@@LegacyAirTech i literally took a comment from a black guy on twitter and posted it with the sum of it being he hates the riots and that theirs no system keeping blacks down just themselves gone.
...and yet the proper noun for that black subculture refers only to what such blacks typically pepper their own speech with-especially when they become animated.
Yeah but her boyfriend who was defending his and his gfs lives as any American would, is still in jail. The cops who came in and senseless murdered them for no reason after getting the wrong house are free with zero charges.
It's so fucked that these conservative people from the states go on and on about the amendment saying they need the bility and privilege to own a firearm for self defense (not from the US, don't remember which one it is). But when this poor guy's house was being broken into by armed men eho murdered his wife/girlfriend, he's locked up for exercising his right to try and defend himself and his loved one.
@@attikatti123 as one of those 'conservative people' I can say that any right minded individual would see that situation as beyond reprehensible. The 2nd Amendment is in place to protect those of smaller groups, to let minorities maintain their own rights. This is an example of a failure not of the right to bear arms, but a failure in our civil servants, a blatant violation of that couple's Rights guaranteed by social contract. I would like to say that generalizing any group is counterproductive to any worthwhile discussion, and is a major contributing factor in societal issues that all people are facing in this day and age. Feel free to respond to this message, as discussion is how society can recover. Wish you the best.
Thank God someone like Drift0r with the following he has is willing to have an intelligent, unbiased, factual conversation about this issue. Mad props.
One fact of the world, there is no such thing as an unbiased opinion. It’s impossible. Bias is in every decision and opinion we make. Every single one. The real problem is a lot of people see the words biased and racist as the same thing, which ...can be true, but isn’t always true.
As a 23 year old black man, I listen to calm points on both sides of all issues. It's truly unfortunate that fringe views are the only ones covered by mass media, which is why I don't watch CNN or Fox. Great as always Driftor.

As someone who studies these kinds of events as the knowledge for a career, this is literally me. I cant argue with people I know simply will not bring evidence or a coherent line of logic to an argument, let alone ask questions are try to understand what they see in the world.
@@AlpineBishop I remember I got into an argument with somebody over the ACAB (All Cops Are Bad) movement, and how it was being used to justify the unprovoked assault of officers on the streets. The guy literally said that he refused to change his mind no matter what, and eventually I had to come to the conclusion that not all arguments are meant to won.
@@lt-yx1hx ACAB is probably one of the dumbest things, BLM is quick to fight against people saying all blacks are criminals, but real quick to say ACAB. It's hypocritical if you ask me
Drift0r is straight up the GOAT. Been subbed for around a decade and the clear intellect this lad brings to the table with these complex issues has always been amazing.

