i think its not sorta "dean blunt thing" to do, he stated that this conversation is pointless and while being asked about the statement, he gave it. its pretty reasonable to distance yourself from thing you dont agree with.
i mean i totally i agree with im, dont get me wrong. what the person was saying was super pointless and straight up words with no actual meaning. every person has their own experiences and view points and dean was saying his view, and the person in the audience sounded like they were trying to convert dean into making him feel that way too. idk dean had the total right in this i just thought it was funny,@@FaxWax
Not pointing fingers or accusing anyone in the video or comments, but the fact that he said “and if you speak up you’re an angry black man,” only to then be looked at with fear and confronted on all sides, shows how this cycle of watered down platitudes is so normalized all around us. When a reaction like that is achieved, everyones on the precipice of a true breakthrough, but instead he was looked at as if he was a jerk, and everything he said was just for the sake of being contrary or to rile them all up. There is so much potential in what he spoke about. I found the full upload from boiler room after looking it up, but they turned off the comments which i think is a real shame. I bet there was plenty of potential to be found there as well.
Thanks for re-upload. These kinds of curated public discussions make people feel on edge and are not conducive to unity. It's a traumatic emotional topic and this situation brings out a more anxious side to everyone that hijacks intellectual power. The body language is very on edge. Tight voices, shifty eyes, agitation. It's not like people are saying wrong things it's kind of like the energy direction needs a deeper more private and emotionally supportive bedrock than Boiler Room.
Theres no intellectual power here, just people who think they are 'public intellectuals' because of non academic books or art they make. What they need to do is actually find a well respected academic who can actually represent a coherent theory
I think everyone in that room, in one way or another, is aware of their adjacency to “power” in all its forms, and are afraid of saying anything true and impactful beyond the surface level. The bedrock of Boiler Room is definitely making this problem worse. And I think that introducing more hierarchy, as suggested here by bringing in a “well respected academic”, would only add to this problem. A level playing field where all parties are willing to argue and get passionate with each other is good for making new discoveries. @@chaplain6141
Why did they get so aggressive with him? These are supposed to be open, free, respectful spaces no? He was being very civil and made some carefully considered points.
because they’re passionate about the topic and disagreed with him. its unproductive to be hyper-emotional in this situation but it’s not irrational given the situation
@@beachtroll4023 ? if that’s how u interpreted it sure 😂 i just said them being hyper-emotional is unproductive i’m not surprised that they are tho. jus like dean blunt said ppl rioting is hardly accomplishing sht i’m not surprised they did it tho 🤷🏾♂️
man they do not know who dean blunt is, straight up dissing a$ap rocky was a weird point for me and dean agreeing with the lady is very dean blunt of him
@@stabaholic187stoozy, chancer, london tonight freestyle, 16, & he produced purity, gunz n butter, & he has vocals on calldrops which are all tracks on testing.
@@stabaholic187 chancer, 19, stoozy, london tonight freestyle from dean's catalog. dean produced purity and gunz n butter. dean also has vocals on call drops.
i don’t think dean blunt is offering any real actionable solution to any problems here. the only thing he mentions that’s useful is artists may not be equipped to speak on these topics which is ironic 😂
yes he was not giving answers, he was asking questions. even race relations are affected by cultural imperialism, here in Brazil people are often dealing with our racial reality here through an Americanized (as in the US) lenses and that’s counterproductive and useless. Sure understanding the global reality of blackness is also important, as the lady said, we have to imagine a world where black people are free bc so far, they’re not. When he speaks of something deeper (and just as historically real) such as fear of the black body he’s tapping into something that could direct how English blacks could understand their situation without just pretending it is transposable from the US, including its cultural significants of blackness (such as Kendrick’s music). Then he was shut down lol
