'"A soul of a country on trial'"
You better believe it!
It will NOT be avoided. Or will it go away.
that was a roller coaster of emotion! great vid bro. The way you framed the oj case with chappelle made it such a nuanced take i haven’t heard before
thank you! Always means a lot!
Another great video. The way you cut together chappelle and OJ was brilliant. I think your point on civility being lost post OJ really hits hard. You got big facts and I’m showing up for you every time now
Appreciate this! Thanks for tuning in!
All your observations have been masterfully done, looking forward to your success with your channel
Thank you very much!
Man this was solid! I remember being a kid when the trial was going on, even in 2nd grade it was mad tense. The juxtaposition of all the topics in this video was fantastic dude keep it up
It was a wild case for sure but that made it interesting to do! Always appreciate the feedback and encouragement. Thank you!
I was in a “mock trial” in summer camp while the trial was still going on, we picked the one Asian kid to be the Judge and of course a Black kid for OJ. We found OJ guilty, I played the prosecution. I’ll never forget it. I was going in the 4th grade, I was 9. It was 100% inappropriate to have a bunch of under 11 year olds play act a murder trial.
The juice is loose, the juice is loose 😂
My 5th grade teacher had us sitting in class watching the trial. I couldn't believe it and didn't understand why it was so important. I grew up in the projects and people died there all the time. My father was killed in the hood and nobody made a national case out of it. It pissed me off. The day his verdict was given so many teachers(white) were upset they walked out of the classrooms to complain, cry, etc. The rest of the school qas completely silent. It's like they never considered how their actions would effect a school full of young minorities. I've been questioning america ever since. Wtf did OJ have to do with my 5th grade education? They made it a race issue and I'll never forget that
As someone from the Caribbean, from my perspective that seems bizarre and unnecessary and very much stupid
@enmunap Americans have a bad habit of getting caught up in nonsense that's not directly relevant to our personal lives. It's nonsensical and depressing tbh
Bro, I remember as a senior in high school there was this white kid who got shot, in his chest, with a shotgun while skipping school. Teachers and student were given time off to "cope" with the loss. Same year, a few months apart, a black wrestling died while being black. Nothing. Don't be suprised.
IF YOU IMMIGRATED HERE YOU CAME TO THIS IF YOUR A DESCENDANT FROM U.S. SLAVERY YOU WERE BORN INTO THIS SH** WE ARE NOT SHOCKED AND JUST REMEMBER YOU CHOSE TO COME HERE OK ✌🏿👋🏿✈️
@@ivorybooker8957AND THAT'S AMERICA
What's crazy is I've followed Dave for 10% comedy, 60% critical thinking, and 30% how he interacts with the world he criticizes.
Then you have dead beat daddies, f*ck ninjas like Corey Holcomb talking about he’s bombing
following another man is crazy
You are a Beast dude! Of editing, of narration, and of content.
I can only dream of the day when my stuff can be like yours.
More Love, More Strength.
That was very well written, good job on a well done video essay, sir. I hope to hear and see more from you. God bless and keep up the good work.
That splice of J.Coles Be Free was clean my man
Awesome essay, definitely thought provoking, great job!
I think this might be my first comment on a youtube video ever, but I really want to say I thoroughly enjoyed this. so interesting, captivating and definitely a video essay I will be sharing with others! brb abt to binge the whole channel!! keep up the great work!!
Thank you!
What frustrates me about Dave Chappelle is that he understands from a moral perspective, a materialist perspective, and personal experience what it is like to be an other in America.
(I would even say that being black is the gold standard of being an "OTHER" in the United States.)
Why would he give way to the same reactionary thought process that is used over and over again in this cycle to otherize and push down black people. Then turn around and use it against an even smaller even more insignificant marginalized community that is trans people.
Like am I missing something?
Because he's human and he also has his biases, he's not better or any less than you are he's the same, and as such he is prone to his own opinions and actions regardless of whether you would condone them or not.
For some people, regardless of their marginalization, they only seek some kind of power in the structure. With great cognitive dissonance, he found it.

Dave Chappelle is transphobic and he knows it. He never once claimed he wasn't, and the honesty is what made him popular. However, his transphobia is as the name implies; a phobia. He doesn't hate trans people but is AFRAID of them. Many times, he told about his experience meeting with actual trans people and it's usually positive.
My favourite happens to be the one where he danced with a transwoman and when it was revealed, he asked why she didn't tell him, knowing his biases were like, and she told him that it's because he was happy dancing with her. So they ended up continuing the night, dancing and enjoying themselves. That's Dave Chappelle.
this was a beautiful video dawg. you just earned a subscriber off this shit , you articulated all of the thoughts and issues i’ve had with this country since i was in middle school. thank you.
