[eden153100]

Y so many ?

[pokemaster123ism]

audio is good now

[TheHal20062b]

1998 or 1999

[SharonLougheed]

I feel like this: /watch?v=xaxVFOqNFA8 is the sequel.

[Degenerate94]

I agree with @sadface0, nothin happened wit da movie, "White man can't jump". But what if there was a movie, "black man can't swim"? Lawsuit! Bullsh*t!

[bondsmoka]

Have you ever played with the pull tab of a 7Up can? It nearly does sound like like a banjo.

[mrminshred]

is that why i dont see 7ups that much anymore?

[dood9001]

I lol'd

[Dogman36]

I imagine the FCC have dealt with this one

[PlacentaPudding]

If you want a soda that plays black people music, buy "purple drank."

[DiegoTheJackal]

@PlacentaPudding grape soda?

[AudioJihad]

@caponestrigga I was annoyed by people taking a construct such as race so seriously.

[123456789haloman]

pause the video at 9 seconds its lol

[AudioJihad]

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that Bluegrass music and the banjo itself have its roots with African slaves? So the mere fact that he's calling it "white people music" is incorrect, anyways. This ad doesn't bother me anyways since race is a social construct and doesn't actually exist. People need to stop taking the color of their skin so seriously, it's a joke.

[clank787]

@AudioJihad Race is not merely a social construct, it also involves the genetic and physical differences between people of different ethnicities.

[AudioJihad]

@clank787 How can that possibly be when it is difficult to make clear distinctions between race when the lines are blurred and there are so many exceptions to them? People would distinguish "black" people as having dark skin, whereas many "white" people, such as people from India and the middle east, have characteristically dark skin. But there's the possibility that you may consider middle eastern people a separate race, but others do not. This is the definition of a social construct.

[CainmosniMirrored]

@clank787 We can all reproduce with one another so genetic makeup is only an argument if your in a villiage in Africa. In the United States more and more blacks are becoming light skinned because they are reproducing with whites. It is pathetic too because those "light skinned blacks" do not even embrace that they are half white.

[godsofliberty]

@CainmosniMirrored That's completely untrue. The ' white ' gene is recessive, therefore it would be the ' white ' person becoming less and less white rather than the ' black ' person becoming lighter. The way america works, however, is if you are the least bit brown, you're black. So we see these mixed light skinned ' blacks ' as having ' white ' in them where it is actually the recession of the ' white ' genes.

[GenoClown]

Weird to me that this is from the '90s. I'd have thought it too racial-tension-y-ish for then.

[disturbedone5009]

That's because white people music is awesome. If it played brown people music it would be less awesome.

[KidSamurai225]

@disturbedone5009 and u suck!!!

[disturbedone5009]

@KidSamurai225

No bitch.

[kinmanyuen]

loool banjo is a racist instrument

[TheyCallMeAfro]

Lol you guys are taking this shit way to damn seriously... first its a joke... second its from the fuckin 90s calm down... nd for all you guys talking about the double standards nd shit, well there are double standards with everything... nd most black people wouldnt get offended like how theres so many black jokes on shows like tosh.0 nd south park nd family guy... nd the black people that would get up nd arms like jesse jackson.. well most us blacks hate people like him lol

[chillyche]

@TheyCallMeAfro "most us blacks hate people like him lol." Yeah. Well, I guess I understand a lot now. Do most of us also hate Malcolm and Huey and Fred? I have a sinking suspicion that most of us don't even know who Huey and Fred are anymore.

[Mijicm]

What's his name?

[SKOTP69]

Let's talk about all this in more detail. The vast majority of so-called Black music has some, and more often major, White influence in it...and there would be NO recorded music to listen to, whatsoever, if White men had not made all the technology required possible.

[randomhalofan292]

wow i find this funny an im white that a black guy makes fun of white people 4 a change lol

[SKOTP69]

@randomhalofan292 For a change? Where the hell have you been?

[contact1araya]

So If a dude comes out and says it only plays black people music what happens?

[GangsterFish78]

@contact1araya Civil War

[sadface0]

@contact1araya "So If a dude comes out and says it only plays black people music what happens?"

7up gets sued, black people riot.

[GenoClown]

@sadface0 Agree.

