Basically what Rihanna said: if u wanna have black friends and enjoy black culture, u gotta join us in fighting racism and systems that discriminate against us.
Ebonee Scott matters now more than ever. i smell a revolution coming
mambou ja well that’s just a bit racist, don’t you think?
Your actually stupid if you listen to her message maybe you would understandand it is people with your mindset that taint this world because how you can say it shouldnt anyone else problem it problem for the world we are all equal so you are just stupid
@@davidmargulies4735 that's offensive and racist we don't have to be to be the same colour to fight for equality that's disgusting of you to say clearly you don't believe in human rights point blank ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏻🖤 go black excellence 👑👑👑
Colombe Gbopo huh? i think you have me mixed up with the other guy. im all in to start the change that we need in this country. it’s past overdue, and i’m tired of seeing my black brothers and sisters killed in the streets for no reason other then their skin tone. by whatever means necessary
Rihanna intelligence is underrated , she’s more than a musician, what a role model
Yeah she’s barely a musician 😆 she’s doing so much other important things
THANK you!
Nah everybody been knew that’s why she wins so many awards people love to see and hear her speak. And the people that used to dislike her had grown to love her because she is smart, humble, and wise. Just say that YOU didn’t know she was intelligent. THere’s nothing underrated about her.
She wasn't like that. She become like that now.
What issues black ppl have?
Yall have everything
Rihanna for me is the woman more beutiful of the world
"Well they like you? It's their problem too" - Rihanna, 2020
@Ra no she means show up and join the protests to help fix inequality
Ra You’re loud and wrong. I mean come on, it’s not hard to understand in this CONTEXT what she means. (Pull up) show up and support. Smh there was not one drop of hatred in this speech. People like you are quick to lie.
@Ra Uh, ok troll🙄
Blacks are not like us.
this is exactly what being influential means. not promoting vitamin hair every other day
And appetite suppressant! The nerve of some.
facts
I couldn't agree more. 👍 😉
facts!
Lmao
A very sensitive issue delivered with a laid-back tone in a calm manner.
Rite...like a seasoned BOSS. LUV IT
I agree. There was no spite or anger or hatred. Just a genuine concern for the cause which is very honorable put in terms that are treated very carefully. She put effort into her speech. she is in fact 110% correct, gotta love her and the cause❤
She gangster
That's the west Indian come out. Tell Dem Fi Haul and Pull Up.
Sensitive matter for sensitive people! Yup!
I love it because she actually means everything she said!
EXACTLY!

