Yes a great reaction! Love that he SAW but sad about the things He didn't SEE! But the That was the Point.... The Guitarist....LOOKS like Trayvon Martins Father. The Pants....LOOK like those worn by Confederate Troops AND he's wearing "Chains" instead of a shirt. The Gun used to shoot is carried away safely in a red cloth....while the Human being is just dragged away..... WE are Entertained and Distracted by what we See....while Horrors are happening in the Background! Someone was ran over....Another was pushed or jumped from a high place.....did anyone SEE that or were we too Focused on the Dancing, being Entertained?
Halfman Halfamazing thank you so much the video was amazing this is the second time I've had to upload it and they are trying to take it down again the first time it was uploaded had over 50,000 views and they took it down now they are trying to take it down again if you like what you saw check out my other reaction videos there a little bit funnier and don't forget to subscribe I'm looking forward to hearing from you
I watched many reaction videos to this song, and I gotta say, your reactions are the realest. One thing I've noticed throughout everyone's reaction videos is after the first shooting scene leading up to the second shooting scene, everyone forgotten the fist shooting seconds afterwards and went back to smiling and etc. As soon as the second shooting scene, that snapped everyone right back into shock and grabbed their attention even more. Then as the video continued, they forgotten about it. This portrays life exactly on point here in the US, we have become so numb to the violence. As for the video itself, this is hands down the best video I've seen in my entire life. This video took on so many issues occuring right now. I just hope others follow suit and not let these issues be ignored any longer.
Look before he was with the same people dancing and he does like he was beeing shooting the black girl but he didn’t had gun after see that he didn’t had gun people running like it’s scared everyone to see black people without a gun then he take a pause and we can hear someone scream and locked a door we train students all around the world to deal with terrorist attacks, take refuge in a classroom, close the door and stay calm is part of the process so here he is seen as a terrorist someone very dangerous because he no weapon and someone say on the comments that 17 seconds was for the 17 students who died in parkland school where was an white armed cop who don’t do nothing to stop the boy who killed the students he was outdoor on a golf car so i think he took Two places thé black man unarmed Who scares that’s why they running to school to be safe but it was a wrong idea cause he was also the cop Who was armed but stay outdoor act like he wasn’t that’s What we can’t hear the shots so they (black man and cop) can to relax and forget like with a cigarette like everybody does cause it’s hard to have 5 minutes without seeing someone smoking but thé cigarette Also have a meanning i think a lot of people including black people smoked the origin of the first cigarettes comes from the practice in the second half of the seventeenth century by the people without a money to recover the cigarette butts thrown by the rich Spanish she impose herself around 1830 after she was brought back from Spain by the soldiers (he wear a confederate army pant)who were the highest ranking smokers they was sent to them cigarettes help them when smoking to forget decompress etc. From the horrors they saw and did Also when it was too cold they was thinking that cigarettes help them to warm up all this being addictive illusions then the cigarette is spread to all the people and they always have control over it through legislations so on our émotions and money they give us
Oh wow I didn’t know that. I’m 21, the only thing I remember about Rodney King was “can’t we all just get along”, my dad told me about the riots too... he was a few cars behind the white guy that got pulled out of the car and beaten.
I’ve watch A LOT of these reactions this is my favorite so far. For your demeanor before watching it to your thoughts during and after the video. Man the reactions to the parts that I expected the greatest reaction were great
Dude ...i had the same reaction...now I can't watch it without getting a lump in my throat...watched it multiple times,...so much there to miss...have an awesome day!..
I'm still speechless myself about this video. If everyone from every music genre would do more music on these tough issues our kids would come out of the trance our corrupted society has them under. Because it is them who are truly hurting and missing out on great things. Thank you for this reaction video.
