"You are white so that means you are racist." and "You are a man so you are sexist towards women." You don't know how many times I have heard this in my 49 years of life being a white man. Any of my thoughts or ideas are always dismissed because I am white and I am male. This song resonates with me because I also "refuse to feel ashamed because of my pretty blue eyes". I believe in equality for all races and for men and women. We are all human, isn't that enough?
I'm a white woman and have been called a racist because of my color in certain parts of the city I went to for work. I was even told by a little old African American lady to be out of the neighborhood before dark or I would hurt bad.
@OldWeeb and anytime you try to voice the fact that you aren’t “racist” or “sexist” people just use the denial as a way to say you are those things or you wouldn’t defend yourself so strongly against the allegations. At least that’s what I am told.
Ive watched multiple reqctions to Tom's music. He will go down in history as one of the loudest voices for unity in this day and time. His music is a call to spark connections between the races.
Tom's music is such a loud voice of so many things that the majority of us try to say but get shut down and censored. We have to stop fighting with each other and realize who's responsible for the division and why they want it!
This is the song that got things rolling for Tom. At the time of this song. He was living in South Central L.A. and he was friends with his neighbors. Some of them are in the video. If you didn't know. His girlfriend and him are the ones doing everything. He is completely independent. No manager or record label. They build their sets for the videos and shoot it themselves. Simple remarkable and so much respect.
Yes, you absolutely have to be independent to keep the message you want to empart and integrity of the art itself pure. One of my cousins was a country musician back in the 80s. He was approached by a record lable but they wanted him to change some of the words to something sexual. He refused, so didn't get hired. I've always felt proud of him for that. The music "industry" uses music to shape (manipulate) culture. Same thing with acting. Anything "popular" (because the powers that be decide what will be popular and have the means to make that happen) has that element to it. But now, through the internet, we also have truly independent musicians who become popular because the people themselves are making that happen. I just hope that they don't eventually get censored like so many ideas are.
@@donnaknudson7296they've tried to censor Tom so many times, and yet his songs just keep topping the charts. Perks of him and Nova having their own label so they can't be put out for their words. More and more musicians are being driven independent because they don't want to conform to what a label tells them they have to do.
You nailed it with that last bit, Brit. The fact that many people saw that title and screen grab and decided to write him off goes on to prove the point that he was trying to make. Society says we need to focus on our differences, but that is bull. We need to get to know each other, so we can focus on how we are the SAME. That is how you bring people together and create what we all want: CHANGE (for the better)!
Nah, see I'm a realist..This shit isn't going to stop, so I'm fully embracing white supremacy, they want the Boogeyman, give it to these animals.. You can worship at the alter of MLK, as these blacks harm your family and friends I won't..
Britt, baby girl, I'm happy for you that you haven't encountered any of the hate, as a 1/2 Native American/white woman, I can't say the same!!!! I have had people of color come up to me and called me everything but a child of God!! Hate will never take any of us anywhere except down the wrong road. We all need to remember the same God made all of us!!!! We need to embrace our differences, learn from one another, help one another, most of all LOVE one another....I feel Tom's pain....STOP listening to all the hate and come together as one people!!!! POWERFUL song, we can all learn from it!!! It's time to bridge the gap, Heal the wounds, and come together, stand together and live together as one!!!
I am also half White and half Native American. I have been judged "White Racist" way too many damn times by Native Americans, Whies and Blacks. Our world has to come to the decision that we are all People of the Earth and forget about the pigments. When that day comes, we will be free.
@@TonyV5913 No… both parties have been infiltrated by the Global Shadow Government, which is where the terms “Uniparty” and “Rino” come from! It’s not one party, and it’s not even one country, but Global Infiltration and control.
Agreed, the pre / making of the video says so much about why he did this song and he went over it with the people in the 'classroom' and answered any questions they had before doing the video.
Britt, just found you here. I really loved hearing your perspective in realtime as you listened. I heard this for the first time a few days ago. Made me cry listening to it just now. He’s is speaking for many, even me, a 65 year old white woman. We let the politicians, the mega rich, and media inform us about each other and it’s got to stop. I was there in 1965. It was an emotional time, but made me proud to see it changed. I was there when a white woman pulled her child away because a black child too a drink. It enraged me. I went right over and took a drink and asked her, her name. I was 8 years old but I heard MLK speeches on tv, and Kennedy when he stood up against racism. And mourned both their losses. I am saddened to my core that we haven’t done better for each other lately. We don’t have to be like each other, or live each others cultures, all to be honored, to not appreciate our shared history as a nation that tried to change it. Still wants it better than the crap the media feeds us and tells us who we are. They don’t know me. And hopefully, they get to know you. You are beautiful and you have a voice and a platform. I don’t. But I’ll be landing on your page now too…sorry for the rant 😬
I love this song. It really says a lot for me. It is my humble opinion (which may or may not be a popular one), if you call racism on an entire group as a whole due to their skin color, YOU are truly the racist. I`m not ignorant to the fact that, yes, there are racist individuals in ALL groups, but to say that an entire group is racist is completely ignorant and frankly dangerous. Just my two cents.
As Tom said they (Rothschilds, Bush, Bidens, all in power) want every race to be viewed as a whole because removing the individual is their goal, individuals are bad, groups are good, but certain groups especially the ones where say individual liberty is often taught as a virtue (perhaps easier to teach to white people in the US if you look back at history to the founding of the US) then it helps achieve their goal, cut down the individual so those in power remain in power, people bicker with others just like us because we’re told we’re not supposed to like each other and those in power get away with so much and stay in power because instead of having an achievable goal of creating a better society we just look at removing or impacting certain groups so our group can do better
Its insane how someone from born in Canada gets it regarding the US more than those who were born & live here. Tom McDonald is 100% correct, mad skills, truth is truth. To truly hate someone you need to know them..
His last name is MacDonald.. which is Irish.. the first slaves in the Caribbean were Irish.. Africans came 20 years later.. and there was forced breeding .. ask Shaquille O'Neal
After Tom dropped this song he got a lot of rude comments, death threats, and just pure hate for this song. I honestly don't know why though as a fellow white man when I heard this song I agreed with everything in it. The response he made to those who acted such a way was with a song called This House, an absolute BANGER of a song
Thanks for your input . As a white man I grew up not seeing color or racism. Not until about 2010 did it start creeping back in I was born 1991. As I became a young man I realized quickly that I was considered a racist bigot based on my skin color which I have no control of which in its self is racist towards whites . And it’s only gotten worse and worse now there is more racism on both sides unlike I have never experienced until about 25-now . It’s very sad !!!
What I think is so great is the fact that soo many people are doing reaction videos to Tom's music and of all the reaction videos I have watched, everyone is on the same page. That to me proves that it "IS" the "SYSTEM" that wants everyone to fight so "IT" maintains control over us all. Love your video reaction! Nicely done.
