If you offended by either side of this song you missed the point of this song. Both sides made great points. I hope people understood this song it has a great meaning.
Amen, honestly Joyner Lucas is a genius bro, his goal when he made this song was to display two sides of a story and not back either side but to UNDERSTAND both sides and the message of the story
Absolutely right mate, we all too quick defending our side but forget that there is always two sides of the same story. Maybe we should listen more to mix race kids as they perhaps are better at understanding the two sides.

This unbiased opinion of yours is so refreshing bro. Both sides have their reasons and just want respect. Painting everything into stereotypes will just breed hate and ignorance and that's what Joyner Lucas was portraying. What a genius. Though I have to admit in Europe it is a bit different with the whole slavery thing. But regardless, Joyner's song still stands.
Not to offend, but European countries like to exalt themselves because they didn't have slavery... but I feel obligated to point out, It was European countries that started and perpetuated the entire slave trade. The major Atlantic slave trading nations were: the Portuguese , the British, the French, the Spanish, and the Dutch Empire. Most often, they purchased slaves from local African leaders. The entire amount of US slavery was only 3.25% as opposed to The Portuguese colonies of South America which was 38.5% of the entire number of African slaves. Were we right to own slaves??? Hell no! But if Britain and France hadn't started introducing their slavery to American soil and then start supplying the demand, we would probably not have had slavery to begin with(that may be a debatable issue, I'm not sure).
@@jwkingsr Slavery didn't begin with the Atlantic Slave trade. African slavery didn't even start then. Slavery has been around in some form for all of human history.

This guy is growing on me and I just subbed lol. I know this was a year ago but I’ll say this now. I’m glad he understands both sides and realizes we both have flaws and things that need to be fixed, he understands the pain of each side and that’s amazing, not too many people like him out there, so thank you. I just subbed because of this video.
This video brought me to tears because of what they have done to ALL OF US- dividing us so we can fight against each other. This world has much LOVE to offer, we just need to LISTEN to one another and understand each others pain- that is when we can join the humanity race once again with one another. You sir are one of my favorite reactors- You speak intelligently and with FACTS- Thank You
The first time he paused and looked mad I was thinking "oh great another fuck who doesn't understand" *but* then he completely ignored the n word and talked about the actual point of the video. Incredible reaction mad respect bro.
That was beautiful, man. Watching this in 2021 it's a trip seeing how you're achieving your dreams and I turn to you for insight and understanding on songs I lack the cultural background to get fluently. It's like language, I can become fluent (4/5) but I'm not ever gonna be native (5/5). So I supplement that with reactions.
I just came across this in my recommended videos, and you just gained one more follow from me. You actually LISTENED to the song. You didn’t get offended. You didn’t get mad at the white guy lip syncing the N-word. You see both sides of the story. MUCH respect to you man!
Love the song/message but when you were talking about hitting a mill subscribers and when I checked and saw that you were at almost 4 mill…shit gave me chills! Keep doing what you’re doing and I wish you and your family health, wealth and happiness!!!
I spent 16 years in Cali and came home to Georgia with my oldest kid. I was shocked to see the divide here bigger than it was after I left. I had to explain things to him, the best that I could. He’d only seen it in tv or very very reserved being from there. I wish more people on all sides would take the time to unite rather than repeating the same behaviors. I agree with your reaction 100%. I think it hit me the most during the time that I had to sit with my son to explain the culture shock from there to here.
Hearing the “N” spoke by anyone regardless of the color of their skin has always made me sick to my stomach and hurt my soul. I was born in the early 60’s. I was alive during the civil rights movement, when JFK was killed, when MLK was killed and when Bobby Kennedy was killed. I heard that word bandied about by certain relatives during that time. I didn’t know what it meant at 5 yrs old or less but by 6 yrs old I did and it was not a good feeling hearing it. I remember seeing the separate drinking fountains, entrances and bathrooms for whites and, at that time called, colored people. Then the 70’s came along and things started getting better. People my age didn’t give a rats ass what color you were. We played together, partied together and hung out together. Now I see things slipping back to pre 70’s and it’s because of all these SJW kids of all colors who have no idea what was achieved in the past. The world has gone crazy. I just want to trap them all in a room and force the to watch and listen to all the music from the 1970’s. How we all enjoyed the same music. It brought us all together in a way.
Seems like we are going backwards instead of forward. It’s difficult for some to see that the actual “ movements “ , that are claiming to be fighting for blacks , are the ones bringing them down. It’s really sad to see this happening to our country. Everyone would think what they wanted to back in the day , but we were all Americans . It’s not like that now . God Bless us all.
not gonna lie...i had never heard of Joyner until Lucky You and then i found this song and not knowing what he looked like at the beginning i thought the white dude was ACTUALLY Joyner lol
Makes me think of an Epic Fantasy series called the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. In that series those with light colored eyes were considered better than those with dark colored eyes.
@@hunty8594 I would suggest starting with some other books by Sanderson, most of his books are part of a larger overarching universe called the Cosmere, and while you can read the individual series without needing to read the others, the Stormlight Archives is a series where a number of things related to other books start to collide. I suggest looking up a recommended reading order list, I think his Mistborn series or Elantris would be a good place to start.