Ain't that the truth! This comment and your other comment are reasons I'll never become a "TH-cam star" they want glam and what's hot/sells. Truth doesn't sell as much
This is probably the realist reaction video I watched so far. I liked that you are real with your emotions. You didn't hide that you were uncomfortable unlike a lot of these youtubers who laugh to cover up their real emotions
Way to go👏👏👏 out of all the videos that I've watched from white people reacting. you actually got the picture!! you nailed it right on the head!! great response👏👏👏👏👏👏
Awww thank you. It's a very powerful video with an extremely powerful message and this country of ours needs to wake the f up thank you so much for watching feel free to check out my other reaction videos Sommore a little over-the-top though but it's done in humor also don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you
It's supposed to teach people who are already blind about the injustices in this world. I already know about them thanks for your assumption though random person on the internet that does not know me at all
Dude I am so happy this fills my heart. Donald nailed it your reaction is perfect because this is what builds conversation and understanding. Your visceral reaction is what we need. This is art at the highest level. I know you did this a while ago. I have become obsessed with Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover ( btw no relation) I hope that you were able to dig deeper and uncover all the nuanced meaning in the images he presents. You have by far the most honest and legit reaction I have seen and I appreciate it. You sir have got it.
sheila taylor I'm white, but I live in the hood, where a man was shot and killed just 20 feet from my front door. I live it, so I get it. And I see how the police "be tripping" coming through harassing my innocent neighbors just for breathing while black.
sheila taylor but you know what? I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. There's something about being a part of the black community where we look out for each other, show each other love and respect and neighbors that I never met before will stop to check on me if they see I'm in need of help. Just locked my keys in my car, with it running; a neighbor was driving by and saw I needed help and got me into my car in no time and said, "Happy mother's day." I grew up in an all white neighborhood and we did not have that kind of love for our neighbors that we have here in the hood. I do care about the gun violence, but it would never make me want to leave my home. And I understand a lot of the violence comes from people just trying to survive. It's not anything that white Americans can understand, for the most part. They think it's so easy to just go out and get a job, but I already know that employers are going to call applicants back first with the names Becky and Chad, while they look over applicants named Tomeka or Tyrone. Hell, my name is Tonya and even I have a hard time getting a call back from employers when I know I'm more than qualified for a job. If more white Americans would just take the time to listen to their African American friends and try to understand the struggles, this country could come together once and for all, but most of us don't care so I never expect it to change.
Tonya Book ...it’s not only in black crime areas...I live in a nice area and the other day 8 cop cars chased a car down...scary...I’m from a black area and when I moved I found out it’s everywhere...my car got broken into 2 times in my driveway....what I meant by saying he’s the only white male I didn’t get mad at is because other reactions and shallow funny comments from other Caucasian reactions made me mad. I got mad at a couple black reactions and I was so disappointed on their lack of knowledge about systematic racism...unless it’s taught we as people will never learn and here we are to this day and age still clueless.....that made me mad....I love every race of people...this may sound cliche but my nephew baby mom is white and she’s my niece...I hang with her more than my best friends...I have all nationalities in my family and I wouldn’t want it any other way...America is divided and that’s so sad....but I do thank you for reaching out to me....you getting it really do my heart happy...I saw a video about the new black panther party...the things I saw made my heart almost stop and made my blood boil...I then started looking at the comments and it was scary...I think when I first started talking to them I was everything but the child of God....the GOD in me made me love them no matter what they said...I never once clapped back in a negative way...after I think 4 months of that the verbiage started to change...one tuber said they checked my bio and it showed that I’m not that person...next thing I know we was getting along and I got a marriage proposal...a couple of them prayed for me cause I have a brain tumor....somebody said something racist to me afterward and one of them protected me...I started crying cause in 4 months we changed the whole dynamics of that topic and just starting being cordial...I started getting sick again bad and I haven’t check that feed in a minute but I know I made friends in spite of why they was mad from what we all saw.I started crying when I saw that video but in the end that situation changed and I now I know we all change for the betterment..
As a military family moving all over, I can say the reaction you just had is the exact reaction I had when we moved to downtown Baltimore on York Road. It wasn't a once a year thing or a once a month thing, it was a three times a week thing. It never got old, it always brought a tear to your eye and you always said "What the fuck" Want a fun example? When something happened, lets say a break in , someone busting into a car, the black neighbors would come to me (white) to call the police because they would dispatch 3 police cars and a helicopter. If they did it, they would show up an hour later. That is a fact and that would happen a few times a month. This is America. Is this what our men and woman die for? Is that true freedom? My brothers and sisters? Your friends and family who enlist? What are we fighting to protect? I think you should ask yourselves that next time you decide you dont need to vote or you do vote. Little rant from an old Marine. I enjoyed your reaction and thanks for doing what you do.
