I've been getting all your messages and emails asking me to talk about what's been going on in the world. I've taken my time with it specifically because new information drops, like, everyday.
It's hard to keep up, admittedly.
But, you don't want to rush content for the sake of staying 'relevant'. That's pointless. I'd rather work on something that didn't age like toast in two weeks, than rush to get something out that's reactionary and flaccid.

Huey: What do you do if you can’t do nothing, but there’s nothing you could do?
Grandpa: You do what you can ❤️
that's what my dad always tells me...he's a lot like grandpa except a rich sellout. what he really means is "if you can't do what I want you're dead to me."
@@SantaFishes101 Damn thats rough
Canalave Maiden [plz look at my playlists thnx] That’s rough buddy.

Grandad was always an awesome character.
Who asked
i didnt get hired at my job interview i had today.
but the storyteller released a video so today was alright
Good luck with the next one!
I've literally put a lot of applications for a job this week. Hopefully someone answers back. Good luck
Just shout racism and complain on Twitter, that tends to work.
Who asked
Not going to lie, you've changed my opinion a lot. I still don't 100% agree with you, but I thank you for making me more open minded and interested in the subject as well as making me consider the situation in ways I didn't.
What is it that you don't agree with
Don't take in his lies, this man is a liar and he does so with Glee.
@@TheEverFreeKing could you show me your proof ?
TheEverFreeKing I don’t agree everything what the story teller says too but you need proof of him lying
TheEverFreeKing What part of what he says is lies? I’m not attacking you I’m just curious l don’t believe everything he says either.
I can already tell this video is gonna be great
They always are
me too
I mean it's a video filled with lies and half-truths, truly a horrible piece of propaganda.
TheEverFreeKing
Lmao what
TheEverFreeKing
You say that but name none of them
i cant remember who says this but liberation for one is liberation for none. Black transwoman life expectancy is 35!! intersectionality is why ALL of us must be liberated instead of just one. this isnt just a fight for black cisgender men but a fight for ALL black people. working class solidarity etc
I believe who said it was Reni Eddo-Lodge.
Did I read that correctly???? 35?!?!?
So basically all lives matter.
@@markstriker925 basically a racist reactionary saying? I doubt it.
Mark Strike It means all black lives matter
Just by reading the title I already knew it was gonna be a good one and you didnt disappoint. You are correct when saying the BLM movement has to grow beyond just police injustice. Eventually it will have to make connections to the labor movement, the anti war movement, the anti prison movements, and all other movements where injustices are still plaguing the black community. Its gotta be anti imperialist focused.
I agree but we also have to take things one step at a time because a lot of our peers are still ignorant/brainwashed.
Damn I was so tired I couldn't even spell "poison" while making this.
EDIT: Note to self - Don't edit at 4AM. You'll misspell everything.
The cat reminds me of ghost trick the Nintendo DS game i have sense i was a kid
TheStoryteller I think that personally they should be targeting white and wealthy companies to burn down not fellow broke brothers in the community because it's just making the community more broke. I understand that some people want their voice to be heard be let's be honest, how many of them niggas are down for the cause and not just anti police.
@@jayloncain3793 that's what he's supposed to be. It's a direct reference to Ghost Trick.
That was kinda funny tho
@@TheStorytellerAJ awesome man
Honestly as a white guy, participating in the protests I was really angered at the fact people around me HAD to be there- and for me it was a choice, you know? Like you said, I could of stayed home and not given a shit. But im engaged to a black woman, my family disowned me for being with her, I went to a church that taught black people just werent equal to white people. I've been asked to leave because people are uncomfortable around an interracial couple.
Their opinion doesn't matter, it's a beautiful action to took towards the relationship you actually wanted. And nobody has a right to criticize or exclude you from their communities because of your personal choices.
I'm with your struggle, express my genuine respect towards your actions, they'll eventually bring us all to a better society someday, people like you should know, you aren't alone and you make a difference.

Very well written. I agree 100%. I wish more people could watch this--I've shared it, but more people need to.
Who asked?
@@j.6380 do yu really jus go this? this the third time i seen u comment this
As an uneducated young black male it’s a lot for me to take in I was never really into history and politics but a friend recommended me to dip my toes into this topic. To be aware of what’s going in the world and grasp the truth
If you have the chance please teach yourself and learn. At one point y our ancestors could be killed for reading young man. Take advantage of it please.
To defend Killer Mike here, I think he meant filling out the census is important due to the 10 year gap between them, by saying "I live here" you expand your local areas allotment of resources and representation. Something that black communities need.