I loved👍 your reaction to this because without a second thought you heard, saw, and understood both sides, we do need more hugs less separation honestly if you cut a persons hand no matter the color it will bleed, they will feel pain and it will leave a scar, if your an asshole your asshole no matter what color you are, if your good caring person then your good caring person no matter your skin color if we have to judge eachother we should judge the inside and character of person not the outside and color or appearance of person ❤💙💚💛💜

Watching this in 2023, when you said your goal is a million subs (putting in work)...it's awesome to see you posted this 5 years ago and your channel is at almost 4 million subscribers. Hard work pays off and the rewards are well deserved.
Wow, how did I just come across this song now? This is fire! And rather important to hear for many people. The beginning was tough, but that's probably specifically because he wanted to grab the attention of people that are somewhat racist I think, hopefully that changed the mind of some people. :)
Watching this in 2022 and shaq now has nearly 4 million he reacted to his when he had 15k and was still saying he had to work hard to get there, it’s crazy what dedication hard work and being humble can do. I respect it ✊🏽💯
White black Latino. Reminded me of grade school. Squabble and fight but on 9-11 we all band together and put our differences aside. Americans like drama, but when a real threat shows it’s face IT DONT MATTER BLACK or WHITE let’s defend our land!!! Key word “”our”” land.
Viewing both sides of two races clashing. Joyner Lucas is unreal with how he writes. Me being half white and Native, you can’t pick a side lol, just neutral with no where to fit, but I can speak for both.
"How you got 15,000 Subs." LOL 4 years later my man sitting at almost 4 million Subs. Love ya Shaq! Keeping it real and listening to the whole message. You're changing people man You're now the one with influence Coach! Can't wait till we see where the next 4 years take us!
Just rewatched this. Man shaq congrats on your success. You did it. My favorite reaction type dude hands down. Always with knowledge and fr my mirror taste in hip hop. Stay up my boy!
GENIUS!! There have to be other words to describe the brilliance of the lyrics and the concept!!! Genius and every comparable word in the Thesaurus for genius.
I pray daily for all of us, no matter what race to hug their brother and sisters and to know them personally. It’s time to drop the heavy weight of carrying the weight of legacy and sins of our fore fathers. Forgiveness is the way forward! Forgiveness is for the offended. Drop the heavy burden. I love this video. A display of how understanding can break the thickest of walls. Love y’all
Happy to see this 2 1/2 years later and hear him say "I'm at 15 thousand subs, but my goal is 1 mil" and see his subs sitting a 1.86 mil. Shaq deserves it.
Shaq is among the few people who actually understand this song and what it really means. Because it's about two things: both of them let them share each other's stories and they didn't interrupt or say "You're racist!" or "You mean nothing!" or something like that. Then they hugged it out at the end and it's really that simple. Keep up the great work Shaq
Nate Gruen Seems intelligent. Personally I would agree, but even more important I’m my opinion, Shaq has an extreme abundance of common sense, and toe the line morality. If we all would use more common sense and morality in our decision making, the world would be much better off.
@Jonathan Rodriguez I can confirm that, considering that he thinks that anyone from before the abolition of slavery in the United States of America is still alive is recorded proof that this man is not intelligent, not a bad guy, but not an intelligent one either.
You know shaq ain’t racist when he actually listened to the white man’s part and didn’t get angry
Man he was on a journey he had no idea about and still reacted chill and pointed out the truths.