All we are doing is keeping the rich richer and the poor poorer we are afraid of our government when it should be our government that is afraid of us its people I've been saying that for quite some time. And thank you for your service you're a better person than me I don't think I could ever do the things you have done you have my respect. I'm glad you enjoyed the video feel free to check out my other ones don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you
Mad respect from this man. That was my reaction when I 1st saw this and I had major goosebumps. I had goosebumps the moment he pulled the gun out and shot the guitarist.
Thank you. Feel free to check out my other reaction videos some are a little Bolder than others and you can find me on Facebook at facebook.com/themannel Don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you
I'm also in love with this video. Now everyday I'm watching reaction videos because I love hearing people discuss it. To me this video is the modern day "Strange Fruit". Glover is an artistic genius! I enjoyed your reaction.
Yeah I got those a few times myself actually LOL it was on point I'm glad you like the video feel free to check out my other reaction videos they're a little bit Bolder but done with humor don't forget to subscribe if you haven't and I look forward to hearing from you
Your reaction is literally making me cry. Thank you for being so open to this videos dramatics. Because it’s how must of us see this country. You’re awesome
Donald Glover is an actor, and director. He's on a show called Atlanta which shows a lot of also what's going in here as well. He's also on a show called Community. He's in the new Star Wars movie. I'm glad to see that you get his concept. There are other musicians that are doing similar work. J.Cole is one. Check his new video out if you havent already. He also brings a message with his video. There are numerous others, who have been trying to get this message across for decades...
So far I liked your reaction to the beginning of the video which I got goose pumps too. The dancing at the beginning reminds me of the documentary and or movies where slaves have the same dance moves and then the way he stands while shooting just an exaggeration of our dancing culture and then when the kids start following him he does this skip and looks like the pied piper in a sense. So much can be taken from this video....
Came back here in August 2020 and it has so much more meaning. Those kids in face masks, burning in the streets and so shocking that people get killed by guns but when he points his fingers, everyone ducks! A masterpiece of how broken America has become.
Thank you and thank you for watching feel free to check out my other reaction videos they are a little bit funnier and if you haven't already don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you I wish I could like your comment more than once lol
Your reaction was perfect, and I've been stuck watching the reactions to this video all morning, and you were one of a few that understood the meaning of this video. ❤️
The Mannel Talk about understanding something right from the rip and being open minded!! You definitely saw this video and had the same reaction as me. Awesome job bro.
This gave me goose bumps too :( my dad cried watching this, and he never cries. He just retired from the army after 26 years and been to war and seen hell and seen unforgettable tragedies and if this makes him feel like that then wtf is really going on here?
Here, because resent news from America made me remember this "short-musical" that made me cry 2 years ago. Thank you for this - from the past - horrifically relevant at present in all sorts of ways (nobody seems to see the young man jumping to his death...for example...Nobody saw the white horse....everyone above was videoing the violence below with their cell-phones... ). It is a masterpiece. A very chilly one.
They made you take down your first upload fam? that's fucked up...No worries though no matter how many times you gotta reupload your reaction is gold. Your genuine sense of alarm and compassion is palpable. Salute
Thank you it was definitely a mind-blowing video I don't do many reactions nowadays it's just too much of a hassle with all the copyright laws but I do still do videos here on TH-cam so feel free to subscribe if you haven't already and I look forward to hearing from you
its excellent because even though he frames in a "black man" perspective? these problems exist for all americans.. the violent culture and the way we let celebrities and entertainment distract from all the real destruction of life and our society.. Its great that you caught that..
Kelly Robinson Just because you identify with it doesn't make the issues shown black only. The 17 seconds for parkland, the TH-cam shooter reference right after, is about violence. If you view him as the distraction then he's also saying the black/white issue is part of that distraction.
Kelly Robinson ...???? Im black.. While i understand this idea of white folks co-opting things... this is a little different because of the gun violence in schools and movies and Vegas.. etc.. This truly is about America and how we are ALL asleep at the wheel..
