I am Hispanic and 62 years old. I've experienced racism from whites, Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, other Hispanics, and Indians. Every race has racists.
My dad coached pop Warner football from 1969 until 1985. He would pick up kids and take them practice and take them home. Went 5 yrs undefeated. Black white Mexican .every one started at some position. Team!
I grew up in a black neighborhood and went to a black high school, like I was the ONLY white kid in my high school. I took an ass whooping twice a day, every day. I hated my childhood because I saw nothing but racism. I told myself everyday that I would never make someone feel the way I did. I have been approached by a few of my bullies, as adults, and had tearful conversations that included apologies and explanations. I forgave them and released them of the burden they carried all those years. 2 of my closest friends are black and I love them with all my heart. I refuse to have enemies because of their color. My moto is, "I love everyone and you're next." You can't end hatred with hatred.
@Harrison Drews No. A bullet just perpetuates the hate. There's a saying, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Let that sink in.
I grew up in Texas and never experienced racism until I moved to California for college. Only because I'm white but apparently it's not racism against me because I'm white. In the military we were a family and skin color, religion or lineage didn't matter. The most horrible open display of racism I've ever seen was the three years I lived in Atlanta. It was from all sides and it was blatant. I got my family the hell out of there and back to Texas.
Being a black woman in texas, I can assure you that on every corner there is racism. Maybe you didn't experience it because the majority of it that happens here happens to blacks? I lived in Atlanta and Memphis and never experienced racism. However the majority in Atlanta are black. So I can definitely relate.
@@ironwill6859 it definitely is. California, military myself. Mad racism in the service. It it’s always the country white people that say that exact comment all the time in the service. They get called out in Cali. And whit men are mad that in a party/young crowd state is sexually dominated by black and Latinos. They won’t SAY it, but I’ve lived with them for YEARS. 😂😂😂😂
All I can say is... You're full of sh!t Charley. You have always been white and apparently in an all white community. You not experiencing racism in Texas... then you must've been rich and went to white private schools all your school years until you graduated. Your comment makes no sense. So California is racist but Texas isn't!?!? 😂🤣😂
First time seeing your channel. You’re a fabulous role model for your kids. What you said really spoke to me. Keep doing a great job. Be blessed my American Brother.
Thank you for making this reaction. I am white and back in 1991 I started high-school graduation in 1994, I had several African American friends and when the Rodney King riots happened my friends stopped talking to me and started calling me cracker and dumb ass white boy. It hurt really bad because I was still their friend, but that happened and Malcom X came out and now it seemed it was black against white and white against black. Brother against brother. The government wants us to be divided and hate each other because if we were still united as brothers and sisters in Christ we could stand strong and tell the controlling government to kiss our asses. I was relentlessly being followed home from school by gang bangers and have been shot at by them in the early and mid 90s growing up in Antioch California. I was very angry and had hatred in me after those things happened but I had to remind myself that just because one or two groups of a people act bad doesn't mean all are bad. I now have great friends of all races and I feel so good to have that brotherhood in Christ and to just talk to each other as friends and brothers and Americans.
Most people there hate from their childhoods fr. It's sad the main reason the world Is as bad as it is is because their parents didn't raise them right
I love this, more people of all races should listen to country rap, none of them are racist or they wouldn’t be rapping, but they all speak the truth country rappers like Adam Calhoun, Nu Breed, Upchurch, Demun Jones, JellyRoll ect.. and love your videos
It's always striking to me when there is little to zero emotional reaction to the racist/white stereotypes at the beginning of this song. Lots of nodding and "oh yeah. I've seen that"....and then a racist/black stereotype comes in and all the butthurt happens. Shouldn't that cause you pause and inspire a bit of self-reflection? Racism is racism. Stereotypes are stereotypes. Melanin not withstanding.
Ya but that takes common sense.. and that is one of the most uncommon things to find these days.. and that’s if you can even find it…. People are fucking idiots these days
@Liza Beth I haven’t thought of that but that’s very true, good observation. It’s sad but it’s kind of one of those things you get use to. To the point I didn’t even notice it like that.
I'm 41 lived in south Carolina 90% of my life from 6th grade to 12th I was the ONLY white person on my bus. I can tell you that racism is from all side I've been called all of those names.. I stood my ground and gained respect and love from most of the people on my bus. I judge people by character..not skin color.. even tho a good bit of my childhood I was racially profiled.
@dawn waites I am also in/from upstate South Carolina. I'm a country girl through and through! Grew up dirt poor, down a long dirt road, taught respect, manners, pride, and the value of family!!! And I thank God everyday for that struggle! We hunted and fished to fill our freezers so we would have enough just to eat. Mom, Grammy, Aunt made our clothes! Sewn with Love! Not a designer tag or label. I was called, "Cracker" 'Hillbilly' "Redneck" "Trailer Trash" ( didn't live in a trailer ever) 'White Trash" "Inbred" "Bumpkin" "Grey Bitch" (super derogatory slang for a white female that dates ANYONE outside her race). I was mocked, constantly fighting groups of females (they never squared up one on one, always a group). Got my ass handed to me a lot. Doesn't matter how well you can defend yourself or fight... 2 or more, you not comin out on top! I grew up and other races made sure I felt out of place because I was poor and white. I wasn't good enough for anyone, and was told numerous times to "Take my white ass back to the sticks where I belong" No one ever thinks that a Caucasian person could possibly know what true STRUGGLE is. No one thinks a white person could constantly be bullied, and hated on, and spit on. Automatically think because I'm Caucasian, I had it easy, white privilege. WHERE TF DO I SIGN UP FOR THAT? I have missed out on that perk. IM LIVING PROOF THAT RACISM AGAINST WHITES BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS! I'm 46 years old. I love everyone and can vibe with anybody. And was taught, were all equal under God, made in His image. And baby, God don't make mistakes!! THANK YOU TO THOSE THAT UNDERSTAND. Thank you Greg for your open mind, and I love your reactions. You've opened my eyes to other things as well! Please keep your content coming. I'm learning so much from you. Thank you! ❤️
I'm white from Chicago. Also grew up with no money. Worked in the worst neighborhoods and lived in them at times. I have never been afraid to walk down any street, talk to any person and I'm not going to start. When I was 18 I shaved my head too because my whole family goes bald, surprisingly I got fucked with less but I'm a big guy. My best friend is black. I have dated black women, Asian women, and Latinos and they are all bueatiful in there own way(and crazy but different story). We are all human. There is only 1 race and honestly in the 90's I would say racism was the quietest it has been in my life, then they started all over again.
, unfortunate for us, happened to me too. Now, WHAT THEY HAVE CREATED, are some of the most dangerous women on the planet. Im not military trained, but my Dad was. I always knew, it's me or my daughter, I'll die before anyone touches my children. We grew up tough enough, we'll enforce it. Play nice. Happy Easter.
I love your voice!! Really enjoyed your reaction to this song! He is just proving that we are all the same. Calling out the stereotypes. I love your open-mindedness. ❤
True upstanding man right here, thank you. Thank you for judging the lyrics and not turning it into a race war. You sir are an outstanding role model and your little ones are blessed to have a father like you. God bless. I came across this randomly having no clue if the song or you honestly (with respect), thank you again for being a genuine person. Good day to you. 👌👌
I was called white trash back in the day all because I was a single mother trying to take care of my two babies. Their father was so abusive. I didn't have no where else to go and I was struggling. No one should put down anyone else for what they are dealing with.