Due to general and justified mistrust of government, black people under-represent themselves in the census and that can exacerbate systemic imbalance. His time to suggest doing that is weird but I think he just wanted to shout it out while he had cameras on him.
The one creator I've been WAITING to make a video in this shit. Keep up the great work!
Appreciate the fact that you brought up trans oppression. It's so tiring hearing so many Black people using the same piss weak logic used against them against LGBT people or even other ethnic groups such as Jews.
Tbh most of us are cool with those guys.
As an activist in my community and as a person that's been organising the protest I wanna say thank you for making this video and showing us your support
Who tf asked
J you don’t usually have to ask someone to say thank you
Target identified
Cops in our world to me are like the marines in one piece. A few good ones but mostly puppets to the slave
I feel like most people will never be on board with radical change, it doesn't matter how hard you push, you will only get the majority of people to take baby steps in the right direction. I mean, I can't think of a single revolution that actually made things radically better for people. Only a little better or maybe a lot worse.
The decentralization of BLM is, in and of itself, a two sided coin. Centralized movement tend to fall into cults of personality and soon enough you have one person on top who speaks for the rest and seeing how eager some people in the movement are to align with capitalist interest...
The criticism is valid though, but I see BLM as a microcosm of the leftist movement in general. We have liberals, anarchists and tankies and we all hate each other more than we hate the status quo because, as bad as it is, the status quo is KNOWN.
I'd argue it's because we keep fighting over the correct way or solution instead of embracing pluralism. Like yeah, capitalism has done a huge damage to everyone, but if you want revolution, what are your options? Kill capitalists and liberals? Exclude them? Ignore them? Pretend they don't exist? Even if reform seems insufficient, we must be willing to embrace pluralism rather than aspire for all of us to have one ideology.
BLM is centralized they have their own website and organizers
@@staraptorflock3661 The central BLM fundcenter is completely unorganized, all advice has been to donate to a specific chapter in order to achieve something more.
FellinuxVI I guess I guess I'm not educated enough in the matter. What is a chapter?
@@staraptorflock3661 It's what they call specific branches or smaller groups of the movement, guess it's easier to organize them locally or at state level.
Idont know what you try to make with this videos.
But from the bottom of my heart, i want to thank you, i feel like i always learn something new with most of your videos.
With that been said, i promise it wont go to waste.
I was already liking this video, but seeing that promo for VA-11 HALL-A made this a straight 12/10. Good video man, I'm definitely sharing this. Your editing is strong and the way you organize your points is clear and effective as well. I think if you make use of the new sections feature youtube's added, it'll be a huge help when looking up specific points to reference or review without clumsily searching through the whole video. Keep it up and never stop dropping knowledge on us.
You're such a sober voice when it comes to BLM, pretty much explaining all the things I feel in a digestible way of informing people. Thanks for making these videos, the world really needs it!
8:24 We are in the middle of a pandemic and it goes beyond convenience. The people at that Target lost their jobs, and people lost essential services. Like, that destructive energy could have been towards burning down a police station or the houses of corrupt officers, but instead, we're eliminating resources in our neighborhoods.
Not to deny that some of these vandalism acts are undercover cops who are trying to disrupt the movement or corrupt business owners filing insurance fraud. There's plenty of THAT going around...
EDIT: So I watched the rest of it and the part about organization is what I'm on.
its really fucking weird, how i got this channel recommended to me from watching some channel who puts up old dubbed kung fun flicks lol
even more weird who im recommended this since im a pro capitalist, conservative minded white dude. its very interesting to get the perspective from someone with a background being affected and knowledge through activist quotes and anime Boondocks references. its a pretty dope channel
gonna subscribe, even knowing there will be political disagreements you have great perspective on social issues. I love hearing arguments to capitalism to understand what the system could do better to combat the government and corporate structure that seizes it then pits everyone below to fight and distract ourselves
it shows me that even though we vehemently believe in different systems and opposing ideologies we recognize the man/men behind the curtain pulling the strings to corrupt any and all system that seek to control us regardless of the system itself
Bruh, I need a reading list for everything you mention in these videos.
1960:people call mlk a communist
2020:people call blm a neomarxist movement
Didn't the co-founder of BLM, Patrisse Cullors called her self Marxist!?
Member, everything hostile in the '60's was labled 'communist'. Cold war and all..
No-fucking-body nowadays thinks this about MLK.
And yeah, alot of supporters of BLM call THEMSELVES marxists.