MrRasheed7 Glad others can see fully around themselves. The issue is people only want themselves to be labeled victims, when there are many more than just them. Pathetic, really.
LOL You = Me watching this for the first time LMAOOO If you weren't this shook upon seeing this video, IDK what is wrong with you. Thanks for making this vid!!!
Shanée Paige Thank you for your comment because I seriously reflected upon myself after watching this because I barely flinched. Seeing your comment makes me want to evaluate myself all over again.
No, I think all of your reactions were appropriate. I think a lot of us are desensitized to violence, but where the heavy hitting messages struck, you were for sure shook by the images.
Couldn't agree more! Not only his reaction seems genuine, he gets the freaking message and imagery that most miss, and I also agree with him, the video is perfect in every aspect and we need more music like his.
I did comment on your reaction awhile back and honestly this video still gives me chills. Cannot believe why no one caught onto to what he said 'look at what I am whipping up'...all is playing out in the background while everyone enjoys the music and video up front. America is so screwed up and will NEVER get it.
I really loved your reaction, super genuine. Also if you like this content from Glover I would check out his show Atlanta absolutely anyone can like the show it’s been winning a lot of awards. He’s also from community, Spider-Man homecoming and he is Lando in the new Solo movie
Thank you. Just being honest. A lot of people tend to go over the top like it's pre-planned with their reactions. When I watch a video for reaction videos I only watch what I haven't seen or heard you get my first reaction and my honest reaction
You're gonna love learning about Don Glover! I assume you're watching Solo next Friday? He plays Billy D Williams. Plus 2 seasons of Atlanta. Plus his stand up comedy. Plus the awesome movie Mystery Team. +++
Mike Jackson Star Wars fan so naturally of course I will be seeing that movie the lady won't like it so much she's not a Star Wars fan which is a sin if you ask me lol
Thanks. Always real and never sugar coated here. Check out my other reaction videos and don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you :)
I could tell he really didn't watch it before when he started talking about "oohh choir! I love choirs" lol I was like he going be in for a rude awakening in a second lol
The Mannel I had your same reaction and I don't live in the states. It's a master piece especially since I am in the Arts ! Simple yet powerful interpretation. Sad it can be applied to the Caribbean now too, especially about the bystanders that just film and do nothing. It's so sad
mii hood I agree. I've been looking on TH-cam to see if they have the same reaction I did. Lost count on watching it. The song is a wake up for every where
Brooke Kilpatrick thank you it was a very powerful video it was definitely something that would blow your mind and I'm glad I experienced it and I'm glad I caught it for everyone else feel free to check out my other reaction videos they are a big bolder and don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you
This song serves as a wake up call to the worsening violence and inequality in America and how social media distracts us from what’s actually going on. Hands down the most powerful and impactful music video I’ve ever seen.
The Mannel yeah I remember man. Sorry to hear you’re under the weather! My friend has a cold & is off to Finland for 4 days in about 12 hrs! Here’s hoping everyone is fine and we all keep on rocking x
To me it makes you think. What can we all do to make things better as a society. Not hate our fellow man but start working towards a better future. This video is just AWESOME!!!!!!!
To date... this is still one of my favorite and best reaction videos I’ve ever seen. This vid kinda put you on the map back then bro. Keep pressing forward, don’t give up on your goals man! 👍🏽
I've Subscribed! Your reaction was the Most Genuine I've seen this far and on that basis felt an instant human connection with you! 💛 I was teary-eyed 💜.
The man in the beginning with the guitar is Travyon Martins dad. They are dancing to distract you from whats going on in the background. Much like pop culture.
by far, you have the most genuine reaction to this video. it's amazing how (I don't want to be racist) a white person is much more emotional and woke than all the other reactions I've seen. damn dude, you have my like!
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it was an amazing video feel free to check out my other reaction videos some are a bit Bolder but funnier and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already I look forward to hearing from you
Love your reaction, man. BTW - Donald Glover, no relation to Danny Glover (as you mention near the end). His parents were a postman and a daycare provider. Brilliant guy who made it on his own merits, no "ins" in the business like famous parents - writer, director, actor, stand-up comedian, songwriter, singer, dancer. Absolute genius.
