "congratulations" right at the end upon hearing that it was that ladies first time volunteering
"Whats your favourite part of Africa?" "Well in west Africa they make jokes about eating beans and being slaves and I just love that!"
One of the strangest comments i've ever heard.
most of these white people fighting for reparations are the biggest racists and want to look special being cool with black people. its cringe as hell
yeah I really didn't get the joke it must have been painful for her or maybe just her brain is fried
@@Slacker4Life3 idk if that's true but what is true is that a lot of these people are inherently white supremacist. idk if they are purposefully racist (it's hard to say for sure tbh) but they enact racism on a systemic level
@@Slacker4Life3 I think it just came out wrong, she didn't know how to describe it better and her example wasnt the best.
Had me crying 4 time the intro alone 💯👌🏾
I lost it when Sidam said cash app was the best app for reparations 😂
- "Coming from an anti-capitalist perspective, we do think that redistributing the wealth is gonna need to happen for any liberation to really happen"
- "Hell yeah, can I have five dollars?"
@@KamBB-gu3pv Exactly. Reparations isn’t something neither one of these people could fulfill nor could they negotiate how much or where that money should go.
Like the host said, “Your heart is in the right place…”
@Eevee* yeah im pretty sure he is a hypocrite for not giving five dollars when he is asking for the people in power and the ruling class to change the system and redistribute the wealth systemically
@Eevee* everyone is very generous and in favor of handing out other people's money lol. Until they get money someday.
When Sidam brought up how many basketball courts were already in St Louis, I cracked up. I love the newsroom vibes between them. Channel 5 just keeps getting better.
dude at the end hit em with the "bye" 😂
