wow this was truly amazing, the middle part where Sidam explains the futility and the racism behind their protest was amazing. i also loved how Sidam talks to the community and ask for their opinion. this was truly amazing. thank you!
This reporting was fantastic, goddamn. Taking the "good intentions" to task by examining where the funds actually go and asking the community their takes. Channel 5 doesn't fucking miss.
i had to laugh when it was revealed its a basketball court in STL. It is the most segregated city in the US, and a court isn't going to do shit to help that.
On the topic of that, Kanye West does not deserve reparations. Nor does Barrack Obama. Reparations of any kind would have to be sufficient enough to resolve inequalities that create things like crime, disparities in education success, etc.. I do like the idea of DNA tests. Lots of, people could benefit from that, and not just African Americans. Although privacy would be a big concern, especially in regards to data collecting.
agreed. i wish they would do a follow-up episode to show where the money really goes. from my research, the money goes nowhere good and is only used to enrich their leader Omali Yeshitela. Dude has a fortified compound in St Pete. its a fuckin cult and it always has been.

When Sidam brought up how many basketball courts were already in St Louis, I cracked up. I love the newsroom vibes between them. Channel 5 just keeps getting better.
I think the basket ball court at 29:30 was eventually built because I saw pictures of it when it was finished online. It's the Uhuru basketball court at 4368 College Ave, St Louis. When I looked into it more I discovered that most of the basketball courts are in the eastern part of the city which is historically a white neighborhood, and the western part of the city which is a historically black neighborhood doesn't have many of them in their parks. (This is known as "the Delmar divide.") So there is a rationale behind "building another basketball court" even though the city has many of them, because they aren't necessarily in convenient locations, and tend to be in wealthier neighborhoods. However, even if there are tennis courts but not basketball courts in the western half of the city, there are still Confederate monuments erected in the middle of those parks after segregation officially ended.

