Once again hit the nail right on the head. He swiped his card and gave his ID and they said no way *this* black man has all this money. The pregnant black woman that signaled the police did exactly like she's been taught her whole life, create mental limitations to stop our progress. I truly feel sorry for the child she's about to bring into this world. A man almost lost his life because of inability to see greatness in her own black skin.
Exactly! You are telling nothing but the truth. The saddest part of this all is that she was black herself..smh how can we view each other like that? Smh
@@sheilae.9670 easy its called conditioning or Willie Lynch Syndrome dating back to slavery. In retrospect it means pitting all of us against each other. Light vs Dark, young vs Old, and men vs women. Just because slavery is over (in one sense) doesn't mean the mentality has left us. We were never treated for PTSD
@@TheConnonedrum wow, never thought about that. Thanks so much for breaking it down in explaining it. It seems like it's just going to keep getting passes on from generation to generation. What a sad reality
@@sheilae.9670 no worries. A lot of things that we need to know we must teach ourselves which is why we need to read more books that were written by people that look like us. Going to these schools is okay, but there are two old sayings. One, a child only educated by school is an uneducated child and second the best way to keep your child from learning their own history is by teaching someone else's to them first.
@@TheConnonedrum There is a great book written by Dr. Joy Degruy which dives into this PTSD that you mentio. Infact cross generational PTSD. The book is called Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome and I highly recommend it. Great reading!
Ryan had his ATM card Ryan had his PIN number Ryan had his ID I'm so sadden this happened to him. I fear this for my son as he grows up in this world 🌎
This is exactly what I said, no policies were followed. I've been a customer service manager for 20 years. We know to go get the full story because usually the rep has missed some steps. That's why we are the manager. Both of them need to be replaced. 💯
@@fah232 Then have the nerve to cry WHITE MAN..the same white man shakes his own head seeing how some of our inferiority complex seems to blossom right before their eyes and they capitalize on it...smh..some of our people are truly a disgrace to our culture.
Very articulate observations from DLHugely. It’s no wonder he’s a great comedian, as good comedians are very intelligent, and able to describe social dynamics. And he is exceptional at explaining the social dynamics involving the painfully slow progress of institutional racism. I’m a fan and we’re fortunate to have people like DL in this world.
Exactly and sad part some black people would dislike him because he is stating facts that they can't handle only because they probably fit the narrative of what he is speaking of.
Sad thing was it was a black pregnant woman who saw him as a threat. When he had all the proper paperwork. You know she got fired and now the bank could have a big money lawsuit on their hands.
Did she get fired for sure or are you speculating, because she should have got fired. If that was a white woman blacks would be wanting her to lose her job.
It's unbelievable & ridiculous that a bank would not have a discreet system in place for when customers need to withdraw a large amount of THEIR OWN cash?! Q: What's the NORMAL procedure routinely followed for large cash withdrawals? WHY wasn't it applied in this case? A: Most probably Karenicity, racism, incompetence + horrible customer service. Solution = Practice excellent, 1st class customer services *with all black, minority & white customers, equally,* and follow your own company's procedures. Or face lawsuits.
There is a discreet measure in place. It's called not overreact and racially profile. Had they treated him with respect, that transaction would have been handled discreetly.
Some of us are so conditioned we view each other as threats. This was absolutely tragic for this to happen. We have some black "Karens" that need to be dealt with as well. DL, you are absolutely correct, there is no such thing as "black on black" crime. You tent to commit crimes against people you are around.
Yep! It goes both ways...i see bm online all day downing black women n lifting up non black women to marry based off negative stereotypes. Its crazy some view their own n a negative way for no real reason at all
What makes you think that he was singled out because he was a black man? Ryan had on a skull cap,dark shades and of course he was wearing a mask. He handed her a note and automatically she felt threatened. It would have happend to a white guy as well. Remember that this bank services black clients all day during business hours.
STOP IT! He's threat to who? Most of the interaction between the Races not controlled are the form of employment, housing and entertainment. Otherwise, it's a Criminal Act. Thus ALL Black Men are judged by the behavior of a few. All people view Black Men in a negative light. Even African-Americans.
