You're not a hater. You tried to understand. That's what we need to start conversations. Conversation is the first step in ptoblem solving. Coning together as Americans. Great reaction!
So this entire song was born from a day out at lunch. He saw a hairstyle he liked and said that's how I would do my hair if I was black. This is where going out of order is kinda tough. Because this came out shortly after whiteboy and they were telling him "you aren't listening to our story" so he went around the neighborhood and listened and this is what the people in Crenshaw told him.
It's from his viewpoint....Lol I was raised in ATL- I'm super white.lol. but my whole neighborhood was Vietnamese and African American. loved it.....lifelong friends I met there...
After Tom made the song he took it to the local Black Panthers chapter and they liked it and said when he makes a music video for it they want to be in it, so some of the characters in the video are actually Black Panthers. #HOG UK
Tom was living in South Central LA at the time and a lot of people in his neighborhood felt this way at the time. I think it's probably changed now. Some of the actors are actually Black Panthers. Much ❤️
I appreciate your open mind my guy, and I feel weird for this comment but for me its the first time I've watched one of your reactions that made you take a step back and not just have a reaction or personal reaction to something that was said
When he made this song he was living in Crenshaw California in the ghetto and all his neighbours were black and he would often talk to them about how they saw the world and this song came to him - to get people who may not listen to hear the side of black people - then Tom also had to really look at how he’d feel if he wasn’t white You have to really hear his words for what they are
I enjoy your layed back style. Your reactions are always honest, and I appreciate it. I want to ask if you follow, falling in reverse ? The lead singer Ronnie is good friends with Tom. There is a song of theirs I would love for you to react to. It is , Ronald. Thanks for all the great reactions.
Not every person is for every other person, but I do believe the seeds of racism/nationalism are planted by those who benefit from separating races, nationalities and ethnicities
#HOG family here for it ❤️ I really do enjoy your reactions because you try to actually listen to understand instead of just listening to reply/disagree. We definitely need more people like that because this world wouldn't be where it is if we really tried to hear the other person. I have alot if respect for you for that. What I got out of this was Tom trying to put himself in someone else's shoes, not really speak for anyone rather to understand where someone else is coming from. I can't remember if you got to the song Whiteboy but he did it behind the scenes for that video and he explains a discussion he had with his neighbor they had to do with barrel of snakes and only some of them are poisonous basically you're going to just expect them all to be poisonous (relating that to not all white people are racist but because some are), he explained it better than I just did. When Tom moved here from Canada he lived in South Central LA on Crenshaw, and he and Nova were the only white people out there and I think it really was a culture shock for him he explains that too in the video. So I explained that because he was around people who thought this way and I think he was trying to make sense of it because he really does believe in his music creating conversation and if you can't talk about why you believe something then we can never get to the root of the problem to move forward. Anyways I hope that makes sense. I loved that you said it came from a good place, i really believe it did and I think you understood it by the end. Thanks for listening to it all the way through, i def willcontinue to support your channel.
I'm telling you you want to see a good video you need to see black and white by Adam Calhoun Tom McDonald and dax n White Boyz is on Adam Calhoun's channel but it's from his and Tom's collab album
That's the thing as most people didn't know there was a difference until they were taught later that there's a difference I grow up in a town that was mostly white and it was Green Bay Wisconsin now it's very mixed race but when I was a kid it was 95% White or native American we have a high native American population which I personally am Green Bay packer players people thought its racist to say but it was facts. Then major move from Chicago it became very mixed when i hit middle school and if anything black kids were more popular because different was better growing up. No one cared until we were told were different but if anything it ignorance more than racist because culture is different.
I think he made this for his fan base considering they are predominately Caucasian. He’s trying to break stereotypes and break some questionable actions down in a way they will understand. I know some white folks who have never even interacted with minorities outside of business interactions. That’s my POV of this. Toms fan base goes from 7-90 so this can help create understanding.
You did a decent job at trying to figure out what he was saying snd what he was actually meaning. But boy was you looking triggered tor most of the song😂❤
@@Princedrethepresident ya but he knows it's going to trigger ppl and start a conversation. He does that in alot of his music. If you're open minded you'll think and understand. If you're close minded you'll just get mad. It was nice to watch you think it through and try to understand instead of just writing it off as racist.
I’m sure I’m not the first person to tell you this but you don’t get it. He didn’t say Black people don’t pay their taxes he said why would I pay taxes to the government that persecute my blackness. You should watch some more Tom videos before you do reactions to them get to understand what you’re watching- HOG
@@IndigoQuinn2008 Lol U gotta watch the whole video. I corrected my self plenty of time. I said I was taking it the wrong way at first lol. Gotta see the whole video and not comment on just 1 part
Stop listening to women, they lie lol jk great reaction bro, if no one gives you those vibes then they prolly aint that way.. just saying, women be talking some mad shit lol bros before... lows lol
@Princedrethepresident The whole point of the song is to create conversations. You're allowed to work through the song at your speed. I can't image a song from a black artist about serious white issues, idk how I'd feel or take it at first. It's hard to understand a perspective that's not your own, no matter what perspective you're coming from. Try to ignore the negative comments. Loved the reaction!

🤞🏾💯 I appreciate it
Fun fact: The extras on this song were Black Panther members from the local L.A. chapter.
So this entire song was born from a day out at lunch. He saw a hairstyle he liked and said that's how I would do my hair if I was black.

@@tanya41277 That's dope asf
Yes, he lived in CRENSHAW when he wrote and made this video!!
One of my fav! Now check out White Boy!

I am so glad you understood it by the end : ) #HogFamily
@@leanneferguson4185 I had to open my mind and really listen.
@@Princedrethepresident I'm so glad I subbed. I WANT my views and support to go to open minded people.

You have to really hear his words for what they are
@@angelika_munkastrap4634 I understood towards the end
Keep ‘em coming! Thank you for the reaction!

This is a legit view point. He's just spreading awareness of this viewpoint

What is the name of the song & artist ?
I appreciate your support
@@Princedrethepresident the song is called Ronald, by falling in reverse
Their videos are like movie's. I don't want to spoil any surprises. So I will just say I really think you will like it.

@@kcxray7888 It was rubbing me the wrong way at first lol. But I was over thinking it
@@Princedrethepresident pretty sure that's the point 😂
@@kcxray7888 I dont think so. I think he honestly made a song about Blk struggles the best way he could.