Given that Andrew has made his persona always being dead pan serious, even in the face of insane ramblings and behaviours, it was great to see him having a laugh with Sidam!
@@Pizza_Rat the concept of reparations doesn't work at all. It has never worked in all of human history. Also, if you can't deduce that he meant to type reparations and it got autocorrect, I feel bad for you, fam.
This dude is gold! In the beginning giving that chick a hug and says “your heart’s in the right place” but also “can I get 5dollars” got me dyin over here lol. Sidam’s laid back vibe is a solid contrast to andrews intentionally awkward interview method. Definitely wanna see more of this dude and it’d be fun to see the two of them doing interviews simultaneously like a good cop bad cop throw down where Andrew makes it awkward and Sidam brings em back to focus...minus 5 dollars 😆
Black people got their reperations when they were selling each other to slave traders... Mansa Musa a black king who was the wealthiest person in history created the West African slave ports in the 1400s which is why Europeans came there to buy slaves... Also the first legal slave owner in the US was a black man
@@Spookykidshow Every single white and black person definitely has a slave owner in their ancestry... There was even black conquistadors who helped the Spanish and Portuguese explorers map the US, the most famous was Estavancio who traveled from Florida to Texas with other explorers
The way she talked about it, it sounded like she was proposing gentrifying Africa. All of it makes me want to fold into myself until I create a black hole.
It was funny, but if he is African (descendants of immigrants who came here after slavery) the reparations wouldn't be for him. The reparations are supposed to be for black descendants of slaves in the U.S.
@@thedopeson Which makes it even more ridicolous because a black person that came after the end of slavery let's say in 1920 would still suffer racism that was rooted in slavery. So now would you split up the black community into "real deserving" black" and those that didn't suffer enough? And what about mixed people? This whole concept is crazy.
@@Jm-uh7wg yea Americans don't even have free health care feel sorry for you guys, or Job Seker payments. In Australia we don't have to pay for health care and when we have COVID lockdowns without jobs we get $800 a week from the government.
"We're here to acknowledge how privileged we are as white people" "Can I have 5 dollars?" "Ahh...what I actually meant was, the white people who are richer than me are privileged..."
the cringe part was when they actually gave him money or seemed to want to. As annoying as the whole protest was and the organization itself, the one lady who basically was like no, it's not about individuals giving black people was at least right there. The person who had the most salient point was the older gentleman near the end of the video around 11 minutes. But the joke, at least imo, was that everyone else was so misguided and ignorant of the actual issues they actually tried to give sidam money. Like yo, what are you guys doing.
@@VultRoos I agree, they were all over the place with their message. I'm glad she didn't give money out of some misguided sense of white-guilt, it was just funny when she was confronted directly it ultimately came down to "it's not me, it's the richer white people" at a rally about acknowledging systemic racism and white privilege.
I love how Andrew is talking about the gentrification all serious and Sidam is like “let me pull up a map of the basketball courts in St. Louis” and then laughs 😅
I can't wait until an in-depth report or documentary is done on Andrew in like 20 years about how an independent reporter was able to capture the zeitgeist of an uncertain era with a bizarre but honest depiction. I'll tell my grand kids I was there from the beginning
I'm sad the top comments aren't talking about it. People mightve missed the subtleties. All of those basketball courts built over time, nothing but low wage jobs for everyone in the city. And then the gentrification begins. So much more stuff as well. almost like the people running the uhhuru March are good actors and in it for the money
It seems like they are telling them to leave oakland. "There ya go asshole, i built a basketball court in missouri. Go live there instead, stop fucking up my gentrification.
- "Coming from an anti-capitalist perspective, we do think that redistributing the wealth is gonna need to happen for any liberation to really happen" - "Hell yeah, can I have five dollars?"
@@KamBB-gu3pv Exactly. Reparations isn’t something neither one of these people could fulfill nor could they negotiate how much or where that money should go. Like the host said, “Your heart is in the right place…”
@Eevee* yeah im pretty sure he is a hypocrite for not giving five dollars when he is asking for the people in power and the ruling class to change the system and redistribute the wealth systemically
"Whats your favourite part of Africa?" "Well in west Africa they make jokes about eating beans and being slaves and I just love that!" One of the strangest comments i've ever heard.
@@Slacker4Life3 idk if that's true but what is true is that a lot of these people are inherently white supremacist. idk if they are purposefully racist (it's hard to say for sure tbh) but they enact racism on a systemic level
@@mspaintlive8995 I very much would disagree with that. A reporter should be seeing what other people think and getting their opinions. If you're asking questions in a biased manner, the person won't necesarily say what they'd think in a vacuum. You can either be a reporter or a commentator, but not both at the same time.
@@mspaintlive8995 yes it fucking does wtf. the one thing andrew says constantly is that he doesn't talk, he just lets the person he's interviewing talk without him saying anything.
This is so much worse than the usual content but it is kind of hilarious that you try to deny it 😄 I mean it would be racist to say it's worse, right? 🤣
@@urbly2638 Well you people certainly make me question if I am racist because I thought that was really weak but everyone is hyping it 😄 So do I dislike it because because he is black or because he is nowhere near as witty, weird and deliberately akward as Andrew? Or are you guys just light versions of the guys in the video?! 😅
This is s class Channel 5 editing. That fade in when Andwer responds to Sidam, class. Real good. But I appreciate the freedom of the style. It's great. I will look forwardward to seeing how you balance it in the future. Obviously this topic has a ton of irony so a lot of it works really well, it's not in your more serious work so... yeah man, your ethics show in the edit. It's great
@@twitchtveldenkoo2916 That could be, but this was about some awkward gathering for Reparations for Africans in Africa, yet protesting in the USA, while native Black Americans have been demanding this Justice Claim for decades. At as a matter of for over a century! What these people did here was very insulting and a slap in the face of Black Americans. They spoke of rights for everybody, but for the group that matters in the USA, which is native Black Americans.
@@TheRealCompensator not arguing against that, but it's not uncommon for there to be people protesting for other issues in tangent to whatever the main issue of the given protest is.
@@Killjoy.Z no kidding. They completely misrepresented a black-led movement. Seems wicked sus. Here’s the platform for the movement: ua-cam.com/users/uhurutv
They could give up their homes, like many black people had to do. That would be a good reparation. This all seems a bit like how the Jews were treated in Europe after the war. “Yeah you suffered, it’s horrible. Let’s commemorate.” Said the people living in the homes of families that were partially or completely wiped out. We all know how much land was stolen from black farmers and how thriving black communities were set on fire. Last century. We could start there because those people or their children or other close ancestors are still alive. It’s not that hard.
Wild that she would say that when the Mali were one of the major slaver kingdoms that provided bodies for the Atlantic Slave Trade, the very thing that these people are demanding reparations for.
@@nullw8768 Funny enough those same Mali people got fucked over by those same slave traders as their country was quickly put into shambles thanks to colonialism. And it's not all of Mali as Mali is a series of different cultures and tribes with different customs. Kinda like Nigeria which has over 150+ languages and over 200+ tribes and people of different backgrounds