@@doniel370 blm the movement and blm the orginization arent the same thing, ideas dont have a leader
Black people honestly need a leader like Malcolm X or mlk because we need someone to be the face of our movement
I've been waiting now is the time
Dude this video seriously reminds me of the conversation that Vaush and The Amazing Atheist had recently on how to create solidarity for the working class and against the establishment
Irony of Huey Freeman even though he is a fan favorite is that a real life person of him most black people probably wouldn’t even like him and would react to him similar to the way the black people in the show reacted to his views on Obama in the “Black America” episode.
Great work but my man, can we get a song list?
What is the song at 3:00?
genius.com/The-last-poets-dead-prez-and-common-panthers-annotated think it's this but i can't find any recordings online
As a black man, I will not have kids.
I am open to adopt a kid, but I can't have any kids in this world.
I will not bring my own flesh and blood into this world only to bring them systematic suffering and ignorant judgement based on the color of skin.
On another note, I like this video. I understand why the streets are on fire for not only the death of George Floyd but countless others. I would have LOVED to protest, but the lack of organization and strategy has allowed infiltration of the most sinister degree and warped the purpose of the protest.
Not only that, but I hear now that law enforcement is using security footage to find and arrest protesters.
SMH.
"There's never a right time to protest injustice" I need that line for a poem, sir.
Love your vids, wish I understood the depth behind The Boondocks when I first watched it. As a white viewer I had no idea what it is truly about, but this new day and age has been eye opening. Thank you, please keep making videos!
I always appreciate the storyteller for being willing to start complex conversations not everyone is willing to start
only started watching your stuff in the last few months. Really appreciate your content, good sources, good points and you bring the strategies and established systems to the forefront that the media constantly tries to hide. makes sense, considering media giants can make money of other peoples suffering by selling it as entertainment.
Great video, and thanks for the reminder about VA-11 Hall-A. Got it on PC, but been meaning to grab it on Switch and it's on sale right now. Cheers!
Yeah, I was definitely waiting in you to make a video on this.
Let's also speak about England how they're still imperialist how they have subliminal racism but let's talk about the race riots in England and in America in 1919 when 1946 it goes on and on English know better honey they just do it different
You should post the track list for this video in the description.
I heard a Lupe instrumental and a Kendrick instrumental in there. But I really wanna know what that last song was
Has the song been found since?
The lupe instrumental is "Mural" From Tetsuo and Youth.
Seeing parallels from over here in the LGBTQ+ community as a pansexual transwoman. While I would never claim the situation is the same its fucking sad that folk seem to be more worried about sucking the dicks of a power structure that sooner would see us shut up and go away, cracking our skulls in the process, than fight back in ways that actually are worth a damn: Parallel systems, information campaigns, training folks to deal with the problems of a community away from the cops and courts WITHOUT things just turning to violence (which we all are prone to doing as humans, disturbingly so), or at the very fucking least fighting back. Though I gotta say, love all those folks in the riots who set the court houses and the police precinct buildings on fire. You may not be in the media but you are in my heart.
Im an apache helicopter
Well they do this because this system is all they've known, and once you've got a decent life in it, it's kind of hard to turn against it.
2 questions. Where can i find your background music for this? And why doesn't this have a ton a views?!?!?!?!?!
YES
I NEED THE BACKGROUND MUSIC TOO
Love your content and thoughts so much! Thank you!
The Shameik Moore quote brings a kind of toxic thinking in my opinion. The idea that black people in America need to vote more and work harder to get rich and change things is bad to me because it basically says that black people didn't want to change things badly enough.
I love ur channel bro
This was an amazing observation. I always wish The Boondocks was still running now because it would be very useful and interesting since it's such a metaphorical show.
DUDE! The FLCL quote is so good! It took me listening to it twice before I got it! 11/10 my dude!
Always great to hear your perspective!!✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Such an incredible video. Never stop creating this content man, this is without a doubt the stuff the world needs right now.
Also, that cut to Sonic in jail killed me LOL
Nice take regarding BLM!
Also, thx for reminding me about VA-11 Hall-A lol. Def checking that out soon
As soon as I realized the instrumental was A Boy Is A Gun* I was FUCKING HYPED
I can’t express how much I needed to hear this video. Please keep it coming
Bro your music and instrumental selection is elite!