My husband was called a pink toed bitch, because I refused to come outside to fight her. I am a pot head not a fighter. I love everyone race, religion, sexual orientation I love them all.
His whole purpose for this song was to show everybody that just because we look different, we all struggle. The struggle just looks different from the outside. I'm a whiteboy who grew up in the "ghetto", the "hood", whatever you wanna call it. I've been called all kinds of things but I realized at a young age because of the family I have. That you are no different than I am, ones not better than the other. We're all just Americans trying to make the best of what we are blessed to have.
There's a conversation needed to be had here but people don't want to have it. I love that this guy is logically deciphering the lyrics of the song and not jumping to conclusions or getting offended by truth. Great content.
This song really hits a lot of good points man. Shows the judgements from both sides and the truth about the negatives and positives on both sides too. Good stuff. I like your reaction to it as well. Thanks man!
Beautiful words. Our children are sponges growing up and absorbed what they see and hear. Their isn't a child brought into this world that "sees" color. Sadly they learn it.
Of course they see color, they're not brain dead. There's only probs when one race tries to dominate the others based on appearance alone. In all black, all white, all Asian or all aboriginal nations, it's easy to see that it's values differences that make us war.
@@theworldisastage3425 You obviously chose to miss the point. What I stated is truth. Children do not come into this world seeing skin color as a reason to pre-judge other children and accept or belittle them for their pigment. They learn it through their surroundings. Most often family.
I grew up in a small town where you can count black people . Never looked at anyone any different and nor did they . They didn’t feel out of place .It was a peaceful town untill I came to the city race and peoples skin color was always mentioned and that’s when I started to feel divided , we aren’t the same even though we are .
There's trash and class with any race. And it don't even come down to money. Love how Adam contrasts both the good and bad sides of low income people. We all in this together!
May I add…I went around with people who weren’t considered good enough because they treated me like I was good enough and my own family didn’t think I was good enough. Labels are just labels! At 68 I could care less unless you go after someone who needs lifting up not tearing down. It was a long journey from a child’s hurt to today. I have this motto… I am where I am but I will not go backwards. I may stay in one place for awhile but I won’t go backwards. Move forward!
My first video I have seen of yours….I really like how I can tell you are a very good man and show some emotion and it’s obvious you will be a great father…!
You seem like a pretty cool guy, someone I would be proud to call my friend. Honestly, the only place I didn't see some form of racism was in the Army. Everyone was the same color, Olive Drab and every First Sergeant I met always let us know that we were all equally useless. Good times.
You are absolutely correct, that's what I loved about serving in the army, we were all one, thank you for your service brother, I served 12 years as an 11B Infantryman.
I am a marine! That was the last place I have seen zero racism we was all brothers no matter what. What was a skin color? Mine was green so was everyone else's. Thank you for your services ❤
Honestly, Adam spoke facts in this video and touched on stereotypes below the poverty line and the fact that privilege is more a monetary gap than a racial gap. If your poor and black, you're viewed in one of the two stereotypes and visa versa with the poor and white. Above the poverty line is a different story, but both sides rarely see such a rise without determination, guts, and a little luck. That's where the racial gap in privilege truly comes into play. And I think he wanted to show the world this truth with this video. Side note, the white guy rolling the blunt is Rapper EBE Bandz aka Billy Da Kid from Chicago, who was killed back in 2019.
I live in seattle and there’s so many Indians in the tech field . They make a lot of money and they can be dark as black and I get judged because I’m white and have a mini wage job and not in tech or if I don’t dress fancy as a female .Indians don’t get judged or racist because people know they are more likely in tech
He did a video with Stevie Knight the reactor saying he said it because he was close with black people while in prison. They called him that and vice versa he sounded real surprised when other black people weren’t cool with it 🥴
I agree…I also took from it as there are similarities in every race….white people living in trailer parks comparing to black people living in the inner city in the “hood”…people grow up in tough situations no matter what your skin color is and people are successful no matter what your skin color is…life is what you put into it and don’t let the media tell you that your race is supposed to live a certain way…bottom line we all have more in common then they want us to know…
Being country aint just bout hunting its about family its about keeping your word giving your shirt off your back to another wether its black white blue yellow its about being treated the way you want to be treated and its just about being a good person in general and mostly about loving our country and hoping for the right change. Most of us aren't racist but some are and theres no need but loved your reaction man 😫👊
No one listens too lyrics anymore they here one word they wanna hear and go wild. Hes a genius for keeping a real. Its hard to face your reality but its great to face it for closure/awareness. Great review video you were honest this song opens up the floor to talk about it.
Been raised up in far SE Oklahoma and deal with this daily. Just part of my world, always has been snd sadly probably always will be! Peace, Love and may God bless you.
I’ve been called all that shit, being half and half. I lived in the projects and the T park. He was a spitting facts. There are good and bad folks in every place you go. My grandmother always told us just to judge people by there actions and character and that’s what I’m teaching my boys so hopefully one day, we as humans can get past the race issue. Great video tho brother
My daughter's 1/2 white & 1/2 Mexicano, I have 2 white kids and my baby boy is 1/2 black & 1/2 white...I have 1 white grand and the other six are all mikst of various flavors and ya know what? My kids, my grands and I have experienced so much blatant bigotry more than any full-blooded color because some folks can't stand the thought of the so-called "races" mixing it up and actually loving each other. I don't call it racism because it's downright hatred/bigotry for no damned reason other than to try and tell us who to care for, who's of value when there are NO RACES! There's only ONE and it's the HUMAN RACE y'all! We're all family, like it or not! I pity the ones who don't see their own bigotry ( regardless of their color) because they go to church and claim they follow Jesus Christ as their Master yet sow hatred/bigotry elsewhere so who is their real master?
The best part of this video was when you said you don’t speak that way because you don’t want your kids to hear you and then they will say the same things. Listen, I am a white male that raised my children to never judge anyone by the color of their skin you only judge them by their character. As long as we teach our children to be kind to people maybe all this ugliness will eventually go away. Life is to short to spend it hating people that you don’t even know.
'Ignorance' just means 'a lack of knowledge'. We can all learn. Teach our children well. They are our future. Raising them up right with morals, values & ethics, no matter who they are or where they come from. We ALL just want Peace & Prosperity. Life is way too short as it is. We only have 'One' life to 'Love'!✊😇👍❤🎊
Man, I love this reaction. The trailer park isn't much different than the projects. You get in and you just want out. "Just do better ". Truth, brother.
Racial slurs were only ever thrown at me from people who did not know me, so I just shrug it off since it came from ignorance. Greg, I got mad respect for you in making sure you are a good role model for your kids and recognizing that you have to walk the walk in front of them, and not just talk the talk. Race does not matter. It is a person's character that counts!
I loved the way ACal talked about the stereotypes while acknowledging the good of people in both races. I also appreciate the last part of this song where he points out how we are being pitted against each other and as long as so many continue to fall for that propaganda they show on media every day instead of us standing together as the human race, then those "elites" continue to win because if we're fighting each other then we're not paying attention to what they're doing to all of us. Another wonderful reaction Greg! Much love to you and the family as always! 🙏🇺🇲❤️
The truth of the matter is that in most regions, the trailer park is equal to "the Projects". It takes a special drive to get out of either one. Congratulations and kudos to all of us that have.
No matter what your race is, at some point in your life, you will experience racism. It’s how you choose to deal with it that matters most. Some people just have thicker skin then others.
