Nmplol explains to Knut what it's like to drive while being Black

A recent Nick “Nmplol” stream from yesterday saw Twitch streamer Knut driving, and while they spoke about a number of things, one thing, in particular, stood out. In a moment that was clipped and submitted to the LivestreamFails subreddit, Nick told Knut about what it’s like to drive while being Black, especially in LA.

The two were driving, and Nmplol said the cops could pull them even if they weren’t going fast, and it was a good thing that Knut was behind the wheel.

Knut would sort of nod his head in response, and Nmplol would talk a little about his personal life and growing up. The European streamer had no idea that Nick’s father was white, which was important to the story.

The streamer would inform Knut that that one sentence influenced how he drove, even now. He never speeds because of that statement. He said:

Knut stated that he felt bad for Nick, that he wouldn’t walk around his neighborhood. The Norwegian streamer told him that while not everyone is perfect in Norway, it’s safe to walk around anywhere without much in the way of fear of racist attacks.

Nick would continue to drive with Knut and share some moments of racism that he has had to deal with, even in the neighborhood he currently lives in. It was something that many in the streamer’s chat identified with.

One Redditor in particular thought that, while this was a very important thing to discuss