The George Floyd protests were a moment of awareness for me, I was always progressive but I remember watching a video about liberal virtue signalling and how all the people claiming solidarity will stop caring in a few weeks or will join in with the claims that BLM have 'gone too far' or whatever. Of course the person in this video was absolutely correct, and it was a real moment for me of looking in the mirror as a white person and asking if I'm part of the problem. It did change my politics unexpectedly, but only to become a real progressive, not only a progressive when it suits me. It has caused tension with friends, I've lost a few, I've been called a 'far-left loony' plenty of times now, but that's what it takes to be on the right side of history. Because the alternative is staying quiet whilst crimes against humanity are taking place.
Finally man love your work
we also need solidarity & organization amongst the black diaspora.
Really good episode. Love the honesty and sincerity. Really sounded like you were speaking from the heart and mind and then framed it using the show when needed.
I have no idea how I've never found your channel before. I'm glad I've found it. You know your stuff.
So many excellent points in this video. Many of these I had never thought about before today!
These videos articulate my feelings in a way I never could.
A 30 min video from you is how I know its gonna be a good day 💖
This is the message that needs to be getting spread.
Thank you Storytellers!!! Your so far the only person on yt that has mentioned Native Americans/American Indians in a black lives matter video
Bro you actually blow my mind. Just a black brudda from ldn but fam your videos are helping man understand more!
Watching this for a second time and remembering why this channel is always suggested to me. Three months in and it still holds up. 😂
I am so glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work!
Anyone know what the song at the end is? It had some good lyrics.
I've been waiting and you delivered💯💯💯💯💯
I really did perk up when you mentioned Danganronpa, damn is this were my life has lead me where that’s the best way to speak to me?
I wrote an article @TheMinorityReport, about the fact that there are a bunch of people out there protesting (doing praxis) without having the ideology (theory) down properly. That's why you got people hugging the police at the protest and then getting tear-gassed two minutes later by the same cops. Same with the attacking of trans people, people think it's about the cops, but this whole thing needs to be about the total liberation of the oppressed, and that won't come through reform, only through REVOLUTION
We need to bring back the Panthers! RIP Chairman Fred
I will say this: The 1960 Civil Rights Movement attracted a lot of different people to civil rights protests, but none were as instutmental as Black middle class and Black church leaders in the South. It took an institutions and the knowledge and expertise of their members to sustain those marches and to maintain order.
I'm not sure if we have an example of minorities gaining equal status via revolution. That kind of only works when the oppressed people already inhabited their region, and are merely being occupied by a colonizing force.Typically, even the most radical changes are reforms with big impacts. Because it usually takes an institution to change another institution.
You should make like a podcast too with this I really love your points amazing video
Does anyone know the song that starts playing at 6:58?
I admit I laughed out loud when you brought up Danganronpa being a fan
But I what you’re saying about it and the comparisons and the willingness to stay in and leaving a fucked up system, infact I can already visualize Monokuma with a Trump wig XD
@The StoryTeller
I wanted to get you opinion about Actress Jenny Slate leaving her role Netflix's Show Bigmouth. A show where she played a Biracial Jewish African American preteen named Missy.
Slate left the role due to the belief and notion that only a black person should voice a Black Role.
I myself am black and I would have to disagree. I would understand and agree from a live action sense, don't need another prince of Persia situation.
But the beauty of voice acting is that. Who someone is doesn't matter, if the are able to bring life to a character.
And maybe I would understand if the character was trying to represent something of black culture in their character, like Huey. But ultimately I don't agree with this mindset what are your thoughts? Maybe you could do a video, about this.
Maybe I'm indoctrinated by the system, but I agree with you. I understand a desire to get black VAs more work (very underrepresented), but the argument also implies that black ppl should voice black ppl and white ppl should voice white people. 🤷🏿♂️
@@anthonynorman7545 right, I want more Black VA's I'm even interested in trying it myself. But this just harms everyone in my opinion.
I think... I think the problem is moreso that there's significantly less black animated characters than there are white animated characters. So, if we were to abide by that mindframe truly, black folk wouldn't get hired cause' we're not exactly the frontrunners of animation. Therefore, I think the conversation should be directed less towards VAs and their responsibility, and much more the companies than continue to produce mostly white characters.
I always found that the white voice actors that stood down for their roles was a bit of moral grandstanding. There were black voice actors that played a multitude of characters inside and outside their race... One of my favorites is Phil Lamar, who did Static Shock, Gambit from X-men, Samurai Jack, and Kratos from God of War, etc. It’s just a point of whether you can act the part while portraying the voice. Nothing more, nothing less. It also feels cringy to PC voice acting once you realize how many people play fictional animation that don’t necessarily have a race attach to them.