Best reaction ever!
Yes a great reaction!
Love that he SAW but sad about the things He didn't SEE!
But the That was the Point....
The Guitarist....LOOKS like Trayvon Martins Father.
The Pants....LOOK like those worn by Confederate Troops AND he's wearing "Chains" instead of a shirt.
The Gun used to shoot is carried away safely in a red cloth....while the Human being is just dragged away.....
WE are Entertained and Distracted by what we See....while Horrors are happening in the Background!
Someone was ran over....Another was pushed or jumped from a high place.....did anyone SEE that or were we too Focused on the Dancing, being Entertained?
Him: "I love church music..." Me: you about to hate it...
Awwww
I felt so bad for him when he said that..
I think the same hahaha nice reaction
lol as soon as i said that, i was like uh oh
Jennifer Cash I was thinking the same thing I felt bad for him because I knew what was coming lol
That was the most genuine reaction I've seen so far. Amazing.
Halfman Halfamazing thank you so much the video was amazing this is the second time I've had to upload it and they are trying to take it down again the first time it was uploaded had over 50,000 views and they took it down now they are trying to take it down again if you like what you saw check out my other reaction videos there a little bit funnier and don't forget to subscribe I'm looking forward to hearing from you

Now its 8 minutes at 46 seconds
The irony of the Captain America shield sitting in the background.

I was looking at that, too.
Cars at the end... black poeple that got pulled over by cops and beaten or shot... Rodney Kings 87 Hyundai is there...
pigidly and that doctors Cadillac, I noticed that one too.
Yes the light on the cars still on warning
Oh wow I didn’t know that. I’m 21, the only thing I remember about Rodney King was “can’t we all just get along”, my dad told me about the riots too... he was a few cars behind the white guy that got pulled out of the car and beaten.

When something happened, lets say a break in , someone busting into a car, the black neighbors would come to me (white) to call the police because they would dispatch 3 police cars and a helicopter. If they did it, they would show up an hour later. That is a fact and that would happen a few times a month. This is America. Is this what our men and woman die for? Is that true freedom? My brothers and sisters? Your friends and family who enlist? What are we fighting to protect?
I think you should ask yourselves that next time you decide you dont need to vote or you do vote.
Little rant from an old Marine. I enjoyed your reaction and thanks for doing what you do.
All we are doing is keeping the rich richer and the poor poorer we are afraid of our government when it should be our government that is afraid of us its people I've been saying that for quite some time. And thank you for your service you're a better person than me I don't think I could ever do the things you have done you have my respect. I'm glad you enjoyed the video feel free to check out my other ones don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you
AGAIN.. the BEST reaction! Congrats from Brazil!
I kinda feel bad for this man. Probs blew his mind. But great genuine reaction.
Mad respect from this man. That was my reaction when I 1st saw this and I had major goosebumps. I had goosebumps the moment he pulled the gun out and shot the guitarist.
I knew I would like this reaction.
Thank you. Feel free to check out my other reaction videos some are a little Bolder than others and you can find me on Facebook at facebook.com/themannel

me to i feel like you should watch this video crispy and rozier th-cam.com/video/lki7nI-Y-yc/w-d-xo.html
Me too. Best reaction I’ve seen. Truth
I was thinking the same thing after the first min of watching. he nail the key points in the end also.
Shared your video on my Facebook page after sharing the original video itself. The best reaction, and after thoughts and comments
I'm also in love with this video. Now everyday I'm watching reaction videos because I love hearing people discuss it. To me this video is the modern day "Strange Fruit". Glover is an artistic genius! I enjoyed your reaction.
Loved your reaction. I agree, perfect video.
You're honest reaction GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS!
Yeah I got those a few times myself actually LOL it was on point I'm glad you like the video feel free to check out my other reaction videos they're a little bit Bolder but done with humor don't forget to subscribe if you haven't and I look forward to hearing from you
The deeper you dive into the details the more your heart breaks. This is our F'ing family and we are failing our family
I was touched by your reaction....you are woke and stay that way my brother!!
