    You are right on target. When they say, "People of this Country", he means ALL of US. Color matters NOT. UNITE. FIGHT.

    That's how Tom got denounced as a racist. Not because he actually said anything racist. He grew up listening to and admiring Tupac who had messages in his songs, substance, lyrics about the community and social issues. Hardly anyone does that now. It's all about drugs, alcohol, partying, hoes, etc. So he wrote a song that went viral called Dear Rappers asking rappers why they weren't writing lyrics with any meaning. Because he's a white rapper with braids, they said he was a racist for questioning black culture. That was his whole crime. So Tom said, "Hold my beer" and has been speaking out in his music ever since. He has over a billion views on UA-cam, over thirty Billboard plaques (many are number ones) and a loyal legion of fans from all races, age groups, backgrounds, etc. He's 100% independent, writes all his own beats, his girl Nova shoots and edits his videos, they do the marketing, PR, building the sets, etc. And when he drops, he consistently beats Em, Drake, Cardi B. and other top label artists on the charts. People are looking for substance. Great reaction and I liked hearing your thoughts.

      Like Blues, Rap is 💯 American Roots music.
      Both genres are gifts to us, courtesy of Black Americans.
      If all that you're saying is true, then Tom needs to respect and appriciate that fact. Like Eminem for example. He credits Rap with saving his life.
      That is what he said to everyone after performing when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Then he named every one of a long list of Rap artists that were his influences.
      You called Tom an independent artist who has the nerve to criticize other independent artists.
      A white rapper with braids is not questioning Black culture.
      It's called appropriation.
      If someone calls you a racist, it is because of something that you have said or done.
      It is not unusual for some particular white people not to get it.
      If it matters to you, then that's when you need ask why you would think that about me and pay attention to the answer.

      @@eileencastillo6323 That's your opinion and you're certainly entitled to it. It's not that we don't "get it" but that we don't agree with it. Gifting us with a genre of music doesn't mean that no one else is ever allowed to criticize or have an opinion about it. People criticize art forms from other cultures all the time. No one is immune. Don't expect people to financially support a genre by buying the music, but never voice an opinion about what they are supporting. Do you honestly expect me to believe that you've never criticized a single thing brought to you by cultures outside of Black Americans? And you obviously don't know Tom. He has credited Tupac and Eminem with saving his life. He spent 100K on a beat from Em just to write a song giving him his flowers.
      I also don't believe in appropriation. Every single person uses/makes/or is influenced by things and styles from other cultures. And that's a good thing. It keeps us from dividing ourselves into isolated groups and helps us to find commonality with our neighbors. I think you'll find braids have been worn for thousands of years all over the world. Tom lived in Crenshaw for a couple of years. He started wearing the braids then and just kept it. Just like many black women have straightened their hair and dyed it blonde or red and keep it because it looks awesome on them. If it makes you happy and isn't done to mock the other culture, why discourage it?
      Being called racist used to really mean something, but now anything or anyone the left doesn't like or wants to silence is deemed racist. Blame them for weakening the word so it no longer has the stigma it used to have. If criticizing a genre of music makes you racist, there are a lot of country music haters who will have to accept that title. Which is ridiculous. I don't assume that just because you don't like current country music and prefer older tracks from Johnny Cash or Merle Haggard, you hate white people. If true equality is the real goal, no one can have special privileges that make them immune from any criticism.
      If you've actually listened to Tom's song Dear Rappers and you think he deserves to be labeled as a racist for it, maybe that's when you need to ask yourself why and pay attention to the answer. Because as a rapper and a fan of rap for years before writing that song, Tom didn't say anything that I haven't heard many, many black reactors say about rap music over the last ten years. He just put it into rap form. And obviously a whole lot of people agreed with his lyrics because it went viral. So are you just upset that a white guy said the same thing many black people were saying or do you go and scold all the black reactors criticizing the lack of substance in the genre, too? By the way, the CD he held up during the song was an Eminem CD.
      Too many people finding offense in everything they see or hear and too many people walking on eggshells all day out of fear that they'll offend someone is what is dividing this country. I never purposely try to offend anyone, but I'm also not going to let anyone guilt me or intimidate me into keeping silent. That's how bullies and domestic abusers control their victims. I believe everyone should be able to share their opinions freely, even ones that I disagree with or that I find offensive. If we can't do that, none of us are truly free.

You had me, when you said “When the media said something”😎 Gotta respect the fact that Tom(braids), Adam, Tom’s girlfriend, Tom’s Sister and Brother-in-law basically made this track / video. Tom makes all his own music, beats, and his girl Nova shoots, edits and produces all his vids. Also, Tom is not with any label, isn’t co-signed, no marketing comp., no publicist etc😳 Legit Indy! The Hang Over Gang or H.O.G is the fan base and we’re here for Tom and the reactors who support his anti cancel culture, anti woke culture and evils of the media, big pharma and corrupt government.

    New SUB, the song that kicked this all off for Tom was "Dear Rappers", it really speaks to so of what you said. We are Red, White, and Blue and we don't want a fight, but if things get pushed further, its just common sense what will happen I think. Peaceful protests are the best, but when a person has to defend themselves or their family, there are no rules. I love your way of thinking and you got a new sub from another "white" guy. To me its just pigments, it does not matter, it is what is in your heart, but also be super careful, those that seem friends can turn in a second and for stupid or valid reasons. My first time watching you and I can relate in many ways to your thoughts. Take care and God Bless you and yours.

    Tom is originally from Canada but has more patriotism then most Americans.