1. I'm black 2. Excellent video dude. Thank you for making this. Awesome to see that you formed your own opinion and became a good person even though you were raised to hate a group of people based on their skin color. Thank you.
@@ravenhopkins347 While I agree with you, the main takeaway is the suggestion for the implementation of the Military Justice System. In my opinion, it's a horrible idea. Look at the way the US Army handles sexual assault. The Army (for the most part as described in the 27 series Regulations and MCM) uses a different burden of proof. If we went from *beyond a reasonable doubt* to *preponderance of evidence* , all hell would break loose. Don't even get me started on the whole "commander's discretion" issue with Military Law.
@@AllHailNannerpuss The army takes sexual assault very seriously. SHARP posters in every bathroom, briefings every year, and constant reminders on the regular what not to do at safety briefs. And if you are caught, theres literally no tolerance. You will be kicked out with a dishonorable, before you're even found to be guilty. So stop painting that narrative.
Kotsa that’s not true, the last part isn’t true, you wouldn’t be kicked out before being found guilty. I’ve been on the jury for many cases in the military and an investigation into the case goes underway to find out if someone is actually telling the truth or not. Many of the cases end up being dropped from the accuser because they most likely are lying about the situation that happened. Out of 4 cases I’ve seen, 3 were dropped by the accuser and now the accused is slandered in the military. I think when this happens the accuser should have a case built against them afterwards to kick them out for slandering and wrongfully accusing someone on a serious subject.
Considering the countless other TH-camrs I've seen just ignore the events going on and just complaining about the delay for season 4 I'm really glad that you took the time to be articulate and utilized the platform you had to discuss the issues that run past what is going on on the surface.
Driftor I havent even gotten passed the second breath and I just want you to know I love you man, for all the in-depth meta-breakdowns and for being an honest to god human being who knows that sometimes we have to put the controllers down and focus on the world around us
Drift0r thank you for actually giving solutions. Right now all I am seeing everyone asking for change. Which is absolutely true. However, nobody is offering solutions to the issues, including celebrities and politicians. Thanks for offering solutions as that is the first actual productive step.
As a 44 year old black man growing up in FL and having experienced all kinds of racism I want to thank you for your honest, your ability to rise above what you were taught growing up and believing that black lives do matter to others such as yourself and instead of just in my and other people's own communities.
Having Call of Duty playing in the background while you talk about an actually serious topic is the most unintentionally hilarious thing I've ever seen
I used to be anti BLM, but after watching this and understand more about the circumstances... it really opened up my world view. After watching this, I do support BLM's message and movement within this context. I thought that BLM movement was primarily about black supremacy and harming those that disagree. It is more than that, and Im glad that you have explained that. I guess that 4chan and people of the right wing were putting words in BLM supporters mouth by saying that only black lives matter, and that isn't the case. It is like saying that people who have pride in their culture and background are also stating that they are excluding other culture, which is not the case. That's why we celebrate many holidays paying tribute and recognize to prior events culturally, like celebrating MLK's birthday, Abe Lincoln, and a number of recognizable figures. It doesn't imply that other figures weren't important, but people will spin it a different which is dishonest, harmful, and missing the point of such circumstances. I may have taken this as more than what you explained, but it really helped me think about things differently that I hadn't experienced in a while. Thanks Drift0r!
I just disapprove of all of the Looting, vandalism, and controversy. Aside from that, if your protesting peacefully and in an orderly fashion, that doesn't impede our daily lives then I have no issues.
I've been a fan of your's since Warzone dropped, you offer excellent and articulate analysis of weapons and the meta and my gameplay has gotten much better as a result. After seeing your rational and articulate analysis of this situation I have no choice but to subscribe and hit that notification bell, thank you very much for using your voice and platform for good. You're living proof that gamers can make a change, we don't just live in a society, we can improve it!
As the son of a white, republican, ICE agent who said: "Yes, we need to change the way policing is done", I agree with many of the points in this video. It's not just a right or left issue
ive been watching you since mw2, and through out the years ive always loved and enjoyed your content even though i dont play cod anymore. I love everything from the epic dreams (which i still listen to the vampire one to this day) to your philosophical commentaries, to even your political talks, and i just wanna say from a real fan, please never stop doing these despite all the people who disagree. This is a great video and i love hearing more about these things from your perspective, keep it up
I’m late, but I’m watching this while I take my shower. Appreciate the RT, I’ve supported you for years and I will never stop now. You’re using your platform to do good, and that is the most commendable thing. Especially from someone who grew up the way you did. Truly Brad, you are an inspiration to many of us here. Keep up the great work. Stay safe, friend.
As a white man, i will never understand the struggles and systemic racism the black community goes thru, but im not gonna just sit around and let it happen. Change has been needed for years.
Also I know how you would rather not talk about this subject, but we cannot ignore it any longer. Thank you for using your platform for not just entertainment but unbiased information. You don’t immediately criticize something because of your own beliefs, you study and learn about the topic and then discuss in a very adult manner and that is something that should be rewarded!!!
It's really brave for someone to admit their history and to see how much you've grown and change. I wish more people would talk about this, thank you from another black viewer!
I already watched this video once but I’m going to watch it again because there seems to be so many idiots who don’t think on Instagram comments and on twitter and it’s nice hearing someone competent speak on the issue
Absolutely laughable your family calls themselves so called “Christians” but has these ideology’s for black people lol. But power to you for overcoming that wicked teaching and ignorant beliefs.
Just want you to know just like most groups all people of the Christian faith aren't like that and it's something I could assure you of as a fellow Christian myself but I feel like you can understand that given the way you've worded your comment. Best wishes to you my friend!
What laughable ideology permits him to say "Redneck" but forbids him from even mentioning the black cultural counterpart to that backward white subculture? Why does he put laughable rhetorical latex over his tongue when handling the subject of black people? Answer: the beatings. He's a tool owned by *BLAKKRAKKERZ.*
@@happystance10able And what word would that be for Black People? What is the word for their negative culture or for the people that participate in the negative subculture?
Everyone needs to spread this video around, teach/help others who are willing to understand, even try to teach those who aren't willing. Side note: I'm so glad you've taken the time to use your platform for something like this in the midst of it all happening & giving people unfamiliar with these things a different perspective; instead of ignoring it. As long as it's for a good cause, any help is good help. It makes me proud to say you've gained a new supporter, Drift0r.
I wish all “Utuber´s” were this brave instead of keeping there heads in the sand and pretending nothing is going on. There too busy thinking up more click bait. I appreciate your straight forward words and honest opinions. The COD community is pretty toxic and so so nasty to each other which I personally hate seeing and hearing over game chat but I’m praying and hoping that in the real world we can push that aside step up by paying attention and doing there part. Instead of brainstorming how spin this situation to make money off of it, I hope more people like Drift put that aside and do there part too.