@@EliteTeamKiller2.0 I don’t agree with you man. If something happens to someone a long time ago, does that hurt you? I don’t think so. Your logic is literally my grandma hurt her toe and so therefore my toe hurts. Makes no sense.
I love watching this again years later when Shaq’s goal was 1m subs and now he’s at 4.5m+ great job man
This guy is growing on me and I just subbed lol. I know this was a year ago but I’ll say this now. I’m glad he understands both sides and realizes we both have flaws and things that need to be fixed, he understands the pain of each side and that’s amazing, not too many people like him out there, so thank you. I just subbed because of this video.
"my goal is a million"
almost 2 mil now bruh lets goo
This aged very well
³mil
"my goal is a million or millon plus" i cant express how happy i am for shaq
This video brought me to tears because of what they have done to ALL OF US- dividing us so we can fight against each other. This world has much LOVE to offer, we just need to LISTEN to one another and understand each others pain- that is when we can join the humanity race once again with one another. You sir are one of my favorite reactors- You speak intelligently and with FACTS- Thank You
The first time he paused and looked mad I was thinking "oh great another fuck who doesn't understand" *but* then he completely ignored the n word and talked about the actual point of the video. Incredible reaction mad respect bro.
Thats shaq for you... i dont fuck with reaction channels but Shaq is fucking smart
this reaction is so pure. stepping back and hearing what he’s saying is so important.
That was beautiful, man. Watching this in 2021 it's a trip seeing how you're achieving your dreams and I turn to you for insight and understanding on songs I lack the cultural background to get fluently. It's like language, I can become fluent (4/5) but I'm not ever gonna be native (5/5). So I supplement that with reactions.
This hits hard on so many emotional levels.
No it doesn't.
@@logicallion2196 why not?
I just came across this in my recommended videos, and you just gained one more follow from me. You actually LISTENED to the song. You didn’t get offended. You didn’t get mad at the white guy lip syncing the N-word. You see both sides of the story. MUCH respect to you man!
Love the song/message but when you were talking about hitting a mill subscribers and when I checked and saw that you were at almost 4 mill…shit gave me chills! Keep doing what you’re doing and I wish you and your family health, wealth and happiness!!!
6:24 “My goal is a million”

I spent 16 years in Cali and came home to Georgia with my oldest kid. I was shocked to see the divide here bigger than it was after I left. I had to explain things to him, the best that I could. He’d only seen it in tv or very very reserved being from there. I wish more people on all sides would take the time to unite rather than repeating the same behaviors. I agree with your reaction 100%. I think it hit me the most during the time that I had to sit with my son to explain the culture shock from there to here.
6:21 Homie, This hits hard!
Hearing the “N” spoke by anyone regardless of the color of their skin has always made me sick to my stomach and hurt my soul. I was born in the early 60’s. I was alive during the civil rights movement, when JFK was killed, when MLK was killed and when Bobby Kennedy was killed. I heard that word bandied about by certain relatives during that time. I didn’t know what it meant at 5 yrs old or less but by 6 yrs old I did and it was not a good feeling hearing it. I remember seeing the separate drinking fountains, entrances and bathrooms for whites and, at that time called, colored people. Then the 70’s came along and things started getting better. People my age didn’t give a rats ass what color you were. We played together, partied together and hung out together. Now I see things slipping back to pre 70’s and it’s because of all these SJW kids of all colors who have no idea what was achieved in the past. The world has gone crazy. I just want to trap them all in a room and force the to watch and listen to all the music from the 1970’s. How we all enjoyed the same music. It brought us all together in a way.
I felt that
Seems like we are going backwards instead of forward. It’s difficult for some to see that the actual “ movements “ , that are claiming to be fighting for blacks , are the ones bringing them down. It’s really sad to see this happening to our country. Everyone would think what they wanted to back in the day , but we were all Americans . It’s not like that now . God Bless us all.
Ikr even when black people say it it mean it won't go away. I feel what you're saying.
We’ve been listening to most of the music in the 60s 50s before and 70s
"American dream"
More of a nightmare
this song is unbelievable still listening to this in 2022
You was 15k when you made this Vid. As of today 482k! Congrats dude.
Now at 521k. Seein shaq do great is awesome. On your way to 1Mil!!!
@@rdc501 528k today
I just came back to see how big it is now
I cant wait to see him get to a million!!
572k souls now
Strongest words I ever heard. I cried 3 years ago and I still cry today
This shit is facts. Hits home pretty much for everyone. Learn the other person's side. Pretty much a rap conversation.
not gonna lie...i had never heard of Joyner until Lucky You and then i found this song and not knowing what he looked like at the beginning i thought the white dude was ACTUALLY Joyner lol
ur not the only one lol
haha same before I knew who Joyner was
Hahahha holy shit, after 1 year I just realized thewhite guy isn't Joyner thx to this comment xD I did wish it was the white guy tho