Stevie Knight was taken back by Adam's use of the N word in this as well. He wanted to understand more so he reached out to Adam. That turned into a stream with Adam and Stevie having a very good back and forth conversation that you should certainly listen to. Not really something you would probably want to react to but it's certainly a very productive conversation between two grown men who are honestly trying to understand and find common ground. Excellent example of how these conversation don't need to be aggressive. As always though, very good reaction and solid points of view.
Stevie is closed minded and doesn't get it. The fact that he has a.problem with the word but says a Spanish person saying it doesn't bother him just a white person says it all. He didn't even really want to.listen to Adam. Shit he was trying to get around the fact his girl was white. He's like, she's Russian. Dude is a joke.
@@christopherjohnson7819 you are so right. Lost all respect for him and no longer watch is reactions, so disappointing. Glad I’m not the only one thinking that.
My mama was a girl when Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered, and she took his dream to heart. My siblings, and I grew up being told on a daily basis that our life was worth no more, or less than anyone else's. We were also told on a daily basis that if mama ever found out we were treating ANYONE like we were better than they were SHE would be the one picking the switch to use on our backsides. Those southern mamas ain't messing around when they talking about punishment either. Now, my philosophy is: God made us all look different to test us, and make sure we were seeking HIM first in all things, even in the face of a stranger. I sure don't want to find myself standing in front of my maker trying to justify hatred toward any of HIS children after HE told me to love them as myself.
That’s one of the most intelligent things I’ve ever heard anybody say about anything. I love that you mentioned Southern mamas because I grew up that way too. There might be some people stuck in the old, backwards way of thinking but The South is just as much your home as it is mine.
I have- was confronting a “mom” about her kids messing around our house while we were gone- her and her hubby literally had to put down a crack pipe to answer the door- I came up respectful until she disrespected- I decided to walk away.. she circled me until she pushed the wrong button- called my 9 YEAR OLD “white trailer trash” ( we lived in a 3br house, then apartment), “dirty”, and a “bitch”… this country is so confused, backwards, and divided… why can’t we see we all bleed the same, and our graves are all same size??!!
You earned a new sub here dude. You articulate what you're trying to say well. You understand the message behind the lyrics and respected it. Some freak out because he said the N-word a few times. You were thrown off but knew the message wasn't racist, it was something deeper. Respect my dude.
Wow props!! Second video. You are spot on. I appreciate your ability to see the whole picture. Serious topic, put you on the spot; wanted to see your reaction on something crazy. U did AMAZING!!!
Man I seen several black people do a reaction to this video. Jumping out of there seat screaming all kinds of of racist bullshit against Adam C. But this dude doing this reaction….. bro you are a true class act dude. Much respect and love for you man. We need more people like you in the world. Much love bro! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
The reason for that is young youths today are brainwashed with "if something sounds a way when it has the N word in it that was said by someone other than black, it is Racisim.. I am.a black male and I think it is stupid.. they don't call it Racism when black call other blacks The N word but its a problem when someone else does it. It's not a one way street. Black men need to grow up nd stop.putting their self in that stereotypes. Uplift them selvs and do away with the N WORD.
@@orvillelewis3606 Or decide that words don't have power. People have power. Words take no action. People take action. That's the point of "call me redneck white-trash, I don't care..." You are right with what you said... But don't give words power they don't have. You have power. I have power. We can take action. A word has a short lifespan before it fades into nonexistence.
I grown up in both the projects and the trailer park. That's the reason I bust my ass every day so my family will have more and better than I had growing up
Dude you have a great perspective of things and open minded. I really respect you. The best thing I heard you say was how you don't say certain things cause you don't want the little ones picking that up. We need more of that. That's why all these people are this way cause growing up that's the stuff the heard and was taught. Mad respect for that. Trailer park/ projects there is no different. If you go around both you will see more similarity than differences. Keep doing your thing.
I do love this song because I have seen these scenarios play out in person and it needs to be brought up. The one thing we will all learn is we are all more alike then people realize. Color doesn't dictate interest or personality.
I’m 50 and white, with other races. I also have seen things that weren’t right in my life. But in order to being an Army Brat, my dad was doing the same as the black fam across the street. Us kids lived for balling everyday! And we all were friends! Period!! You see back then in FT.Bragg NC, we respected each other because our Mom or Dad was serving our country protecting us from foreign or domestic! We were taught this as children! As Martin Luther King Jr. said “we are judged by our character, not by the color of our skin.” Those were words that were taught in my family and other Army kids as well. It start in the home! Just wish it would be out in the cities and communities striving and struggling to make it without a father present. Thank you for the video. I also have had four children who were taught the same,in their up-bringing. May God bless America 🇺🇸 and our citizens as well! If we see such racist people around, ignore it or speak up! This racism talk can be taken out of America 🇺🇸 and I believe in my heart that those racist people will be left out of their nonsense that they spew!
Childhood spent in the OC, Cali and my extended family all stayed in Compton area. Didn't directly deal w/racism until we moved to Atlanta, a total culture shock 4 me. There was a Klan march downtown that 1st week, and that was eye opening to see the robes ,etc. Got my Negro wake up call driving south to Florida coming across my 1st Sundown town w/the racist signage-it was a trip. This world will humble you real quick, I understood then the downside to living a shelter life and I am thankful for that wake up call.
I was hoping to see ur reaction on this one Adam is from Chicago and he knows how it is sounds like he was speaking alot of truth he spoke facts about both sides on each side of each race just good stuff ...keep grinding brother dig ur stuff
I love your opinion. You are amazing and yes this whole country is messed up and they want us to be separated. We should have each other’s backs. We are Americans. The world wants to take us over. We are born in this country and we are all equal. Love you! ❤️❤️
Gotta say Greg, I started dyin when he hit…”What the f you rappin for n a$& n”, I knew it was coming and waited for your reaction! And your face said it all😂🤣😂
I work in construction for over 25 years and I have never been on a job where there wasnt a separation on day 1 but by the end of every job it's like a big family because at the end of the day we all realize that we are all there for the same reason to provide for our family and get the job done. Respect to all the wonderful people of all races that I have ever come to work with
Just subscribed. You’re a good man Greg, ghetto, trailer park, mansion. Being a good man is the best thing we can achieve. Love from Nottingham, England
YES I’VE BEEN CALLED EVERY SLUR IN THE BOOK, Even the N word by an elderly black lady! Most of it was in the military, and military banter, I was never offended or let words hurt my feelings! You give people the power to affect you with some words, you lost! Much Love Greg! 🤘🏼😎 I dig your perspective! p.s. do you even lift btuh? Haha? Mas respect, definitely got some guns! 💪
Got a 4 bedroom house for the last 40 years but lived in a moble home on a acre of land back in the day and loved it, the only reason I built the house was because of getting married, it's not always a bad way to live !
Still get called that even though I own my own home (paid in full) out in the woods. It's the same piece of land where I lived for over a year in a shed with one electric outlet and a hose. That said, I was just as happy and blessed in the shed as I am in the house. Amen
Been to 6 continents and deployed to 47 different countries. Saw it everywhere. Saw a lot of beautiful people too. My usual response has always been the same. "If my color and American accent pisses you off. Give me a second chucklenuts I haven't even started yet.