While the click bait and toxicity found in the COD "community" - I would argue that there is no such thing, but that is neither here nor there - is frustrating. It is a result of children having their parents buy the next COD and TH-cam not enforcing their own rules regarding click bait. What I do not understand why anyone would expect anything better from such content creators? I would say the same for most mainstream media outlets, but that is also a discussion for another day. Drif0r has always - maybe not since the beginning, but since a several years ago - done philosophical commentaries of varying degrees. My assumption is that he does so with the intent to educate his audience and because he likes to share what is on his mind. Thus this video is not surprising. Since I have not seen it yet, I hope that drift0r is impartial and acts upon principle.
I mean, for the most part, many people are completely uneducated about these types of topics. TH-camrs are pretty big with children, especially recently, so I prefer they stay out of it. I don't care to hear Logan Paul telling me about the BLM movement. As for the COD "community," there isn't one. It's just a bunch of people playing a game. It's probably the most disjointed group of people who play a certain game.
They're not "keeping their heads in the sand" - they're just deciding not to discuss issues unrelated to their channel. You can't force people to put out videos on a certain subject. The notion that their percieved "silence" is somehow racist or part of the problem is absolutely absurd. Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Drift0r's commentary on the issue is overextending the bounds of his channel. He has a history of producing videos on political issues, philosophy, religion, and other related subjects. However, for those who don't produce these types of videos, such as many other CoD creators, there is no reason to expect them to make a video on this.
Thank you for expanding my view on the current situation. I've been recently thinking that the Black Lives Matter was going accomplish nothing as there was no real goal from the movement. Now that view has changed, as I now understand what the protests fight against. Perhaps many folks in both the media and peers around me have fumbled on actually laying out the truth and purpose of the movement.
Nick H Well no not really. As a black person I can tell you the BLM cares about everything affecting the community such as the drug war, redlining, police brutality, etc. All of these things tear communities apart and people want to put an end to that
@@papaicebreakerii8180 Police brutality is very minor and not really a problem. Where is BLM when there are black kids dying int their own communities? To put an end to all of that is to stop pointing the fingers at everybody else but yourselves. Tell your kids to follow police orders and not have guns in the car. Tell your kids that just because you're black does not mean that you can't get ahead in this country. There are plenty of successful black people, how, they grew up and out of their victimhood mentality. To put an end to that you have to uplift those of the next generation, not perpetuate violence and teach them that it is cool. It's an inner city culture thing.
Here is what I have to ask: How does this issue get "resolved?" - It's not as simple as an issue of altering current legislation; In wording, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights protects all people who are citizens of this country, regardless of race or beliefs. Has it become a necessity to create Third Party, or increase Government Driven Organizations, to protect against further racial discrimination, misconduct, and to investigate national and local law enforcement? - Or is it a systematic issue inherent within the older generations that we have to continue to wait to die off? Yes people have worked towards movements against racial discrimination, and we can say that, over time, the issue has gotten much better, but has yet to be "resolved." So I reiterate my point, regardless of what we try to change, is it a matter of waiting longer until the older generations, who grew up in the world of rampant segregation and discrimination, to die off? - I certainly don't stand for inequality as I have many people I love who are minorities and people of color, but I also cannot say that I agree with the rioting as a form of protest. I'm all for peaceful protest, but the concern and question once again comes to what solution can/will we actually come up with as a result?
I would think that the solution is attempting reform from within these police forces, since the problem is that they tend to protect each other, regardless of what the one they are protecting has done, while abusing their power to do it. This is the sort of change that requires a concerted effort over the course of years in order to see the results, but it is also the best option. The fact that it requires such effort is probably why very few people have actually tried it, which makes every person trying to justify the violence by saying "we tried peace" very frustrating.
One of the most logical and commendable responses I have seen. Unfortunately this change can only happen if people in power are willing to try and do something. I love your word, I will try to push this video out to as many people as I can!
I recently started to see your videos, specially the Black Ops II guides, since I returned to the game now in quarantine. When I saw that you decided to express yourself not only to your public but also to a more broader audience, I was curious to see what you wanted to put in the table, and now I conclude that you have a great sense of justice, one that wasn't present in my knowledge, and it's good to know. I believe that you did a great job, considering that you left an excellent reflexion with your personal story. Other aspect in which I also believe that you "nailed it" was with the serenity you expressed yourself. Of course, people could say that is not the same situation to record your person in a controlled environment like your room compared to, let's say, a street talk, a debate, or similar cases, but I have seen cases of controlled environments, in where even people get "negatively emotional" (like starting to increase their volume tone without too much reason and even starting insulting the camera, I don't know why, but they act in such way). Now, I'm not american, but still, I believe I can express my point of views on the case; First of all, I completely condemm the murder of that poor man, who never deserved such "treatment". In a second point, I agree with you that neither of both spectrums are actually doing it in an ideal way, yes, with good and bad events, but still, not "enough". I'm not a lawyer, and to be honest, I also don't know too much about the laws that regulate your country, but from what I have seen by various media, people, articles and your person, I would say that a great awareness campaign is needed not only in your country, but across the entire world, in demand to quicker generational changes. We are already present in the XXI century, with humanity passing through a very complex timeline, full of all types of devastating conflicts and problematics, that should have taught us to not condemm ourselves to repeat the errors of the past, but as the saying tells "there is people for everything in this world, for good and for bad causes". Apart from massive awareness of respect to all humanity, regardless of what genetical conditions we can have, I also believe that the "freedom phylosophy" in which the United States of North America is apparently based is a double-edge weapon, and I would encourage that government forces should have more regulations, since they are the ones who are in power most of the time, therefore they should be the greatest examples to the societies, something that unfortunately is not always the case. With the civilian population is more harder to implement this, since you cannot control like nothing the behavior of the masses in a 100%, there will be always persons that will recurr to violence to respond to a certain violence, believing that what they are doing is the correct behavior, when in most of the cases is just going to make the case worse, and should only be kept as a ultimately last resource tool, and one should have the duty to prevent it as much as possible. Definitely, 2020 is becoming the darkest year in the recent evolution of the XXI century. Not only the world is facing COVID-19, an enemy that could have been prevented from rising in a first place, but also we are facing the worse aspects of human nature. I'm just hoping that with time humanity will evolve, and not un evolve in social terms. Great video, Drift. Greetings from Colombia. At. One of your recent followers. Aaron.