Excellent video - I wanted to comment regarding Obama representing black America the same way Trump represents white America. Idk if it was a source you used in your essay, but Ta-Nehisi Coates wrote a piece for the Atlantic titled "My President Was Black" in 2017. It analyzed the the way Obama had to navigate being many different kinds of symbols. The essay both regards him as both unrepresentative of the "main" narrative of African Americans (born in Hawaii, father from Kenya, raised around his mother's family etc) while also becoming representative of it through his life journey. I think comparing him to Trump in this way is doubly fascinating: Trump himself is unrepresentative of the "main" narrative of white America (born/lived wealth) while also representing some of white America's deepest desires (wealth, a sort of immunity to governmental limitations).
Really interesting take, I haven't seen that article but that was definitely the comparison I was going for. Great insight!
phewwww this vid was well thought out🔥🔥
Thank you!
I have been entertaining a thought about truth for some time. reconciliation is the end result of truth. When two sides find truth, reconciliation is one of the best fruits they reap from their efforts to learn truth. I see that idea in full colour in your work. Man. You're a JRR Tolkien of our time, telling the story of Babylon in a way that exposes its ugliness, and emptiness and pointing us back to the Holy City. Hands down. You will see great success. Your work will heal our world. Keep going!!!
an a star was born
this was amazing
Awesome video. Where is your family from originally, out of pure curiosity?
i think he said nigeria in one of his other videos
Actually it will be a subject of one of my essays so please stay tuned!
your vids are great, thanks for the hard work you put into creating them ♥
Thank you, appreciate the recognition!
thank you so much for making this amazing video! I have never looked at the OJ trail like this.
Amazing video! I generally knew of the events you mentioned but your analysis really gives a whole new POV. Keep going :)
What an interesting perspective on the OJ case, never realized how large the divide was between whites and blacks
100%, interesting for me to. Thank you for watching!
excellent work. glad i run into this channel. subbed
i think you bring up some very strong points here, as does dave. as an lgbtq person, i find that his words have been taken out of context equally as often as they have been offensive to my communities. his overall message is pretty important, but anyone with this large of a platform right now should be progressive enough to know that speaking out against lgbtq people just results in increased suicide rates and violence being encouraged towards us. in my experience, dave has presented being transgender as just another crazy white trend, and it's harmful to all of the trans people of color that would probably otherwise have continued to be his fans. he's a funny guy, but if he means to be helpful to anyone marginalized then he needs to view all marginalized people as part of the same community, i.e. gay people and people of color should and historically have stood together against the violence and injustice we both face. keep in mind that one of the most famous members of the modern lgbtq rights movement was a black trans woman.
since i do like your channel so far, i would love to hear what you think about this, or if you have any videos ive missed that covered the topic. thanks for ur time KAZMALOOP.
I've said this before but he's just another human, i won't deny the fact that he has more attention to his words than anyone else who isn't a famous comedian but just like you or me or everyone else he has his own biases and opinions.
Just because he's famous or you agree with most or some of the stuff he says doesn't mean he's right all the time and i think the part most people get wrong is that they expect him to be right all of the time or any other famous person by that matter. Consciously or subconsciously
Hi, thanks for letting me hear your thoughts. I appreciate the willingness for dialogue and the benefit of the doubt that I don’t mean any offense using Dave Chappelle’s material. When I started this video it actually didn’t have much of Dave until my research started to link a lot of my points to his specials. With that said, when it comes to race relations, black history, and pop culture I think his voice cuts the deepest. And I do think generally he comes from a good place. With that said, I realize he has blind spots and biases in other aspects of his worldview, and those have real world consequences. Those aspects aren’t covered in this video because I know where his strengths are and the places we can all agree for the purpose of creating unity. I do think it’s an interesting topic to explore at some point though so great suggestion!
Thank you for the thoughtful response and I hope this clears it up somewhat.
@@kazmaloop thanks for hearing me out as well. i'd love to see the links between the lgbtq civil rights movement and the black civil rights movement discussed in future content.
edit: the black trans woman in question is named Marsha P. Johhson. a lot of people make fun of her because of her appearance, but she is one of the most important founders of throwing bricks at police officers
great goonsesh man! excited for the next 😅
Don't know what that is lol, but thank you for watching!
@@kazmaloop you dont want to know 🫣
@@potisive Is this referring to a 'goon' session? Are you indulging in self-pleasure while appreciating the greatness of this video?
Pretty well put.
After any action/event follows an equally if not larger reaction no matter how ‘good’ or ‘bad’ the event was, and The US hasn’t really changed outside of outside appearance and some laws. Only real difference between today and the early to late 20th century is that now Every rich person can avoid repercussion for their actions instead of merely “the whites”.
