In remembrance of the important message of Martin Luther King Jr, Copper Cab apologizes for slavery. Right. Needless to say, this video is mildly NSFW (headphones UP) and unmildly INSANE.
Yay! Between this and Invictus I think it is finally safe to say that we have finally eradicated racism! Thanks, Invictus. Thanks, Copper Cab. (And thanks for the tip, werttrew and Maria.)

I came across this powerful picture on Reddit today.
Thanks, Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ok. Next, please apologize for that “beard.”
With those quotation marks around beard, I can only think of last week’s Modern Family episode, and how afterward I had to explain to my dad what a “beard” is.
Things I’ve thought Copper Cab needed: MORE NECKBEARD.
Ginger beards can draw in the ladies (I can attest to this). I like his style!
Ginger beards can indeed draw in the ladies, but the key part of that is beard, not ginger scraps of hair that have appeared sparsely underneath one’s chin.
This video would have been more powerful if it didn’t suspiciously sound like he was taking a whiz throughout the entire run time.
As a black person, I have to say, that was the funniest thing I’ve ever watched.
“It was for the economy.” – My new reason for EVERYthing.
Black people read Videogum, too? You really ARE just like us!
please add “we didn’t mean to” to the front of that. whoops, slavery!
Am I the only one that finds CopperCab videos impossible to sit through?
I sat through that. and I wasn’t bored, if that’s what you mean.
but yeah. that video almost made me want to cry. that kid is in BAD shape.
He’s hit on something that gets him a lot of attention and he’s going to milk that one thing forever.
TWSS?
hmmm. I guess I wasn’t exactly agreeing then, cause my problem is not that the videos are repetitive. it’s that that shit actually made me uncomfortable. and not cause everything he said about race was entirely wack. cause he started crying 2 or 3 times, did one of those guttural MelGibson/DavidafterDentist freakout screams, and then posted it on the internet.
serious question:
how much of this is an act? do you think he is a lot emotionally fucked up in real life than he is trying to appear in these videos?
that is meant to say “do you think he is a lot LESS emotionally fucked up in real life…?”
There are two possibilities. Either he got legitimately upset one time because people ragged on him for being a ginger, and then turned himself into an overblown parody when he realized how much he loved all the attention he was getting;
Or, there is actually something legitimately wrong with him, in which case, why do we keep laughing at him?
I’m in the first camp, but whichever it is, it’s still kind of uncomfortable to watch.
yeah, probably right.
well, no matter how complicated it is, I never meant to sound like I was saying this isn’t all funny, cause it definitely is.
“first they came for the gingers, and only one boy spoke up.”
dude, if coppercab is an elaborate prank , it just crossed from “haha, you got me” to “whoa, wait, this is getting kind of offensive.”
and if it’s not, I’m more worried about that kid than I was when I thought I was pretty worried about him.
They’ll let anyone on the internet these days.
You’d think will all the publicity he’s gotten he could at least get a studio or something. How have people not found that alleyway yet?
White people haven’t gotten theirs yet but everyone else has
counterpoint:
also, there is too much to quote from this.
‘i have white people in my blood.”
“i might not technically be part of the white race…”
“they may not have meant it, but GOD, THEY REALLY FUCKED SHIT UP.”
Plus: “We’re all in the same boat” repeated five times. Too soon, ginger.
“Slavery: We Didn’t Mean It.”
I’m not even at work today and I felt uncomfortable listening to this
Black People, I hope you are having a WONDERFUL Martin Luther King Day!!! I HOPE IT IS GREAT!!!!! IT IS BASICALLY YOUR TOP HOLIDAY AMIRITE? I DON’T KNOW BECAUSE I HAVE WHITE PEOPLE IN MY BLOOD.
How long did he practise that pause after saying it was wrong and just before apologising for slavery?
Its a well known fact that gingers didn’t own
soulsslaves.You can’t call him a ginger. Only other redheads can call him a ginger.
What about ginga? Is that okay?
Only if it’s in song lyrics.
Ginger was the original name of his new record. Then he changed it to self titled.
When I think redhead I think of incredibly attractive women.
And some very attractive dudes! My first crush was a ginger.
My spirit animal and I thank you, duncan
Marry me.
“I have a dream that one day, some fat ginger kid will commemorate me by shouting at a camera in his alleyway” — Not Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
“That’s right. Apologize.”
“Man, look at this CopperCab kid who definitely isn’t white.” – no one ever.
He might actually be the whitest person I have ever seen.
You guys, he is NOT WHITE. He is a GINGER and PROUD OF IT.
White people might not have meant it, but they really fucked some shit up (when they made fun of gingers). (Oh, and the slavery thing, too. But mostly the stuff with gingers.)
Copper Nope
As a ginger, *sigh*.
Slavery: The most complicated, lengthiest, economic accident in history.
White Guy 1: Oh my gosh, how did we end up with these people chained up in our hold?
White Guy 2: have no idea! I invited them over for dinner, next thing I know, it’s a month later, they are in our hold, and it’s too late for us to turn around and bring them home.
White Guy 1: Okay, well, it’d be awkward now to just let them go on the ship. Let’s let them free when we get to America; they’ll be able to find work, it’ll be okay. I know a guy who needs some workers.
(Later)
White Guy 1: I can’t believe we just sold them! What was that!? How!?
White Guy 2: We didn’t mean to! It just happened…
White People: “We didn’t mean it.”
1700s White People: “Actually we totally did.”
So, do black people now apologize for the creation of gingers? I’m lost.
We’re going to need a bigger boat.
“Why is this ginger kid, who is definitely not white, yelling at me?” –Black People
What a fucking spaz.
CopperCab needs to cool the fuck out, and when we start replacing ‘ginger’ with ‘slave’ in all our literature, then he can make another video.
Run, run as fast as you can;
You can’t catch me, I’m the Slavebread Man.
I think this kid cares more about MLK day than MLK would.
I have a feeling this is the next Chris “Leave Britney Alone” Crocker.
I am confused. Didn’t he in his first video complain about how he wasn’t different just because his hair is orange?
And now he is a self-proclaimed Ginger and is using that as leverage so he can say to the black man, “we aren’t so different brother”.
I guess it’s a waste of time to try and make sense of this kid, but it’s obvious he is only doing it for the attention now, since he does the same thing in every video, just yells about stuff it’s hard to believe he would actually be that mad at.
I wonder how long this bit will last! I wager no more than three or four months.
I CAN HAZ DREAM
every so often i emerge from commenting hibernation because a video is so good, and this, my friends, is one of those times.
usually with things like this i’m in camp maybe this isn’t so funny, maybe this kid has serious emotional issues, etc, but coppercab makes me laugh too hard to even consider it.
i know that’s probably wrong of me, but i can’t help it
OH NO YOU GUYS, he deleted the “I HATE YOU BOXXY” video he uploaded shortly after this! it was a GEM. it ended in him screaming “RETRIBUTIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!” luckily i was prescient enough to get a screenshot:
“Honey, I know you are excited because you have the day off from school, but if you are going to yell into the camera, can you please do it outside? Nana’s coming over.” – Copper Cab’s Mom
I sometimes wonder if people every walk by him when he’s filming and what they think is going on if they do.