Honestly, that was one of the most honest reaction videos I have seen. You truly tried to put yourself in every person's shoes and perspective. You listened to the viewpoints and tried to relate. Honestly I was speechless on the same part you were haha. You just earned a follow family. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for being open minded going into the song, it’s a tough one to choke down with the lyrics coming from a white guy. And yes…, you are right about the trailer park. It’s tough to get out once your in. I grew up in a trailer park myself for most of my life. I’ve even lived next to individuals who were sometimes second and third generation in the trailer park. My parents sold drugs and did other illegal activities, so I really didn’t have the best start in life growing up but, I keep my nose clean and scratched to get out of there. You can do it, you just gotta have a strong mind
The moment the 99% realizes that labels is what separates us from being united, the 1% will lose. It's not even my opinion that we are all Human and we all bleed red and feel pain. We are of one people if we can look past all the labels.
My favorite part in that song was “they pin us against each other, sit back & watch it happen”!’ It’s happening everyday on the news.. I loved the reaction and I want the Poetic Justice poster!! New sup! I look forward to watching more of your videos!! Also, that is Adam’s Cadillac in the video!!
This is a song I can definitely relate to. As a young white girl I grew up in a trailer park that looked just like this one positioned near the projects. I went to a school that was majority Black, Hispanic, and Asian with a few white kids sprinkled in. While my mom was at work I would walk to a friend's house down roads that are considered some of the most dangerous in Houston. I didn't know any better - this was my home. When I was 14 my mom moved us out in the middle of nowhere. Suddenly I found myself in a culture shock moving from the hood to the woods. This is a time (2002) where I seen true racism for the first time. The kids at school segregated themselves like it was something natural. I was very verbal about how I felt about what I saw, and got into a couple fights with the other white kids until they learned to sit tf down and stop saying dumb shit. Looking back now I feel that what I experienced was a privilege, because it allowed me to see things from a better perspective. It's possible to move our society forward, but everyone's gotta make an effort to sit down and talk.
What I like about the song is that he hits the negative stereo types in the first half of each verse, but then explains that that’s just a small group and generally the larger groups(white and black folks) are generally all good people, but for whatever reason people try to act like we don’t all have the common goal of trying to be better people.
Thank you Bro... I grew up in between two rivaling projects! During the rise of crack... it was hard! Ppl say my speech and the way I act... I'm trying to be like other ppl! Naw, I jus grew like this! I seen racism in both aspects... my whole family was racists! After my black friends left my house after school, I'd get beat and told not to bring that problem back to their house... guess what, the next day, they'd be back! I have 7 children... none look different at any race because they know individuals should get to show who they are, where they heart is, before any judgment on character! Thank you again... you the Real!
I'm white and I've been labeled everything from racist to dope dealer to pretty much everything where I live I've been a scapegoat more than I've been in person I know I'm not black or dark skinned or anything but it's wrong no matter what you are and I think it's b******* I'm not angry I'm white I just keep working hard hoping I'll get somewhere like everybody should the stereotypes are b*******
I have been called every racial slur you can be called when I lived in South Carolina. I can't believe that anyone hates/dislikes anyone based on their skin pigment or where they were born its not like you get to pick it or decide it. I truly think some people just look for a reason to hate!
Man I know it’s been 5 months since you out this out but you’re the man. You’ve got a great view on life and all things concerned. We as people treat each other like shit and I wish it wasn’t the case. We all people. Color be damned. I love YOU bother.
That's a helluva good job on your reaction. This is a tough song. It's hard for me to hear Adam use that word, man, and use it with such confidence but I understand what he's doing. He's speaking to stereotypes and saying that we're all the same with flaws and strengths. He's doing it with such force. Props to you for this reaction.
1st time every seeing your content and I am not even really into these type of videos, however.... I chose to hit subscribe on this channel and it is straight up because of the way you present yourself as a human! I got respect for you based on this simple ass video.. Way to go for the human race!!!!
I've lived in the hood, the barrio, the suburbs and the country. Raised so poor that government cheese, peanut butter and the cheapest ALDI's bread for years was all we had with a drug and alcohol addicted parent. I have experienced the spectrum. I actually appreciated it as I have a wider view than most which informs my world view and allows real understanding. People are their choices and everyone can do better if they truly want to; especially with the internet.
I’m 74 years. I’m white. I lived in a trailer. My Dad was a drunk. I got called those names and many more. I learned to fight when I was just a little girl. Success is the best revenge.
We moved from hills. To trailer park 9 kids in a 3 bedroom for dad to get work. I moved to California at 18 with a baby. Never looked back. Im great now kids went to college. Im retired in Florida now. Loving life. Just found you today. But you keep me watching all old videos of songs I love. Your reactions are great.
White boy from Kentucky. My dad was raised in a very very poor family and lived in a trailer most his life. My 1st and 2nd "house" was a trailer. Now I own a 3bd 1bth house on 2 acres right outside of town. Hard work a the right mindset anyone can get out of the projects/trailer park. Love the videos and keep up the good work 💪🏻💪🏿
Hey brother this was the most Love Field inclusive reaction I've seen of the song. I don't think anyone got the point of the song as much as you did. Much love dude much fucking love!
![Introducing J-Butter to Tom MacDonald!!! - Race War [Reaction] #hog #tommacdonald](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/BRE1mYzbMec/mqdefault.jpg)
I am Hispanic and 62 years old. I've experienced racism from whites, Blacks, Native Americans, Asians, other Hispanics, and Indians. Every race has racists.
Word up same here
My dad coached pop Warner football from 1969 until 1985. He would pick up kids and take them practice and take them home. Went 5 yrs undefeated. Black white Mexican .every one started at some position. Team!
This is true
Absolute truth 💯
real shit
I grew up in a black neighborhood and went to a black high school, like I was the ONLY white kid in my high school. I took an ass whooping twice a day, every day. I hated my childhood because I saw nothing but racism. I told myself everyday that I would never make someone feel the way I did. I have been approached by a few of my bullies, as adults, and had tearful conversations that included apologies and explanations. I forgave them and released them of the burden they carried all those years. 2 of my closest friends are black and I love them with all my heart. I refuse to have enemies because of their color. My moto is, "I love everyone and you're next." You can't end hatred with hatred.
@Harrison Drews a bullet ends what? A life, sure. But that will create more hatred.
You're a hero, in my book. (@Darren)
@Harrison Drews No. A bullet just perpetuates the hate.
There's a saying, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Let that sink in.
Damn bro sounds like Eminem's childhood. Can't imagine being the only person of your race in an entire school.
B.s. story
I grew up in Texas and never experienced racism until I moved to California for college. Only because I'm white but apparently it's not racism against me because I'm white. In the military we were a family and skin color, religion or lineage didn't matter. The most horrible open display of racism I've ever seen was the three years I lived in Atlanta. It was from all sides and it was blatant. I got my family the hell out of there and back to Texas.
Being a black woman in texas, I can assure you that on every corner there is racism. Maybe you didn't experience it because the majority of it that happens here happens to blacks? I lived in Atlanta and Memphis and never experienced racism. However the majority in Atlanta are black. So I can definitely relate.
I smell cap.
@@ironwill6859 it definitely is. California, military myself. Mad racism in the service. It it’s always the country white people that say that exact comment all the time in the service.
They get called out in Cali. And whit men are mad that in a party/young crowd state is sexually dominated by black and Latinos.
They won’t SAY it, but I’ve lived with them for YEARS. 😂😂😂😂
@@TayQwonB Oh I know. I've encountered a few. Lied with a white dude for about 4 months before separating. Besides that no thank you.