Sadly Tic Tokk brings out all the “Sheeple” attitudes of people who bought into the Systems Gladiator arena! If they’d look up they’d possibly see the strings they ‘let’ “The big agenda/great reset/one world order” (call them what you want, what they are system builders - system of bs non existent issues turned issues at their evil hand) put on them out of wanting to stand up for ‘something’ -.- Stand up for the real issues- the powers ‘that be’ turning you/us the WORLD but primarily America for our freedom of speech 🎤 into their prized sheeple. Stop before you are the masses that shove us ALL into the pen of ultimate control. It’s sheeple that are marching headfirst headlong into the end of all freedom. Before you can post your next video of oppression you will find you’ve been duped into the Ultimate Planned Opression- you CANT post anymore you’ve been censored and your character credit score just dropped!!! Better fix that right quick and like Star Treks “The Borg” you’ve been assimilated ~ you will think, act, behave, and follow the great of one mind assimilation that you willingly walked into and drug the rest of us with you as we go kicking and screaming and blaming YOU the sheeples for letting them control you years back leading to our demise. Damn. We tried to warn you, Tom was one of the ones standing out on the ledge and instead of listening to him you let him jump … or not? Decide to stop buying into “The Great Reset” mentality. We might have a chance. Canada has lost their chance Norway too. China lost it a long time ago. They as a people out number their government and military considerably they could revolt as a whole but they’ve been mentally beat down into the ground like the arcade game “whack-a-mole”. They have been assimilated. Russia is on the brink, best buds with China now. We are about to go all digital currency and that my friends is ultimate control over us. They can shut us down instantly with a click of the mouse. Assets frozen. “You will own Nothing and you will never have been happier, you will have no privacy and you will love it…” it’s their own words unabashedly out loud they speak (Claus Schwab and His Great Reset - look it up, coming to another country near you and before you know it it’s found it’s way to your own, wait, a front door you live behind, not yours because YOU don’t own IT, they do!!!) OUT LOUD! It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s being proven by the goats own mouth. We the lambs are about to be sacrificed for the good of emergency environmental and climate issues - C40.org it’s bigger than a ‘thing’ it’s The New World Order and they think it will be world wide established by 2030!!!! It will if we don’t stop them and we can’t stop them if we’re busy fighting each other instead of uniting and keeping BOTH eyes on THEM! Who will win? In the end God!!! But we aren’t to,d to sit back complacently and let it go down while we wait for His return. We stand up for what’s right. Our country was founded on a covenant with God and the people on The Mayflower, Looking to escape the oppression of Europes leaders they prayed over their new found land and asked God to lead and guide them. Yes I know sin aka evil follows man kind where ever we flee and the precious Native American Indians fell to genocide because of it. But NOT everyone caused it or wanted it. Ultimate power ultimately corrupts in every new world, in every good intention, look back thru time and history starting with the Bible the greatest history book ever written and it’s Author is the creator of the world and the universe -GOD. His plan has been in tact since the beginning but we can make a move to disassemble evil as His children on HIS side not the side of the enemy’s enemies! Please do your own homework, don’t take my or anyone else’s word for anything. Seek and ye shall find, don’t stop seeking truth until THE TRUTH is revealed to you. Ask for Him to show you His Light and He will, He Will!!!
Same. There have been 1 or 2 reactions I've seen where they didn't agree with what he was saying, but the majority of them... all in agreement. Also, don't know if you ment to, but you mentioned The System, which is actually one of Tom's songs, and it says that very thing. Especially the third verse.
Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to react to this. I appreciate all that you said. The first time I heard that song, it made me think. It brought back all I went through going to an inner city high school. Being labeled as racist even though I had done nothing but exist. I kept to myself, not because I didn't want to make friends, but because I wanted to focus on my education. I am happy to say that I made many friends along the way, from all walks of life and all skin colors. Again, thank you.
Great reaction and understanding Britt. Tom put out a video Whiteboy Before The Shoot, where he speaks to the participants and answers questions why he made the video, Nova can be seen sitting at a desk in the back taking notes. But as you can imagine Tom got a lot of hate for putting the video out 'Why is a straight white male in 2018 bitching'. He then responded with 'This House', which is in my Top 5 from Tom. #HOG UK here for it
That's how it feels. Imagine being basically a good, a caring person and having people tell you that you are the *abuser* and there's nothing you can say to get them to realize that's *not* you? It's an insult. But I don't think it occurs to many people how hurtful it is to be looked at like you're the abuser simply because of the body you were born into.
Cant wait to see your reaction to This house, the response to whiteboy. After having grown up in Germany and understanding certain historical events, that gave me a certain interest in people stories. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
I think most people in Europe know more about what a "real" nazi is. When i hear lefty's use that word i chuckle, they never been in another country let alone in Europe. For them it's a word they call people they disagree with.
This is my first time coming across your channel and I just have to say "Go have the day you deserve" is such a raw and wonderful sentence I'm surprised I haven't heard it before now. I have so much respect for you after watching this and I hope the UA-cam algorithm blesses me with more of your content
I am a 52 yr old bald white male, covered in tattoos living in Twin Falls Idaho, I truly believe you treat people how you want to be treated... on that people look at me, not knowing me at all and I have been labeled so many times... even if it is by a look of disgust or verbal its there and it sucks... MLL&R stay strong
When I was in high school in 1993 my senior year I had braids in my hair with beads. The school I attended was majority black because before segregation it was an all-black school. No one was bothered by my hair that I know of. I never knew anything about racism in those days. There was no such thing as Cultural Appropriation. My Puerto Rican best friend is the one who braided my hair. I have no clue how things got to this point but I wish it was different. I was not trying to be another race I simply thought it would be cool to braid my hair. Also, I went to the Bahamas that year, and as soon as I got on to the Ilsand the women wanted to braid my hair for money. It didn't mean anything. We like what we like. Just wanted to share my experience.
People seen a opportunity to divide and conquer people by splitting every one into groups that's how things ended up like this, the people who benefit the most out of it are the ones who are the problem.
Graduated in the 2000's and I cannot think of one time any racism occurred from k-12. I got called a fatty and witnessed two girls going at eachother but thag was it in the negative department. My very first best friend in K was half white/half black named Marrisa and i cried when she moved. I think about her from time to time and wonder if she does me too. I'm white I had White friends, Black friends, Mexican friends and there were only a few Asians but never spoke as we didnt sit close. The 2 people from High School i can never forget was a girl named CeCe and a girl named Viviana. One African American, one Mexican. The most down to earth, loving, funny, make school worth it type of girls. I can still hear CeCe yelling down the halls, "yo softball!!!" Because I played varsity softball and she was my hype chick lol. Laughed so much with her. I didn't think twice about their color I loved them for who they where as people. I honestly believe it was the news pushing the narratives and this mess happened. We all got along as we should have. No reason not too as if your a good human being, your a freaking good human being. I'm not good because I'm white, I'm not bad because I'm white. I'm good because I'm not an a**hole to people. I have empathy. I help where I can. The consistent narratives being pushed on television divided alot of people. I remember thinking at one time, "why is it always a black person being arrested, caught with something illegal, etc" on tv? Now its white this, white that. Really sad and makes you think whats really going on...
It’s all good , wear what you want , hair , clothes etc. look at all the blondes lol that should do it for you. Enjoy life and don’t change to conform to any race
Tom moved here from Canada and this song was inspired by his neighbor. Tom asked had a conversation about racism in America and the neighbor told him something along the lines of if you see a snake and don't know if it is poisonous it is best to avoid it. Tom posted a video talking about it forever ago. What I love about Tom is his unique perspectives being from another country and another walk of life.
I’ve probably watched 100 people break down this and you are the first one that picked up on things in the video. Thanks for teaching me something new.
Love your view and commentary on this video. I can tell you that all the white men that I work with all feel this. Feel like we are targeted and singled out. It’s a challenge that I accept to walk the narrow path and stand strong and keep my eyes in the Lord. Love you all!
When I was just getting to know Tom... omg he use to get incredible amounts of hate. I still am amazed at just how incredibly well he has handled it every step of the way. He just keeps winning!!! This House
I'm a white woman with black marriages on my mother's side of the family I love Tom's music it speaks the truth it brings out who really is the racist don't hate us hate the power at be let's change the world together
I really appreciated what you said about people seeing the title and not listening to it and they wrote him off. But, what I've seen that's worst is the people that reacted to this song and still wrote him off. Almost like they refuse to give up their thoughts regardless of what he said. And that's sad. Really loved the reaction, Britt! #HOG❤️
Britt- Of all the many reactors I watch, without a doubt you are the most insightful when it comes to breaking down and actually understanding the lyrics to a song.