I can't help but think, who robs a bank for $12k? And gives the teller their id? Most banks have protocols in place for larger than average transactions. This transaction should've been moved to a specific teller or office to commence. And to think, he's in Atlanta filming the sequel to one of the highest grossing movies ever made. It appears that the teller never looked up his account where she would've seen a very large balance. She saw a black face and a note to be discreet and boom, "I'm being robbed.“ And as if the cops being called on him, being handcuffed and paraded through the bank, interrogated, and being told to calm down wasn't enough humiliation; even after they knew who he was after running his I'd, he had to ask for them to remove the cuffs. The cops on scene never apologized to him but just tried to justify the ordeal. I must say that this situation would've gone differently for many, many people. The anger. The disrespect. The humiliation. It's infuriating. This arrest and detainment could've easily pushed someone to use profanity and resist arrest out of pure frustration and anger which we all know would've looked guilty or out of control to many but would've been a justified response. However, I'm glad he didn't resist or react out of control because that would've caused the typical response from law enforcement which in most cases ends with brutality or murder.
I'm sure this was not the first time he has withdrawn that much money with no problem before. Why now?!?!. Thank you D.L. for speaking truth to power!.
Man, I absolutely LOVE his content and he always hits the nail on the head, but I gotta admit....that very last part had me DYING -- "one minute, it's wakanda forever, next minute, it's ni**a for now" 🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭
I don't mean no disrespect to anyone of us. But until we come together in unity and stop letting liberal white people DEMOCRATS me too and black lives don't matter continue to control our narrative. WE AIN'T GONNA NEVER BE ABOUT NOTHING! and no matter how much money and fame you got other than GOD ALMIGHTY to them you just another N-word.
@@mocancer8485 oh, trust and believe that I'm fully aware of how serious he was, it was just a comical twist behind it as well, and that comical twist is the painful reality
He was owed an opportunity to explain any discrepancy the teller felt existed...as a former banker, she should not have had the authority to place the call to 911 on her own!
He also put his card and PIN number in, also showed his ID. Totally disgraceful and unprofessional.. The teller also told her manager that she thought he had a gun! Totally Karen
@Alfjamxa, the account was never flagged she based her reaction on how he looked. If you listen to the 911 the dispatcher asked her did she very his identity like bank card , pin number etc.She said yes the dispatcher advised her this does not sound like a robbery but she insisted that he was along with the manager. IJS
D.L. as usual you speak the truth. My sister told me of a statistic that until the age of seven little black boys are seen by white teachers (primarily female) as "cute and cuddly" and then from "8yrs on up" seen as "threatening" and I have witnessed this to be true. I watched the new remake of the movie "Cheaper By the Dozen" with Gabrielle Union and Zach Braff and one of the extremely good points that was made was how we as black adults and children are seen and viewed by the world. This is why black parents worry when their children go off to school in the morning and pray that they arrive back home safely.
Charity begins at 🏠..when their kids are well behaved and home trained they will never have to worry about get called at work but all the great upbringing doesn't stop a racist person's heart nor thought process of how they view their children...as Malcolm X said "Only a fool will allow their children to be taught by their enemies".
Even if though he was profiled, he had a deposit slip. That could be easily verified along with I.D that banks always require. This mess should not have happened.
DL, idk how you do it but it is always a pleasure to allow you to speak words that stir the soul and evoke deep reflection. I experience a different approach to thinking with each topic you speak. Enlightening, provocative yet always on point. Thank you.
A threat is a note that says " Give me all your money " , you won't get hurt if you just do as I say! That is a threat! He was withdrawing his own money! Just because he was black man doesn't mean he's dangerous! Thank you DL! May God give those 2 women some wisdom to know the difference between a customer and a robber! Amen! In Jesus name 🙏
Those women with mentalities like that can't allow any spiritual intervention because the demon of ignorance governs their 💭 process on a daily..they will literally perish with that mentality
As you stated DL, many of our people here are morally and mentally bankrupt..This is the same reason why many of them won't travel to an African country for vacation, but won't hesitate to travel to a European country..The same people who oppress us, you run to with open arm, but afraid to be around millions of black beautiful people who look like you and are you..Someone make it make sense for me. 🤔🤔💔
We as black people are a threat to each other no matter how great we are and how much we may inspire each other, the most powerful thing you could ever do is inspire, especially as a black man or woman, but a corrupt mind is a corrupt mind. I’ve seen black people get inspired by the same person they would later on become threatened by all because they exude confidence, and the more confident that person became the more threatening that other person became and that threat turned into hate.
And even more disappointing was that a black woman with a black child growing in her belly was the teller who initially escalated the situation and another black woman was the branch manager who called the police.
Question for the teller; what bank robber would give you his bank card and ID. Her lack of common sense and poor judgement could have gotten this brilliant man killed.