@@joshuabauer2760 Look up Tony Timpa.. bet you never heard of his name. He died pretty much the same way George Floyd did, but not a peep about him because he was white

Not everyone is going to like you if you defend human rights, but in my opinion that should NEVER stop you for defending what's right. Thanks for the video.
You can look it up, I think eight thoughts made a video about it. A guy live streamed going to drift0rs house with a gun on him. Drift0r called the cops which avoided the issue. (The cops got to the guy before he walked up to the house)

Never would have expected a COD TH-camr to actually make a 30-minute video speaking straight facts. Using your platform to spread awareness. Big props to u man 👏👏👏👏
here in alberta, canada, we have something called ASIRT (Alberta Serious Incident Response Team) that functions similarly to what you're talking about with respect to a special division that is separate from the police that is responsible for automatic investigations when people are killed or seriously injured by police, or other allegations of misconduct. this was an excellent video, and i'm proud to add myself to your subs.
travii306 I am in BC, and I agree that non-police oversight is a huge part of the key. I wonder how that worked out for the Alberta local cops that slammed the girl to the ground in a stormtrooper outfit for having a blaster, on May 4th.
As a reformed racist who still works on himself and works to spread the word and awareness of racism in gaming and in our society, I want you to know that I know how hard this probably was to make and I applaud you for doing it, and for facing your past prejudices and working to become an amazing human who gets to bring something awesome to the lives of gamers everywhere.
I'm quite conservative in my views however I live in Ireland, from an outsider's perspective I really couldn't understand the need for a black lives matter movement because of how different things clearly are. Now I can see that antifa and blm really aren't one in the same and shouldnt be regarded as such. I am really grateful for the insiders perspective from someone as experienced as you. And I fully agree that violent riots are extremely counter productive for both sides of the argument. Especially during a time like this we should be coming together as human.
@B Pr yeah 45 is actually not fascist or any other thing we've been told to believe he is. propaganda is a real thing, and is really dividing the country and adding insult to injury. i bet you, if the mainstream media wasn't as partisan as it currently is, because it's another election year, the tensions would have subsided a long time ago. Plus I'm black, and I support the movement black lives matter, because, of course I think my life matters, but I don't think my life matters more than anyone else because I'm black; that's literally racist. And from what I've been seeing of ANTIFA, I honestly don't support them. In my opinion, if not all of them, the most active and loudest ones, pretty much want to burn the country down, and that's just foolish and immature. Plus, my libertarian views literally don't align with their radical tactics. They literally suppress and oppress people, which in itself is dangerously more fascistic than anti-fascistic, and that's why I can't support them.
@RandexFR no one condones violence but what are we supposed to do? White people never listen to our peace but now all of a sudden we're main stream news. Now you'll listen.

This is a large platform you have created here and your voice is important to many of those that follow you, (especially those for the content like this), so thank you, for being a calm voice in a storm of chaos.

I knew you were going to make a video speaking on the subject. You talked about your upbringing multiple times before and when I got the notification for this video I was afraid you were going to take a somewhat radical-right stance. Very glad that’s not the case. Thank you for trying to be a decent person. Also, people need to watch the documentary ‘13th’ on Netflix. It might open your eyes to a lot of things regarding racism.
You’re the best Drift0r. I always love listening to what you have to say about the important current events we’re facing. I get so excited when I see a new analysis video from you because I know it will be fair, unbiased, and as informative as possible. Keep being you bro!
Sir im gonna say this.. As a mixed black Hispanic over in the UK🇬🇧 You are a small miracle. 🖤 And its been so refreshing listening to your experience.. I really empathise with you in that situation. you must have felt so so alienated.

nah hes just deleting most comments...i had a long thought out respectful one deleted....then copy pasted some comments from black guys also deleted and no not using no no words like slurs etc just stating facts seems to be enough to trigger deletion
@Nik3 I said that we're verging on the edge of a race war and starting a video with a BLM logo is a bad idea. It was clickbait and most certainly not 'grown up'.
This is one of the most even toned and level headed take that I've seen so far and highlights the issues on all sides of this thing. The major problem with the violent protests right now is that the focus has been somewhat shifted away from the original problem. I have shown new ones, but the good still doesn't outweigh the bad. Glad to see someone on here has a rational approach to this.
Also, it was fascinating to hear about your childhood because growing up and living in West Virginia, we are just taught that people are people are people. We are, for the most part, isolated from many of the issues that occur other place which is nice, but living in our own bubble isn't the way we grow.