I'm a 53 year old white guy, I work in construction and meet people in other trades of many races and cultures.... we can always have good, open conversations with respect for each other. I think that's what Tom wants.
I can't even tell you how this video react made me feel. I'm in tears right now remembering how my ex and her family treated my family. The judgement and , no pun intended, skin deep reactions they made about us. I have a little girl who'll be 5 soon and I don't even know her because the hate and judgement run so deep. I needed to see this. I was going to give up the fight, but now I know I need to fight to at least try and bring some clarity for them later in life.
Yes! Don't ever give up the fight for love and acceptance! We ALL deserve at least that! I pray you get to be in your daughter's life. She needs you and you need her. Your words made me cry. People really need to wake up and realize that we are being pawns in a game that the higher powers are playing and it's sad and wrong. ❤
The symbolism in all of his videos is brilliant. Tom is a phenomenal rapper, but Nova Rockefeller is probably the most underrated visual artisit I have ever seen.
I suffered racism as a white boy ppl need to educate themselves I hated them for hating me no one regardless of color stands right we've all been wrong slavery started in Egypt get real
Oh, I wish that I had watched your Tom reactions as they were posted! I love to see people discover him. I don't ALWAYS agree with everything that he says but he ALWAYS makes me THINK. He is a conversation starter, for sure. And the man has B**LS of steel to say the things that he says. I think we can officially welcome you to the Hang Over Gang! ❤ You will find that we are some of the most devoted fans in all of music. Get ready for your channel to Blow UP! #HOGforlife
I haven't heard all of Tom's music yet but what I have heard his message is pretty universal. He is trying to get everyone to realize that the govt is trying to keep these issues as hot issues so we continue to fight each other. Its easier for them to fight and take whatever they want from a bunch of small groups that are busy fighting amongst themselves than 1 unified group. Divided they conquer! Stand up stand together and take back the power. Keep up the good fight Tom.
When he made this video, none of the other people at their desks, knew this was a music video, but he didn’t tell them what type or having ever heard this song. Their reactions are real.
You earned a sub from this reaction! ❤ I thoroughly enjoyed your breakdown of the lyrics. The mere fact that you gave it a chance, using your own intellect, and not just spew regurgitated nonsense, speaks volumes. 🙏🙏🙏❤✌🏻
Loving your reactions here! Your voice in this video is one of those that needs to be heard! ❤️ please do Castles soon, speaks to the everyday experiences we all have, not the elites preaching. (That isn’t hating on elites btw, just different perspectives) Thank you for being a voice. ❤
That man portraying the teacher, he is amazing with his facial features showing us he is hurt, and saddened. Made a true believer out of me that this song has touched him and me.
Enjoy watching your reactions. Glad you found the artist Tom Macdonald. If you enjoy rap with a message and want to hear a great rap artist then checkout NF-clouds NF- lost NF- outcast
So glad I found you on here!! ❤ I loved this video and we all down here love Tom! Have been following him for a while. He's the voice thats needed most right now. Sadly, he's often misunderstood.
As a 41 year old white man who was raised that we are all equal regardless. This song is more than accurate. Never have I or will I ever make any person feel less than me. Black, white, brown, yellow we all get up drag our asses to work. Come home kiss our wife and kids. What I saying is we all have the same morals, and family values. So how are we different? I'm white you black. Ok so fucking what. I'd still go to war and stand by your side and give my life to keep our families free. I would still call you brother with my last breath. Most all white people I know feel the same way. I've actually experienced more racism from black people toward whites than whites toward black. Truthfuly I don't really care. What bothers me is when black people go out of their way to try and make everything into "it's because I'm black......". No, it's because you made it into that. Maybe I'm wrong with this statement. if you are the one always making things about race, wouldn't that make you the racist? Just a thought. The sooner we raise our children to love all colors and not teach them to be afraid of and dislike all things white (Chris rock). The sooner people will quit trying to be oppressed and live in harmony together. Fuck black side of town, fuck white side of town. Just be a God damn town
I am 53 year old white man, God fearing, sober 13+ years, Desert Storm veteran. I WISH and pray we could all just be as open minded, patient and understanding as you are here and Tom is in his song. In our darkest hours can rise great things. Love your very open mind and soul.
Disclaimer also and hopefully bring some smiles to all.....I actually cried intense tears of happiness listening to you speak about his message and words. We all were born into love, we just need to remember again how we loved as children, with zero judgment.
I am a white man. I love Tom's music. He speaks the truth about everything that is going on in the world today. I lost friends of color these past couple of years because I posted a Rebel Flag on my social media page, with the caption "Heritage, NOT Hate" and some of my closest friends of color lost their minds, labeled me as a racist, and unfriendly me. I told them to relearn their history. I have known these friends my whole life and they had the audacity to call me racist. My best friend is from Detroit and a man of color. He was one of the friends who unfriended me. He came back into my life because he missed me. He and I talk daily, just like we did before. The powers that be are promoting division. There is a way to regain control and it almost happened on January 6, 2020. I am not going to get into a political discussion on here. Tom's music is mostly about politics. The problem is this....society wants to blame everything on Democrats or Republicans...the truth is political parties DO NOT MATTER anymore. I will leave it at that.
I am a Koger from Tennessee Hills my kin NEVER OWNED A SLAVE They come over on the boats and experienced hardship and built a honest future and here I am. Without judgement or hate for my neighbors.
He made a great point and you caught it. He was saying that we need to watch out for the people at the top. I totally agree with that. They want us to focus on issues like that while they they do their dealings.
As a 'white boy' (grown middle-age male now) raised in Brooklyn NY. Having friends of every race, color & creed. There were times when I felt this way. Not many times really, but a few. I went to a rally at a Manhattan college & I was called out by someone in the audience saying What the hell is he doing here? The speaker, said from the podium. He's allowed to be here if he has the same concerns or questions that we do. He is welcome to be here. Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Personally, I enjoy seeing a black person react to Tom. What Tom spits in this song and others is exactly how I feel. We’re being made to feel like white people are out here hating others and that’s the farthest thing from the truth. We all have our own experiences. Mine is THAT I have a black stepdad and he is the BEST person I know. And as a white person, I’ve experience what they call “reverse racism” more than I’ve ever seen “regular racism” but that’s ok because I understand where it’s coming from and my reaction is just to be more friendly, more kind, more loving……It’s the only way we win the humanity game.
LOVE TOM!!! AMEN!!!! SAY IT LOUD TOM!!!! WE ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND STOP FIGHTING ABOUT OUR SKIN!!!! WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO WORRY ABOUT IN THIS WORLD THEN OUR SKIN.😔
As much as I could connect with this video when I first saw it, now I'm really connecting with you and your take on it and I really love it!!! We need more beautiful people that appreciate beautiful people 💖
The way you are analyzing these videos and breaking them down is great like the desks spot is so amazing. It's awesome to see someone do what you do. You have a beautiful mind.
I spent 20 years in a uniform. I was deployed countless times. I have PTSD but I was fortunate alot of my brothers and sisters aren't as fortunate.I help them as much as I can
Really enjoyed the video, thank you. As a great grandmother, one of my biggest wishes is for this country to be united. Traveling cross country, the people you meet are as kind and friendly as one can hope for.