Great, sincere reaction. Makes you think....
Your reaction is literally making me cry. Thank you for being so open to this videos dramatics. Because it’s how must of us see this country. You’re awesome
Awesome reaction... you understand true art because it’s always hard to describe.
Thank you so much 😀
One of the best reaction videos. I enjoyed his response very much
Donald Glover is an actor, and director. He's on a show called Atlanta which shows a lot of also what's going in here as well. He's also on a show called Community. He's in the new Star Wars movie. I'm glad to see that you get his concept. There are other musicians that are doing similar work. J.Cole is one. Check his new video out if you havent already. He also brings a message with his video. There are numerous others, who have been trying to get this message across for decades...
Cynthia McKinney Atlanta is his show
Sissi ( ͡º ͜ʖ ͡º) I know it is. I said he's a director, but I didn't mention that Atlanta is his show...
Cynthia McKinney got u, just clarifying for people that didn't know
17 sec pause was parkland
Its brilliant that you can hear a child scream, the heavy doors lock, and then silence, just like what kids are trained to do in reality
I lived in Charleston when that happend. I was about 8 and my mom told me about it but I didn’t really get to know why it mattered. Now I know
@@loud_hailer6240 shit I didn't even notice that!
I am glad that you were able to get the meaning. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
So far I liked your reaction to the beginning of the video which I got goose pumps too. The dancing at the beginning reminds me of the documentary and or movies where slaves have the same dance moves and then the way he stands while shooting just an exaggeration of our dancing culture and then when the kids start following him he does this skip and looks like the pied piper in a sense. So much can be taken from this video....
I've seen over 20 reactions and yours by far the best. New Subscriber here.
Thank you so much hopefully you like my other videos some are a bit bolder than others but with some humor I look forward to hearing from you
Niiiiiiiiicccccccccceeeeeeeeee reaction my man. Showed that you had no preview of it before. It was genuine!
Came back here in August 2020 and it has so much more meaning. Those kids in face masks, burning in the streets and so shocking that people get killed by guns but when he points his fingers, everyone ducks! A masterpiece of how broken America has become.
Your goosebumps gave me goosebumps!
Awww :)
This is by far the best reaction video so far, he should get a million views
Thank you and thank you for watching feel free to check out my other reaction videos they are a little bit funnier and if you haven't already don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you I wish I could like your comment more than once lol
I am happy that you got the message. We really do have to change our thought process. The most honest video I've seen.
Thank you. I agree 100%
lol, you're outro gave me chills, 3 years later America still like this
Your reaction was perfect, and I've been stuck watching the reactions to this video all morning, and you were one of a few that understood the meaning of this video. ❤️
Thank you. I just uploaded a new one today dealing with black lives matter swing by check it out and share it
Your very first shock reaction re: the gunshot had me click "like". I felt the goosebumps you got. Thank you for your heart in the matter ❤️
From the time you paused the video i knew you got goosebumps. your reaction is one of the most realest reactions i have seen
This is my favorite reaction EVER
You can tell you have so much heart. Great reaction
The Mannel Talk about understanding something right from the rip and being open minded!! You definitely saw this video and had the same reaction as me. Awesome job bro.
Your reaction is the best! I keep watching it over and over again
This gave me goose bumps too :( my dad cried watching this, and he never cries. He just retired from the army after 26 years and been to war and seen hell and seen unforgettable tragedies and if this makes him feel like that then wtf is really going on here?
Here, because resent news from America made me remember this "short-musical" that made me cry 2 years ago.
Thank you for this - from the past - horrifically relevant at present in all sorts of ways (nobody seems to see the young man jumping to his death...for example...Nobody saw the white horse....everyone above was videoing the violence below with their cell-phones... ).
It is a masterpiece. A very chilly one.
They made you take down your first upload fam? that's fucked up...No worries though no matter how many times you gotta reupload your reaction is gold. Your genuine sense of alarm and compassion is palpable. Salute
I think I’ve watched your reaction a dozen times lol. Genuinely sincere. Loved it.
