      He's OG and anyone who knows any og's, they know that words don't matter. That's what people use to separate everyone to keep them into their little corners. When all these politicians were talking about everyone who didn't agree with them are this or that, the real OG's just shake our heads and just tell ourselves that those people are just ignorant, uneducated fools.

Sky News is completely unbiased and purely factual from what I've seen, so I'd say they're okay. But watch out for shows like The Project, they like to try and act like they know everything. I'd also recommend 60 Minutes or A Current Affair, sometimes it seems like they may be biased, but they only represent facts when I've watched them.

    I think people throwing hate towards you in the comment section didn't watch your entire reaction. You did a great job explaining after the video. Keep up the great reactions!

      Exactly! They definitely didn’t, they watched our initial shock and then jumped to conclusions but Acal himself saw this reaction and it’s clear he understood so It’s alright. Thanks for watching all the way through and understanding!

    Yeah, first time hearing this my jaw dropped. I just sat there for a minute thinking it about how I just got verbally destroyed. Then immediately listen it to again, and again. Reminds me of this article about Confederate and Black Panther joining forces in the 1960's. As the end of the day AOC and Ted Cruz couldn't care less about poor people unless it makes them richer and more powerful They profit from us fighting, we suffer because of our frustration
    But the people need to re build the bridges our political masters have burned down instead of waiting for a politician to do it. I live in The South, am not white but one of the remaining few Indigenous Americans. Poor white people are not racist, they have always been, nice,
    respectful and understanding, all while flying the confederates flags. That Symbol to them is the same war cry as my people "F@#k big government, let us savages be free of your corruption and false profiteering, let us exist without supervision, supression and judgement" The media tells a different story, but honestly check this article out www.salon.com/2017/01/10/1969-vs-2017-when-black-panthers-aligned-with-confederate-flag-wielding-working-class-whites_partner/

    Again I’ll say it. You two are a breath of fresh air because you listen to the song and don’t think or respond to it with your feelings and understand the message. I’m a 55 year old white man from the Bronx and just love you two. I would vote the two of you into the White House in 2024. I respect you guys you are what this country need right now. Take care and God Bless from Joey from the Bronx

    I say this with all humility, but I refer you to the Star Trek (original series) episode "The Savage Curtain" where someone uses an "interesting" term to describe Lt. Uhura, and she says "we have evolved so that we don't get outraged over words". That was 50 years ago. (Not that I want to use that word, it just makes me upset that people let a word cause them to go into a frenzy). BTW really happy I found your channel, you guys are the genuine article.

    When I was a child, my friend’s parents were from South Asia. I asked my friend (we were about 8 yrs) how it made her feel if she heard the P-word used towards her as a racial slur . I don’t remember her exact words, but I remember the emotion I saw in her eyes. Back then, it was unacceptable to us kids to use any racial slur no matter who your ancestors were.
    I’d like to ask Justin and Staci......In your opinion......would it be better to make all racial slurs tabu and unacceptable for all to speak?
    I’m curious what you think.

    I was also initially shocked when I heard this song. After listening a couple more times, I concluded that he talking about stereotypes...how they are really not relevant, and how we REALLY need to come together, regardless of race or creed.

    Adam was telling how some from each side think about the other side. But toward the end is the most important part of the song they pin us against each other and sit back and watch it happen.. There are not two sides people don't let them brainwashed you into believing so. We all are humans !! Peace

    This song is really clever. He's simply pointing out the distorted stereotypes in society and how they're perpetuated by the media. The heavy language emphasises the point, and I think that the message would have suffered if he didn't use it. Kudos to Adam for this intelligent piece of art.

  • @BrettCasto
    @BrettCasto 3 роки тому +2

    Yes. Yes, he had to say it to get the message across. And he did it well. I personally despise the word, but that's me. And as a hillbilly, he didn't lie a bit.
