“I’ve watched a number of these “black people react to...”videos.”
same here.
very strange
outside of hip-hop and rap they are truly clueless..
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.
That sample showed a lot of the more emotive reactors....some of them not shown are more constrained and analytical while admiring the vocal skills of the singers.
Don’t forget, they want subscribers which could make them some money....so their reactions may be hammed up a bit..most probably IMHO, they viewed the video first....got their reaction, and replayed the reaction amped up.
Hopefully the reactors understand that skin color alone doesn’t matter much at all. Plus , for most young’ns..ancient history is 25 years before they were born.
One of the main premises of reaction videos is that they are younger people, and they are reacting to songs and artists they’ve never heard. I think they’re fun. It’s very interesting to note how many things they sing about in the older songs are things nobody does anymore, and that causes some good reactions. Though it is quite a stretch to ask if He Stopped Loving Her Today is a Christmas song because they put a wreath on his door. I saw a video of a guy (a white guy!) reacting to Tom T. Hall’s Ballad of 40 Dollars, it was absolutely hilarious. The guy just totally lost it, put his head down on the table and laughed so hard. Every time he would try again to talk, he’d just start laughing again. He did finally comment about all those details just to set up the final punch line. Still, though, nothing will ever top MRM’s TWO white dudes for the Righteous Brothers.
