You leave my Brett Cooper alone, she's my wife and doesn't even know it yet, as some cuckadoodledo said once before he stormed a stage and performed a fake smack across a very popular stand-up comedians mouth "leave my wife's name out yo fukin mouf!" 😤🤣
I’m a BW and not a fan of Candace Owens, but, she’s is dead right about the trash culture. The ‘culture’ upholds and glorifies all the same stereotypes we all fight against🤦🏾♀️
Well, Thomas Sowell is right- they got it from whitey. It is a variation of Ulster Protestant in America Appalachian culture. It is black hickabilly culture, basically. Just because it's in the inner city ghettos and not the trailer parks, doesn't mean it didn't come from Appalachia. And the more evil of the investment class doesn't mind if "white", "brown", and "yellow" folks run with it either, for they already have.
Even people we don’t like can say something agreeable. We kinda have to take the good with the bad even if we don’t like everything else that people have to say sometimes.
One thing that really bothers me about our culture is how if you’re a follower of someone you have to be ride or die. Sometimes I agree with Candace, sometimes I don’t and it’s somehow weird 🤷♀️
It's weird how people expect public figures to be right about everything, get wisdom where and when it comes, that dosen't mean you have to agree about everything, as long as you can agree and work together for the important things, dig deep enough into anyones opinons and you will find things that you will never agree on.
I get the impression that the problem here is that you all think a person must be someone you can agree with 24/7 for you to like them. I find that to be so childish.
Not only is it bad enough that a kid is saying this stuff, but that the adult is encouraging it. If I said anything even close to that stuff at his age, my parents would have washed my mouth out with soap and then made me write 100 times that I would not use bad language. This is sickening.
Vieweronline washing a kid’s mouth with soap is abuse. How about leading by example and being a responsible respectful person. Surprisingly it actually works 😅😅
Back in the day (30s, 40s, 50s, 60s) you didn't leave the house to go into town to do business or whatever without looking nice. They called it Sunday Best for a reason. Now every time I go to the grocery store I see people in pajama bottoms and bonnets at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It's ridiculous.
@@kertagin1I think I'd have said "intense", but I know what you meant! Dude in the yellow in particular! But even with that shockingly bright color, man looked STYLIN'. Every single one of those guys expressed their own fashion sense, (and man, some of those hats!) and their own self-respect, and it was a joy to watch!
To be fair, I feel like the black community is more obsessed with looking “successful” rather than showing the work that goes into success, especially for black owned businesses. They want to look bougie without putting in the work and because of that they don’t learn or teach humbleness and humanity.
Black community is plagued with Nikkaz and two faced nikkaz in suits that profit off the nikkatry inside & out Always look to see whose behind propping up the nikka behavior.
And that's the perception the media is actively selling you. Look around and you'll see lots of normal people of color (not really sure black is a "community."), but they are boring and normal like every other boring and normal person, of all shades, so no, they don't get the press, just like the rest of the "boring community."
I think you will find this is true of a lot of people these days. We seem to live in a world where what you project as having is more important than being a decent kind human being. I don’t think it has anything to do with the colour of one’s skin, because white youth doesn’t strike me as a whole lot different.
@@Sofasurfa I feel like this is most prevalent in the black community and anyone outside with the same mindset are people who are almost always influenced by the “hustle culture” that’s always preached by someone black.
@@roygbiv9038 I have to be fair my observation comes from what I see on the television and what is reported on RU-vid. I now live in a rural village on the northwest coast of England. But I originally come from London and when I was in my twenties it tended to be the yuppies who were the show offs us working class just got on with it. We always have and always will. You rarely find your average blue collar worker involved in this sort of crap we just want to make our lives better and are prepared to work for it. Or a least that’s how it used to be. You leave me be and I’ll leave you be. Seemed to work fairly well back then but now every one thinks they should go in at top rates without serving their time or paying their dues. But I guess I’m just getting the point where I really can’t be bothered with all the crap that’s about these days and I’m sick of my generation being blamed. I brought my kids up decent.