All I can say is... You're full of sh!t Charley. You have always been white and apparently in an all white community. You not experiencing racism in Texas... then you must've been rich and went to white private schools all your school years until you graduated. Your comment makes no sense. So California is racist but Texas isn't!?!? 😂🤣😂
First time seeing your channel. You’re a fabulous role model for your kids. What you said really spoke to me. Keep doing a great job. Be blessed my American Brother.
Thank you for making this reaction. I am white and back in 1991 I started high-school graduation in 1994, I had several African American friends and when the Rodney King riots happened my friends stopped talking to me and started calling me cracker and dumb ass white boy. It hurt really bad because I was still their friend, but that happened and Malcom X came out and now it seemed it was black against white and white against black. Brother against brother. The government wants us to be divided and hate each other because if we were still united as brothers and sisters in Christ we could stand strong and tell the controlling government to kiss our asses. I was relentlessly being followed home from school by gang bangers and have been shot at by them in the early and mid 90s growing up in Antioch California. I was very angry and had hatred in me after those things happened but I had to remind myself that just because one or two groups of a people act bad doesn't mean all are bad. I now have great friends of all races and I feel so good to have that brotherhood in Christ and to just talk to each other as friends and brothers and Americans.
Man i love what you said that you’re trying to train your little ones to be like you! Kids aren’t born with racism and hate, it’s learned!!
Most people there hate from their childhoods fr. It's sad the main reason the world Is as bad as it is is because their parents didn't raise them right
"V" gained much respect from that one comment. Everything starts at home!
Amen
I can that's not 💯 know a few people that wasn't raised that way. But things and other people changed it.
I love this, more people of all races should listen to country rap, none of them are racist or they wouldn’t be rapping, but they all speak the truth country rappers like Adam Calhoun, Nu Breed, Upchurch, Demun Jones, JellyRoll ect.. and love your videos
It's always striking to me when there is little to zero emotional reaction to the racist/white stereotypes at the beginning of this song. Lots of nodding and "oh yeah. I've seen that"....and then a racist/black stereotype comes in and all the butthurt happens. Shouldn't that cause you pause and inspire a bit of self-reflection?
Racism is racism. Stereotypes are stereotypes. Melanin not withstanding.
Ya but that takes common sense.. and that is one of the most uncommon things to find these days.. and that’s if you can even find it…. People are fucking idiots these days
@@richardharrington8458 that is fucking facts 👏💯
Blue is the most races.
@Liza Beth I haven’t thought of that but that’s very true, good observation. It’s sad but it’s kind of one of those things you get use to. To the point I didn’t even notice it like that.
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
I'm 41 lived in south Carolina 90% of my life from 6th grade to 12th I was the ONLY white person on my bus. I can tell you that racism is from all side I've been called all of those names.. I stood my ground and gained respect and love from most of the people on my bus. I judge people by character..not skin color.. even tho a good bit of my childhood I was racially profiled.
@dawn waites I am also in/from upstate South Carolina. I'm a country girl through and through! Grew up dirt poor, down a long dirt road, taught respect, manners, pride, and the value of family!!! And I thank God everyday for that struggle!
We hunted and fished to fill our freezers so we would have enough just to eat. Mom, Grammy, Aunt made our clothes! Sewn with Love! Not a designer tag or label.
I was called, "Cracker" 'Hillbilly' "Redneck" "Trailer Trash" ( didn't live in a trailer ever)
'White Trash" "Inbred" "Bumpkin" "Grey Bitch" (super derogatory slang for a white female that dates ANYONE outside her race).
I was mocked, constantly fighting groups of females (they never squared up one on one, always a group).
Got my ass handed to me a lot. Doesn't matter how well you can defend yourself or fight... 2 or more, you not comin out on top! I grew up and other races made sure I felt out of place because I was poor and white. I wasn't good enough for anyone, and was told numerous times to "Take my white ass back to the sticks where I belong"
No one ever thinks that a Caucasian person could possibly know what true STRUGGLE is. No one thinks a white person could constantly be bullied, and hated on, and spit on. Automatically think because I'm Caucasian, I had it easy, white privilege. WHERE TF DO I SIGN UP FOR THAT?
I have missed out on that perk.
IM LIVING PROOF THAT RACISM AGAINST WHITES BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS! I'm 46 years old. I love everyone and can vibe with anybody. And was taught, were all equal under God, made in His image. And baby, God don't make mistakes!!
THANK YOU TO THOSE THAT UNDERSTAND.
Thank you Greg for your open mind, and I love your reactions. You've opened my eyes to other things as well!
Please keep your content coming. I'm learning so much from you. Thank you! ❤️
I'm white from Chicago. Also grew up with no money. Worked in the worst neighborhoods and lived in them at times. I have never been afraid to walk down any street, talk to any person and I'm not going to start. When I was 18 I shaved my head too because my whole family goes bald, surprisingly I got fucked with less but I'm a big guy. My best friend is black. I have dated black women, Asian women, and Latinos and they are all bueatiful in there own way(and crazy but different story). We are all human. There is only 1 race and honestly in the 90's I would say racism was the quietest it has been in my life, then they started all over again.
, unfortunate for us, happened to me too. Now, WHAT THEY HAVE CREATED, are some of the most dangerous women on the planet. Im not military trained, but my Dad was. I always knew, it's me or my daughter, I'll die before anyone touches my children. We grew up tough enough, we'll enforce it. Play nice. Happy Easter.
I love your voice!! Really enjoyed your reaction to this song! He is just proving that we are all the same. Calling out the stereotypes. I love your open-mindedness. ❤
True upstanding man right here, thank you. Thank you for judging the lyrics and not turning it into a race war. You sir are an outstanding role model and your little ones are blessed to have a father like you. God bless. I came across this randomly having no clue if the song or you honestly (with respect), thank you again for being a genuine person. Good day to you. 👌👌
💯
I was called white trash back in the day all because I was a single mother trying to take care of my two babies. Their father was so abusive. I didn't have no where else to go and I was struggling. No one should put down anyone else for what they are dealing with.
I sure hope you know your worth now Beautiful
exactly why we need to be spreading love not hate people are so quick to assume without knowing someones past
The only time we should be looking down on someone else is if we are reaching down to help them up.
@@karlie9590 well said
My husband was called a pink toed bitch, because I refused to come outside to fight her. I am a pot head not a fighter. I love everyone race, religion, sexual orientation I love them all.
His whole purpose for this song was to show everybody that just because we look different, we all struggle. The struggle just looks different from the outside. I'm a whiteboy who grew up in the "ghetto", the "hood", whatever you wanna call it. I've been called all kinds of things but I realized at a young age because of the family I have. That you are no different than I am, ones not better than the other. We're all just Americans trying to make the best of what we are blessed to have.
Well said. 👏
💯 percent
Worst part is Adam doesn't believe a word of this. He's a racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobe.
👏
Your kids are lucky to have a wise father. Much respect.
Agreed u a wise man props to u
There's a conversation needed to be had here but people don't want to have it. I love that this guy is logically deciphering the lyrics of the song and not jumping to conclusions or getting offended by truth. Great content.
This song really hits a lot of good points man. Shows the judgements from both sides and the truth about the negatives and positives on both sides too. Good stuff. I like your reaction to it as well. Thanks man!
I grew up in the projects in Cincinnati I moved deep in the woods in West Virginia I got 5.5 acres and no neighbors🤘🏻
Cabell County here bro.
Ey bro born in conneaut by Cleveland now a WV resident! Haha
We have 28 acres and would love to have more. Living in the country is the best.
Good choice ..i love my state!
C.W.B. west side up!