Thank you it was definitely a mind-blowing video I don't do many reactions nowadays it's just too much of a hassle with all the copyright laws but I do still do videos here on TH-cam so feel free to subscribe if you haven't already and I look forward to hearing from you
Love the genuine reaction. The way you reacted seemed so raw and real...haha
Agree, his reactions were enough to make me want to subscribe.
aww thank you :) i hope you enjoy the rest of the videos as much i look forward to hearing from you
aww thank you :) i hope you enjoy the rest of the videos as much i look forward to hearing from you
aww thank you :) i hope you enjoy the rest of the videos as much i look forward to hearing from you
Loved your reaction. Yes things have to change.
The pure irony of the Captain America shield in your room.
This is by far the best reaction video I've ever watched
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed :) Feel free to check out my other videos and if you haven't already subscribe I look forward to hearing from you
Your reaction is worth 1000 words at the same time it’s priceless God bless you you just got a new subscriber
One of the best and authentic reactions...your thoughts in the beginning mirrored mine.
I subscribed coz I LOVED YOUR REACTION MAN!!! Genuine and raw... Thankyou
Thank you :)
its excellent because even though he frames in a "black man" perspective? these problems exist for all americans.. the violent culture and the way we let celebrities and entertainment distract from all the real destruction of life and our society..
Its great that you caught that..
MrRasheed7 as usual, a video about social hardship for black people has been co opted by whites. Everything is not about you
MrRasheed7 Yeah, it's a tragic thing. People born in these poorer communities mostly go through oppression, unfortunately m
Kelly Robinson Just because you identify with it doesn't make the issues shown black only. The 17 seconds for parkland, the TH-cam shooter reference right after, is about violence. If you view him as the distraction then he's also saying the black/white issue is part of that distraction.
Kelly Robinson ...???? Im black..
While i understand this idea of white folks co-opting things... this is a little different because of the gun violence in schools and movies and Vegas.. etc..
This truly is about America and how we are ALL asleep at the wheel..
MrRasheed7 Glad others can see fully around themselves. The issue is people only want themselves to be labeled victims, when there are many more than just them. Pathetic, really.
I’ve gotta say out of all of the reactions from others watching this video, your reaction was the most genuine!
I record my first reaction to it. I don't do reaction videos to things I've seen. This video was crazy.
Keep up the good work!
Fantastic reaction, so much thoughtfulness, thank you.
LOL
You = Me watching this for the first time LMAOOO
If you weren't this shook upon seeing this video, IDK what is wrong with you.
Thanks for making this vid!!!
Shanée Paige Thank you for your comment because I seriously reflected upon myself after watching this because I barely flinched. Seeing your comment makes me want to evaluate myself all over again.
No, I think all of your reactions were appropriate. I think a lot of us are desensitized to violence, but where the heavy hitting messages struck, you were for sure shook by the images.
Wish there was more intelligent thought provoking reviews like this. Who is this Manuel guy?
It was a great reaction. I was cruising around YT and landed here 2 years later than it was made. The reaction earned a sub.
You have one of the best reactions to this vid ever
Best reaction I've seen
Check this one :
watch?v=Ml4VJJjytmA
Couldn't agree more! Not only his reaction seems genuine, he gets the freaking message and imagery that most miss, and I also agree with him, the video is perfect in every aspect and we need more music like his.
Thank you :)
@@TheMannel You're welcome, I'm just being sincere. Keep up the great work :)
I did comment on your reaction awhile back and honestly this video still gives me chills. Cannot believe why no one caught onto to what he said 'look at what I am whipping up'...all is playing out in the background while everyone enjoys the music and video up front. America is so screwed up and will NEVER get it.
I really loved your reaction, super genuine. Also if you like this content from Glover I would check out his show Atlanta absolutely anyone can like the show it’s been winning a lot of awards. He’s also from community, Spider-Man homecoming and he is Lando in the new Solo movie
Most sincere reaction, hands down. ❤
YOURS IS THE BEST REACTION EVER IN LIFE. No one can top this.