You got me! I almost went past. I'm tired of everytime I open my mouth on Social Media I get called a racist, funny usually by a guilty white person too.😮 Because I'm conservative. Yet I'm glad I was hanging clothes with my headphones on and phone in another room. I'm glad I listened to the song and your reaction. I'm 60 years old I remember the 60s. I grew up around alot of kids of all skin color. My Dad was a coach and had lots of African American boys on his team. I heard one call another kid the N word. My Dad lost it. He told him not on my field. What you do at home is your business, on my field we are a team. When you get hurt on my field you bleed red. Don't you son? He said, Yes Sir coach. He said that was the only color that mattered. That was an ignorant word. My Dad was awesome and a great coach. This was football by the way. I didn't even know what racism was until my Dad explained it to me. I was devestated! You can't help the color of your skin. That was stupid and sad to me. Still is. I have two mixed grandkids that are black and 2 Japanese. Im so proud of all 10 of my grandkids. So racist? No! Never! It was refreshing to hear your words. Sometimes all we hear is the ignorance of some people. I loved your reaction. The song was pretty good too. Ok rant over, lol! Goodnight!
Britt, im new to your channel. Ijust happened across your video of you listening to GOD MODE... let me just say that Tom is awsome in his self made freedom of expression but you, you take the cake by "LISTENING" to this Brilliant man and "HEARING" him... bringing other " not so enlightened " ppl an understanding of this Mans msg... Britt, you rock and you just got a new sub... " MUCH RESPECT! "......
Best reactor out there 100%. She picks up on the symbolism in the videos and not just the words. You can tell by her dialogue that she is intelligent and intellectually gifted.
The more I listen to Tom's music the more I wanna listen. At first it was a novelty but now after I hear it he is a more American than most Americans. Keep going Tom and Adam
You weren't born to hate or be racist it is taught. As a child I played with my friends and never saw them as different nor did they. We are still friends to this day. Peace and God loves all
It symbolizes that they left him alone with all of their desks basically thrown at him 😮 and they abandon him and didn't want to hear him speak out HIS truth.😢
So I am a "white" woman and one day I was eating with a friend at potluck after our church service at the church I attend. I started telling my friend about the fact that I had not understood the social rules in a New Orleans black neighborhood when I went to visit some relatives who live in the city there. I am from the Seattle area and I didn't realize that the culture and history is so very different in New Orleans than what I am used to. While in a black neighborhood in New Orleans I stopped at a local McDonalds to get some French Fries for my kids (ages 3 and 4) who were "starving!" We walked into the McDonalds and waited in line to get our order. Seattle is very multicultural and everyone talks to everyone else. In many areas of Seattle, Caucasians are the minority and nobody thinks anything about what ethnicity you are. But in McDonalds in New Orleans as my kids were running in circles around me trying their best to wait for French Fries, all of the people turned their backs toward me and my kids to show (evidently) their dislike of "white" people. It was very obvious and then I suddenly noticed there were no white people in the restaurant. I hadn't noticed or cared until that moment. So eventually we left with our French Fries and my kids stopped reminding me how hungry they were. I was telling my friend at church about this experience and told her "I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to talk to black people down in New Orleans when I went on vacation there. I wasn't angry about the experience. I just had finally understood that I was stepping into a long history of racial tension that I hadn't been aware of. My friend at church then said "Maybe it's because you have never had anything like that (racism) happen to you!" She went on to explain that I as a white person had not had the racial injustice that these people had experienced in their lifetimes. My friend Meili is Chinese-American and as a young child in school had been teased because she was the only Asian-American in her entire school in the Midwest growing up. I understood what she said, but then I said to her "Every time there is some Nazi group that paints a swastika on the side of a building in Seattle, or attacks a Jewish family or shop owner (yes it happens in Seattle too) I feel afraid and wonder sometimes if I should even use my Jewish last name when going to areas that are known to have white supremacists. The look on her face surprised me. My friend Meili looked shocked and just stared and stared at me for the longest time, as if seeing me for the first time. I guess she hadn't known I was Jewish. I have green eyes after all. But later I wondered, "What about me changed during my conversation with her?" Did my dark blond hair change, my skin color or eye color. I went from being a "perpetrator" and "racist" to a "victim" of racism. Nothing about me had changed physically. What a weird experience. This is why I agree with Tom McDonald's song. A lot of times light-skinned people are seen as "racist" but until you know that person you don't really know if it is true! You don't know where they come from, their ethnicity, family history. I am so relieved that most people of "color" give me the benefit of the doubt and don't think I am a racist or perpetrator of hate. And yea, I do represent a lot of the average "white" people you see in your town. Most don't like what our government has become, or support the people in power positions that seem to stir up racial strife.
Geez, it's his delivery. I graduated an all black school in Alabama, and I got maybe two comments the entire time. From the other students, anyway. "What are you DOING?" "DOING? I'm getting an education. TRY it." I'm from a mixed community as well, and people get angry about things, work it out, share food and child care and sometimes get fall in love. More exposure to each other blows more pre-existing beliefs. The people in actual power? Thats something else entirely.
I lived around Kansas City,worked and lived by blacks,and gotta say I was sick to f---ing death of being called milky,lots more sh-- every f--ing Day ...My best friend (black)she moved with me to a white town and still here.She married a white boy and she's been married a long time.We're sister's damit.
He totally speaks the truth! All of us are the same! We are all humans and thats it! We should all fight for unity, the only way we can do this is by actually unite and ignore those idiots that want to gain power and divide. I am a 34 year old white German man. People have called me a nazi because I am german numerous times.... I volunteer in several organizations that include everyone, that give away free food to everyone who needs it. But people call me nazi because I am a white german.
"You are white so that means you are racist." and "You are a man so you are sexist towards women." You don't know how many times I have heard this in my 49 years of life being a white man. Any of my thoughts or ideas are always dismissed because I am white and I am male. This song resonates with me because I also "refuse to feel ashamed because of my pretty blue eyes". I believe in equality for all races and for men and women. We are all human, isn't that enough?
I'm a white woman and have been called a racist because of my color in certain parts of the city I went to for work. I was even told by a little old African American lady to be out of the neighborhood before dark or I would hurt bad.
@OldWeeb and anytime you try to voice the fact that you aren’t “racist” or “sexist” people just use the denial as a way to say you are those things or you wouldn’t defend yourself so strongly against the allegations. At least that’s what I am told.
yup, all white people are racists, and black people cant be racist... seems to be a very common belief now
First time listening to you, great vision you have.
Equality....not equity.
“It’s the Rockefeller’s, Rothchild’s, Bush’s, and Royal’s”!!! Nailed it!!! The powers that be
Ive watched multiple reqctions to Tom's music. He will go down in history as one of the loudest voices for unity in this day and time. His music is a call to spark connections between the races.
for "unity" lmfao. it's the exact opposite.
@@seffer9772 opposite? How so?
@Laura Denton He promotes the ignorance of racism, bigotry and homophobia.

Tom's music is such a loud voice of so many things that the majority of us try to say but get shut down and censored. We have to stop fighting with each other and realize who's responsible for the division and why they want it!
This is the song that got things rolling for Tom. At the time of this song. He was living in South Central L.A. and he was friends with his neighbors. Some of them are in the video. If you didn't know. His girlfriend and him are the ones doing everything. He is completely independent. No manager or record label. They build their sets for the videos and shoot it themselves. Simple remarkable and so much respect.
His Mom and Dad helped with this songs video, too. He just got 2 number 1 in the charts for his latest song!
Yes, you absolutely have to be independent to keep the message you want to empart and integrity of the art itself pure. One of my cousins was a country musician back in the 80s. He was approached by a record lable but they wanted him to change some of the words to something sexual. He refused, so didn't get hired. I've always felt proud of him for that. The music "industry" uses music to shape (manipulate) culture. Same thing with acting. Anything "popular" (because the powers that be decide what will be popular and have the means to make that happen) has that element to it.
But now, through the internet, we also have truly independent musicians who become popular because the people themselves are making that happen. I just hope that they don't eventually get censored like so many ideas are.