JUST THESE WORDS ARE SO POWERFUL AND YET SO MISUNDERSTOOD!!
EXACTLY!!!!!
To Jo Freeman
The jealousy or killings of one another is just a form of self hate, we don't love ourselves.
What black people can do together, everyone else don't care about us. This is a world issue of hate for black people.
All race need 2 come together
@@cheyannehelms7669 your the prime example of what's wrong with black people. We fight for everyone else's rights but no body fights for ours. Where are these people when we are getting busted on the side of our heads. You know what I bet your more than likely a immigrate black. You family didn't come to this nation until 70 or 80s.
Since she became a business woman, she became smarter and educated through her journeys
She always has high intelligent.
She always was that Smart !
As human beings we have the capacity to become wiser everyday. That's one of the blessings of time and life.
She was always highly educated fool. You know nothing of what you speak.
She’s always been highly intelligent, that’s HOW and WHY she became a successful business woman. Success doesn’t come before brains lol.
She said “tell your friends to pull up” like she’s about to swing loool
😂right?!
Pull as in show up and support , it’s always majority of black ppl in protest about black ppl, other racist talk about supporting but when it boils down to marching none of them other ppl of color are no where to be found , she said pulll up ( in other terms ) Show up , When a black person says pull up, it doesn’t always mean imma fight you
wida wida Exactly!!!
@Genevieve blow that bullshit out of YOUR delusional mind!!!
Your kind only care about black people when you need us as a number for YOUR movement!!
We are already supreme and you sound jealous!! The sleeping giant is awakening
EXACTLY!!!!!
She said this with power, pose and honor, without disrespecting anyone. Thank you Rihanna.
Yet the premise was stupid, doesn’t matter how great you say something with a stupid premise. Do you think it makes sense for a rich black woman to tell other races to pull up… When we got enough rich black folk to so-called pull up themselves… Or better yet we could pull up our own selves stop asking for handouts damn.
Tony Blackstar she’s talking to EVERYONE though. I don’t understand why is her speech a issue? You either pull up or SHUT UP. You sir ma’am/ can Shut thee hell up. Why y’all always gotta find an issue with something. Goddamn y’all annoying. An no matter what, we will need allies. We cant do it alone. If that were the case we would’ve accomplished that already. And yes i know it starts with us.
@@_Chev Well said, correct 100%
So well spoken. I remember a time when people wouldn’t take my girl serious. Now look at her helping our people and encouraging unity 👍🏾 Congratulations Rihanna!!!!
Just DC I remember when that accent was SKRONG!!! Lol
Yes,yes,yes. I knew she was special,she went from A ONE HIT WONDER,to the JAY Z SIDE CHICK to FAKING BEING ABUSED BY CHRIS BROWN TO the ALWAYS TO NUDE, to the HAVING SHAGGY AUDITION,to Going after middle Eastern men to GET RICH--- And CRUSHED all those HATERS-- she has no album out and yet her name is still ringing bells, she's flourishing and she has no man behind her who's in the driver seat, AN I AM DAMN PROUD OF HER!!!!! MII BADGAL RIRI
@@alphacharm An it was SUXCYYYYYYY LOL
@@samorachannel2093 how did she get rich from that middle eastern man??🤔 And wouldn't she have married him if that was the case?
PurpleLipsowat PurpleLipsowat she was talking about all the things people “claimed” about her through the years.
“they like you? Well this is their problem too” no cap.
RiRi went in..Well tell your friends to pull up👏
@yasin hossenbaccus What are you confused about?
@yasin hossenbaccus I think she means ask your friends to get involved , pull up , stand up
@Jo Freeman yes, the homeless problem has gotten really bad in America I would love to see changes for the better.there are alot of millionaires that need to get together, the government is tapped & isn't helping much.think of the help mike Bloomberg could have done to help the homeless problem instead of wasting 400million dollars on ads for votes for a job he is not even prepared for.we live in a crazy world these days
Charlene A. Hood sometimes people don’t understand certain terminology as it’s not in their vocabulary... Yasin’s question was quite clear and if your goal is for everyone to stand together then you’ve got to be open minded to explain a couple things here and there and try not to be defensive/annoyed if someone is reaching out for information, because by you questioning someone’s curiosity it comes across that way even though that might not be your intention.
@yasin hossenbaccus Ask them to come along to the protests, to be a voice too, to play a part in the solution etc
We need someone to run for president with the motto: “Your problem is my problem”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
We are One✨
Exactly
that's Bernie! "The pain that one person feels. If we have children who are hungry in America, if we have elderly people who cant afford their prescription drugs, you know what? That impacts you. That impacts me. We are all in this together"
@Bryan S You sound like a 2nd grader
I’ve gained more respect for Rihanna in this 3 min clip than it’s taken an entire lifetime for ppl that I know.
Same feeling when I saw this LIVE.
Same
Am I the only one who heard someone said “ PERIOD “ at 1:30 😭
I was literally going thru the comments to see if someone else noticed 💀💀
lmaoo I heard it too
No honey, that was the church & they also said AMEN ! 🙌🏽
No.
They really did
that speech was hard... hard hard HARD!!! talk to em Ri Ri
So hard (jeezy voice)
Direct! No confusion....
“Harder than that” 👍🏾
Crazy to think she's been in the game for 15 years, and she's just getting started. Well deserved. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👊👊👊👊👊👊
Right, it feels like it only been 5 yrs. But i remember her coming out like yesterday. She truly has grown as an artist and women that's amazing.
And yet she still here begging white people to come save her lol
@@bnwo she's not saying that... But if we are that cool and that close and breaking bread together like family, my issues are your issues easily. You care about me, then you should care about what I am standing for and against.
Simple.
N.W.A. No she’s not you idiot. She’s done more for Black people than you could EVER accomplish. Quit hating
N.W.A. Yup
“If they’re your friends, then this is their problem too.” -Rihanna 💯