Beautiful words. Our children are sponges growing up and absorbed what they see and hear. Their isn't a child brought into this world that "sees" color. Sadly they learn it.
Absolutely fact right there!!💯
Of course they see color, they're not brain dead. There's only probs when one race tries to dominate the others based on appearance alone. In all black, all white, all Asian or all aboriginal nations, it's easy to see that it's values differences that make us war.
@@theworldisastage3425 You obviously chose to miss the point. What I stated is truth. Children do not come into this world seeing skin color as a reason to pre-judge other children and accept or belittle them for their pigment. They learn it through their surroundings. Most often family.
I grew up in a small town where you can count black people . Never looked at anyone any different and nor did they . They didn’t feel out of place .It was a peaceful town untill I came to the city race and peoples skin color was always mentioned and that’s when I started to feel divided , we aren’t the same even though we are .
There's trash and class with any race. And it don't even come down to money. Love how Adam contrasts both the good and bad sides of low income people. We all in this together!
May I add…I went around with people who weren’t considered good enough because they treated me like I was good enough and my own family didn’t think I was good enough. Labels are just labels! At 68 I could care less unless you go after someone who needs lifting up not tearing down. It was a long journey from a child’s hurt to today. I have this motto… I am where I am but I will not go backwards. I may stay in one place for awhile but I won’t go backwards. Move forward!
My first video I have seen of yours….I really like how I can tell you are a very good man and show some emotion and it’s obvious you will be a great father…!
You seem like a pretty cool guy, someone I would be proud to call my friend. Honestly, the only place I didn't see some form of racism was in the Army. Everyone was the same color, Olive Drab and every First Sergeant I met always let us know that we were all equally useless. Good times.
You are absolutely correct, that's what I loved about serving in the army, we were all one, thank you for your service brother, I served 12 years as an 11B Infantryman.
I’m late but I agree, Marines
Same brother, my roommate was black and my best friend, everybody had each others back
I am a marine! That was the last place I have seen zero racism we was all brothers no matter what. What was a skin color? Mine was green so was everyone else's. Thank you for your services ❤
Honestly, Adam spoke facts in this video and touched on stereotypes below the poverty line and the fact that privilege is more a monetary gap than a racial gap. If your poor and black, you're viewed in one of the two stereotypes and visa versa with the poor and white. Above the poverty line is a different story, but both sides rarely see such a rise without determination, guts, and a little luck. That's where the racial gap in privilege truly comes into play. And I think he wanted to show the world this truth with this video. Side note, the white guy rolling the blunt is Rapper EBE Bandz aka Billy Da Kid from Chicago, who was killed back in 2019.
Been saying same for year it rich privelege green privelege
100% right.
There's no race based privilege.
There is class privilege.
I live in seattle and there’s so many Indians in the tech field . They make a lot of money and they can be dark as black and I get judged because I’m white and have a mini wage job and not in tech or if I don’t dress fancy as a female .Indians don’t get judged or racist because people know they are more likely in tech
I take it as Adam calling out all the stereotypes on both sides and how we sound so stupid when we do it.
🔥reaction as always bruh!
My take too. We should all say I don't give a shit. Lol.
@@pamelawade7942That was exactly the point of this song in my opinion
He did a video with Stevie Knight the reactor saying he said it because he was close with black people while in prison. They called him that and vice versa he sounded real surprised when other black people weren’t cool with it 🥴
I agree…I also took from it as there are similarities in every race….white people living in trailer parks comparing to black people living in the inner city in the “hood”…people grow up in tough situations no matter what your skin color is and people are successful no matter what your skin color is…life is what you put into it and don’t let the media tell you that your race is supposed to live a certain way…bottom line we all have more in common then they want us to know…
I agree he’s telling the truth about how some people view things. He’s also right about letting outside influences start issues between everybody.
You are definitely the most respectful person i seen watching this video
I love your open mindedness and honesty!
Props to you for trying to train the way you speak and raise your kids right. Bravo.
Being country aint just bout hunting its about family its about keeping your word giving your shirt off your back to another wether its black white blue yellow its about being treated the way you want to be treated and its just about being a good person in general and mostly about loving our country and hoping for the right change. Most of us aren't racist but some are and theres no need but loved your reaction man 😫👊

@@stevenlavoie8897 damn right skin
No one listens too lyrics anymore they here one word they wanna hear and go wild. Hes a genius for keeping a real. Its hard to face your reality but its great to face it for closure/awareness. Great review video you were honest this song opens up the floor to talk about it.
Ugly truth>pretty lies
Been raised up in far SE Oklahoma and deal with this daily. Just part of my world, always has been snd sadly probably always will be! Peace, Love and may God bless you.
You are honest and thoughtful and fair. All the best. I appreciate running across this video
I’ve been called all that shit, being half and half. I lived in the projects and the T park. He was a spitting facts. There are good and bad folks in every place you go. My grandmother always told us just to judge people by there actions and character and that’s what I’m teaching my boys so hopefully one day, we as humans can get past the race issue. Great video tho brother
My daughter's 1/2 white & 1/2 Mexicano, I have 2 white kids and my baby boy is 1/2 black & 1/2 white...I have 1 white grand and the other six are all mikst of various flavors and ya know what? My kids, my grands and I have experienced so much blatant bigotry more than any full-blooded color because some folks can't stand the thought of the so-called "races" mixing it up and actually loving each other. I don't call it racism because it's downright hatred/bigotry for no damned reason other than to try and tell us who to care for, who's of value when there are NO RACES! There's only ONE and it's the HUMAN RACE y'all! We're all family, like it or not! I pity the ones who don't see their own bigotry ( regardless of their color) because they go to church and claim they follow Jesus Christ as their Master yet sow hatred/bigotry elsewhere so who is their real master?
The best part of this video was when you said you don’t speak that way because you don’t want your kids to hear you and then they will say the same things. Listen, I am a white male that raised my children to never judge anyone by the color of their skin you only judge them by their character. As long as we teach our children to be kind to people maybe all this ugliness will eventually go away. Life is to short to spend it hating people that you don’t even know.
Couldn't have put that better myself 👍
'Ignorance' just means 'a lack of knowledge'. We can all learn. Teach our children well. They are our future. Raising them up right with morals, values & ethics, no matter who they are or where they come from. We ALL just want Peace & Prosperity. Life is way too short as it is. We only have 'One' life to 'Love'!✊😇👍❤🎊
Man, I love this reaction.
The trailer park isn't much different than the projects. You get in and you just want out.
"Just do better ". Truth, brother.
"Trying to shine in the wrong way". That is why I subscribed to your channel. YOU are a good man!!!!!!
I like how your clean with everything and you go straight in with an open mind
Racial slurs were only ever thrown at me from people who did not know me, so I just shrug it off since it came from ignorance. Greg, I got mad respect for you in making sure you are a good role model for your kids and recognizing that you have to walk the walk in front of them, and not just talk the talk. Race does not matter. It is a person's character that counts!
I loved the way ACal talked about the stereotypes while acknowledging the good of people in both races. I also appreciate the last part of this song where he points out how we are being pitted against each other and as long as so many continue to fall for that propaganda they show on media every day instead of us standing together as the human race, then those "elites" continue to win because if we're fighting each other then we're not paying attention to what they're doing to all of us. Another wonderful reaction Greg! Much love to you and the family as always! 🙏🇺🇲❤️
You look beautiful ❤️
Basically hard times come in all colors. Most just want peace and to let individuals make their own decisions 🤘
The truth of the matter is that in most regions, the trailer park is equal to "the Projects". It takes a special drive to get out of either one. Congratulations and kudos to all of us that have.