I didn’t notice this man is the true def of low cost production lmao
"let's get some money" **maniacal laugh**
This is my favourite anchor already
We need more Sidam!
This dude is gold! In the beginning giving that chick a hug and says “your heart’s in the right place” but also “can I get 5dollars” got me dyin over here lol. Sidam’s laid back vibe is a solid contrast to andrews intentionally awkward interview method. Definitely wanna see more of this dude and it’d be fun to see the two of them doing interviews simultaneously like a good cop bad cop throw down where Andrew makes it awkward and Sidam brings em back to focus...minus 5 dollars 😆
Yes
Yes
Si
Ja
Minus the $5 you know 😆😂😂😂😂😂
Sidam is a goldmine of content. I'd give him reperations anyday.
so you'll give him 5 dollars?
About 3 fiddy

"All I heard was white solidarity and I thought, I better get the hell out of here"
I'm fucking dead
Lol
Black people got their reperations when they were selling each other to slave traders... Mansa Musa a black king who was the wealthiest person in history created the West African slave ports in the 1400s which is why Europeans came there to buy slaves... Also the first legal slave owner in the US was a black man
why cant we have white solidarity?
@@Spookykidshow Every single white and black person definitely has a slave owner in their ancestry... There was even black conquistadors who helped the Spanish and Portuguese explorers map the US, the most famous was Estavancio who traveled from Florida to Texas with other explorers
@@Gnarnia. yeah for sure helped motivating to continue slave trading when white dudes come and paid a shitload for slaves
Holy shit, can Sidam be in more vids? He matches Andrews energy amazingly while also being a completely different personality
Love Sidam, he's hilarious too

It really set the tone for the entire video lmao
It cracked me tf up when the chick just handed him 20 bucks.
@@roverrange3674 "That'll work" hahahahah
It was funny, but if he is African (descendants of immigrants who came here after slavery) the reparations wouldn't be for him. The reparations are supposed to be for black descendants of slaves in the U.S.
@@thedopeson Which makes it even more ridicolous because a black person that came after the end of slavery let's say in 1920 would still suffer racism that was rooted in slavery. So now would you split up the black community into "real deserving" black" and those that didn't suffer enough? And what about mixed people? This whole concept is crazy.
He did a great job, glad the Channel 5 team is growing.
He did excellent indeed, I was thinking the same :)

