as a nonbinary person ive never really liked "folx" because folks is already perfectly inclusive and folx really just seems performative

“We centered black voices...... and then edited them to fit a narrative”

“Burning in the sun. Idk.” As an IRISH white person, that cut DEEP.

as a transmasc, "folx" just seems like a performative way to get credit for "acknowledging" us and being inclusive; idk why it's considered to be specifically lgbtq+ when "folks" is inclusive of everyone anyways. people do very careless, superficial things in lazy attempts to win support from communities.

D’Angelo saying “my parents” as if he didn’t just float down in a ray of light onto this earth

Cut really said ”let’s make black people sound racist to gather the audience that needs an outlet and an excuse to be racist back”

One thing that was extremely manipulative was the specific word “superior” that Cut decided to use in their question. That word would make almost anyone immediately defensive and/or on edge. It’s almost as if they were trying to provoke a negative reaction in order to utilize it in the narrative they’re building

I will never forgive videos like this for teaching my young, impressionable teenage mind that every minority group (including the ones that I'm a part of) were out for my blood. The way they're being demonized in such a subtle yet effective way is just... vile.

I don’t understand why people use the term “folx” bc the word “folks” itself is already gender inclusive

I'm gonna say it right now: No one is superior.

Part of the problem is that discussing “white people” *as an institution* - as part of a discussion on how race (and racism) operates socially and systematically privileges certain people - is different from discussing “white people” as individuals. A discussion of how whiteness operates as a social system is not actually supposed to operate as a condemnation of every individual white person, but it takes clear context to clarify what is meant by “white people.” The way that Cut framed it, it’s incredibly unclear which one they mean. Some of the Black people responding probably meant “white people” (the institution) rather than “white people” (the individuals), but Cut explicitly played into the confusion to inflame white viewers. Insidious as fuck.

buzzfeed gives off “my friend is black so i’m not racist” vibes

Even the way they asked the question: "What are white people *superior* at.", not "what are white people *better* at." immediately calls up the association with white supremacists.

With a question like "what are white people superior at?" they're directing the interviewees to white supremacy, just by how they framed it. On top of that, the editing is just insulting

Them: What exactly are white people superior at? Me: Asking stupid questions *stares to interviewer without blinking for more than a minute*

putting “history is written by the colonizer” in the same video as “white people smell funky” absolutely downplays the relevance of the first statement.

I love the fact that D'Angelo didnt even try to hide the fact that he disliked the video lol

no one SHOULD be superior to anyone were all human

“What are white people superior at?” “Burning in the sun” 😂

the absolute irony of giving 100 black people “a voice” just to talk about white people 😭

“I don’t even want white privilege taken away. I just want it for everyone.” lol actually ✨YES✨

"Racist Buzzfeed" So, "Buzzfeed Buzzfeed?"

They're called cut for a reason. it's definitely cut out off context 💀

Why do I feel like everyone said “nothing” at the beginning and then kept getting pushed to say more and more intense stuff

it’s hilarious that people use “folx” as a gender neutral version of “folks” when “folks” is already gender neutral

People: *Express concern abt racism* The media: *Make it sound like they're being racist* A bunch of other people: *Get angry and starts hating the people* The people: 👁👄👁 The media: 💲👄💲

I watched this a few years ago and it made me feel bad for being white. Thank you D'Angelo this is giving me clarity about how the video is set up to make me feel ashamed. I think this video creates divisiveness, and its manipulating black people and white people and making us mad at each other instead of questioning the system that perpetuates privledge. Its good to remember this, because I feel like theres a narrative about race that perpetuates pain instead of healing. There is healing to be done and in a different way.

a huge problem with their editing is that they cut off people before they could actually explain their opinions. guess that’s why they’re called cut.

Let’s ask an explicitly racist question and see how people try to find an answer for it.

D'angelo: ''dont expect me to have the same opinions towards your demonic animals'' also him: wearing cat ears

as a white person, I gotta say one thing I learned from having friends of every shape colour and size the only thing superior I got on them is cold resistance. for some reason my white ass can take -40 and they can’t even take -12. love my frigid friends thoo 😂❤

Why would “folx” be considered gender neutral when “folks” is already gender neutral?

As a nonbinary person, "folx" irks me because folks was already gender inclusive

I cant have kids, and i actually found my dog as a stray a couple months after i had to have a hysterectomy, and i call her my fur baby, but id never expect anyone else to treat her like a child, i dont even treat her like a child. I just have a really strong bond with her, and she has helped me through some really hard times, so i have a lot of love for her. Its honestly weird to me that anyone would ever expect anyone else to treat their animal like a child🤷‍♀️

I thought “Cut” was a Buzzfeed channel. Like nbc has has the peacock channel. I didn’t realize they were completely their own thing

I really like how D'angelo didn't mock anyone in this video but rather he came after the company.

