It's not so much what you don't know that will make you look stupid, it's what you know that ain't so.

I’ve watched a number of these “black people react to...” videos. I am astounded how little these people know about popular culture, films, music, TV, etc. They are simply not integrated into the greater society.
LMAO. The one that starts at around the 6:50 mark is hilarious ā¦ āItās this dude coming on here lookinā like Jesus.ā
bump
Thatās how I feel about todayās society. Iām completely detached.
I told youtube in comments to stop recommending videos of black people, and what they think of Alanis Morrisette or Led Zeppelin making O faces.
I see comments from Mexico, and they know exactly who those bands and musicians are, and are huge fans for decades. My friends who were Panamanian when I visited there for as a teen played Hard Rock, constantly.
Just stop, already, YT.
Why would you be depressed by 70’s/80’s music ?? And it depends really on when the vids were taken. Of course it is going to be a different level of awareness with communications today than the ‘70’s.
these Americans live in another world..
“Iāve watched a number of these āblack people react to...āvideos.”
same here.
very strange
outside of hip-hop and rap they are truly clueless..
i admit i am the same.
Those grammy winners from the other night, best song, act etc..
i never heard of any of it.
I’d love to see the reactions of some of these people if white people were to say the exact same things that they were. It wouldn’t be a reaction, more of a hard ‘sperging.
Bet if they heard “Patches”, they’d think Clarence Carter was white.
“they didn’t know the bee gees was white”
...I always thought it was “be white”.
Thanks for the great laughs!
Goodness that song is ooooooooooolD!
Ok, now I’m depressed. I MISS the 70’s/80’s.
Great music, good times great hope for future.
The utter ignorance - intentional at that, considering one need only 1. Read movie musical credits, 2. Internet search on that tool in front of you - of those in the video exposes a vulnerability posed by our culture for which many Americans - Conservatives, too - remain in denial and continues to be exploited by the elites.
This surprises me not in the least.
During the Covid pandemic, I also was treated for Cancer and became addicted to the Game Show Network. Lots of Black families on that show who are very educated and impressive. However, I have noticed that many of the questions which require answers of notable people generate responses of black people only. Sometimes they ‘dance around’ the names and eventually are down to the third and last try to figure out the name of the person on the board. The name Michelle Obama comes up whenever a woman of any talent is required.
Yesterday I watched a rerun, and the question concerned someone in heaven who earned more than [”a large sum of money”- I cannot remember the number] during the year. It happened that three of the four correct answers were black entertainers - Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson and Prinz. The last name was still open and the last gal correctly named Elvis Presley, but they answered black names five times in a row before the name Elvis came up. I have noticed this mane times.
I think it is natural to first think of someone in your culture, but I do not see such patterns with the White or Asian families.