@@davidhowell1415 This is people making a cash grab at the expense of their child. While Buckwheat from the Little Rascals was wholesome, it's the same thing. History repeats itself until people learn from it. To bad education levels are dropping so fast in certain communities that they will never be able to escape this cycle. Those who could are being taught that their 'feelings' matter more than 'facts' with the road to success being paved by how much of a victim they are not that they can obtain what they desire if they work hard and strive to achieve it.
I remember being older than that boy and being caught cussing by my mom. She didn’t exactly beat me, but I was taught that your language does reflect who you are. It wasn’t long after I was on my grandmas porch, a black mother and two children were walking down the street. They were all cussing up a storm. 😮 Then it dawned on me just how unintelligent they looked, and probably were. I decided that I don’t want to look like that to others.
Y’all are soft. Sure language can reflect who you are. But if I talk a certain way and you don’t take time to know me. You’re just making assumptions. The first time I swore. My grandparents wouldn’t come take us to the ER because my sister split her head and was bleeding profusely. I told my grandmother at 11-12 “I DONT EFFING CARE YOURE IN PAJAMAS YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER HAS AN OPEN HEAD WOUND. GET YOUT EFFING ASS HERE NOW!” Swearing is unintelligent huh? Then why was I the only smart one to know my sister would’ve died if my grandma didn’t come immediately? It was not the time to ask nicely.
@johnnoreau3570 in other words it's ok to cuss when it's the same level of urgency as a head split open. Could you explain to the class how that relates to walking down the street in a nonchalant manner?
Men used to wear suits. It wasn't considered fancy. It was the way we dressed. Only farmers and factory/construction workers didn't, but most owned one or two for church and other activities.
True. You might need a suit for the office or for church, but if you're doing dirty labor most of the week, easier to typically wear clothes that can take that wear and tear.
Actually, suits were the norm for everybody, even the farmers and the factory workers. So much so, that when denim jeans came out, you were looked down upon if you wore a pair of them outside the home
I agree with both you and Candace, what baffles and annoys me is why a large part of the black community celebrates and admires the basest elements of human nature. This is not a part of the "Black Culture" which at it's highest is noble and all encompassing, nurturing and beautiful, sometimes I weep for the children caught up in this mess.
wut?... this is 100% exactly how anyone would describe black culture in north america.. violent, cocky, uneducated, rude, glorifying the worst parts of society.. hell even the guys in the suits were mostly posing like gangsters and throwing up gang signs...
@@seniormale Which country? I've never met anyone from an African country (and I've met many) who behaved that way. This example is just the thinnest slice of this segment of American culture. In some ways, the entire American society - all levels - is operating at a much lower level than 50 years ago. As usual, the bizarre and grotesque is what gets media attention. All the rest is treated as boring and uninteresting. Watching this youngster riding the fast downward slope is just heartbreaking.
What's really sad is that this kid didn't really know what he was saying, he was just repeating what the grownups were telling him to say. But give enough time in that environment he will understand and even start to believe it, and eventually start acting like it. I really hope someone with some commen since comes along and becomes a positive influence in his life.
I saw it change between 1987-1993. Look how black culture was before and look at what it turned into after. The way we looked and acted, or the music we had before seems almost like from another universe! We almost looked and behaved like kids from some posh part of the country, even those of us that were low-income! My dad was in his 30s in the 80s, and always looked put together...Jerry curls and all.
What do you think caused the changes? I'm not American so I can't comment outside of movies and TV but I do remember shows like the Cosby show which did present middle class, smart, educated black families which I thought was great.
@@alsmith9853 it was the very powerful promotion of black criminality and sexual immorality through "music",this class of blacks finally found a way out of there cicumstances,not through education or business creation ,but through selling there crime infested lives and there broken realities through rap.Once the music industry saw the financial potential in this rubbish,it opened the gates of hell.Most of these rappers are in reality glorified pimps,and drug dealers who have a vehicle to express there dysfunction.I am not saying that all was well before rap,it wasn't but this terrible energy of rap and all that it represents is a major part of the problem.