Thank you for sharing this and the truths many refuse to acknowledge.
I was raised to believe sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me💯
Checkout Tom McDonald "Castles" 🏰 official music video. ✌🤘
Thats one of my favorite Tom MacDonald songs. Its brilliant.
I used to sing that all the time as a kid
Absolutely!! My Granny raised me to believe “but words will never harm me” she said yes they can hurt but not do us bodily harm.
Apparently in today's society words hurt a lot. Soft ass people.
No matter what your race is, at some point in your life, you will experience racism. It’s how you choose to deal with it that matters most. Some people just have thicker skin then others.
Yup exactly👏🏾
Stevie Knight was taken back by Adam's use of the N word in this as well. He wanted to understand more so he reached out to Adam. That turned into a stream with Adam and Stevie having a very good back and forth conversation that you should certainly listen to. Not really something you would probably want to react to but it's certainly a very productive conversation between two grown men who are honestly trying to understand and find common ground. Excellent example of how these conversation don't need to be aggressive. As always though, very good reaction and solid points of view.
It's just a word. As long as it's not used out of anger, I have no issue.
Stevie is closed minded and doesn't get it. The fact that he has a.problem with the word but says a Spanish person saying it doesn't bother him just a white person says it all. He didn't even really want to.listen to Adam. Shit he was trying to get around the fact his girl was white. He's like, she's Russian. Dude is a joke.

@@christopherjohnson7819 you are so right. Lost all respect for him and no longer watch is reactions, so disappointing. Glad I’m not the only one thinking that.
I watched that
I'm a country bumpkin now bro and I love your way of thinking we all da same we bleed red. Keep on keeping on my dude!!!
Your reaction was one of the best I’ve seen. Your analytics of it were spot on.
My mama was a girl when Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered, and she took his dream to heart. My siblings, and I grew up being told on a daily basis that our life was worth no more, or less than anyone else's. We were also told on a daily basis that if mama ever found out we were treating ANYONE like we were better than they were SHE would be the one picking the switch to use on our backsides. Those southern mamas ain't messing around when they talking about punishment either.
Now, my philosophy is: God made us all look different to test us, and make sure we were seeking HIM first in all things, even in the face of a stranger. I sure don't want to find myself standing in front of my maker trying to justify hatred toward any of HIS children after HE told me to love them as myself.
That’s one of the most intelligent things I’ve ever heard anybody say about anything. I love that you mentioned Southern mamas because I grew up that way too. There might be some people stuck in the old, backwards way of thinking but The South is just as much your home as it is mine.
Well SAID!!! 👏👏👏
Well said, Miss.🇺🇸

Best comment EVER! Love you too! 🥰
STRAIGHT FACTS!!!
How does this comment not have 1 million likes?????
I have- was confronting a “mom” about her kids messing around our house while we were gone- her and her hubby literally had to put down a crack pipe to answer the door- I came up respectful until she disrespected- I decided to walk away.. she circled me until she pushed the wrong button- called my 9 YEAR OLD “white trailer trash” ( we lived in a 3br house, then apartment), “dirty”, and a “bitch”… this country is so confused, backwards, and divided… why can’t we see we all bleed the same, and our graves are all same size??!!
You earned a new sub here dude. You articulate what you're trying to say well. You understand the message behind the lyrics and respected it. Some freak out because he said the N-word a few times. You were thrown off but knew the message wasn't racist, it was something deeper. Respect my dude.
Wow props!! Second video. You are spot on. I appreciate your ability to see the whole picture. Serious topic, put you on the spot; wanted to see your reaction on something crazy. U did AMAZING!!!
Thanks for doing this video I'm glad you have an opened mind
Man I seen several black people do a reaction to this video. Jumping out of there seat screaming all kinds of of racist bullshit against Adam C. But this dude doing this reaction….. bro you are a true class act dude. Much respect and love for you man. We need more people like you in the world. Much love bro! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
The reason for that is young youths today are brainwashed with "if something sounds a way when it has the N word in it that was said by someone other than black, it is Racisim.. I am.a black male and I think it is stupid.. they don't call it Racism when black call other blacks The N word but its a problem when someone else does it. It's not a one way street. Black men need to grow up nd stop.putting their self in that stereotypes. Uplift them selvs and do away with the N WORD.
@@orvillelewis3606 Or decide that words don't have power. People have power. Words take no action. People take action. That's the point of "call me redneck white-trash, I don't care..." You are right with what you said... But don't give words power they don't have. You have power. I have power. We can take action. A word has a short lifespan before it fades into nonexistence.
100% Respect brotha true class act keeping in real👏✊
no you havent. most are the same type of reaction
@@PJthePB definitely not the same reaction.
I grown up in both the projects and the trailer park. That's the reason I bust my ass every day so my family will have more and better than I had growing up
Was wondering when you would get around to this!! HOG FAMILY 4 LIFE 🎯😎
Great reaction man have a great day my brother from south Texas.
Love the song and loved the reaction. Really connected with what u were saying about the grown up in the trailer life.
Dude you have a great perspective of things and open minded. I really respect you. The best thing I heard you say was how you don't say certain things cause you don't want the little ones picking that up. We need more of that. That's why all these people are this way cause growing up that's the stuff the heard and was taught. Mad respect for that. Trailer park/ projects there is no different. If you go around both you will see more similarity than differences. Keep doing your thing.
I do love this song because I have seen these scenarios play out in person and it needs to be brought up. The one thing we will all learn is we are all more alike then people realize. Color doesn't dictate interest or personality.
I’m 50 and white, with other races. I also have seen things that weren’t right in my life. But in order to being an Army Brat, my dad was doing the same as the black fam across the street. Us kids lived for balling everyday! And we all were friends! Period!!
You see back then in FT.Bragg NC, we respected each other because our Mom or
Dad was serving our country protecting us from foreign or domestic! We were taught this as children! As Martin Luther King Jr. said “we are judged by our character, not by the color of our skin.” Those were words that were taught in my family and other Army kids as well. It start in the home! Just wish it would be out in the cities and communities striving and struggling to make it without a father present. Thank you for the video. I also have had four children who were taught the same,in their up-bringing. May God bless America 🇺🇸 and our citizens as well! If we see such racist people around, ignore it or speak up! This racism talk can be taken out of America 🇺🇸 and I believe in my heart that those racist people will be left out of their nonsense that they spew!
Childhood spent in the OC, Cali and my extended family all stayed in Compton area. Didn't directly deal w/racism until we moved to Atlanta, a total culture shock 4 me. There was a Klan march downtown that 1st week, and that was eye opening to see the robes ,etc. Got my Negro wake up call driving south to Florida coming across my 1st Sundown town w/the racist signage-it was a trip. This world will humble you real quick, I understood then the downside to living a shelter life and I am thankful for that wake up call.
I was hoping to see ur reaction on this one Adam is from Chicago and he knows how it is sounds like he was speaking alot of truth he spoke facts about both sides on each side of each race just good stuff ...keep grinding brother dig ur stuff
I love your opinion. You are amazing and yes this whole country is messed up and they want us to be separated. We should have each other’s backs. We are Americans. The world wants to take us over. We are born in this country and we are all equal. Love you! ❤️❤️

I work in construction for over 25 years and I have never been on a job where there wasnt a separation on day 1 but by the end of every job it's like a big family because at the end of the day we all realize that we are all there for the same reason to provide for our family and get the job done. Respect to all the wonderful people of all races that I have ever come to work with

Yo you a good dude the way you speak it’s like it’s from the heart most def subscribed
I appreciate your honesty Greg. Continue what you do and I hope people learned something from your insight.