Aka. Equality for the rich and fuck the poor.
Hope I interpreted the video correctly. (Btw. You def. deserve more views/subscribers - if this is the general quality of videos you put out)
This was brilliant. Well worth the subscribe button and the like. Peace and blessings!!!!
Great video. Everything in America has ALWAYS been a stage for entertainment. Everyone in the rapping/singing, entertainment industry, football/basketball and politics has always put on a great show for Americans.
Chappelle's stories about OJ and MJ made me realize for the first time that they were such different people than what the media made them out to be. And how they were made examples of, in the end.
This is excellent
i thought this was a bigger channel while watching, very well edited. i cant count the amount of times i was trying to read the on screen text and listen to you at the same time though. would definitely change that but i enjoyed nonetheless, made me think!
Glad you enjoy it, and thank you for watching! I’ll keep that suggestion in mind
Damn bro earn that sub without a second look at the channel…helluva a video man
Fire video my g 🫶🏽🫶🏽
I remember walking with my mother on the corner of Main Street & Clinton Avenue and seeing the picture of O.J. trying unsuccessfully to put on one of the infamous bloody gloves on the front page of the local newspaper. I looked to my mother, and said, "Mom, they might as well let him go right now." That was roughly two months before the verdict was read. While I felt some sort of vindication that I correctly predicted that he would get off, I wasn't as stoked as a lot of my fellow brothers and sisters were. The way I saw it, Simpson wasn't acquitted because he was Black, because he was a Buffalo Bill, or even because he was rich. He was acquitted because there simply wasn't enough damning evidence to quell the reasonable doubts that Cochran and them raised. Of course, it didn't help that Mark Furhman was an unprofessional shithead and Kato Kaelin was a slacker with the worst case of C.R.S. this side of the guy from Memento.
so we just not gone pay attention to the guitar riff from Trey Songz ‘Neighbors Know My Name’ calmly playing in the background?

@@kazmaloop 🤯wooooow.. surprisingly…. it fits.
I've had to rewatch this a few times because as much as i can hear all of these things individually and as much as i recognize all of the truths here; you broke down the system and divide that we see to this day by using 3 people. 3 stories. they all tell so much and yet leave so much unsaid and so many questions and just fuck. thank you for your words and putting this together. youre doing great. keep going with whatever you love.
Thank you so much! This means a lot!
This was very informative
Nice work, thoroughly enjoyed it! Btw where's this sample from 23:07?
It's a flip of Daniel Ceasar's Blessed by the artist Sumatra
@@kazmaloop Thanks man 👊🏽
this is the shit! keep at it brother
Great Video!
I hope this video reaches others
The calls coming from inside the house 😮😮😊
Amazing 🔥 ManshAllh
Appreciate it, thank you for watching!
there's always a resonating truth in comedic analysis & deconstruction
Introspective presentation and stark reminder it's all an illusion filled with sloganeering and empty promises yes America one of the greatest corporations ever created..👁️
I think people just lose their sense of critical thinking when it comes to big problems like that.
you forgot the part he didnt like black people until.....he caught that case lolz😂😂
What happened to the puppet masters behind bankman fried and George santos
The quote on the screen @18:07
I still can't believe they cut to the most boring car "chase" during the finals.
Very poignant video.

And that's a sub earned
Wait. Did you just steal the character from the Summer Wars anime as your logo?😂😂😂😂😂😂 do you need one done that isn’t copyright theft?😮😂😂😂😂
I'm planning on an update soon but appreciate the heads up!
Anyway Chappelle is magic🙌🏾
14:22 Frank Wilderson calls this the “Grammars of suffering” I.e white people comparing hard work to slavery
Point 1: O.J. Simpson *DID NOT* play Football! He played Gridiron, which is an overchoreographed piece of utter nonsense which is as far removed from "Football" as Planet Mercury is from Planet Pluto! (2:50) If you want to see *REAL* Football, watch a game from Britain, either an F.A. Cup round or a Premiership match, or watch an A-League game from Australia.
I gotta know the outro song
@kazmaloop give em the sauce
@@Haarunh2 on me, the video was golden but that outro actually touched my soul and almost brought a tear to my eye with the visuals
@@Someone_Unknown90 check this. Daniel Caesar blessed Sumatra flip
that's the one! thanks!
@@kazmaloop wait that’s the name of the outro? Or did you mix it yourself cause if so bro you’re good 👍🏽
Gave to much power to corporations and narcissists within "persecuted" communities
oj is innocent.
Obama SUCKED HARD, Gotta get Trump back in office.
