I am a black man (not mixed) that was raised by a white mother. This interview really hit home with me!!! My Mom taught me very similar lessons about life and this foolish world we live in… I love you Mom ❤️Thank you!!!🙏🏾
i can only sympathize with you bro, i can't imagine what that must've been like. being born in Africa i never even knew what it was to be black until i moved to north America.
He means he never knew abt racism, & most foreign people think that’s what we mean when we say “black experience”. Everything in Africa is black lol just don’t gotta deal with racism like Americans do
R.I.P to Ms. DAVIDSON she took in a young black child claimed him loved him and taught him the world. Absolutely beautiful smh need more people like her in life too much division and hate
They are out there. Unfortunately, there's more than a few people who hate the idea of mixed-race adoptions. To that I say, love has no color, and where would you be without love?
He just does what he’s feeling at the moment. Most people don’t know how to live like that, they’re too worried about what people think. Tommy’s good people
I can relate. I was abandoned at 2 yrs old at a bus station in Brazil where I was born. The local police brought me to an orphanage and I stayed there until I was 7 when I was adopted by white Americans and brought to America. I experienced some of the same things Tommy Davidson did in regards to my own race and learning what it is to be a person of color in America. I did all the dumb shit that "they" make you think you supposed to do as a black man. Wasted yrs of my life in institutions, just to realize at 28 that what I was doing was wasting my life living a lie. I am now 42 and I haven't been back. I have a family, cars, a wife and a job..peace of mind
THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL, THOUGHTFUL AND EDUCATIONAL INTERVIEWS ON VLAD TV...I LOVE VLAD TV BECAUSE OF THE MANY SURPRISES THAT COMES WITH AND TO THIS PLATFORM
Tommy Davidson is the REALEST💯 Worked on The Proud Family with him back in early 2000’s and he was always genuine, honest, upfront, fun and funny, and ALWAYS made work the most enjoyable experience (for everyone; I was just a PA at that time - he used to call me ‘Baby Boy’ bc I was fresh to the industry 🤣). NOTHING BUT RESPECT BROTHER TOMMY💯🙏🏾
@Passionate Lao Oh please his real mom didnt know jackshit about how he would end up, that piece of shit person that birthed him left him in a Fuckin TRASH CAN. Don’t tell me she KNEW god would protect him. SHE THREW HIM AWAY! He got lucky to be blessed to gain such a strong new mother
This whole Tommy Davidson interview is most definitely top 5 Vlad interviews. He been dropping gems in every clip. I got the highest level of respect for this man.
MAN!!!!! If Tommy doesn’t drop a gem he makes u drop a tear wit all the trauma he’s been through in life, this brother was blessed wit the heart & will of a lion
I can relate, growing up not quite hood enough to hang with the cool black kids because of the values my parents instilled in me, till this day I still kinda catch that flack because I stay away from the bullshit and don't even acknowledge the hood boogers n cats automatically assume im uppity, nah im just aware thats all
Those last points his mother gave was as honest of a message as I’ve ever heard relayed from a white person to another black man in my life R.I.P. to her she was a real one
Many times I have heard this man speak and he has delivered some profound messages. This is one and I learned first, talk to your children about life truthfully secondly, never be late. From his mom to us.
This low key of one best interviews that I watched that I didn't know I needed to watch, from beginning when he broke down he didn't view race from living on the farm. I've been going back watching his early stand ups
My mother always told me growing up that as a Black person, you have to work at least TWICE more than your white counterpart. Man, did this segment hit me in that place! 🙏🏾
We have it over achieve in everything I learned that through being a fan of and participating in boxing basketball and football it’s even deeper now in days because they even give our women benefits and sympathy systematically to further disadvantage us.
@@kinkane5566 wrooonnnggg. Although that sounds all good and all but the reality is that you and others (who usually aren’t of color)think tat life is such an equal opportunity for all. I’m a manager at a very popular retailer and the only black person in the entire store. My fellow managers who are not of color literally get away with damn near anything. One of them alters her time punches bc she’s always chilling in the the beak room and bull shiting. On the flip side I get heat for staying 2-3 min in the break room after a 10 min or 30 min break. We both have the same exact job and the General manager (white guy) who turns a blind eye to her altered time punches but is up my ass bc I wanted to rest alil longer than usual after doing my job and covering hers. But yes “we all have to work twice as hard” RIIIIIGHT🙄
What a woman his (white) mother was!! I can relate to life lessons like that cuz my father gave them to me and if it wasn't for him I wouldn't be the stand up black MAN that I am.
You're a lucky man indeed. We all have to remind ourselves to be thankful for things like that. And, when we can, to understand that people with no or poor role models have so little to go on in trying to simply invent themselves from no knowledge or understanding or familiarity with something sensible and good.
Jim Carey will tell you quick he loves his black brothas. He said Keenen Waynes was the only 1 who would give him a chance. An loves Tommy singing to Brandy's I wanna be down😅
This one needs to go VIRAL… Seriously.. His mom told it just like it was… PERIODT… she knew what what she was doing when it came to raising him and she kept it 💯 too.. Goes to show you.. White Americans see the injustice but (some not ALL) will not stand up and speak out… Bravo Mrs. Davidson.. BRAVO!!!
I am an African-American coming up on the year of losing my mother and the ancestors gaining her. Brother Davidson described what real mothers are here. My mother was one and Black; his, just happen to be White. I was hoping she was still with us as I would love to have met her. Hopefully, my mother gets that opportunity. Rest in Perfect Peace & Power ladies, soldiers.
@@jarlymorgan America is a continent too, actually two: North America & South America. Maybe you missed that in Geography class. BTW, don't tell me how to define myself, first learn your continents AND THEN STILL stay out of my business.
First let me say sorry for your loss. My mother went home 20 years ago and I still miss her. Secondly I chose to believe all true mothers and fathers greet each other when they return home.
@@letstalk1050 Thanks. Sorry for your loss as well. I agree with you. They are together showing pics of their sons and daughters, grandchildren fosho. LOL.
Man God works in mysterious ways it was a blessing and it was meant for him to be raised by that woman, no one better could have found him and given him as much knowledge and perspective about life, this probably is my favorite Vlad TV interview
I never comment or almost never. This is the best interview I’ve ever seen in your channel. I think so far. Very powerful. Very educational ,thoughtful and loving.
We dont all hate you 🤣 you do have friends and allys 💪I used to get annoyed when I saw statements that may insinuate that all white people are racist for the selfish reason of "hey im not a racist" but I realised thats not the way to go about it because its bigger then me, we need to stop letting racists think that they have the support of every other white person, they read the comments saying that they have this massive support group and they start getting bolder. The truth is they are played out and alone. Single them out. I actually feel a very small bit of pity for racists, how ignorant and small minded they have to be to hate someone for the colour of their skin or the language they speak. What really pisses me off tho is now that they arent as comfortable being open about it in fear of losing their jobs, they hide behind the safety of a youtube/instagram accounts and the shit they feel comfortable saying iirks me that bit more because the dont have the nuts to stand by what they are saying in real life with their identity attached to it. Just a bunch of sad little trolls.
It wasn't the struggle she understood, it was the effect. In the totallity she wouldn't be able to understand it because it's an experience she's never lived. All she can see is the effect.
@@biketron Some of them may not have an understanding of that particular struggle, but they know it's something they wouldn't want to experience to have a better understanding of it. It's really as simple as if I don't want it to happen tome, I'm not going to do it to anyone else.. If someone did something that hurt me, or made feel bad, I wouldn't do it to anyone else because if it hurt me it would probably hurt them too.
This interview hit my hard and deep. "You can't be late but your sister can." That phrase says alot. She was a very smart woman and Tommy was lucky to have her as his mom. God blessed her with wisdom and God blessed Tommy with the insight to listen and apply that wisdom in his life. Thank you Tommy for sharing this life changing wisdom with us. May God continue to bless you in your life. 🙏🏾👍🏾🤗😊
Love you Tommy Davidson and appreciate you! Most humble famous person I've ever met. He wasn't a jerk like so many other countless celebrities that feel they are no longer classified as normal human being. This guy is genuine and a breath of fresh air as well as funny. Your mom raised a wonderful man. I appreciate all you've done
I was wondering about Tommy, happy to hear from him and how he does his best no matter what. Truly a Meek Man. And one who words hold weight positively.
Same thing with us Mexicans.. I was told once by an older Chicano that us Mexicans have to work twice as hard as everyone else, to make it in the corporate world. I'm 33 now and boy was he right.
This is a conscious conversation about race issues. I pray that alot of our youths hear this conversation. It's so easy to gangbang but it's hard following your dreams in life. Real Rough & Tough people are true G's who follow thier dreams....
It’s easy to gangbang because the power’s that be allow it only in the urban areas, it is not tolerated outside of those areas. However we as a people need to wise up and see the wool over our eyes that is allowing us to destroy each other
This is interview was amazing, I never was a big fan of this dude but I am intrigued by his character and look at him differently now when I see him in his movies and etc
I met tommy davidson backstage at a stevie wonder concert spoke to him for a little… humble dude.. never imagined what his life story looked like… its crazy watching this interview!
I never knew how he was raised but I've always thought he was very talented.He should be way bigger as a movie star and comedian imo.His Mom sounds like a great person so respect to that woman.
In the black community, when you're well behaved, respectful as a teen it's considered lame or looked at as negative. Cussing, picking fights, being arrogant and ignorant is viewed as a good thing. Growing up, it's all we knew. It's hard to rewire and reprogram the adult mind when as adolescents, our whole universe revolved around fitting in and doing what our homies was doing. It takes a strong mind to be different and be who you were destined to be. Salute to this man for being himself.
What black community are you from? Because I had a completely diff experience. Don’t speak for all blacks or make seem like we all embrace negativity. It depends on who you surround yourself with, not us collectively