This is so weird, being black isn’t a personality trait and being white isn’t either.

“No way they’ll use this to paint all black people in a negative light, right?” *Tucker Carlson enters the chat* Cut knows EXACTLY what they’re doing with these videos and they don’t care at all. They care way more about outrage farming clicks than they do about Black lives.

Thank you for putting the finger on what had been bugging me with this channel for so long! I used to watch it before they got all involved in race "discussions" and noticed a sharp shift in my attitudes towards their content. I went from enjoying it to feeling super uncomfortable and I thought it was me because if I'm uncomfortable it would mean I have something to blame myself for, that they are right and I'm just privileged but no! My whole issue with this channel is that they pretend to start conversations on important and deep topics but in fact give no space whatsoever for these opinions to thrive, and just use buzz-words and controversial statements as facts to make themselves feel better about what they do. In no way did they respect any person present on this shoot, they just sampled one argument they made and mashed it among tens of others, creating this mess of valid points taken individually, but so far removed from the narrative they create that it seems disingenuous and angers their audience. But then this anger doesn't get directed at the media, who managed to remove themself from their content by giving a fake platform to individuals and communities who suffer from the consequences of such anger. It's vile and I'm glad I finally understand it

They’re probably named CUT because they’re good at CUTTING parts out.

The white cameraman when he gets called unseasoned and smelly: 😢

I'm Italian so my food is not bland by any means; miss me with that stereotype.

The “oh god” at the “using Mayo in all their recipes” sent me. He knew he was gonna agree with it and hated it

As an average white person, this video comes across and is cut intentionally to read as "black people hate you" and the division continues to grow. Thank you D'Angelo for calling this out for what it is. So manipulative.

Not to mention the question “what are white people superior at?” As if that’s not an inherently triggering question in the first place. They knew they could get some of these answers because of the way they PHRASED the question.

That dripped guy is just a chad to not fall for this bs

D'Angelo, the way you broke down the problems with this video was so amazing to me. I am constantly impressed by your ability to dissect complex issues/topics in a way that's easy for us to understand in a super tactful way. Keep being the best person on KZfaq :)

D’angelo and pastel colors are kind of a god tier combination

Imagine being worse than buzzfeed, that's an accomplishment.

This is the very definition of a loaded question... skin color does not determine talents or worth. I have friends who are black, white, Hispanic, and so mixed they have some percentage of genes from all over the place and SURPRISE we all have things we are good at and bad at.

Sir you do not miss. Thank you for making this video pointing this out. This video is not an innocent clickbaity thing its straight up insidious and evil to try to boil down a subject as serious as racism and frame it in this way for the purpose of clout.

buzzfeed activism has set normal activism back by 5000 years 😭😭

The use of “folx” instead of folks is a performative way of “being so woke you fall back asleep”

Legit v happy for D’Angelo that his return saw him transform into the Main Character 17:50

Literally the only answer to the LOADED first question: “nothing” 🙃🙃🙃

folx actually isn't more inclusive lol it's just performative. "folks" is already a gender neutral term, so the x for gender neutrality is just clueless, performative, ignorant, and tbh kind of condescending. and i do say this as a nonbinary person

"Im a black woman and im seriously embarrassed by this" D'Angelo: "same"

Ok Ive just randomly started a binge of your videos- and you are the first person I’ve ever seen go on the “folx” rant I’ve been going on for years. I cannot tell you the amount of times I’ve cringed at the fact that 95% of straight/cis people say “lgbtq folxs” or “queer folx” like that’s the only acceptable term. When did “people” stop applying???

The way Cut said they "centred black peoples voices" make them sound like they have a saviour complex

"they're superior at burning in the sun" made me laugh so hard

These cut videos really make a mockery of real issues for views and engagement. I'm so glad he's calling them out

I think the one lady was talking about the "Mitochondrial Eve" ancestress we all share.

D Angelo is the only reason I still have faith in future of KZfaq as a platform

"Get rid of the slave catchers, expand the police force"........ it's actually disturbing how accurate that statement is. I feel like those words alone are the most important thing that came out of that video.

I asked my mom this as a joke and she said that they are superior at being the one to check out the weird noise in horror movies

i personally hate when “white” and “racist” are used interchangeably

Cant believe D’Angelo fucked up his recommendations to bring us this content 😭 hope its better now king

This really reminds me of a quote, "Red and Black ants will not fight each other when they are in a jar and everything is stable. However, if the jar is shaken, the ants will begin to fight. So today we should always ask, 'who shook the jar?'