Thank you. Just being honest. A lot of people tend to go over the top like it's pre-planned with their reactions. When I watch a video for reaction videos I only watch what I haven't seen or heard you get my first reaction and my honest reaction
You're gonna love learning about Don Glover! I assume you're watching Solo next Friday? He plays Billy D Williams. Plus 2 seasons of Atlanta. Plus his stand up comedy. Plus the awesome movie Mystery Team. +++
Mike Jackson Star Wars fan so naturally of course I will be seeing that movie the lady won't like it so much she's not a Star Wars fan which is a sin if you ask me lol
I love seeing people getting what they suppose to get from the message! ...We need an Awaking!!!
I was waiting for a real reation to this video. ( ur the 1st out of 5 reaction that I can tell this was the 1st time watching this)
Thanks. Always real and never sugar coated here. Check out my other reaction videos and don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you :)
I could tell he really didn't watch it before when he started talking about "oohh choir! I love choirs" lol I was like he going be in for a rude awakening in a second lol
Omg so done after that part
The Mannel I had your same reaction and I don't live in the states. It's a master piece especially since I am in the Arts ! Simple yet powerful interpretation. Sad it can be applied to the Caribbean now too, especially about the bystanders that just film and do nothing. It's so sad
mii hood I agree. I've been looking on TH-cam to see if they have the same reaction I did. Lost count on watching it. The song is a wake up for every where
Amazing watching your reaction.
Brooke Kilpatrick thank you it was a very powerful video it was definitely something that would blow your mind and I'm glad I experienced it and I'm glad I caught it for everyone else feel free to check out my other reaction videos they are a big bolder and don't forget to subscribe I look forward to hearing from you
Love your reaction one of the best I have watched
This song serves as a wake up call to the worsening violence and inequality in America and how social media distracts us from what’s actually going on. Hands down the most powerful and impactful music video I’ve ever seen.
Your reaction is pure humanity
I’m so glad this is back up, dude. The first video of yours I ever saw, such a guttural reaction from you, best reaction video to this song, period!
Me too. I was super mad when they blocked it
The Mannel yeah I remember man. Sorry to hear you’re under the weather! My friend has a cold & is off to Finland for 4 days in about 12 hrs! Here’s hoping everyone is fine and we all keep on rocking x
My reaction to video: Goosebumps > angry > guilt and questioning after shot scenes
To me it makes you think. What can we all do to make things better as a society. Not hate our fellow man but start working towards a better future. This video is just AWESOME!!!!!!!
Cheers from Brazil ! Great reaction! 🖖🏽
Thanks. Feel free to check out my other videos and don't forget to subscribe
I've watched a number of reactions to this video and yours was the best so far. You seemed to be genuinely impacted by this video, the same way I was.
The best reaction I’ve seen to this song. Awesome stuff man.
Your reaction was apt, i had the same reaction and my eyes got all watery.
Best reaction video. Honest and intelligent.
To date... this is still one of my favorite and best reaction videos I’ve ever seen. This vid kinda put you on the map back then bro.
Keep pressing forward, don’t give up on your goals man! 👍🏽
I've Subscribed! Your reaction was the Most Genuine I've seen this far and on that basis felt an instant human connection with you! 💛 I was teary-eyed 💜.
Aww thank you I appreciate it. Just being honest. I tell it like it is no bs
The man in the beginning with the guitar is Travyon Martins dad. They are dancing to distract you from whats going on in the background. Much like pop culture.
by far, you have the most genuine reaction to this video. it's amazing how (I don't want to be racist) a white person is much more emotional and woke than all the other reactions I've seen. damn dude, you have my like!
Thanks powerful ass video!
Love your authentic reaction
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it was an amazing video feel free to check out my other reaction videos some are a bit Bolder but funnier and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't already I look forward to hearing from you
Love your reaction, man. BTW - Donald Glover, no relation to Danny Glover (as you mention near the end). His parents were a postman and a daycare provider. Brilliant guy who made it on his own merits, no "ins" in the business like famous parents - writer, director, actor, stand-up comedian, songwriter, singer, dancer. Absolute genius.
"I love church music..."
Bro, you're gonna love this...
But I love the fact you got it straight away and respect that because not all got it like you did !!!sincere response
Got to give you credit man. You nailed it. It talks about everything in this country. You should check out some of his early works.
Best reaction ever!!!
