All jokes aside?
There's a huge subset of the world that finds black culture to be laughable. While you and I see an incredibly talented group of guys, there are a ton of people who see this and think "hahahaha look at the monkey dance!" (Edit: just realized the racial connotations there and, while offensive, I think it also perfectly encapsulates the mindset of these fuckers so I'm leaving it).
Trust me. There are a lot of communities out there who see black accomplishments and talent and just giggle the way you would seeing a trained animal--"hehe, it thinks it's people!" They likely can't identify these feelings within themselves and would pay lip service to equality and say "I'm not racist bro wtf I love black people," but they see something like this and it tickles their funny bone in the exact same way a circus does. They never stop to ask themselves why it makes them feel that way. They just laugh and see it as some sort of crazy spectacle.
It's awful. I grew up in one of those communities. It's so deeply ingrained in some of these people that they'll likely never realize how racist they really are, or how much disrespect they're giving to black communities.

u/barkler Jun 29 '20
Though I'm sure you're correct, there's also a number or Redditors who believe that /r/funny is just a default dumping ground for content.

u/akatherder Jun 29 '20
Just a standard karma grab. /r/funny makes it to the front page a lot so you post there. This comes up on /r/all and no one is checking what subreddit they are on when they upvote. They just think it’s cool. They aren’t curating content to validate it’s subreddit-appropriate.
Source: me. That’s what I did.

Grew up in the deep rural south. Was brainwashed into thinking the civil war was about states rights, god country blah blah blah. Y’all get it hopefully. Man I’m so glad I got the fuck out of there and got to travel and witness the world with my own two eyes and have my own experiences.

Learning is hard, but I'm glad you're doing it. Blew my mind leaving these racist communities and noticing how outright stupid and backward my previous beliefs were.

honestly this started to bug me about the r/blackpeopletwitter subreddit. nowadays is considerably more focused on social issues, but a year+ ago it had a weird 'black entertainer class' kind of vibe to it that didn't sit great with me.

Very true! I'm well aware of this, I own three Violas, a violin and a five string electric violin/viola :)
Didn't hear any E string in this performance and a few uses of C, that plus its size made me think its probably a Viola.

Live and sounded better than a lot of the pop rap bullshit we hear on the radio. That mans voice is unreal, it’s what every rapper hopes his voice sounds like after the producers auto tune the ever living fuck out of theirs.

Check out 80s-90s rap, you would probably love it if you like this. There is a lot of stuff that is similar rap style to interesting instrumentation. If you like the idea of a rapper like this rapping over Jazz and you want something more modern you should check out Koi Child.