It is sad. There are still intelligent, put together black people today, but seems to be less than it was twenty or so years ago. It baffles me that if a black person speaks proper english, they are accused of talking like "white people", which implies that speaking intelligently is a white thing, when in reality, speaking intelligently is NOT a white thing. It's also insulting that some people think black people all HAVE to sound the same, look the same, and like all the same things. Oh you're "not black enough". Wtf does that mean? That's ignorant BS. I know it's shocking to some people, but not all black people like rap music. Some like rock, metal, country, classical, etc. Nothing wrong with that. I also have seen and known some gothic black people and they always looked so damn good. I love the color black and seeing black people wearing all black and rocking a goth style or whatever looks good to me. It also looks nice when black people (and any race really) looks put together, wearing something modest or nice without showing underwear, butt crack, boobs, or genitals.
I completely agree with Candace and I feel so bad for that child I really do he has no idea what he’s doing. He doesn’t know any better those ““ adults should be deeply deeply ashamed of themselves.
@@finfrog3237reminds me of a cousin that had a dad in an out of jail. Then a step dad. Mom acting like a wanna be thug. Kid knew nothing about the good life. Nothing!!! Yeah that family is brainwashed into thinking that culture is THE best life to experience. They’re dirt poor and have achieved nothing years later.
Years back there was a white kid that made headlines for a sec cause he was hosting a kids targeted talk show on the internet that his parents set up that was basicly teaching white power and hate all other races. Everyone that heard the crap that kid said agreed that no one should hate on the kid he didn't know any better... this kid isn't any different, he never had a chance to think differently... hopefully as his critical thinking and life experiences develops he will see the lies and garbage he is spewing.
@@MartiG83 Nah, the saddest part is that those fools think they're being "edgy," when anyone with any sense at all just thinks it's cringeworthy. Poor kid doesn't have a chance of ever knowing decency.
The 9yo rapper’s parents need to be investigated. They might be showing him corn or molested him (or arranging for others to abuse him). A child should not have sexually explicit language in his vocabulary, period. That’s legitimately a potential sign of sexual abuse!
@@2013lovemynot always, kid could be listening to more trash culture rap, or watching shit like South park. I was 9 and knew words cause of Southpark and other adult cartoons. It should be investigated cause what they doing is abuse
Black people also throw rocks at Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell. They even call Mr. Elder the Black face of White supremacy. How disrespectful of two men who worked hard to get their share of the American dream. Reminds me of hearing some BS about how basketball is the whole world to some young Black children in the inner city, because it represents a way out. Getting an Education represents a way out. Damn. You are on point as usual Leon. Thank you.
Larry elder has many good points, but he's blinded by his Conservative values in many instances, and Thomas sowell at this point, after hearing so many bad takes from the guy, is a pseudo intellectual that doesn't deserver half the respect that people like u give him

I'm not the biggest fan of Candace Owens, and I disagree with her on a few points but this is one particular point I agree with her on. They wanna cry about good representation in media, but then want to glorify the stereotypes as, "We takin' it back!" Or "It's part of our culture!" I remember these same idiots said shit like Idris Elba in Luther not being "Black enough" which is the kind of shit I heard growing up and still put up with for calling this fatherless, unemployed behavior out.
@@sayLeotardbutsayitChinese Holy fuck don't get me started on that goddamned show and DiReCtUh X. I find it funny he blocked me on Twitter for fairly critiquing the first couple episodes of his show and calling his LED masks and tarps the cast wears discount Dollar Tree techwear.😂
@@SamanthaBryan2877 I get that from most of these fans these days who are less fans and more fan-atics who have this rhetoric that if you're a fan of something you have to agree with EVERY SINGLE PART of whatever you're a fan of. Like how I enjoy H.P. Lovecraft. Does that mean I agree with how the author is considered pretty out there in his racism even for his time? Nah, it means I'm a fan of the existential, cosmic horror of his stories. Saying you love pancakes doesn't mean you hate waffles.