@@donnaknudson7296they've tried to censor Tom so many times, and yet his songs just keep topping the charts. Perks of him and Nova having their own label so they can't be put out for their words. More and more musicians are being driven independent because they don't want to conform to what a label tells them they have to do.
You nailed it with that last bit, Brit. The fact that many people saw that title and screen grab and decided to write him off goes on to prove the point that he was trying to make. Society says we need to focus on our differences, but that is bull. We need to get to know each other, so we can focus on how we are the SAME. That is how you bring people together and create what we all want: CHANGE (for the better)!
So true. I’m tired of people judging me for being “white”. I’m a human that bleeds red. I have a heart to give love.
YES It's about love
whites are being turned into monsters as a precursor to the planned genocide.
Nah, see I'm a realist..This shit isn't going to stop, so I'm fully embracing white supremacy, they want the Boogeyman, give it to these animals.. You can worship at the alter of MLK, as these blacks harm your family and friends I won't..
Britt, baby girl, I'm happy for you that you haven't encountered any of the hate, as a 1/2 Native American/white woman, I can't say the same!!!! I have had people of color come up to me and called me everything but a child of God!! Hate will never take any of us anywhere except down the wrong road. We all need to remember the same God made all of us!!!! We need to embrace our differences, learn from one another, help one another, most of all LOVE one another....I feel Tom's pain....STOP listening to all the hate and come together as one people!!!! POWERFUL song, we can all learn from it!!! It's time to bridge the gap, Heal the wounds, and come together, stand together and live together as one!!!
I understand I’m half Apache . Get treated like poop . Yet I don’t hate people . Only time they get a hard reaction is if they threaten my family .
I am also half White and half Native American. I have been judged "White Racist" way too many damn times by Native Americans, Whies and Blacks. Our world has to come to the decision that we are all People of the Earth and forget about the pigments. When that day comes, we will be free.
I really love the that the system is being exposed as the problem and not the people!
You nailed it Britt! Most people feel the way you and I do, but we are being pitted against each other by "someone" in an attempt to control us.
Yeah the Democrats
@@TonyV5913
No… both parties have been infiltrated by the Global Shadow Government, which is where the terms “Uniparty” and “Rino” come from! It’s not one party, and it’s not even one country, but Global Infiltration and control.
My gf is black. We never even mentioned to each other that we were different until someone else pointed it out. That’s what makes me sad.
@@bradgphoto There shouldn’t be any problems with that and you shouldn’t have to deal with people pointing anything out
@@TonyV5913 Democrats? Or the Corporate/Ruling Class?

Watch the making of this video … and you can see how genuine this man is … he explains this song to the “classroom “ before they soot the video ….
Yeah but not the lyrics, that's how they got the real reactions on their faces.
Agreed, the pre / making of the video says so much about why he did this song and he went over it with the people in the 'classroom' and answered any questions they had before doing the video.
@@vanessarheadart9708 he played the song for them to hear before doing the video and answered any questions they had.
Britt, just found you here. I really loved hearing your perspective in realtime as you listened. I heard this for the first time a few days ago. Made me cry listening to it just now. He’s is speaking for many, even me, a 65 year old white woman. We let the politicians, the mega rich, and media inform us about each other and it’s got to stop. I was there in 1965. It was an emotional time, but made me proud to see it changed. I was there when a white woman pulled her child away because a black child too a drink. It enraged me. I went right over and took a drink and asked her, her name. I was 8 years old but I heard MLK speeches on tv, and Kennedy when he stood up against racism. And mourned both their losses. I am saddened to my core that we haven’t done better for each other lately. We don’t have to be like each other, or live each others cultures, all to be honored, to not appreciate our shared history as a nation that tried to change it. Still wants it better than the crap the media feeds us and tells us who we are. They don’t know me. And hopefully, they get to know you. You are beautiful and you have a voice and a platform. I don’t. But I’ll be landing on your page now too…sorry for the rant 😬
I love this song. It really says a lot for me. It is my humble opinion (which may or may not be a popular one), if you call racism on an entire group as a whole due to their skin color, YOU are truly the racist. I`m not ignorant to the fact that, yes, there are racist individuals in ALL groups, but to say that an entire group is racist is completely ignorant and frankly dangerous. Just my two cents.
Amen. Racism is an equal opportunity 'employer'.
Ironically it be the anti-racists who be the most racist
She deserves credit for taking this on.
That's how you end up in scary "other" territory. Which is how you repeat sht like genocides and racial cleansings.
As Tom said they (Rothschilds, Bush, Bidens, all in power) want every race to be viewed as a whole because removing the individual is their goal, individuals are bad, groups are good, but certain groups especially the ones where say individual liberty is often taught as a virtue (perhaps easier to teach to white people in the US if you look back at history to the founding of the US) then it helps achieve their goal, cut down the individual so those in power remain in power, people bicker with others just like us because we’re told we’re not supposed to like each other and those in power get away with so much and stay in power because instead of having an achievable goal of creating a better society we just look at removing or impacting certain groups so our group can do better
Thank you for not only listening to this song, but for actually hearing what he is saying
Its insane how someone from born in Canada gets it regarding the US more than those who were born & live here. Tom McDonald is 100% correct, mad skills, truth is truth. To truly hate someone you need to know them..
Well done Britt! Excellent breakdown…….you articulated Tom’s message perfectly IMO. Much love from Texas ✌️
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much!
His last name is MacDonald.. which is Irish.. the first slaves in the Caribbean were Irish.. Africans came 20 years later.. and there was forced breeding .. ask Shaquille O'Neal
After Tom dropped this song he got a lot of rude comments, death threats, and just pure hate for this song. I honestly don't know why though as a fellow white man when I heard this song I agreed with everything in it.
The response he made to those who acted such a way was with a song called This House, an absolute BANGER of a song
Thanks for your input . As a white man I grew up not seeing color or racism. Not until about 2010 did it start creeping back in I was born 1991. As I became a young man I realized quickly that I was considered a racist bigot based on my skin color which I have no control of which in its self is racist towards whites . And it’s only gotten worse and worse now there is more racism on both sides unlike I have never experienced until about 25-now . It’s very sad !!!
What I think is so great is the fact that soo many people are doing reaction videos to Tom's music and of all the reaction videos I have watched, everyone is on the same page. That to me proves that it "IS" the "SYSTEM" that wants everyone to fight so "IT" maintains control over us all. Love your video reaction! Nicely done.
Sadly Tic Tokk brings out all the “Sheeple” attitudes of people who bought into the Systems Gladiator arena! If they’d look up they’d possibly see the strings they ‘let’ “The big agenda/great reset/one world order” (call them what you want, what they are system builders - system of bs non existent issues turned issues at their evil hand) put on them out of wanting to stand up for ‘something’ -.-
Stand up for the real issues- the powers ‘that be’ turning you/us the WORLD but primarily America for our freedom of speech 🎤 into their prized sheeple. Stop before you are the masses that shove us ALL into the pen of ultimate control. It’s sheeple that are marching headfirst headlong into the end of all freedom. Before you can post your next video of oppression you will find you’ve been duped into the Ultimate Planned Opression- you CANT post anymore you’ve been censored and your character credit score just dropped!!! Better fix that right quick and like Star Treks “The Borg” you’ve been assimilated ~ you will think, act, behave, and follow the great of one mind assimilation that you willingly walked into and drug the rest of us with you as we go kicking and screaming and blaming YOU the sheeples for letting them control you years back leading to our demise. Damn. We tried to warn you, Tom was one of the ones standing out on the ledge and instead of listening to him you let him jump … or not? Decide to stop buying into “The Great Reset” mentality. We might have a chance. Canada has lost their chance Norway too. China lost it a long time ago. They as a people out number their government and military considerably they could revolt as a whole but they’ve been mentally beat down into the ground like the arcade game “whack-a-mole”. They have been assimilated. Russia is on the brink, best buds with China now. We are about to go all digital currency and that my friends is ultimate control over us. They can shut us down instantly with a click of the mouse. Assets frozen.