I love your wit! You’re a Black/African American male born first, in America! That insight mixed very well and genuinely with your natural comedic gifts later in life. You always had both gifts! Didn’t know you do tattoos as much. It fits your human being growth. Bad little DL to DL 2022! Gotta love a human like that. “You’re A Winner” Mr./ Bother Hugley! You inspire many (globally). 🌎🌎 Great example about how to live your way! He’s achieved that realm of life and shares how we can do it too! 👍🏿
This is what happens when people aren’t held accountable for their actions, don’t matter what color you are if you don’t follow bank procedure then something should happen to you not get a pat on the back for doing the wrong thing. Like D.L. said..What if that man had lost his life? You should be held to a higher standard when you have a responsibility like that.
Black on Black crime is not just shooting each other in Chicago, but it’s how we see each other in our own neighborhoods. Malcom X called this a result of psychological violence that our American experience has left us with. Let’s do better family!!! ✊🏿
The black on black crime stigma is a term created to DEHUMANIZE black people. It's a BRAINWASHING tactic which suggests that black people are inferior, threatening and more dangerous than everyone else. It is a label that's only used against black people. In REALITY, people of EVERY ETHNICITY kill their own. It's a PROXIMITY issue.
This is sad it's bad enough that we as black people get miss treated by others but to have this type of treatment from our own is really sad I'm not surprised by it just saddened by it.
If I wanted to withdraw $12000 from a bank and I wanted to be discreet. My thought would be to ask the bank manager to go into an office so the bank manager could provide the money. All this damn drama about NOTHING.
Initially thought a recurrence of the black Panthers. I was elated it was back. Read the story n cried. Why it's always us looking down on us. Would another race have come to same conclusion?😔🥀 great perspective DL👍🏽✌🏽
I am sorry that this horrible event happened to him. Yet his minute decision on not recasting the first black superhero will lead millions of kids heartbroken to witness their superhero killed on screen.
I agree with a lot you said with this situation. The teller said that she was scared and pregnant, and was the reason she called the police. So, if she was that scared why you doing teller worker. This is sad. Oh and he didn’t create Black Panther. I think he did the screenplay and directed it.
TEACH DL!!! The way that you speak is how I as a black woman want to hear a black man speak (bold, articulate, accurate, communication). WHEN YOU HAVE THE BEST (A BLACK MAN) YOU DON'T NEED/WANT THE REST!!!!!!!
Remember certain people in power wants to stay in power... Most of them are sick in their concepts and ethnics toward black and brown people. In nut shell, we have to be very creative and have multiple strategies in building our concepts, our principles, our financial base, for our family and the next generation .. Look at as a game, however , we must continue to build and not allow our left hand know what is in our right hand... Master John Henrik Clarke was so wise and he left us with many books to read...
No matter what race she is first she should lose her job second he should file suit against the bank for character assassination and put his life in danger 😔
💯 agreed..but he is too classy for that...I would even want him to personally invite her to his next premiere so that will eat at her ignorant conscious even more.
Not only did he give her the note and withdrawal slip, but he gave his PICTURE ID AND HIS BANK CARD!!! I could understand if she said can you pull down your mask so I can verify your identity, but NO!!! Let me call the police because I lack common sense
This sister should be held accountable..It goes to show she saw her own as a threat. I hope the child she is carrying is not a male. She almost got one of her own killed. We talk about Karen we have to start calling out these Kesha's. Watch the body cam footage,he actually gave her his bank card, pin #, and driver's license.
Na Kesha or kishas are normally cute and won't do ISH like that..let's call her exact name which is ERICA GLASS, she don't represent all black women at all
It is indeed tragic that that happened to him. Happens to people of color on the regular. But more important questions to address is why did this happen on January 7, 2022 but the news didn’t drop until March 7, 2022? And why is Ryan Coogler NOT pressing charges against B of A, an institution KNOWN for profiling blacks? The answers will raise more questions. Probably why they aren’t being asked.
Wow that's interesting because how do they hire the very culture that they are notorious for racially profiling?..to the fact that this very action occurred with one of us actually doing the profiling...
@@mocancer8485 Probably an attempt to clean up their reputation? And we KNOW all skinfolk ain’t kinfolk. But again, why are we JUST hearing about this? It happened 2 months ago. Usually news like this drops the same day. Not a peep for two months. why SIT on this story?
Crab behavior was only one of the things white man installed in our behavior over 500+ yrs. Pavlov: conditioning, took 500 + yrs to take effect. We destroy self, we hurt each other, we have become our enemy. 💔 So quickly after BLM, we destroy self, we are not speaking on THAT💯 Reconditioning is needed. 🧠 we must do it our selves, because we have no alliance in this world but God.