I went through a huge rap phase as a kid, thanks to my older sisters. Then life hit me with a brick and I became a Metalhead and contrary to belief most bands can be good positive role models especially with kids dealing with a lot of anger. Howard Jones of Killswitch Engage fame is a good role model for any youth because how humble he is and he's a fantastic singer.
Same, my sisters (I'm the middle child)love rap but I love rock. They call me weird, which I shrug off because at least the guy I'm listening to isn't promoting roofing women and shooting people. I personally love Breaking Benjamin. I look at the life my sisters lead and wonder if they think living life like their favorite music is a great thing
@@orangefacedbuddah1776 lol yeah I've got the flu and was on enough night time medicine to knock a horse out. So spell checking wasn't exactly my strongest point
Yeah, a lot of metal and rock, though some cuss (which I don't mind) usually have relatable messages. Most of the ones I've listened to, and still listen to, aren't promoting murder, SA, drugs, and all that other crap. Long ago, a friend of mine mistakenly thought Slipknot was stupid because they cussed, but then she actually listened to the lyrics and realized there was a lot of meaning there and that these guys weren't stupid.
theres a reason some people consider black "culture" and those who treat it like an icon utterly lost. Owens is right on this, but she will by no means be the last, and was damn sure not the first. until stuff like this isn't stereotypically associated with that skin tone, it's gonna be a weight on the neck...
@headshotmaster138 the ones I recall most was she once wanted to create a website, back when she was a leftist, that basically doxxed people she considered to be "harassers" online. The other was a Joe Rogan Interview where she claimed climate change wasn't real. Not like, there's misinformation about climate change, but like straight up that the whole thing was fake. And at the time I had started liking her more, but that whole agonizing back and forth just had my head in my hands like "holy fucking shit, shut the fuck up for your own good!" Lol
It's not laziness... it's hopelessness... I'm not from The Chi, ( I'm from NYC) but I watched a documentary on how Chicago was designed & maintained...black ppl were intentionally marginalized by white law makers... y'all never stood a chance... systemic racism that still thrives today So you can't call ppl lazy... y'all don't dictate no policies when it comes to the economy or housing in your city... that's all white ppl...who don't gaf about you 🤷🏾♂️
So, if a kid that gets to rap like he's being featured on a Lil' Durk song is "a part of the culture", wouldn't it make sense to get rid of behavior like that so we can grow as a community? Oh, wait...that's problematic. I shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that. My bad. Also... I'm liking that shirt, Leon.
I'm a white liberal guy and like most white people on the political left I try to understand and oppose racism and how it effects black people. Where I differ from other leftists is that I don't attribute every problem black people expereinces to "white supremacy". Culture plays a role too and hood culture is absolutely poisonous to black people. There are things black people can do to deal with some if their problems so they don't have to wait around for white people to tear down "white supremacy". I've seen inner city black people talk about "generational trauma" and how that holds them back. That's fine but now what are they going to do about it?
The inflection point for all of this was Obama's "If I had a son he would look like Treyvon Martin" speech. The "culture" and acceleration of the focus on race and blackness exploded outward from there. It was present before, but direct endorsement from the first black president solidified it as the "truth".
One thing that always got me, growing up in baltimore, is seeing people with really nice cars, with really expensive rims, really expensive paint jobs and systems.. but.. they still live with Mom or live in a run-down neighborhood in a crappy apartment.. You got $400 shoes (which is dumb AF!) but your fridge is empty! Gold chains and diamond earrings, and way behind the electric bill.. Priorities are all messed up! Im 40, still own my rundown highschool clothes, have had teeth pulled because its a fraction the cost of a root canal, but i OWN my now paid off house! I went without, so my 4 kids bellies stayed full, our bills stayed paid, me and wife shared 1 old vehicle, I break my back at work and my wife helped the kids with schooling. Priorities
A 9 year old The woman that encouraged this Is literally sexualizing a child That’s gotta be a crime I remember when people were upset kids were even in these rap videos
@@orangefacedbuddah1776 Exactly. I heard some old school gay men and drag queens talk about how the drag shows would come to a screeching halt if they spotted a child, and wouldn't continue until the child was gone. Back then, drag shows and other shows were for ADULTS and not kid friendly. But today, these "new" gays and drag queens wanna shove their asses and crotches in front of literal children. It's gross.