YES I’VE BEEN CALLED EVERY SLUR IN THE BOOK, Even the N word by an elderly black lady!
Most of it was in the military, and military banter, I was never offended or let words hurt my feelings! You give people the power to affect you with some words, you lost! Much Love Greg! 🤘🏼😎 I dig your perspective!
p.s. do you even lift btuh? Haha? Mas respect, definitely got some guns! 💪
Got a 4 bedroom house for the last 40 years but lived in a moble home on a acre of land back in the day and loved it, the only reason I built the house was because of getting married, it's not always a bad way to live !
Still get called that even though I own my own home (paid in full) out in the woods. It's the same piece of land where I lived for over a year in a shed with one electric outlet and a hose. That said, I was just as happy and blessed in the shed as I am in the house. Amen
I watch a lot of reactions, and you are by far one of my favorite. You have a straight , honest, but kind demeanor. Thanks !
Been to 6 continents and deployed to 47 different countries. Saw it everywhere. Saw a lot of beautiful people too. My usual response has always been the same. "If my color and American accent pisses you off. Give me a second chucklenuts I haven't even started yet.
Honestly, that was one of the most honest reaction videos I have seen. You truly tried to put yourself in every person's shoes and perspective. You listened to the viewpoints and tried to relate. Honestly I was speechless on the same part you were haha. You just earned a follow family. Thank you for the video.
Thank you for being open minded going into the song, it’s a tough one to choke down with the lyrics coming from a white guy. And yes…, you are right about the trailer park. It’s tough to get out once your in. I grew up in a trailer park myself for most of my life. I’ve even lived next to individuals who were sometimes second and third generation in the trailer park. My parents sold drugs and did other illegal activities, so I really didn’t have the best start in life growing up but, I keep my nose clean and scratched to get out of there. You can do it, you just gotta have a strong mind
The moment the 99% realizes that labels is what separates us from being united, the 1% will lose. It's not even my opinion that we are all Human and we all bleed red and feel pain. We are of one people if we can look past all the labels.
How is it 2023 and I’ve never heard this song or seen this channel before! Ya’all we got to get this trending again!
My favorite part in that song was “they pin us against each other, sit back & watch it happen”!’ It’s happening everyday on the news.. I loved the reaction and I want the Poetic Justice poster!! New sup! I look forward to watching more of your videos!!
Also, that is Adam’s Cadillac in the video!!
This is a song I can definitely relate to. As a young white girl I grew up in a trailer park that looked just like this one positioned near the projects. I went to a school that was majority Black, Hispanic, and Asian with a few white kids sprinkled in. While my mom was at work I would walk to a friend's house down roads that are considered some of the most dangerous in Houston. I didn't know any better - this was my home. When I was 14 my mom moved us out in the middle of nowhere. Suddenly I found myself in a culture shock moving from the hood to the woods. This is a time (2002) where I seen true racism for the first time. The kids at school segregated themselves like it was something natural. I was very verbal about how I felt about what I saw, and got into a couple fights with the other white kids until they learned to sit tf down and stop saying dumb shit. Looking back now I feel that what I experienced was a privilege, because it allowed me to see things from a better perspective. It's possible to move our society forward, but everyone's gotta make an effort to sit down and talk.
I subscribed because you are a good dude and you see it from all perspectives. I appreciate that bro. We can all do better In this life.
What I like about the song is that he hits the negative stereo types in the first half of each verse, but then explains that that’s just a small group and generally the larger groups(white and black folks) are generally all good people, but for whatever reason people try to act like we don’t all have the common goal of trying to be better people.
Dude. Love the reaction. Great channel. Subscribed
Thank you Bro...
I grew up in between two rivaling projects! During the rise of crack... it was hard! Ppl say my speech and the way I act... I'm trying to be like other ppl! Naw, I jus grew like this! I seen racism in both aspects... my whole family was racists! After my black friends left my house after school, I'd get beat and told not to bring that problem back to their house... guess what, the next day, they'd be back!
I have 7 children... none look different at any race because they know individuals should get to show who they are, where they heart is, before any judgment on character! Thank you again... you the Real!
I'm white and I've been labeled everything from racist to dope dealer to pretty much everything where I live I've been a scapegoat more than I've been in person I know I'm not black or dark skinned or anything but it's wrong no matter what you are and I think it's b******* I'm not angry I'm white I just keep working hard hoping I'll get somewhere like everybody should the stereotypes are b*******
I have been called every racial slur you can be called when I lived in South Carolina. I can't believe that anyone hates/dislikes anyone based on their skin pigment or where they were born its not like you get to pick it or decide it. I truly think some people just look for a reason to hate!
Ok! 😬
Here for it!
Same
Man I know it’s been 5 months since you out this out but you’re the man. You’ve got a great view on life and all things concerned. We as people treat each other like shit and I wish it wasn’t the case. We all people. Color be damned. I love YOU bother.
You put this out* and love You Brother*. -can’t edit but that’s what I mean.
Nice...1st time viewer...I like ur style &.ur whole aura. Ur a good dude. Keep it up
That's a helluva good job on your reaction. This is a tough song. It's hard for me to hear Adam use that word, man, and use it with such confidence but I understand what he's doing. He's speaking to stereotypes and saying that we're all the same with flaws and strengths. He's doing it with such force. Props to you for this reaction.
1st time every seeing your content and I am not even really into these type of videos, however.... I chose to hit subscribe on this channel and it is straight up because of the way you present yourself as a human! I got respect for you based on this simple ass video.. Way to go for the human race!!!!
Not a Trump fan, but I have to know... How tf is it Trump's fault?
People always want someone to blame thats not them, Trump just seems to be the fall guy
Trump was not in office 20 years only 4 just saying
My thoughts exactly.
I've lived in the hood, the barrio, the suburbs and the country. Raised so poor that government cheese, peanut butter and the cheapest ALDI's bread for years was all we had with a drug and alcohol addicted parent. I have experienced the spectrum. I actually appreciated it as I have a wider view than most which informs my world view and allows real understanding. People are their choices and everyone can do better if they truly want to; especially with the internet.
I’m 74 years. I’m white. I lived in a trailer. My Dad was a drunk. I got called those names and many more. I learned to fight when I was just a little girl. Success is the best revenge.
We moved from hills. To trailer park 9 kids in a 3 bedroom for dad to get work. I moved to California at 18 with a baby. Never looked back. Im great now kids went to college. Im retired in Florida now. Loving life. Just found you today. But you keep me watching all old videos of songs I love. Your reactions are great.
You killed this reaction sir! And this song is America. The real america 🇺🇸
White boy from Kentucky. My dad was raised in a very very poor family and lived in a trailer most his life. My 1st and 2nd "house" was a trailer. Now I own a 3bd 1bth house on 2 acres right outside of town. Hard work a the right mindset anyone can get out of the projects/trailer park. Love the videos and keep up the good work 💪🏻💪🏿
Hey brother this was the most Love Field inclusive reaction I've seen of the song. I don't think anyone got the point of the song as much as you did. Much love dude much fucking love!
True character there. Much respect. Adam bashed and praised both races. Keep em coming, new subscriber here
