   Just watched the b sides sequel and had to come back and watch this again. This was the first vid I saw of yours and ngl this like my 3rd time watching, and I'll prolly watch again in the future. As you know I troll all of y'all, but despite y'all occasional inconsistent leftist bullshit, I speak life ✊🏿💚💯

   Tay k’s situation and frankly his artistry deserve to be broken down on a deeper level. His music was this juxtaposition of using references to kids shows (jimmy neutron, avatar the last airbender) to describe killing someone. “Choppa turn him sideways rip him like some homework”. Whether intentional or unintentional his music made u reckon with the fact that he was both a killer and a 15 year old boy.

   I need to watch this. I don’t know about anyone else, but the grief is so intense. I always think of my little brothers and nephews. Stay safe out here my people ❤️✊🏾

   As a 56 year old Black man who grew up in Washington DC during the crack epidemic I can really appreciate this video. I grew up around young boys who became killers, drug dealers, drug addicts, scholars and those who had careers in various fields.
   My father wasn’t in my life but I had many male role models such as my grandfather, uncles and some teachers. My mom being a teacher exposed me to history and science. We would go to the museums in DC and I would get plenty of knowledge. I also lived right down the street from where I lived. I had friends that never went to museums or anywhere all they knew about was the neighborhood. Many of my friends were never hugged or shown any type of affection from their families and it showed.
   I’m grateful for my mom. Because of her teachings I’ve been able to stay out of trouble and live a life I’m proud of.

    The FD stuff has just been so disappointing, just it really feels like he's in a time capsule from pre-ctober 7th.

    Just how contrapoints feels like she's in a time capsule from 2016.

    The majority of Americans, including normies, have moved so far past tiptoeing around Jewish feelings. (in large part thanks to prominent Jewish anti-zionists being the loudest critics of Jewish exceptionalism)

    So for FD to still be stuck on that step feels surreal.
    There's been so much amazing content from Jewish and Palestinian creators alike talking about all of this stuff.
    Well researched content with thorough citations.

    Instead of engaging with those creators, he praises anyone who will criticize you or Bad Empanada, even if the video presents zero evidence and is just some rando blabbering on about vibes.

    It just sucks. I've been watching FD since he had like 200-300k subscribers. I didn't even realize how massive he's gotten until this stuff started happening. It just feels so intellectually lazy, his large influence is empowering a lot of people to totally dismiss any information that makes them uncomfortable as racist or bigoted in some way.

    Absolutely loved the video and really helped me understand my own experience also growing up in Brazil (though not necessarily in poverty as my family has done at least somehwat well for ourselves during most times, but still dealing with the violence and that constant feeling of danger)
    But that minute I highlighted doesn't sit right with me, first the unacknowledgement of the way black american culture reached us was not accidental but a product of american cultural imperialism reaching all over the globe, the way that reached us was through our television showing american shows, record stores loaded with american albums, cinemas in many instances showing showing nothing but american movies.
    Second the implication that only black americans are capable of creating culture, fashion, attitude. Yes, of course people all over the world have borrowed from black american language, but they have also created culture unique to their own living and experience. I don't like the implication that us in Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and etc are not also human beings capable of expressing our living through the things we CREATE. For example: hip hop, soul, funk, jazz, and blues have always been popular in here Brazil, but we don't only do those genres, there's also samba, choro, maxixe, forró, xaxado, ixejá, sertanejo, milonga, and many others which are products of our own creativity, history and experiences. And I'm sure the same exists in every country you showed on screen, denying that this exists is extremely disrespectful.

    9:10 im 17 years old and hearing you say it’s hard to even see his face is crazy because they post and tell stories about kids my age getting shot or caught up in the wrong situation all the time and as bad as it sounds you don’t really feel anything because of how often it happens now and how commodified we are in the media

    I think you missed the point of the Belly scene. It was originally meant to be a callback to One Love where he slid bro some jewelry to sell and possibly make some money to keep him out the way. Not to flaunt

    I'm afraid of dying too. I've been called an oreo when I was in school. People always told me glad I was black on the outside & white on the inside simply because of how I talked, acted, dressed, & because of the music I listened to. I always find it stupid that black people call other black people who are different & don't fit a stereotype of what a black person should be an oreo. O feel like that hinders the black community from coming together because by doing this we are othering each other. Instead of treating each other as equals.

    9:10. I feel the exact same way about Casey Anthony's daughter, she was my age and when learning about it in law class it was very triggering

    Not sure if I missed it but is there any interest on analyzing the tv sitcom Martin? I feel like an F.D analysis of its impact on the culture then and now would be fire