@@KiffJRockka bro no joke I just found out
Cant believe I am just now seeing this! Brings tears to my eyes!! Yes we def need more of these hugs. Hard song. Truth though.
Until the color of a man's skin
Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes.
War by Bob Marley
Filipe Santos Spot on mate
Makes me think of an Epic Fantasy series called the Stormlight Archives by Brandon Sanderson. In that series those with light colored eyes were considered better than those with dark colored eyes.
Everywhere there is war
@@BlissfullWulf i'm gonna pick up all 3 books and try them out. thanks for mentioning this series man, it looks really interesting.
@@hunty8594 I would suggest starting with some other books by Sanderson, most of his books are part of a larger overarching universe called the Cosmere, and while you can read the individual series without needing to read the others, the Stormlight Archives is a series where a number of things related to other books start to collide. I suggest looking up a recommended reading order list, I think his Mistborn series or Elantris would be a good place to start.
Im new here, but im hooked now.....such a good, non-biased reaction
Welcome to the best channel on YT.
I came here to say congrats man 15k subs and look at you now met your goal and kept going
You're the shit man and I love how real you are too. Been subscribed since day 1. Gonna be here for the long run. Thanks for the uploads and insight man. One love. ✌
Buddy Love I know this is random but, you’re very handsome 🤤

damn youre hot
5 years ever since, how far this man has come... Love Shaq ❤
i respect this man, he’s real, actually reacted to both sides, mad respect for you dude🤙🏼
@@spaancs really, after this video you really finna say that. Damn Pansy
@@alextrikal his pfp goes against the video
@@spaancs you think he made his pfp specifically to comment on this vid and specifically piss you off? And it doesn't go against the vid. The vid is to understand both sides including the ones in his pfp.
traitor
@@alextrikal the flag does go against the video. the point is like you said to understand both sides and unite black people and white people. This mans profile picture has the flag that represented the people that wanted to keep slaves. Hes a racist shithead
I’m not from America so I don’t know anything about this stuff but everyone knows America has a problem good luck to the American lads🇺🇸
it's not only in america it's all over the world we got the same problem here in germany.. the police look at me like I've done something bad just because I'm black it's fucked up
TheoOJamaloO1 police aren't looking at you because of your skin colour, that makes no sense. If anything they are more likely to suspect a white person of stealing
@@D3xTRb0y and the crime rate is high cause they forced blacks into the hood. What do you expect. It would be no different if they did this to white people. Put someone in hell and they will start selling ice water. Simple as that.
Scripter I know I’ve seen in happen but I was talking about racism
Like you said you’re not from America and don’t know shit so stfu
This is what freedom of speech is for.. Unless you can tell your own story freely in your own words then society gets stuck.
The problem is now that people get so offended so easily today, that they won’t listen to the whole story, they will hear the first word and take that. And only that
You all need to know this is not an interpretation of how blacks and whites feel about each other but simply the stereo types seen from both sides.
Yeah that is very important to understand while watching the vid. It was a perfect piece of art and the track was fire
I know for a fact! My Black Brothers in the Army bled red, of which I wouldn't accept! And I'm sure they'd say the same about this white boy...just sayin
That seems to be our default is to go straight to the stereotype. Which doesn't convey a person's whole story.
It's great hearing you say you want to make it to a million and you're on 3 + million rn. God bless you bro
We are all human until race disconnected us
Religion separated us
Politics divided us
Wealth classified us
met many people in my short time on earth, for as long nobody brings up politics or religion everything was smooth sailing. but when they do everyone is scrambling to get with "their" people.
MrOverdoze1991 i disagree. First why ignore the issues? They wont fix themselves. Also it takes more of a man to have a conversation with someone who disagrees than to ignore topics.
But Jesus brings us together
Religion unite people
PubgTheFrenchSniper no just Jesus
You never know what someone has been through until you take the time to get to know them. Love, respect, and hugs and we would all be better off 🔥
I love how he said his goal was a million subs, and I'm watching this and he's almost at 2.5 million. Big ups my guy, you made it🙏🏽❤
Everyone is hurting right now. Honest conversations are needed.
Sunshine F your absolutely gorgeous, and correct as well. Lots of pain, with tons of frustrations, misunderstandings, trying to understand one another by conversation at a civil tone and open to learning about each other.