D’Angelo obsessing over that guy’s hair was so wholesome

I feel like the use of "folx" was meant to sound "urban" thus, most likely patronizing

When I saw this on a stream I didnt really think too much of it, like it felt like the kind of thing racists would be mad at but thats about where I stopped. Thanks for giving it so much more context and helping me understand how its problematic to lump int fun jokey shit with like legit problems in a way that deligitimizes the latter. Great video as always!

As someone with a sociology degree, this makes me furious. This is a leading question meant to get specific types of answers. The people in the video did amazingly considering the BS question they were asked.

one of the most stupid things about this is that "folx" isnt any more gender inclusive than folks. FOLKS LITTERALY MEANS PEOPLE

at 20:53 when he scrolls down the last woman of the previous video is shown, in the same clothes, in the thumbnail. Meaning, they have probably asked them more than what they think of white superiority, but used different answers from different questions. The power of ✨editing✨

Burning in the sun, that's extremely true. Especially in the UK where the sun rarely comes out and people don't think of sunscreen cause they're desperate to not be pale and tan in the small space of summer we get. They just end up looking like lobsters. So. Fucking. Burnt.

Are we surprised racist and buzzfeed are in the same sentence? No.

“I don’t think the average living white person would be good at colonizing” *white tiktokers have entered the chat*

I appreciate your level-headedness, good sir. This is something that our society is sorely lacking. Also, as a white person who was raised on Cajun food, I can say that some of us do season our food. Haha

What you gotta remember is: These people are being paid some money, maybe a free lunch as well, so they’re gonna say something, explain it, then go on with their day.

“racist buzzfeed” is a fantastic title, concise, straight to the point, not busied up with any punctuation, any capitalization... beautiful

saying "folx" makes peoples allyship seem so forced. folks is already gender neutral

I love this video, its perfectly analyzing media's objective to make light of real issues and take things out of context to further their ideas. Simultaneously stirring up and upsetting people while also dismissing the validity of what people are saying in this video by giving zero context.

this is some amazing top tier media literacy thank you for breaking it down in an easy way

I noticed every comment section on Cut has really gross comments, like extremely racist and sexist, so on, Cut has no problem with this and keeps on feeding the crowd.

I'm not black but i am Asian, since Asian people are also in danger rn (especially in America) if i was asked this i'd probably just say "they aren't superior at anything, they just have the ability to get away with more"

i find it hilarious that they try so hard to be this “all inclusive” with the “folx” when literally no one does that- folks itself is gender neutral.

I think your videos are seriously something that is needed in America, and helps stop stupid racial / Identity politics divides. We all want the same shit at the end of the day. Thank you D'angelo. I half hope that you don't get on TV, because your content is amazing, but most of me wishes nothing but success and the best for you. You have a lot of integrity, you don't lie, you don't take things out of context.. You're real. It's refreshing. Thank you man. Appreciate you.

Part of centering Black voices is protecting Black voices, and instead they used Black voices to get clicks and create anger. I'm glad you went into what their team looks like because that was my question the whole video.

cut also made an extremely transphobic video where they basically traumatized trans people and made them talk to transphobes who would not listen to them whatsoever. and then they treated it like some sort of intellectual discussion... and basically gave transphobes equal ground and treated it like they said nothing wrong??? edit: it wasnt cut, but jubilee but i am 90% sure theyre the same thing

It might be fair to say 'white people in America' for all of this video, as someone who lives in Croatia where like 99% of people are white because historically we never had slaves (this goes for all slav cultures Russian, Serbian, Bosnian. ..), heraing all this about 'white people' when there's so many white cultures except for Americans or British, makes me slightly iritated

Got a sub from me. Only thing that can defeat racism is patience, love, and understanding.

Honestly? This really seems like a very insidious way of making black people seem unreasonable and bad. And a lot of people will fall for it

They’re describing racism because they were asked a racist question. Pretty simple. Thank you D’Angleo as usual for providing amazing content. 🙌 EDIT: in case you’re confused this is a pro BLM comment. The racist question was the one asked by The Cut, they’re the racists here, not the people answering the questions.

It just dawned on me that I'm (probably) closer in age to D'Angelo's parents than him...

People in the US: White People can't cook. France and Italy: I am sorry what?

Jubilee also has the same problem, they bring people because "every opinion deserves to be heard" and then it's just ignorance, misinformation and hate

These types of videos are trivialising the real issues faced by black people.

17:43 "Im just gonna stay alive for like... the next 20 years' AAAAIIIGHT, D'angelo. Im gonna hold you to that!

something to think about... "Black lives have always mattered its just people keep remembering this every few years"... Aka election years. Gotta love politicians being disingenuous every election cycle