@@Yaboyiso That's great dude, I love hearing stuff like that
I was also raised in a racist home and I have gone against my parents teachings
The woman's name is Breonna Taylor. And thankfully, all charges against her spouse were recently dropped.
That's definitely the good news i needed to hear.
Yeah but her boyfriend who was defending his and his gfs lives as any American would, is still in jail. The cops who came in and senseless murdered them for no reason after getting the wrong house are free with zero charges.
It's so fucked that these conservative people from the states go on and on about the amendment saying they need the bility and privilege to own a firearm for self defense (not from the US, don't remember which one it is).
But when this poor guy's house was being broken into by armed men eho murdered his wife/girlfriend, he's locked up for exercising his right to try and defend himself and his loved one.
@@LegendInThaMakin I don't think you read the comment
@@attikatti123 as one of those 'conservative people' I can say that any right minded individual would see that situation as beyond reprehensible. The 2nd Amendment is in place to protect those of smaller groups, to let minorities maintain their own rights. This is an example of a failure not of the right to bear arms, but a failure in our civil servants, a blatant violation of that couple's Rights guaranteed by social contract.
I would like to say that generalizing any group is counterproductive to any worthwhile discussion, and is a major contributing factor in societal issues that all people are facing in this day and age. Feel free to respond to this message, as discussion is how society can recover. Wish you the best.

@@deweypittman6233 yes but he still managed to address multiple sides/views of the argument
One fact of the world, there is no such thing as an unbiased opinion. It’s impossible. Bias is in every decision and opinion we make. Every single one. The real problem is a lot of people see the words biased and racist as the same thing, which ...can be true, but isn’t always true.

Treat cops like we treat soldiers. Fear of the UCMJ keeps us in line, war crimes are no joke. Cops need to be held to the same standard.
But the US isnt held accountable for war crimes for the most part sadly
@@ravenhopkins347 While I agree with you, the main takeaway is the suggestion for the implementation of the Military Justice System. In my opinion, it's a horrible idea. Look at the way the US Army handles sexual assault.
The Army (for the most part as described in the 27 series Regulations and MCM) uses a different burden of proof. If we went from *beyond a reasonable doubt* to *preponderance of evidence* , all hell would break loose. Don't even get me started on the whole "commander's discretion" issue with Military Law.
@@AllHailNannerpuss The army takes sexual assault very seriously. SHARP posters in every bathroom, briefings every year, and constant reminders on the regular what not to do at safety briefs. And if you are caught, theres literally no tolerance. You will be kicked out with a dishonorable, before you're even found to be guilty. So stop painting that narrative.
@@AllHailNannerpuss lol no
Kotsa that’s not true, the last part isn’t true, you wouldn’t be kicked out before being found guilty. I’ve been on the jury for many cases in the military and an investigation into the case goes underway to find out if someone is actually telling the truth or not. Many of the cases end up being dropped from the accuser because they most likely are lying about the situation that happened. Out of 4 cases I’ve seen, 3 were dropped by the accuser and now the accused is slandered in the military. I think when this happens the accuser should have a case built against them afterwards to kick them out for slandering and wrongfully accusing someone on a serious subject.
Nope. No down vote..... very unfortunate the environment that you explained. Love the message, keep grinding. Hopefully this wakes some people up.
Considering the countless other TH-camrs I've seen just ignore the events going on and just complaining about the delay for season 4 I'm really glad that you took the time to be articulate and utilized the platform you had to discuss the issues that run past what is going on on the surface.

Drift0r thank you for actually giving solutions. Right now all I am seeing everyone asking for change. Which is absolutely true. However, nobody is offering solutions to the issues, including celebrities and politicians. Thanks for offering solutions as that is the first actual productive step.
As a 44 year old black man growing up in FL and having experienced all kinds of racism I want to thank you for your honest, your ability to rise above what you were taught growing up and believing that black lives do matter to others such as yourself and instead of just in my and other people's own communities.

That's been common practice in this channel for literally more than a decade...
I used to be anti BLM, but after watching this and understand more about the circumstances... it really opened up my world view. After watching this, I do support BLM's message and movement within this context. I thought that BLM movement was primarily about black supremacy and harming those that disagree. It is more than that, and Im glad that you have explained that. I guess that 4chan and people of the right wing were putting words in BLM supporters mouth by saying that only black lives matter, and that isn't the case. It is like saying that people who have pride in their culture and background are also stating that they are excluding other culture, which is not the case. That's why we celebrate many holidays paying tribute and recognize to prior events culturally, like celebrating MLK's birthday, Abe Lincoln, and a number of recognizable figures. It doesn't imply that other figures weren't important, but people will spin it a different which is dishonest, harmful, and missing the point of such circumstances. I may have taken this as more than what you explained, but it really helped me think about things differently that I hadn't experienced in a while. Thanks Drift0r!
Rad Lad glad you do and I hope you fight along with us on the peaceful side of this horrible war😌