A lot of people are becoming Candace Owens fans. Her base is growing by the day. We’re sick and tired of degenerate culture being promoted, and it’s so refreshing to see such a strong character take a stand against it, regardless of the backlash that comes with it. First, you start by saying “I don’t always agree with Candace, but..” Then you keep saying it over and over, as she has more good takes, and you realise that you’re just a fan of hers.
I have to disagree with your second statement. Even if your not a fan you can agree and disagree and there is nothing wrong with that. But in this case I do agree💁🏽♀️
If he's a skilled rapper at that age, he could probably do with a good producer and some writers for his lyrics, to make them both appealing and age appropriate, and he'd be in a much better space in terms of his development
That one dude with the gloves and the top hat. That was amazing. As someone who likes old fashioned classy dress styles, I wish we had a chance to wear our best stuff publicly instead of at a Renaissance faire once or twice a year.
I work with a young, early 20s, black woman who is sweet, fragile and obviously had abuse in her past (and maybe present, who knows). We work in hospitality and she came from a pretty low brow restaurant to ours which is upscale casual in an affluent area. She didn't finish high school. She's very insecure. But she's not unintelligent at all, she just has no belief in herself. At all. It's heartbreaking. I was paying out a table that had an amex platinum card and she commented that she wished she could have one. I replied you can, you just need to apply for one of their intro cards, use it wisely, pay it off, and if you spend enough money a year and pay it (as there's a threshold you have to meet) they will invite you to apply for a platinum card. She immediately replied "oh I'll never get one then." And I was a little stunned and said why? She said I spend all the money I get. To which I told her that she works at a restaurant were she'll be able to make enough to save and invest. She said "it doesn't matter how much I make, I spend it, it's a Hood thing. I don't want to talk about it." So of course I kept pressing and said why would you make purposefully destructive choices for yourself, your future, your possible kids by immediately rejecting any notion of responsibility for your financial actions? "It's just what we do. It's the Hood thing." You can be from the Hood, and not BE of the Hood. "I know. I don't want to talk about it." I'm stubborn about people who clearly are their own enemy and I told her, very kindly and with a lot of compassion, that her success or lack thereof is entirely in her power, and she'll have no one to blame if she's always paycheck to paycheck. She works someplace that if she does well she will make a good living and meet people that can open opportunities for her. She probably thinks that because I'm not her color I don't understand. She doesn't know I was homeless for a decade. She doesn't know I've had to beg for money and steal food. Or that I've worked up to making close to 6 figures. But because I understand all of that and the work and pain that goes into it, it hurts when I see people dig their grave and pile the dirt on top of their own selves.
Well said. What's pathetic is "Hood culture" has made it acceptable in the black community to be the lone victim or poor little me or us. And that economic and social insecurities are only a hood or ghetto thing. And other Americans don't know what that is....😢
We are trained from birth that the world hates us and for some it’s a self fulfilling prophecy. My wife and I are black from Chicago but despite being raised by a single mom, she’s the smartest, most level headed person you could ever meet and she helped me ditch that mentality.
@@JK-nq1dl I'm glad you have such a blessing in your life, and that she helped you shake those bonds of defeat from your shoulders. I'm still working on my coworker. Small baby steps.
While i'm not the biggest Candice Owens supporter, she's been absolutely spot on about the problem with "Black Culture" and other issues that plague this generation and society. I'm from the hood and grew up listening to everything (from Gangsta Rap, electronic music, punk and death metal) but none of it influenced my upbringing because i had great role models and positive influences. this generation is is in trouble!
I'm the same, I listened to both hard core rap and hard rock, but none of it caused me to embrace drugs, violence etc because I had nothing but responsible adults around me growing up.