I remember when you dropped this video 😅😅. Damn brotha. You’ve come sooo far! Proud of you fam !

How much your room has changed over the years lol 😆 😅 you deserve everything bro..... much love 💘
This video right here is probably one of the reasons No Life got to 3 million.. great reaction bro
Watching this video now, hearing how he wants to get to a mil+. Currently sitting at 3.98M. CONGRATS!
I'm black 🖤 from outeast in Duval Fla.....age 13 a well off beautiful white firefighter saw me at burn camp and walked up to me and said YOU GOING HOME TO YOUR MOM I SAY NO MY GRANNY SHE SAY I'm your mama now I'm now 32 years old she passed last year she gave me the game and made me lose that bad mindset 💛.....RIP MOM #MAMASARAH
I wished the goverment didnt want to split us
They keep us divided so they can stay in power. Theres no need for authority if everyone could get along
skylerelax they put whites in the suburbs and kept blacks in the inner city. Now it’s starting to mix a bit
Branko Carret we let them
Conquer...... And divide... the government fear us as a whole!!! Fear makes us Undivided , 💪💪💪🤘🤘🤘..we are one , all have flaws.. we bleed the same colour..much love 💓💓💓💓💓
It's not the government who's splitting you.
It's you splitting you. Stop blaming everything on something or someone else and start looking inwards. Maybe others will follow THAT lead.
I only have one thing to say about this
*Thas tuff*
VeryViper Gaming and Vlogs thats tuffffff
Such a pleasure watching this in 2021 knowing that the Shaq in this video is gonna blow up on here! Now DATS TUFF!!!!
now THATS a proper reaction
listened to both sides
it was not biased
good job
Bro congrats, you said ya goal was a million, you just hit it 🔥🔥🔥
just to say this Shaq has came a long way in 3 years just look at bro now if that isn’t inspirational idk what is keep the grind up big dawg 🔥💯
I loved👍 your reaction to this because without a second thought you heard, saw, and understood both sides, we do need more hugs less separation honestly if you cut a persons hand no matter the color it will bleed, they will feel pain and it will leave a scar, if your an asshole your asshole no matter what color you are, if your good caring person then your good caring person no matter your skin color if we have to judge eachother we should judge the inside and character of person not the outside and color or appearance of person ❤💙💚💛💜
This song can test the ones that that understand compared to the ones that are biased as seem with other reactions. There arent many like this man
We should all come together and stop racism and we don’t realize that each and everyone of us has the power to stop the sexism and racism.
Each like and comment is a prayer for stopping racism 👏🏻👏👏🏿 support each comment
Absolute masterpiece of a song and video had to come back and watch this one after a few years.
Watching this in 2023, when you said your goal is a million subs (putting in work)...it's awesome to see you posted this 5 years ago and your channel is at almost 4 million subscribers. Hard work pays off and the rewards are well deserved.
Moral of the story:
Both races have serious issues.
I hate stereotypes, they make everyone in America look the worst.
@@papicazpa3476 They exist for a reason. Most stereotypes are true. Signed, a white dude who can't dance or sing, but who pays his bills.
Wow, how did I just come across this song now? This is fire! And rather important to hear for many people.
The beginning was tough, but that's probably specifically because he wanted to grab the attention of people that are somewhat racist I think, hopefully that changed the mind of some people. :)
Finally someone who see’s both sides
Watching this in 2022 and shaq now has nearly 4 million he reacted to his when he had 15k and was still saying he had to work hard to get there, it’s crazy what dedication hard work and being humble can do. I respect it ✊🏽💯
White black Latino. Reminded me of grade school. Squabble and fight but on 9-11 we all band together and put our differences aside. Americans like drama, but when a real threat shows it’s face IT DONT MATTER BLACK or WHITE let’s defend our land!!! Key word “”our”” land.
That hug at the end made me tear up.
To think Shaq had 15k subs then and his goal was a mill. Now he sitting over 4 mill. Good work my dude
Idk how this didn't win a Grammy
Because media wants our country divided...
Runyun Hyde ... it did recently & also for Lucky You😁 He deserves it!