It makes me proud to say you've gained a new supporter, Drift0r.
I wish all “Utuber´s” were this brave instead of keeping there heads in the sand and pretending nothing is going on. There too busy thinking up more click bait. I appreciate your straight forward words and honest opinions. The COD community is pretty toxic and so so nasty to each other which I personally hate seeing and hearing over game chat but I’m praying and hoping that in the real world we can push that aside step up by paying attention and doing there part. Instead of brainstorming how spin this situation to make money off of it, I hope more people like Drift put that aside and do there part too.
While the click bait and toxicity found in the COD "community" - I would argue that there is no such thing, but that is neither here nor there - is frustrating. It is a result of children having their parents buy the next COD and TH-cam not enforcing their own rules regarding click bait. What I do not understand why anyone would expect anything better from such content creators? I would say the same for most mainstream media outlets, but that is also a discussion for another day.
Drif0r has always - maybe not since the beginning, but since a several years ago - done philosophical commentaries of varying degrees. My assumption is that he does so with the intent to educate his audience and because he likes to share what is on his mind. Thus this video is not surprising. Since I have not seen it yet, I hope that drift0r is impartial and acts upon principle.
You could have kept your head down and not addressed it at all and nobody would've called you out for it. Respect for speaking on it
I mean, for the most part, many people are completely uneducated about these types of topics. TH-camrs are pretty big with children, especially recently, so I prefer they stay out of it. I don't care to hear Logan Paul telling me about the BLM movement. As for the COD "community," there isn't one. It's just a bunch of people playing a game. It's probably the most disjointed group of people who play a certain game.
They're not "keeping their heads in the sand" - they're just deciding not to discuss issues unrelated to their channel. You can't force people to put out videos on a certain subject. The notion that their percieved "silence" is somehow racist or part of the problem is absolutely absurd.
Just to be clear, I'm not saying that Drift0r's commentary on the issue is overextending the bounds of his channel. He has a history of producing videos on political issues, philosophy, religion, and other related subjects. However, for those who don't produce these types of videos, such as many other CoD creators, there is no reason to expect them to make a video on this.
Thank you for using your platform to bring attention to what is going on. Long time sub, and will always be, especially with this kind of content.
I really think you’re one of the most respectable TH-camrs out there. Thank you for being you