The thing with Candace Owen’s is she’s definitely not exploiting the Black community to make $ I’ve followed her career for years & what she’s saying has never changed, she’s not changing her narratives to match current trends which she could easily do & make lots of $ but no she’s been 💯 consistent with what she says from day one & if you actually listen & listen properly she cares deeply about the Black community, she hates the fact that a lot of the time the community confirms certain stereotypes & she knows & is fighting for the Black community to live up to their potential, if you don’t like Candace Owen’s read some Thomas Sowell this intellectual Man has written a number of books that are factually correct & the knowledge to be gained from reading his books will change your life
I am sorry I dont even know why I am so invested in the black American community, I am a random brazilian woman who had never set foot in US 😂 BUUUUT even I that have nothing to do with this subject have noticed that: when a black person dresses well, speaks well, is succeeding in their lives, other black people go saying "youre acting white/ looking white", and they meant to offend like doing good is wrong or a bad thing to do AND like black people cant do better. It doesnt make sense!! Sorry for intruding the community guys 😅
No don’t apologize! It’s nice when people outside the community (or heck even outside the country) are saying the same stuff that some on the inside have been saying for ages! It shows us that others care.
I’m a 64 year old white woman who lives the other side of the Atlantic and I agree with you. I’m not sure why I feel so invested. I think it is because nobody likes to see the harm done to a community by a group of misguided, ill informed, bitter individuals. They talk about this rap as being so important to and for black culture, when all they need to do is look to the past at all the incredible people they could have as role models. They need to understand that all modern music has its roots firmly planted in Black history that is the culture they should look to. Also rap isn’t that new Cab Calloway was scating back in the thirties and talking over a beat goes even further back. But the rap I remember and enjoyed is a product of the eighties and it bears no resemblance to the violence of modern rap. You certainly wouldn’t of heard a nine year old boy saying the things that this young man says. These young people need to look to their elders and relearn what respect means.

When democrat politicians see the video of the little boy rapping, you know they're rubbing their hands together saying with a grin "All according to plan. When he gets Floyd'd by a cop, we'll get way more voters! Hahaha!"
A lot of people shun the truth because it’s coming from someone they don’t “like” it’s a childish sentiment and a huge part of every problem humanity faces.
Should look up the two 6 year olds or so dancing with realistic looking guns and holding money in the other hand, while adults are partying with them that's been going viral lately.
Those young suits were the product of mentorship, and clearly people care about their success. I ran into a a young Kevin Samuels who put me on to “Suit Saturdays”. Wear ‘em on Sunday, too. When you look good, you feel good, and good things happen.
the worst part is if they wanted the kid to rap they could have easily done nerdcore. hell there are multiple pokemon cyphers from artist here on yt. yes they are vulgar and not pg but those artist are grown men and women in their mid 20's and up. but the concept is literally music about a fictional subject.
It’s wild how little they care about their kid. And then 10 years down the line when he dies to some gang violence, they’ll be shocked and “sad” when they literally did it
Representation has to be representative. Not driving a skewed or false narrative but an accurate representation of the demographic, including the good, the bad, and the ugly.
We have a major culture issue in “The West” at present. It isn’t just an issue in the black community - it is a problem in all communities - it just shows itself in different ways within each community. There is a pandemic of mental health issues, a pandemic of educational failures, and social media has seemingly just removed the inner morality-meter in many of our society. By “The West” I don’t just mean the USA. I mean western society as a WHOLE…. That means Canada, USA, U.K., Western Europe, Australia & NZ.
Charliestar. Don’t compare Europe to USA. We don’t have school shootings. Shootings in shopping centres. Kids rapping shit. People going into medical debt is unheard of.

@@CharliStar No you don’t need to continue but you do need to be less negative. I live in the UK to and you are not describing a country that I recognise. If this is your experience of our country my heart aches for you. The west is currently suffering from a surfeit of what about me, when instead we should be thinking what can I do to help improve things. It’s the I’m alright Jack, and the well nothing is ever going to change mentally that we need to move away from. If you see a problem don’t just complain about it on the internet get active go into local politics fight for change try to persuade people that there is a better way. But no most sit behind their keyboards grumbling and occasionally grudgingly they go out and put a tick in a box for the party they favour instead of taking an interest and researching does this candidate represent what I believe in. Oh but first you have to believe in something. I believe we can be better, we can do better and that we as a species will do better because the majority of us do not behave like Barbarians!