She’s a Bajan!
I really respect and admire this woman. She’s a trailblazer.
She certainly is!🔥
What trails did she blaze? Honest question I domt know much about here besides music and makeup I think?
You admire the Devils industry. Do your research baby.
Lol..yeah ok
What trail did she blaze?
Shes right u guys who are wealthy have friends & collegues of different races who wanna break bread with you... Tell them pull up 💯
That was some real shit ...next protest I wanna see all y'all rich asses out there with your rich ass friends....
We will have to hold them accountable and break bread with the ones who pulled up along time ago that stayed and never left but when our race make it, we tend to feel as tho the trophy is with the other races not realizing we have all the jewels they want. I agree
💯
@Jo Freeman that's... That's not what she said
Period!!
QUEEN RiRi said tell your friends to "PULL UP" PERIODT 👏👏👏 forever the QUEEN 🙏👑👑
THANK YOU RI RI!!!
My edges, my emotions, motivation, and my love for Rihanna all just grew 10 fold. It’s so inspiring to see these celebrities we glorify to actually return the love and passion back to us. Such a role model
I hear you Sis. To whom much is given much is required. TELL THEM TO PULL UP.
This statement speaks volumes
"....Indeed, everyone to whom much was given, much will be demanded of him, and the one who was put in charge of much will have more than usual demanded of him" Luke 12:48

If they aint pulled up by now then thats proof they ain't ya friends.
@@xxWizDumbxx well im saying🤷
Such a breath of fresh air to finally hear her voice after she's been starving us for her album.
I mean she's honestly still been extremely active and out/about, just not with music.
fr any money she makes from the album will just be pocket change 😭
And 3 years later we continue to starve😂
I love the way Rihanna carries herself. She is so inspiring, talented, intelligent and a total boss lady. She is so strong. ❤
Wow man! She has really grown to be such an empowered, well-rounded and driven woman! I couldn’t be any more proud!
Yes, and I'm loving her growth...She has always been a rebel and she's not about being relevant, like that one thing who calls herself a Queen, but she is about truth and standing up to anyone or any situation that is wrong....I loved this about her.
We have watched this young woman grow into a phenomenal force. I'm so proud of her.
The “tell your friends to pull up “ got me goosebumps all over my body😭❤️
I'm not sure exactly what pull up means in the context of her speech. Would you mind explaining it to me? I know it is wisdom, I can feel it, I just want to fully appreciate her meaning here. Thx 👌
@@trintube68 Not to be rude, but he doesn’t have too explain anything.
Rihanna is so special; So beautiful inside & out; Megastar, yet so humble, grounded & compassionate regarding the inequalities of the world. I am so proud of & inspired by her. She has so much class, courage & confidence. She always speaks so candidly about the things that matter in today's climate. She deserves all of the success she's obtained.

@@Aritul there isn't any...

Please stop saying "strong black women" it perpetuates the masculinization of black women and ultimately leads to our lack of protection.

"WE CAN ONLY FIX THIS WORLD TOGETHER. WE CAN'T DO IT DIVIDED."
- Rihanna 2020. ♡
Rica Ford Eastwood. Fix AMERICA first,the world is complicated
BLACKS ONLY
Ummm people have been saying that for centuries. Rihanna did not come up with that idea
@@tvs9978 And that is an uncomfortable fact that's often overlooked... What can result from simply asking for unity? Nothing. Complete unity is required to fix the world, but unity is something the world has NEVER known.
Universal disunity is a problem that needs to be resolved, yes, but the solution is beyond human hands.
So what it’s been said before Rihanna have said it again sometimes things needs to be said again & again & again
Not jut talent & beauty...she has brains, strength, class & a sense of humanity!
she has it all inside out
Not really. She just realized this not too long ago.
One of the most influential people in America. May God continue to bless you not only for your talent but also for your kindness. Thanks again Riri. Show the world that hard work pays off. God bless!❤❤❤
@@KevinEdude boy shut up
Not talented
‘We can’t let the desensitivity seep in’..so true.. we gotta help other people ☺️💖💕
When you're loyal. Race doesn't matter pull up for all issues.
I can't tell
We seen that with me too. Black women were there. We are always there but no one pulls up for others. This is why she said that, otherwise it would have been what you said, which is true.
Race matters
@@royalbohemian9757 What's sad is black people that clout chase for white people when they say this. I expect some whites to need to be taught this. I believe this what RiRi addressing. Race shouldn't matter but it does if they not pulling up for your race issues. People be so butt hurt over racism can barely talk about it constantly want to ignore it to make everyone feel better. Grow up. This is America.

David Owen your still missing it, the problem persistently was the black man targeted from the past to now. When you continuously allow an issue to happen..it never dies down it grows stronger. Know the saying “evil begets evil” ? Evil came to kill, steal and destroy. Evil is actually setting back like yourself and admiring the problem. Some will never understand her words to “pull up” when they are so used to being embedded.😑

“Tell you friends to pull up.” HELD SO MUCH POWER. This woman😍
That is why “Rihanna received the Harvard Foundation award for Humanitarian of the Year in 2017”.... Biggest reason that a solution to man’s biggest problems may never be brought about man’s hand in change can be found at Jeremiah 10:23, 24

She didn’t need anything fancy to say. That’s why I love her. She just said it so everyone can understand.