Thank you for expanding my view on the current situation. I've been recently thinking that the Black Lives Matter was going accomplish nothing as there was no real goal from the movement. Now that view has changed, as I now understand what the protests fight against. Perhaps many folks in both the media and peers around me have fumbled on actually laying out the truth and purpose of the movement.
Black Lives matter only when it's white versus black and not black versus black.
Nick H Well no not really. As a black person I can tell you the BLM cares about everything affecting the community such as the drug war, redlining, police brutality, etc. All of these things tear communities apart and people want to put an end to that
@@brainwash650 "Free food, lower rent, best easiest jobs in city's" lol call whoever sold you lies and ask for a refund
@@papaicebreakerii8180 Police brutality is very minor and not really a problem. Where is BLM when there are black kids dying int their own communities? To put an end to all of that is to stop pointing the fingers at everybody else but yourselves. Tell your kids to follow police orders and not have guns in the car. Tell your kids that just because you're black does not mean that you can't get ahead in this country. There are plenty of successful black people, how, they grew up and out of their victimhood mentality. To put an end to that you have to uplift those of the next generation, not perpetuate violence and teach them that it is cool. It's an inner city culture thing.
None of this aged well, where's all that money they raised? Straight up violent grift.
Here is what I have to ask: How does this issue get "resolved?"
-
It's not as simple as an issue of altering current legislation; In wording, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights protects all people who are citizens of this country, regardless of race or beliefs. Has it become a necessity to create Third Party, or increase Government Driven Organizations, to protect against further racial discrimination, misconduct, and to investigate national and local law enforcement?
-
Or is it a systematic issue inherent within the older generations that we have to continue to wait to die off? Yes people have worked towards movements against racial discrimination, and we can say that, over time, the issue has gotten much better, but has yet to be "resolved." So I reiterate my point, regardless of what we try to change, is it a matter of waiting longer until the older generations, who grew up in the world of rampant segregation and discrimination, to die off?
-
I certainly don't stand for inequality as I have many people I love who are minorities and people of color, but I also cannot say that I agree with the rioting as a form of protest. I'm all for peaceful protest, but the concern and question once again comes to what solution can/will we actually come up with as a result?
Ballistic Riot its human nature to discriminate. Not all people
But it’s just built in. Look at kids.
I would think that the solution is attempting reform from within these police forces, since the problem is that they tend to protect each other, regardless of what the one they are protecting has done, while abusing their power to do it. This is the sort of change that requires a concerted effort over the course of years in order to see the results, but it is also the best option.
The fact that it requires such effort is probably why very few people have actually tried it, which makes every person trying to justify the violence by saying "we tried peace" very frustrating.
There are many practical steps. One of the most popular things being talked about right now is demilitarizing police forces.
The best thing I heard is to change the us PD's view of guns. Teach police recruits that a gun is insurance, not a bargaining chip.
It's not just older generations who are racists, sadly.
One of the most logical and commendable responses I have seen. Unfortunately this change can only happen if people in power are willing to try and do something. I love your word, I will try to push this video out to as many people as I can!
your video needs to be seen by more people than just us gamers
I recently started to see your videos, specially the Black Ops II guides, since I returned to the game now in quarantine.
When I saw that you decided to express yourself not only to your public but also to a more broader audience, I was curious to see what you wanted to put in the table, and now I conclude that you have a great sense of justice, one that wasn't present in my knowledge, and it's good to know.
I believe that you did a great job, considering that you left an excellent reflexion with your personal story. Other aspect in which I also believe that you "nailed it" was with the serenity you expressed yourself. Of course, people could say that is not the same situation to record your person in a controlled environment like your room compared to, let's say, a street talk, a debate, or similar cases, but I have seen cases of controlled environments, in where even people get "negatively emotional" (like starting to increase their volume tone without too much reason and even starting insulting the camera, I don't know why, but they act in such way).
Now, I'm not american, but still, I believe I can express my point of views on the case; First of all, I completely condemm the murder of that poor man, who never deserved such "treatment". In a second point, I agree with you that neither of both spectrums are actually doing it in an ideal way, yes, with good and bad events, but still, not "enough".
I'm not a lawyer, and to be honest, I also don't know too much about the laws that regulate your country, but from what I have seen by various media, people, articles and your person, I would say that a great awareness campaign is needed not only in your country, but across the entire world, in demand to quicker generational changes. We are already present in the XXI century, with humanity passing through a very complex timeline, full of all types of devastating conflicts and problematics, that should have taught us to not condemm ourselves to repeat the errors of the past, but as the saying tells "there is people for everything in this world, for good and for bad causes".
Apart from massive awareness of respect to all humanity, regardless of what genetical conditions we can have, I also believe that the "freedom phylosophy" in which the United States of North America is apparently based is a double-edge weapon, and I would encourage that government forces should have more regulations, since they are the ones who are in power most of the time, therefore they should be the greatest examples to the societies, something that unfortunately is not always the case. With the civilian population is more harder to implement this, since you cannot control like nothing the behavior of the masses in a 100%, there will be always persons that will recurr to violence to respond to a certain violence, believing that what they are doing is the correct behavior, when in most of the cases is just going to make the case worse, and should only be kept as a ultimately last resource tool, and one should have the duty to prevent it as much as possible.
Definitely, 2020 is becoming the darkest year in the recent evolution of the XXI century. Not only the world is facing COVID-19, an enemy that could have been prevented from rising in a first place, but also we are facing the worse aspects of human nature.
I'm just hoping that with time humanity will evolve, and not un evolve in social terms. Great video, Drift. Greetings from Colombia.

this is real stuff, super respectable bro
Never would have expected a COD TH-camr to actually make a 30-minute video speaking straight facts. Using your platform to spread awareness. Big props to u man 👏👏👏👏