[Drmofothegreat]

oddly enough i'm white and this sounds reminiscent of the album i just listened to.

good job, 7up predictingenuity the future of white people music.us :)

[Lockerz4us]

my brain just exploded!

[MetalEdge56]

If this was a white person saying that it only plays black people music the naacp would throw a shit fit

[1Mastermind1990]

@MetalEdge56 whenever someone sayt this there is one counter best fitting.... Sarah Silvermen!haha

[orkwarlord7]

@darcshado he doesn't have a mom thats why he made3 this vid

[klocke]

this is bad and you should feel bad

[myfragilesin]

THIS SUCKS AND IS BAD.

[tutu1987]

wtf

[NaeJoy]

Okay, so whats this "white people music" ??

"white people music" is an ignorant statement.

Hiphop is not black music, there have been loads of really good white rappers, hiphop artists throughout the 80's etc. And there a few black guys in metal, pop, rock, indie etc. So #WTF are you talking about!?

[bojoben]

@NaeJoy Exactly. Rappers like Beastie Boys made hip hop great, so fuck any racist shit.

Black man is president, white man is the best living rapper.

Go figure.

[1Mastermind1990]

@bojoben naw, that may not be entirely true, though they did help in the effort of progressing hip hop.

[Drmofothegreat]

@bojoben

sorry man Blak Lungz isn't white.

also noise drone etc. rules.

[willieg54]

"You know 7up (speaker explodes)"

[prdgyair]

was that supposed to be funny?

[AbusiveAdminPaul]

hahahahaha XD

[natekay]

you suck

[HAPPYxBANANAxCAKES34]

actually we are blue blood looks red because no oxygen going to it

[ff7cstrife]

@HAPPYxBANANAxCAKES34 so why doesn't our blood look blue when it is drawn out with a syringe? it's blood from the veins, whose oxygen supply is depleted, yet it looks red in the syringe, even though there's no oxygen in it. Its because your blood isn't blue, EVER, its red because it contains a red pigment known as Hemoglobin, which DOES change the color of the cell, but not as much as to go from Blue to red, but more like Dark Red to Bright Red. there's a reason they're called RED blood cells :D

[orkwarlord7]

@ff7cstrife oxygen in the needle of the syringe lol there called red blood cells cuz the other ones are wite, you'll prove me write if you flame me

[ff7cstrife]

@orkwarlord7 I'll prove you right when you're worth the effort. In the meantime, work on your spelling. No flaming needed.

[orkwarlord7]

@ff7cstrife that counts lol

[iainlovesu]

oh yeah great, there's my laptop speakers gone

[gublue24]

Wow what's up with the sound, I couldn't understand anything!

[haks0894]

wow i think you owe me a new pair of computer speakers!!!

[tnklewis]

HAHAHAHA! NIICE ONE

[4evakellyclarksonfan]

ummm yea WHAT THE HECK DID HE JUST SAY???? wow!

[mikesgotniceice]

How bout we talk about how the audio in this video SUCKS ASS??

[CurtiBurty94]

black people cant really be racist to white people though cuz god was white? lol.. who carez wt ya skin colour is.. its all about the inside lol.

[303mrb]

when the lights are off everybody is black...

[Drmofothegreat]

@303mrb

except ghosts they are spooky and white. lol

[blondie20blondie]

how do u know God is white? have u ever seen him? I bet not and nobody has so that statement isnt a very true statement.

[boogynights]

bc someone told them there were white not them selfs.

[JamesHeadbangerfield]

inside huh were all red and gory

[wiki223]

i miss those commercials they were funny

[bridgesmatt]

funny how if it was the other way round, everyone including white people will be complaining how racist it is.

I don't actually think it's racist, if the world was more like this it would be a better place. But if this was a white guy saying

"it only plays black people music..but im working on it"

It would be the end of the world!

[nardpuppy]

this was funny to me. I'm white. i dont think people should get butt hurt over this stuff, but im still waiting for the day when a president of any color can become president and its not a big deal. This election was made to much into a black/white ordeal. Hopefully we can see past color completely one day, i think thats what MLK wanted.

[jabarin2008]

7up 7up 7up 7up 7up 7up 7up 7up 7up 7pu

[kicken123456789]

One of the funniest 'music/commercial' videos ive ever seen xD

[mustardman32]

haha that not racist thats called it funny now and back then white people shit them selves while watching tv

[Ironstick12]

is that actually possible to do?