@@Jm-uh7wg yes just print more money. What could go wrong!?!?
Sidam asking for $5 each time, and putting them on the spot, had me on 100% secondhand embarrassment 😆 amazing video though
"We're here to acknowledge how privileged we are as white people"
"Can I have 5 dollars?"
"Ahh...what I actually meant was, the white people who are richer than me are privileged..."
the cringe part was when they actually gave him money or seemed to want to. As annoying as the whole protest was and the organization itself, the one lady who basically was like no, it's not about individuals giving black people was at least right there. The person who had the most salient point was the older gentleman near the end of the video around 11 minutes. But the joke, at least imo, was that everyone else was so misguided and ignorant of the actual issues they actually tried to give sidam money. Like yo, what are you guys doing.
@@VultRoos I agree, they were all over the place with their message.
I'm glad she didn't give money out of some misguided sense of white-guilt, it was just funny when she was confronted directly it ultimately came down to "it's not me, it's the richer white people" at a rally about acknowledging systemic racism and white privilege.
Most of them thought it was funny or even tried to do it, honestly a pretty good look imo
@@VultRoos There shouldn't even be a situation where someone has this kind of set up. This protest is useless.
"You got change?"
"No."
"Sorry. Next time."
"Yeah. Next time."
I love how Andrew is talking about the gentrification all serious and Sidam is like “let me pull up a map of the basketball courts in St. Louis” and then laughs 😅
Had me dying 🤣🤣🤣
I mean that’s the point lol
Still so much said by both them
Yin and Yang bb
Sidam with that cutting, faint praise:
"I think your heart's in the right place."
i like his "congratulations" right at the end upon hearing that it was that ladies first time volunteering
heart's in its place but the brain has left the reservation
"Bless your heart."
"They wanna give us money so, lets get some money." Had me dying. I'd love to see more of Sidam.
_"Can I have $5?"_ freaking killed me every time. Hahaha
music at 4:00 is "held breeze" by Mount Shrine. highly recommend his other works. was so surprised to hear it, awesome choice of music!
I knew i recognised it! He’s a real genius in the drone and ambient sphere. Ghosts on Broken Pavement is my go to for study

yo this is really cool how you’re expanding your content. not just more variety of content but more depth too.
I can't wait until an in-depth report or documentary is done on Andrew in like 20 years about how an independent reporter was able to capture the zeitgeist of an uncertain era with a bizarre but honest depiction. I'll tell my grand kids I was there from the beginning
Straight up
Yeah and black people
These are real conversations! Even as cringey as they get, he's doing a good thing
Dont forget about Mexicans. for all the lower states that where stolen.
Sidam's laugh is the most contagious ever. The sound track was exquisite. Uhuru.
Sidam absolutely killed it. He needs more on-air time.
I love all these weird side characters like the Hoff twins and everyone at that pick up artist event in Vegas.

Was gonna leave it at 420 because Sidam is DANK!!
What video was he originally in?
I love how they’re keeping it funny while also covering some dark stuff
I'm sad the top comments aren't talking about it. People mightve missed the subtleties. All of those basketball courts built over time, nothing but low wage jobs for everyone in the city. And then the gentrification begins. So much more stuff as well. almost like the people running the uhhuru March are good actors and in it for the money
Yes white people acting goofy and larping activist is dark stuff lol
Really hope Sidam isn't a one-time cohost he is hilarious and seems to have the same ability to get people to talk that Andrew does
yeah id love to see him as a regular investigator reporter and interviewer
he gives me lowkey hannibal vibes
They said on the Patreon he's part the crew so they can do more
@@Benjoo-ly5tn Because he ate the Romans and exposed Bill Cosby.

@@bobriquardo5317 hiding your opinion has nothing to do with being a good reporter lmao
It’s polocutty
@@mspaintlive8995 I very much would disagree with that. A reporter should be seeing what other people think and getting their opinions. If you're asking questions in a biased manner, the person won't necesarily say what they'd think in a vacuum. You can either be a reporter or a commentator, but not both at the same time.
@@mspaintlive8995 yes it fucking does wtf. the one thing andrew says constantly is that he doesn't talk, he just lets the person he's interviewing talk without him saying anything.

They spoke of rights for everybody, but for the group that matters in the USA, which is native Black Americans.
@@TheRealCompensator not arguing against that, but it's not uncommon for there to be people protesting for other issues in tangent to whatever the main issue of the given protest is.

Bang on!
If all of those people went to work for a few hours instead of protesting they could then give that money to Black people.
They could give up their homes, like many black people had to do. That would be a good reparation.
This all seems a bit like how the Jews were treated in Europe after the war.
“Yeah you suffered, it’s horrible. Let’s commemorate.” Said the people living in the homes of families that were partially or completely wiped out.
We all know how much land was stolen from black farmers and how thriving black communities were set on fire. Last century. We could start there because those people or their children or other close ancestors are still alive. It’s not that hard.
Their giving black people a round of applause, are you illiterate?