“You will own Nothing and you will never have been happier, you will have no privacy and you will love it…” it’s their own words unabashedly out loud they speak (Claus Schwab and His Great Reset - look it up, coming to another country near you and before you know it it’s found it’s way to your own, wait, a front door you live behind, not yours because YOU don’t own IT, they do!!!) OUT LOUD! It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s being proven by the goats own mouth. We the lambs are about to be sacrificed for the good of emergency environmental and climate issues - C40.org it’s bigger than a ‘thing’ it’s The New World Order and they think it will be world wide established by 2030!!!!
It will if we don’t stop them and we can’t stop them if we’re busy fighting each other instead of uniting and keeping BOTH eyes on THEM!
Who will win? In the end God!!! But we aren’t to,d to sit back complacently and let it go down while we wait for His return. We stand up for what’s right. Our country was founded on a covenant with God and the people on The Mayflower, Looking to escape the oppression of Europes leaders they prayed over their new found land and asked God to lead and guide them. Yes I know sin aka evil follows man kind where ever we flee and the precious Native American Indians fell to genocide because of it. But NOT everyone caused it or wanted it. Ultimate power ultimately corrupts in every new world, in every good intention, look back thru time and history starting with the Bible the greatest history book ever written and it’s Author is the creator of the world and the universe -GOD. His plan has been in tact since the beginning but we can make a move to disassemble evil as His children on HIS side not the side of the enemy’s enemies!
Please do your own homework, don’t take my or anyone else’s word for anything. Seek and ye shall find, don’t stop seeking truth until THE TRUTH is revealed to you. Ask for Him to show you His Light and He will, He Will!!!
Exactly. Divide and conquer.
And the news media is the mouthpiece of that system. This is where I believe our problems start.
Same. There have been 1 or 2 reactions I've seen where they didn't agree with what he was saying, but the majority of them... all in agreement.
Also, don't know if you ment to, but you mentioned The System, which is actually one of Tom's songs, and it says that very thing. Especially the third verse.
Thank you. Thank you for taking the time to react to this. I appreciate all that you said. The first time I heard that song, it made me think. It brought back all I went through going to an inner city high school. Being labeled as racist even though I had done nothing but exist. I kept to myself, not because I didn't want to make friends, but because I wanted to focus on my education. I am happy to say that I made many friends along the way, from all walks of life and all skin colors. Again, thank you.
Great reaction and understanding Britt. Tom put out a video Whiteboy Before The Shoot, where he speaks to the participants and answers questions why he made the video, Nova can be seen sitting at a desk in the back taking notes. But as you can imagine Tom got a lot of hate for putting the video out 'Why is a straight white male in 2018 bitching'. He then responded with 'This House', which is in my Top 5 from Tom. #HOG UK here for it
wow what great info! thanks for sharing!!
That's how it feels. Imagine being basically a good, a caring person and having people tell you that you are the *abuser* and there's nothing you can say to get them to realize that's *not* you? It's an insult. But I don't think it occurs to many people how hurtful it is to be looked at like you're the abuser simply because of the body you were born into.
Cant wait to see your reaction to This house, the response to whiteboy. After having grown up in Germany and understanding certain historical events, that gave me a certain interest in people stories. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.
I think most people in Europe know more about what a "real" nazi is. When i hear lefty's use that word i chuckle, they never been in another country let alone in Europe. For them it's a word they call people they disagree with.
Beautiful quote❤
This is my first time coming across your channel and I just have to say "Go have the day you deserve" is such a raw and wonderful sentence I'm surprised I haven't heard it before now. I have so much respect for you after watching this and I hope the UA-cam algorithm blesses me with more of your content
I am a 52 yr old bald white male, covered in tattoos living in Twin Falls Idaho, I truly believe you treat people how you want to be treated... on that people look at me, not knowing me at all and I have been labeled so many times... even if it is by a look of disgust or verbal its there and it sucks... MLL&R stay strong
Love Toms music, always dropping facts with a beat.
When I was in high school in 1993 my senior year I had braids in my hair with beads. The school I attended was majority black because before segregation it was an all-black school. No one was bothered by my hair that I know of. I never knew anything about racism in those days. There was no such thing as Cultural Appropriation. My Puerto Rican best friend is the one who braided my hair. I have no clue how things got to this point but I wish it was different. I was not trying to be another race I simply thought it would be cool to braid my hair. Also, I went to the Bahamas that year, and as soon as I got on to the Ilsand the women wanted to braid my hair for money. It didn't mean anything. We like what we like. Just wanted to share my experience.
People seen a opportunity to divide and conquer people by splitting every one into groups that's how things ended up like this, the people who benefit the most out of it are the ones who are the problem.
I went to the Bahamas in 1989 and had the same thing happen. 'hey pretty lady! Want me to braid your hair?'
Graduated in the 2000's and I cannot think of one time any racism occurred from k-12. I got called a fatty and witnessed two girls going at eachother but thag was it in the negative department. My very first best friend in K was half white/half black named Marrisa and i cried when she moved. I think about her from time to time and wonder if she does me too. I'm white I had White friends, Black friends, Mexican friends and there were only a few Asians but never spoke as we didnt sit close. The 2 people from High School i can never forget was a girl named CeCe and a girl named Viviana. One African American, one Mexican. The most down to earth, loving, funny, make school worth it type of girls. I can still hear CeCe yelling down the halls, "yo softball!!!" Because I played varsity softball and she was my hype chick lol. Laughed so much with her. I didn't think twice about their color I loved them for who they where as people. I honestly believe it was the news pushing the narratives and this mess happened. We all got along as we should have. No reason not too as if your a good human being, your a freaking good human being. I'm not good because I'm white, I'm not bad because I'm white. I'm good because I'm not an a**hole to people. I have empathy. I help where I can.
The consistent narratives being pushed on television divided alot of people. I remember thinking at one time, "why is it always a black person being arrested, caught with something illegal, etc" on tv? Now its white this, white that. Really sad and makes you think whats really going on...
It’s all good , wear what you want , hair , clothes etc. look at all the blondes lol that should do it for you. Enjoy life and don’t change to conform to any race
Braids are not a black thing, in scandinavia in the Viking era the white vikings had braids, and it mostly called dutch braids, 😊
This song is a must hear. Such a great message. Unity is the answer not division.
Tom moved here from Canada and this song was inspired by his neighbor. Tom asked had a conversation about racism in America and the neighbor told him something along the lines of if you see a snake and don't know if it is poisonous it is best to avoid it. Tom posted a video talking about it forever ago. What I love about Tom is his unique perspectives being from another country and another walk of life.
I love that you try to see all sides! #HOG ❤
I’ve probably watched 100 people break down this and you are the first one that picked up on things in the video. Thanks for teaching me something new.
Love your view and commentary on this video. I can tell you that all the white men that I work with all feel this. Feel like we are targeted and singled out. It’s a challenge that I accept to walk the narrow path and stand strong and keep my eyes in the Lord. Love you all!
I love your outlook Britt! If only more people thought like you, this world would be a better place ❤
started listening to Tom years ago he's saying things that most people want to say but can't...love him! Will keep listening at max volume!😊
When I was just getting to know Tom... omg he use to get incredible amounts of hate. I still am amazed at just how incredibly well he has handled it every step of the way. He just keeps winning!!!