[rocksalive777]

Apparently not on YouTube.

[Ironstick12]

no, i mean can you actually play the 7up tab as an instrument?

[kicken123456789]

You can do anything on youtube

[kingdomboost]

That's not racial man, that's just funny! PS I'm white too. C'mon, we can laugh at ourselves, right?

[cake43217]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL sucks that im white lol

[moesnose]

to everyone but bluedragon56, its a commercial grow up. to bluedragon56 you are a vile blight on humanity. go away.

[tyla140]

Ok,I just don't like the fact that he stereotypes what music my people, well OUR people(hey,I'm coexisting)are supposed to like.That's why I don't embrace the negative aspects to my culture,I know my history,but hey,it was our faults,too.

[kingdomboost]

I wouldn;t call it racist. Id call it funny.

[tmac123465]

but no thats not what the whole civil rights thing was about was it???? hmmm......

[tmac123465]

look up reverse racism. then come back to me on this one. why do u think college football is getting black coaches?cause they say they NEED more black coaches. why do they NEED more? Shouldnt it be whoever qualifies the best for the job?? but no because organizations schools and stores all have to make sure and have the right amount of blacks mexicans and asians so that they dont get considered racist. Why cant we get treated equal? isnt that what u guys wanted in the first place?

[tmac123465]

now how the hell is that not considered racist?? if that said all it plays is black people music people would start rioting and killin people.. ah this world sucks

[zydaco]

Black people did not have slaves, black people when they get mad do not yell out racial slurs, black people did not invent the term black only white people did. white people music, water fountain, church, houses, bathrooms, food, reasturants, movie theaters ect you guys invented not us. So racist not by far you guys wrote the book on RACIST.

[Surrealness01]

Don't change the fact the advert's racist.

[gazinglie]

Wow... um.. did you know that African chiefs sold their people to Europeans?

[tyla140]

actually ,yeah and i'm mixed

[natassusej]

You are by far the most ignorant motherfucker ever. Go rot in a shit-hole.

[bridgesmatt]

black people INVENTED the fucking idea of slaves, you FUCKIGN idiot.

[bridgesmatt]

totally agree with you, if it was a white guy saying 'it plays black people music but im working on it' it would be the end of the fucking world. basically: Black people are allowed to be racist but white people AREN'T. APPARENTLY. AND ITS STUPID LIKE THAT. IT'S NOT EQUAL TO US

[KaMMiiEEx3]

do u know how bad us whites treated them?? its horrible and some people still do which is messed up and they think they're sooooo cool for being a racist but NOT AT ALL!!

[RaviationBludd]

I'm not rascist but most of the population today wer'nt ivolved with the rascism back in it's major time, so why should black be rascist to white and white be rascist to black?

It's a skin colour for god sake?!

[acthaog]

youre right that white people did, and still do treat black people as if their not human.

but when you say "us whites" you make it seem like i, personally, attack black people the other day. no. its not "us whites". its "those whites" because "us" would put us in the formula. dumb bitch

[goodspam]

ah, you gotta love white people music

[hoodiewarning]

uhhh nope not really only a few

[japo1141]

i would say "Honkey Music" insteald of white people music lol

[BlueDragon56]

now if he was white and said that about black people music there would be a public outcry.

[goreds03]

your are so right

[biglex42]

ohhhh you mean the same way that white people dressed up as black people in minstrel shows for generations? and how a white person probably wrote, came up with, AND directed THIS commericial? who is 7up owned by? oh thats right, WHITE PEOPLE!!!

[bjmage]

Actually, 7up is owned by Pepsi, which is a publicly traded company. Meaning, white, black, hispanic, asians, whatever. Get your facts straight bud.

All the rest of the stuff you mentioned...how is that relevant? The point was made that white people don't have the same leeway when it comes to race jokes as black people. Apparently, it's funny if a black person makes a joke about a white, but racist if whites make jokes about blacks.

[BlueDragon56]

no sierra mist is owned by pepsi you jew.

[BlackpeopleLOL]

we're talking about today, not 50 years ago. I know its hard for you to accept that the past is over since you love wallowing in self pity so much

[GeorgeChronic]

what a sad life you live.

[Ecossaise]

Funny - but wouldn't be shown today due to political correctness