@@sabrinmezari6619 Yes, we stole ‘European’ civilisation from them (the greatest civilisation on earth), we stole social values, religion, morals, political values, economics and aesthetic values.
You’re funny. Go and do your research. They hadn’t even invented the wheel in the 1900s, when us Europeans had the submarine, the train, wind turbine, the computer and telephone, amongst many other things that shapes your world today.
@@tm1rt2vv8i what is western culture known for…
@@ThePthinker what? Surely you already know this, you live in a world created by western civilisation? Shall I go all the way back to the genesis of western civilisation in ancient Greek and Roman culture, with people like Socrates, Homer, Caesar or the building of the Parthenon or Colosseum. Or perhaps you would rather I move slightly forwards in history to the renaissance where one comes across the works of Michelangelo and Shakespeare. No, maybe that is still too far for you. Let’s move forward to the enlightenment and the great scientific and industrial revolutions of the western heartland in Europe. Here we can see the creation of the modern world with the invention of the steam engine, moral evolution in the works of Dickens and Balzac, not to mention the political development of universal democracy and the rule of law. But we need not travel into the near past, we need only look to the modern age. In this age, western civilisation has created nuclear energy, the computer, jet engines and space travel. This is what western civilisation is; it is the light of humanity, it is the engine of modernity and progress. But yes, I guess African Americans did give us jazz and Kanye west, but its not quite the same, is it….
A sophisticated gangster🤣🤣🤣 “They your friends to so tell them to Pull Up” !!! my favorite part. What I took from that is people do a lot of talking but when it’s time to show up they are no where to be found.
Preach!!

Yeah kind of like Rihanna. Isn’t that ironic?
This woman pulled up for Asian Hate. See how she stood up for her words? She meant what she said.
Yeah after high school n college you realize who your real friends are when you tell them to pull up, when you have nothing. Who really shows up? Less than you can imagine.
Honestly, I don’t have a lot of nonblack friends because none of them have EVER pulled up. When by a rare chance they do, they automatically become my friend, my sister, my lifetime buddy. This speech hits deep for me.
Maria 😂😂😂😂right and have the nerve to say we go way back, like bish move from here.
Preach!!!
Pull up as in what exactly
Same. This speech made me reevaluate my friendships.
I have had NonBlack acquaintances and friends since childhood. (The two are very different for me.)
NonWhite/NonBlack friends were the better of the friends than White friends. To be honest this group is where I find my best NonCaribbean (when they were not Caribbean) friends.
As far as Whites go ...
Some of the friendships had depth and mutual respect and love. Others literally started to sound like the Klan and I avoided them. This started in JHS.
What I have noticed is that my Ashkenzi Jewish friends were the only White-identified friends that didnt contain racists. Yuck. The other White friends varied.
(The White Caribbeans I encountered are genuine. They differed from any other group of Whites I met and only NonCaribbean White Latinos were anywhere near half as genuine. NEVER do they ever made me or any other NonWhite Caribbean feel lower or inferior or try that racism mess. They know we are lile family.)