Stumbled upon this down the utube rabbit hole. What an incredible interview. Being a Canadian, it’s always puzzled me how severe racism is the farther south I travel. I’ll never understand it, but, kudos to Mom Davidson for giving Tommy the tools for this world. It’s really the number one thing any parent should do for their child.
I always thought he was all ways over the top with his comedy,he is actually the least to take off during the original in living color....His story is inspirational.....

She didnt teach him CPT

Scammer...
Thank you for this video. The wisdom of it hit me hard.
*I really enjoyed this interview very refreshing*
I’m learning some of these comedians, have gone through a lot trauma. They crack jokes and smile to hide the tears!!
Oh yea. Lots of comedians turn to humor to cope with the awful things that happen to them. It's like a form of therapy.
This is the exact video I needed to hear🕉🙏🙌
He was blessed to have a mom like that
Stumbled upon this down the utube rabbit hole. What an incredible interview. Being a Canadian, it’s always puzzled me how severe racism is the farther south I travel. I’ll never understand it, but, kudos to Mom Davidson for giving Tommy the tools for this world. It’s really the number one thing any parent should do for their child.
I’m downloading this
Keepin this in the cut

Powerful and insightful.💯
I always thought he was all ways over the top with his comedy,he is actually the least to take off during the original in living color....His story is inspirational.....
Damn this touched the hell of me!!!
Tommy’s mom is an angel. It really warmed my heart to hear about her beautiful soul. I’m happy he shared these stories about his beautiful mother.