@@Sofasurfa not sure where you live in U.K. but around London - that is the experience I have had…. Maybe if you had the life I’ve had - you would be feeling the same way too…. But, If you think the world can be changed because of Politicians, you are sadly a lost cause, they are just two sides of the same crappy coin of corruption. The world is not the fluffy sunshine and rainbow place people like you make it out to be. Your mention of the “what about me” era we find ourselves in - is the Culture issue I speak of… the mental health crisis too… No one cares about what is best to improve life for everyone anymore - covid and social media has made people care only about themselves and what is best for them personally - never what is best for the wider expanse of people around them. If you don’t think that is a problem - that is on you. I think it is a major problem. I am also severely disabled/ unwell with an incurable illness - there isn’t a whole lot I can actually do other than sit on a keyboard and type how I feel lmaoooo…. My entire life has been wasted because I am a medical mystery…. I would love to be out doing stuff to better the world or even just the U.K. - but the universe decided I wasn’t allowed to do any of the things I had planned for my life, it took all those things away from me. So maybe I have a slightly different outlook on life to you…. That’s just the way this world works..!
This reminds of that AI rapper from a couple of years ago. Black people were in an uproar because it was mocking black "culture" and racist for using the n word. I thought it was stupidly hilarious because the rapper was acting exactly how they act, and seeing the hype for this little boy and Sexxy red just proves that point.
Regardless of what you want, you are the minority here, more black people want this representation, that’s why sexy red is successful, that’s why RT is successful. It IS part of the culture end of story, regardless of how much you wish it wasn’t. My friend did a pose where she crouched and did prayer hands and she was ripped to pieces for imitating black culture because it was a pose commonly done by black men in prison. Prison drugs violence and guns is what they claim to be black culture. Make your peace with it because it’s never gonna change until they do.
I am so glad we are finally addressing these things. That at least some black folks have decided what we have accepted as "black culture" for the last 30 years has been detrimental. We need a name for this movement. Its basically red pill but for black folks. Somebody get creative real quick.
I, being a white dude, had no idea this dressing up and standing in a line was even a thing, but those men look sharp, or 'fly' as the kids would say, and I'm kind of jealous. I will never attain that level of 'swagger'. Looks like a positive thing to me. Especially if they were to also dress up their kids and let them be a part of it. I think Candace is an overall good for her community, but she tries to be edgy to get those clicks on topics outside of it, and sometimes says some real stupid crap.
I haven't listened to that little 6 year old "rapping" about shit I know would make my jaw drop, but I looked it up on TikTok and so many people supported it, but I did see one comment near the top that said, "Cocofelon". Also, the number of little Black girls and boys I've seen on my TikTok with, thankfully, no views, of the girls twerking and the little 7 year olds throwing up gang signs is INSANE.
man I grew up in a small ghetto town in ohio and live in a ghetto side of vegas, now. As I teen I was taken in by my grandparents in the suburbs I didn't fit in for shit and I remember kids saying I wanna get out of this town when I lived in Ohio then in the suburbs kids acted hard when I pulled up on my ghetto side they piped down real quick and I'm white AF but southern. Goes to show kids and parents are writing checks their mouths can't cash but the ass beatings will.
Black role models who don't allow their skin color to be an excuse, even though they focus on their own communtities, still have a positive impact on everybody. I'm not the same color as Denzel Washington but I still look up to the guy and respect his message. This woke washing has made it difficult to cross the skin barrier, I bet it makes people paranoid to even talk to the other guy.
I just going to tell you, it's going to get worse. I'm in my 50s and seen stupid crap since I was a kid. I stopped caring a long time ago. I have other stuff to worry about.