@@chrisinhuman3 yeah shit's just pandering and neglects the actual issue there

What is the song at 7:00 ?
What's the beat that starts at 15:28?
There's something important to being decentralized though... I feel like... it's understandable for many BLM founders not wanting to turn into targets/martyrs etc... historically being part of a vulnerable and consistently policed group in the U.S.
Decentralization has its benefits. For example if there are no leaders the leaders can't be assassinated by the FBI
Decentralization and centralization are trade offs. On one hand, being centralized means you have a level of organization that makes doing things easier. On the other hand, being centralized means that the organization is more vulnerable to exploitation by bad leaders.
A bad president can do a lot of damage to a country, but a bad dictator can ruin a country.
Fantastic video I adore this and thank you for talking about this.
How are you guys during these dire times?
You are Brilliant!
No need to apologize for how long this went on but for not letting it go on longer. You could've easily went even further into depth and expounded even further. Appreciate your work bro.
Another banger.
Yo im just here to give you props on the azula, ban sing sei reference. Great analogy.
I was talking about the riots with a guy when this was all starting and he used rioters killing a white guy as an example of how the issue exists on both sides/the protests are hypocritical as if police shouldnt be held to a higher standard than fucking civilians and as if the actions of a few represent the movement. So many pathetic pro police arguments rn.
My friends younger brother got shot in the face with rubber bullets and he wasnt even protesting man if police can do shit like that violent protesting is needed. I think a core issue with the police is the absolute power they hold in a lot of circumstances. Civilian rights need to be extended to the point we can intervene with the police legally cos god knows corruption in the institution won't ever stop, it's impossible. With large numbers in the police force you will always end up with someone abusing power simply because human beings are flawed.
This is a sidenote on this dumb rant but how can anyone say that anybody in the police takes the job to be a morale person in the first place when the job is literally discarding your own values and replacing them with the law. Obviously there are good police who do join to help but I can't say anyone should respect that decision as a morale one when step 1 of being a good person is following your personal values properly which is impossible as a fed, most of them have laws they don't agree with and they still enforce them. Just realised im only 9 minutes in the video and already ranting... smh me
Your first point is excellent, but you present a rather narrow view of what being good is. The idea of following the rules is that they should apply to everyone, ideally, they should be accepted by the people and work as a means of standarizing what is and isn't okay to do, solely going by your personal values is subject to an immense amount of subjectivity, how do you resolve a conflict between two people who firmly believe they are in the right without referring to something greater (or at least physically bigger) than personal values?
@@fellinuxvi3541 your totally right I think I actually worded what I wanted to say wrong in the first place. The only real point about morality I wanted to make was that equating the values of the law to morality is absurd as the law is there to keep order not to serve justice and that I don't think people who join the police force typically do so to become "good guys". As an example of this I believe the US surpeme court even confirmed the police have no obligation to protect citizens which seems counter to the image the police at least want to present to the public. I guess I just have a problem with people who equate the law tomorality when the system wasnt originally based around it. Btw I had been up for a crazy long time when I wrote this comment lol I hope I expressed what I meant to say better here. As for your point about resolving conflicts without referring to a greater system well you can't and with the subjectivity of morality you can't ever really reach a right response because of that I don't think most morale conflicts can be resolved with morality in the first place hence the need for a system to dictate what happens in those cases but the system we have in place is deeply flawed by the lack of democratic input from the general public and antiquated law that isnt revised and becomes convuluted through the years from constantly fixing a broken system rather than creating anything new.
@@BlazenAva666 That's really well put.
@אמונה Emunah • YHWH's Creation Any good system should account for people just not doing their job. The police should be policed to a higher degree an option could be increasing the authority of civilians although I know thats flawed but its clear radical change is needed. Inherently every system is flawed in the first place anyway so it's ridiculous to place blame onto people alone as you have. Humans are flawed, humans will always be flawed and law is a system we created to deal with that dosen't it seem strange that we give so much autonomy and authority to those meant to enforce it? Its almost ironic in a way The police ignore their need to be policed (at least sufficiently).
To add to your first point im sorry but it dosen't make grammatical sense I can't really reply as for the second well a) there are many different places policing systems have arisen from independently around the globe which history book should I read? All I know is a common factor in the beginning of the majority of systematic law is the upper middle and higher class needing to control the population (of course this is extremely simplified but still true). Even the ten commandents show a simple example of this in that a system where women had way less power rape wasn't among them like murder and theft I wonder why 🤔. and ask most lawyers they usually make a clear line between morality and law and those are lawyers the guys who study the stuff.