This House
I'm a white woman with black marriages on my mother's side of the family I love Tom's music it speaks the truth it brings out who really is the racist don't hate us hate the power at be let's change the world together
I really appreciated what you said about people seeing the title and not listening to it and they wrote him off. But, what I've seen that's worst is the people that reacted to this song and still wrote him off. Almost like they refuse to give up their thoughts regardless of what he said. And that's sad. Really loved the reaction, Britt! #HOG❤️
I'm so glad you enjoyed the reaction! have the day you deserve!!
Wow what a cutie! Her smile her eyes her expressions and then you throw her intelligence on top of all of that WOW Lucky husband.
Britt- Of all the many reactors I watch, without a doubt you are the most insightful when it comes to breaking down and actually understanding the lyrics to a song.
I'm a 53 year old white guy, I work in construction and meet people in other trades of many races and cultures.... we can always have good, open conversations with respect for each other. I think that's what Tom wants.
you should check out the behind the scenes shoot of this vid. really elaborates on why he felt the need to make itm
I can't even tell you how this video react made me feel. I'm in tears right now remembering how my ex and her family treated my family. The judgement and , no pun intended, skin deep reactions they made about us. I have a little girl who'll be 5 soon and I don't even know her because the hate and judgement run so deep. I needed to see this. I was going to give up the fight, but now I know I need to fight to at least try and bring some clarity for them later in life.
Yes! Don't ever give up the fight for love and acceptance! We ALL deserve at least that! I pray you get to be in your daughter's life. She needs you and you need her. Your words made me cry. People really need to wake up and realize that we are being pawns in a game that the higher powers are playing and it's sad and wrong. ❤
The symbolism in all of his videos is brilliant. Tom is a phenomenal rapper, but Nova Rockefeller is probably the most underrated visual artisit I have ever seen.
Now do "this house!" It's his response to the backlash from this song!
I suffered racism as a white boy ppl need to educate themselves I hated them for hating me no one regardless of color stands right we've all been wrong slavery started in Egypt get real
Oh, I wish that I had watched your Tom reactions as they were posted! I love to see people discover him. I don't ALWAYS agree with everything that he says but he ALWAYS makes me THINK. He is a conversation starter, for sure. And the man has B**LS of steel to say the things that he says.
I think we can officially welcome you to the Hang Over Gang! ❤ You will find that we are some of the most devoted fans in all of music. Get ready for your channel to Blow UP!
#HOGforlife
I haven't heard all of Tom's music yet but what I have heard his message is pretty universal. He is trying to get everyone to realize that the govt is trying to keep these issues as hot issues so we continue to fight each other. Its easier for them to fight and take whatever they want from a bunch of small groups that are busy fighting amongst themselves than 1 unified group. Divided they conquer! Stand up stand together and take back the power. Keep up the good fight Tom.
finally been waiting for this one for a while. Awesome job
thank you so much!!
When he made this video, none of the other people at their desks, knew this was a music video, but he didn’t tell them what type or having ever heard this song. Their reactions are real.
You earned a sub from this reaction! ❤ I thoroughly enjoyed your breakdown of the lyrics. The mere fact that you gave it a chance, using your own intellect, and not just spew regurgitated nonsense, speaks volumes. 🙏🙏🙏❤✌🏻
Tom Macdonald is in the top of Billboard. Him and Nova achieve more as independent artists than any record label could even think of.
Loving your reactions here! Your voice in this video is one of those that needs to be heard! ❤️ please do Castles soon, speaks to the everyday experiences we all have, not the elites preaching. (That isn’t hating on elites btw, just different perspectives)
Thank you for being a voice. ❤
That man portraying the teacher, he is amazing with his facial features showing us he is hurt, and saddened. Made a true believer out of me that this song has touched him and me.
I remember like it was yesterday when this first came out. The outrage was insane. He's still spitting bars till this day!

So glad I found you on here!! ❤ I loved this video and we all down here love Tom! Have been following him for a while. He's the voice thats needed most right now. Sadly, he's often misunderstood.
As a 41 year old white man who was raised that we are all equal regardless. This song is more than accurate. Never have I or will I ever make any person feel less than me. Black, white, brown, yellow we all get up drag our asses to work. Come home kiss our wife and kids. What I saying is we all have the same morals, and family values. So how are we different? I'm white you black. Ok so fucking what. I'd still go to war and stand by your side and give my life to keep our families free. I would still call you brother with my last breath. Most all white people I know feel the same way. I've actually experienced more racism from black people toward whites than whites toward black. Truthfuly I don't really care. What bothers me is when black people go out of their way to try and make everything into "it's because I'm black......". No, it's because you made it into that. Maybe I'm wrong with this statement. if you are the one always making things about race, wouldn't that make you the racist? Just a thought. The sooner we raise our children to love all colors and not teach them to be afraid of and dislike all things white (Chris rock). The sooner people will quit trying to be oppressed and live in harmony together. Fuck black side of town, fuck white side of town. Just be a God damn town
I am 53 year old white man, God fearing, sober 13+ years, Desert Storm veteran. I WISH and pray we could all just be as open minded, patient and understanding as you are here and Tom is in his song. In our darkest hours can rise great things. Love your very open mind and soul.
Disclaimer also and hopefully bring some smiles to all.....I actually cried intense tears of happiness listening to you speak about his message and words. We all were born into love, we just need to remember again how we loved as children, with zero judgment.
I am a white man. I love Tom's music. He speaks the truth about everything that is going on in the world today. I lost friends of color these past couple of years because I posted a Rebel Flag on my social media page, with the caption "Heritage, NOT Hate" and some of my closest friends of color lost their minds, labeled me as a racist, and unfriendly me. I told them to relearn their history. I have known these friends my whole life and they had the audacity to call me racist. My best friend is from Detroit and a man of color. He was one of the friends who unfriended me. He came back into my life because he missed me. He and I talk daily, just like we did before. The powers that be are promoting division. There is a way to regain control and it almost happened on January 6, 2020. I am not going to get into a political discussion on here. Tom's music is mostly about politics. The problem is this....society wants to blame everything on Democrats or Republicans...the truth is political parties DO NOT MATTER anymore. I will leave it at that.
I am a Koger from Tennessee Hills my kin NEVER OWNED A SLAVE
They come over on the boats and experienced hardship and built a honest future and here I am. Without judgement or hate for my neighbors.
"Challenge our thinking and our way of life...." I admire you!
It's not about proving , it's about being accepted and treated with dignity
He is saying give me a chance, but his higher prayer is give YOURSELF a chance.
He made a great point and you caught it. He was saying that we need to watch out for the people at the top. I totally agree with that. They want us to focus on issues like that while they they do their dealings.
As a 'white boy' (grown middle-age male now) raised in Brooklyn NY. Having friends of every race, color & creed. There were times when I felt this way. Not many times really, but a few.
I went to a rally at a Manhattan college & I was called out by someone in the audience saying What the hell is he doing here? The speaker, said from the podium. He's allowed to be here if he has the same concerns or questions that we do. He is welcome to be here.

If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Personally, I enjoy seeing a black person react to Tom. What Tom spits in this song and others is exactly how I feel. We’re being made to feel like white people are out here hating others and that’s the farthest thing from the truth. We all have our own experiences. Mine is THAT I have a black stepdad and he is the BEST person I know. And as a white person, I’ve experience what they call “reverse racism” more than I’ve ever seen “regular racism” but that’s ok because I understand where it’s coming from and my reaction is just to be more friendly, more kind, more loving……It’s the only way we win the humanity game.
Thank you so much for sharing this and your voice as well. I appriciate your open input.