She's not even black..... 🤣
I remember when I saw Rihanna in London when she was 17 years old, on her own. She stood next to me, a normal girl about to perform in a small gathering. I wish I spoke to her, and somehow had a chance to stay in touch with her, (not because she’s gone on to become a global star) but because she blossomed into one the most admirable, beautiful women and soul. Her heart is the purest and most loving to humanity. She feels the pain of normal people. She’s kind and always uses her voice unlike many other celebrities.
Kept it short and sweet. To me that was a hood savy speech. But it was still powerful. When it comes to society today and how to fix it. Tell yo friend to pull up along with you or shut up. Loved riri!! She will forever be my crush. 🥰
LOVED her speech. Well composed, she spoke from her heart, no script and she put it out there. They want to break bread with you? Tell them to pull up. Well said. I could listen to this all day so powerful. I know she struck a few chords and I hope it resonated with all of whom want to be popular but not use their fame to help move the agenda of us all working together to make things better.
"Wan break bread, PULL UP". Chuuch!!
That "tell your friends to pull up" followed by that gaze
Js Rih, the appeal and aura is crazy
A house divided cannot stand. Let's do it together.!!
Correct. Now let's start by getting rid of the naacp.
I love how she talks about unity. It's not a "black people problem". It's a people problem! We all must be aware of the issues in the world that are still going on today and fight against them together!
THIS is why I'll ALWAYS love the BadGal RiRi 💕💕💕 Authenticity is required!
Can’t believe how dry the crowd was during her speech
@@onlyplayaseattacoswiththei9433 Damn, why is everything about race for you? And don't play dumb to it because I can see your latest comments.
Super stuffy
Jasmine Robinson think they were shocked?
Yolanda Kent shocked about what?
I don’t think they were being dry. They were trying to listen.
Got a feeling "pull up" is gonna be on a tshirt soon
Candice T wouldn't b surprised or trademarked
Cecelia Helms People been saying pull up for the longest.
Erik Killmonger of course they have,
u white?
I LOVE her! Some folks thought Boo wasn't going to show. Of course she did! And said A Word! 👏💜
Of course she did. Getting recognized from your own People is more and some. Tell dem fi pull up. 🙏❤️💯
Yvonne Burton the last line did sweet me
Loud and proud !!! I love this women. She’s been woke 👏🏻
I’m sooo proud and happy, as her fan, to see her growth for the past years. From that party pop star she used to be on the early stage of her career to a bolder, wiser woman that she is today. You can tell that she learned from her past mistakes and chose to grow and continue to excell on her craft. From being a pop star, it’s so fulfilling to see her a philanthropist and an ICON of our generation. One thing that didn’t change from her is her DEDICATION to strive even more. We’ll always love you Rihanna. As a fan, I can truly understand if you won’t release an album anytime soon. Just continue doing your priorities and be the best version of yourself always. Mahal kita!
I really love Rihanna for always being Rihanna! Wow. She’s an icon
Ecstatic Nature yeah like terrible music
Yeah, She's perfect😍
I had to watch this twice I didnt think I could like her more
Right
Rihanna addressed that room like she was talking to the man dem 🙌🏼🙌🏼💯🔥💪🏽
"We can't let the desensitivity sink in..."~ Rihanna
“They wanna break bread with you? Tell them to pull up!” (Not our problem)💯
Can you explain what does that Pull Up means? I'm confused, what does she want people to do?
Ashan Trisheild that means you have friends from different race, sex, religion who wants to be part of your accomplishment, progress and success yet won’t be part of your issues. If they can be part of what you bring in terms of assets (bread). They can definitely stand up (pull up) when there is problems such as poverty, discrimination and prejudice that affects you.
ton tin every rally, protest, riot , and war there are black folks there supporting even when it’s not their issue as a collective. The woman’s marchs, veterans marches, every war in America....please don’t say that.
ton tin no one said that stupid. Still Black people are treated the most unfairly around the world. Ironically there’s so many things about our culture and who we are that society loves to exploit. She’s saying to tell those folks to show up when it really matters. Not just to be our “friends.”
ton tin NO one is saying that blacks are the only race with issues.....but whites tend to turn a blinds eye when it comes to them! They will “break bread” with rich people of color but when it comes to OUR issues....they don’t like to talk about them,support,march or have a small discussion about them!
Rihanna makes everything cool. That’s her gift
Real talk.
She makes institutional racism cool? Wow wasn't aware
Khali 605 There are too many incels in this comment section to count, I swear!!! 🤦🏿♂️
And since you probably don't have a reading level above grade 3, I'll let you in on a little hint. The speech was extremely pretentious and selfish. Everyone should be treated equal, end of discussion.
@@khalismith6401 you play video games for a living HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Black ppl need to stand up for themselves that’s the problem lol we can’t keep pointing the finger a lot of our issues in the community is self inflicted..
You're a smart man.
At first if we lended a hand it was called "virtue signalling". Now if we don't help it's "guilt tripping". I just don't understand sometimes...
Right! This is the one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever seen & that’s just from reading the title...didn’t even watch & im black asf!
Just, healing and forgiveness was necessary...this generation almost there - next generation even better...
Exactly! But these elite scummy rich hollywood types are just pandering at this point. They do not actually care.
Damn Rhi Rhi somebody laced you with some history about being African! I felt your spirit
Lmaooo
The guy yelling "periodt" 💀
🤣🤣🤣😭
It's everyone's problem 🔥🔥🔥Tell your friiiiieends to PULL UP!! YAAAS Queeeeen ♥️