We need more music like this.
This man actually sees both sides , mad respect
Viewing both sides of two races clashing. Joyner Lucas is unreal with how he writes. Me being half white and Native, you can’t pick a side lol, just neutral with no where to fit, but I can speak for both.
"How you got 15,000 Subs." LOL 4 years later my man sitting at almost 4 million Subs. Love ya Shaq! Keeping it real and listening to the whole message. You're changing people man You're now the one with influence Coach! Can't wait till we see where the next 4 years take us!
Just rewatched this. Man shaq congrats on your success. You did it. My favorite reaction type dude hands down. Always with knowledge and fr my mirror taste in hip hop. Stay up my boy!
GENIUS!! There have to be other words to describe the brilliance of the lyrics and the concept!!! Genius and every comparable word in the Thesaurus for genius.
I pray daily for all of us, no matter what race to hug their brother and sisters and to know them personally. It’s time to drop the heavy weight of carrying the weight of legacy and sins of our fore fathers. Forgiveness is the way forward! Forgiveness is for the offended. Drop the heavy burden. I love this video. A display of how understanding can break the thickest of walls. Love y’all
This is why your sub count is blowing up my dear...
I hope and wish the best for you and all your family
Happy to see this 2 1/2 years later and hear him say "I'm at 15 thousand subs, but my goal is 1 mil" and see his subs sitting a 1.86 mil. Shaq deserves it.

Shaq is among the few people who actually understand this song and what it really means. Because it's about two things: both of them let them share each other's stories and they didn't interrupt or say "You're racist!" or "You mean nothing!" or something like that. Then they hugged it out at the end and it's really that simple. Keep up the great work Shaq
and shaq fuckin made it too
Probably the most unbiased reaction. Good job my guy
Exactly, he understood both sides and spoke on everything he agreed on and didn’t slander the other

Facts bro just saw this react today and I love this do now lmao
Shaq is extremely intelligent and I enjoy hearing him talk.
Nate Gruen Seems intelligent. Personally I would agree, but even more important I’m my opinion, Shaq has an extreme abundance of common sense, and toe the line morality. If we all would use more common sense and morality in our decision making, the world would be much better off.
@Jonathan Rodriguez The bar is being lowered due to having so many idiots around.
Fax
Other than a few basketball perspectives... Shaq on point.
@Jonathan Rodriguez I can confirm that, considering that he thinks that anyone from before the abolition of slavery in the United States of America is still alive is recorded proof that this man is not intelligent, not a bad guy, but not an intelligent one either.
No Life Shaq did the most honest and non biased reacton to this video that I've seen. Props!