LOVE TOM!!! AMEN!!!! SAY IT LOUD TOM!!!! WE ALL NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND STOP FIGHTING ABOUT OUR SKIN!!!! WE HAVE SO MUCH MORE TO WORRY ABOUT IN THIS WORLD THEN OUR SKIN.😔
As much as I could connect with this video when I first saw it, now I'm really connecting with you and your take on it and I really love it!!! We need more beautiful people that appreciate beautiful people 💖
The way you are analyzing these videos and breaking them down is great like the desks spot is so amazing. It's awesome to see someone do what you do. You have a beautiful mind.
I spent 20 years in a uniform. I was deployed countless times. I have PTSD but I was fortunate alot of my brothers and sisters aren't as fortunate.I help them as much as I can
Really enjoyed the video, thank you.
As a great grandmother, one of my biggest wishes is for this country to be united.
Traveling cross country, the people you meet are as kind and friendly as one can hope for.
I love your honesty, openness and fairness.
United we stand, divided we fall. If we all teamed up, the system wouldn't stand a chance.
Yes preach baby!!!!!!! We are all equal!!!!
this is the song that introduced me to tom so long ago he is amazing HOG baby!!!
You got me! I almost went past. I'm tired of everytime I open my mouth on Social Media I get called a racist, funny usually by a guilty white person too.😮 Because I'm conservative. Yet I'm glad I was hanging clothes with my headphones on and phone in another room. I'm glad I listened to the song and your reaction. I'm 60 years old I remember the 60s. I grew up around alot of kids of all skin color. My Dad was a coach and had lots of African American boys on his team. I heard one call another kid the N word. My Dad lost it. He told him not on my field. What you do at home is your business, on my field we are a team. When you get hurt on my field you bleed red. Don't you son? He said, Yes Sir coach. He said that was the only color that mattered. That was an ignorant word. My Dad was awesome and a great coach. This was football by the way. I didn't even know what racism was until my Dad explained it to me. I was devestated! You can't help the color of your skin. That was stupid and sad to me. Still is. I have two mixed grandkids that are black and 2 Japanese. Im so proud of all 10 of my grandkids. So racist? No! Never! It was refreshing to hear your words. Sometimes all we hear is the ignorance of some people. I loved your reaction. The song was pretty good too. Ok rant over, lol! Goodnight!
Britt, im new to your channel. Ijust happened across your video of you listening to GOD MODE... let me just say that Tom is awsome in his self made freedom of expression but you, you take the cake by "LISTENING" to this Brilliant man and
"HEARING" him... bringing other
" not so enlightened " ppl an understanding of this Mans msg...
Britt, you rock and you just got a new sub...
" MUCH RESPECT! "......
The Media makes people think others are racist. Love one another! We all bleep the same color -One planet, one life, one time!
Best reactor out there 100%. She picks up on the symbolism in the videos and not just the words. You can tell by her dialogue that she is intelligent and intellectually gifted.
Tom is my guy! This song is the first I heard of his.
I love how open your mind is. It is rare in today's environment, especially from someone so young.
The more I listen to Tom's music the more I wanna listen. At first it was a novelty but now after I hear it he is a more American than most Americans. Keep going Tom and Adam
For anyone unaware, Tom's video is from Feb 9, 2018..
Brittany, your beauty goes way deeper than skin deep! Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate you
You weren't born to hate or be racist it is taught. As a child I played with my friends and never saw them as different nor did they. We are still friends to this day. Peace and God loves all
Your reaction showed that you are just as beautiful on the inside as you are on the outside. Thank you
There is a reason it is set in a class room. That is exactly what they are teaching kids in the UK aswell as the US
The people playing the student hadn't heard the words before the recording, their reaction is real.
One if the best reactions ive seen of this ❤️ looking through to see more, looking forward to it 😅 thanks britt ✌️

Young lady....your understanding of his lyrics is wow!! Love it!!!
It symbolizes that they left him alone with all of their desks basically thrown at him 😮 and they abandon him and didn't want to hear him speak out HIS truth.😢
So I am a "white" woman and one day I was eating with a friend at potluck after our church service at the church I attend. I started telling my friend about the fact that I had not understood the social rules in a New Orleans black neighborhood when I went to visit some relatives who live in the city there. I am from the Seattle area and I didn't realize that the culture and history is so very different in New Orleans than what I am used to. While in a black neighborhood in New Orleans I stopped at a local McDonalds to get some French Fries for my kids (ages 3 and 4) who were "starving!"
We walked into the McDonalds and waited in line to get our order. Seattle is very multicultural and everyone talks to everyone else. In many areas of Seattle, Caucasians are the minority and nobody thinks anything about what ethnicity you are. But in McDonalds in New Orleans as my kids were running in circles around me trying their best to wait for French Fries, all of the people turned their backs toward me and my kids to show (evidently) their dislike of "white" people. It was very obvious and then I suddenly noticed there were no white people in the restaurant. I hadn't noticed or cared until that moment. So eventually we left with our French Fries and my kids stopped reminding me how hungry they were. I was telling my friend at church about this experience and told her "I didn't realize I wasn't supposed to talk to black people down in New Orleans when I went on vacation there.
I wasn't angry about the experience. I just had finally understood that I was stepping into a long history of racial tension that I hadn't been aware of. My friend at church then said "Maybe it's because you have never had anything like that (racism) happen to you!" She went on to explain that I as a white person had not had the racial injustice that these people had experienced in their lifetimes. My friend Meili is Chinese-American and as a young child in school had been teased because she was the only Asian-American in her entire school in the Midwest growing up. I understood what she said, but then I said to her "Every time there is some Nazi group that paints a swastika on the side of a building in Seattle, or attacks a Jewish family or shop owner (yes it happens in Seattle too) I feel afraid and wonder sometimes if I should even use my Jewish last name when going to areas that are known to have white supremacists.
The look on her face surprised me. My friend Meili looked shocked and just stared and stared at me for the longest time, as if seeing me for the first time. I guess she hadn't known I was Jewish. I have green eyes after all. But later I wondered, "What about me changed during my conversation with her?" Did my dark blond hair change, my skin color or eye color. I went from being a "perpetrator" and "racist" to a "victim" of racism. Nothing about me had changed physically. What a weird experience. This is why I agree with Tom McDonald's song. A lot of times light-skinned people are seen as "racist" but until you know that person you don't really know if it is true! You don't know where they come from, their ethnicity, family history. I am so relieved that most people of "color" give me the benefit of the doubt and don't think I am a racist or perpetrator of hate. And yea, I do represent a lot of the average "white" people you see in your town. Most don't like what our government has become, or support the people in power positions that seem to stir up racial strife.
Geez, it's his delivery. I graduated an all black school in Alabama, and I got maybe two comments the entire time. From the other students, anyway. "What are you DOING?" "DOING? I'm getting an education. TRY it." I'm from a mixed community as well, and people get angry about things, work it out, share food and child care and sometimes get fall in love. More exposure to each other blows more pre-existing beliefs. The people in actual power? Thats something else entirely.
Wohhhh your an amazing host!!! Never heard logic like that. Pretty sure I'm in love 😂😂😂😂
This is my first time seeing you. Thank you for featuring Tom. Look into how he made this video it great. Love his music and love your reactions.
I lived around Kansas City,worked and lived by blacks,and gotta say I was sick to f---ing death of being called milky,lots more sh-- every f--ing Day ...My best friend (black)she moved with me to a white town and still here.She married a white boy and she's been married a long time.We're sister's damit.
He totally speaks the truth! All of us are the same! We are all humans and thats it! We should all fight for unity, the only way we can do this is by actually unite and ignore those idiots that want to gain power and divide.
I am a 34 year old white German man. People have called me a nazi because I am german numerous times....
I volunteer in several organizations that include everyone, that give away free food to everyone who needs it. But people call me nazi because I am a white german.