That did not age well...
You truly earned my respect today man. Appreciate you using your platform to speak on true issues outside of gaming and being so transparent
here in alberta, canada, we have something called ASIRT (Alberta Serious Incident Response Team) that functions similarly to what you're talking about with respect to a special division that is separate from the police that is responsible for automatic investigations when people are killed or seriously injured by police, or other allegations of misconduct.
this was an excellent video, and i'm proud to add myself to your subs.
travii306 I am in BC, and I agree that non-police oversight is a huge part of the key. I wonder how that worked out for the Alberta local cops that slammed the girl to the ground in a stormtrooper outfit for having a blaster, on May 4th.
As a reformed racist who still works on himself and works to spread the word and awareness of racism in gaming and in our society, I want you to know that I know how hard this probably was to make and I applaud you for doing it, and for facing your past prejudices and working to become an amazing human who gets to bring something awesome to the lives of gamers everywhere.
👏👏👏❤
I'm quite conservative in my views however I live in Ireland, from an outsider's perspective I really couldn't understand the need for a black lives matter movement because of how different things clearly are. Now I can see that antifa and blm really aren't one in the same and shouldnt be regarded as such. I am really grateful for the insiders perspective from someone as experienced as you. And I fully agree that violent riots are extremely counter productive for both sides of the argument. Especially during a time like this we should be coming together as human.
Not all blm are antifa but all antifa are blm
@B Pr yeah 45 is actually not fascist or any other thing we've been told to believe he is. propaganda is a real thing, and is really dividing the country and adding insult to injury. i bet you, if the mainstream media wasn't as partisan as it currently is, because it's another election year, the tensions would have subsided a long time ago.
Plus I'm black, and I support the movement black lives matter, because, of course I think my life matters, but I don't think my life matters more than anyone else because I'm black; that's literally racist.
And from what I've been seeing of ANTIFA, I honestly don't support them. In my opinion, if not all of them, the most active and loudest ones, pretty much want to burn the country down, and that's just foolish and immature.
Plus, my libertarian views literally don't align with their radical tactics. They literally suppress and oppress people, which in itself is dangerously more fascistic than anti-fascistic, and that's why I can't support them.
You're doing your part.
We WILL have justice, and we will take it with peace.
RandexFR What does that have to do with the protests?
@RandexFR no one condones violence but what are we supposed to do? White people never listen to our peace but now all of a sudden we're main stream news. Now you'll listen.
@@rpaustex absolutely nothing, that happened 100% at random and people aren't making any excuses for that kind of behavior. Oh, wait, that's exactly the opposite of what I was saying.
RandexFR lives are being lost because of the colour of peoples' skin. material possessions are nothing in comparison to human lives.
@@pazTBH Which is why you would condemn the violence and rioting, since that has already led to several deaths. Right?
Definitely the best video I’ve seen on TH-cam that covers the issues going on now. Thank you for this drift
What issues are going on that affect BLM
I appreciate your mature approach to this topic, tempers are high right now and it's very easy to just go along with it but as usual, you have provided a reasonable, calm and mature viewpoint, supported in large portions with factual information.
This is a large platform you have created here and your voice is important to many of those that follow you, (especially those for the content like this), so thank you, for being a calm voice in a storm of chaos.
I came here for the guides and I stayed for the opinions, you're intelligent and you often use reason above emotion, I respect that.
God it's so refreshing to hear a calm and concise point of view where someone is able to articulate their opinions and thoughts on a matter from an objective and emotion free standpoint. Keep up the good content Drift0r!
I knew you were going to make a video speaking on the subject.
You talked about your upbringing multiple times before and when I got the notification for this video I was afraid you were going to take a somewhat radical-right stance. Very glad that’s not the case. Thank you for trying to be a decent person.
Also, people need to watch the documentary ‘13th’ on Netflix. It might open your eyes to a lot of things regarding racism.
Yup, I was also waiting for this video, but I think I knew drift would not betray all the growth he’s done since his awful upbringing
Driftor: about to make a funny video
Universe: no lmao
How can someone even dislike this video. Thank you so much for posting this. Please share this, more people need to see this.
When I become a police officer I'd have no problem testifying against a bad cop
Icey Matt Home I hope you mean that
How could someone thumbs down this video..
Alzala Gobbo TH-cam bots , which are made to balance videos or facking racists idiots
Maybe we don't have to wait that long for Fallout 5 after all
😂😂😂
In that case I hope Bethesda goes bankrupt, And the license dies with it 😂😂
This made me tear up man. It takes a lot to overcome teachings. I have so much respect for you. Thank you for being the perfect example of an ally.
You’re the best Drift0r. I always love listening to what you have to say about the important current events we’re facing. I get so excited when I see a new analysis video from you because I know it will be fair, unbiased, and as informative as possible. Keep being you bro!
Sir im gonna say this..
As a mixed black Hispanic over in the UK🇬🇧
You are a small miracle. 🖤
And its been so refreshing listening to your experience..
I really empathise with you in that situation.
you must have felt so so alienated.
I feel not enough white people open up about their own personal battles with alienation being disowned for have black friends or partners.. Everyone just tars you with the same brush not knowing your personal suffering.
Thank you for the insight 🌎
People are gonna complain that he said the n word growing up he literally couldn't not say it and there's nothing to say I am mixed and I don't really say the word myself but as long as he knows and he doesn't say it now idrc abt his past we all know he would change it if he could.
Mixed 4Weird
N
No one complained
Bro what are you on about no one said that in comment section
@@Rudiudiii forreal bro
Protests should really be about citizens arrest. If we had more right to arrest a cop for using excessive force we may get somewhere.
GL arresting cops when they outfitted like they're about to go to WW3.
*This comment section will be glorious*
Doubt it. I've had 3 comments deleted already.
nah hes just deleting most comments...i had a long thought out respectful one deleted....then copy pasted some comments from black guys also deleted
and no not using no no words like slurs etc just stating facts seems to be enough to trigger deletion
RandomGamerCory
So just a bloody echo chamber thats it im unsubbing i got exclusive ace to watch instead now.
@@Micro-Lander pretty much
@Nik3 I said that we're verging on the edge of a race war and starting a video with a BLM logo is a bad idea. It was clickbait and most certainly not 'grown up'.
I love when you talk about serious subjects like this and break it down why you feel the way you do. Great video once again!!!!!
This is one of the most even toned and level headed take that I've seen so far and highlights the issues on all sides of this thing. The major problem with the violent protests right now is that the focus has been somewhat shifted away from the original problem. I have shown new ones, but the good still doesn't outweigh the bad. Glad to see someone on here has a rational approach to this.
Also, it was fascinating to hear about your childhood because growing up and living in West Virginia, we are just taught that people are people are people. We are, for the most part, isolated from many of the issues that occur other place which is nice, but living in our own bubble isn't the way we grow.
