Steve Lacy's Anti-Blackness Explained 

Thank you, especially if you made it to the end. It sucks that Steve's are "beefing," but it's good to call out anti-black Black/mixed with Black celebrities. I hope one day he apologizes for what he said back then because it does not make him look good. Lastly, like the video and comment (share the video too)📌

There's something about black men specifically in California that have an aversion of having unambiguously black partners that needs to be talked about lol. Both in hetero and queer spaces. I'm not from there, but I can tell a thing is a thing and it's obvious to ME

if he doesn’t date black men, he for damn sure doesn’t date black women. case closed

Dang dude he has some good music it suck how common self hatred is in our community

I was in love with a bisexual Mexican-American man and he said the exact same thing about Latin men, that they reminded me of his brothers. I'm glad he and I never dated, because I'm part Venezuelan and part Iranian-American, and I'm strongly attracted to both genders of my cultural background. I'd never want to date a self-hating brown person. I'd love to see more famous Black and Brown same gender couples and I really liked Steve Lacy until I discovered this. He's one of the few out bi celebs we have, so this is very disappointing.

First I must say I freaking love Steve Lacy’s music. His last album is so good. With that being said lol your video has shed more light on his anti-Black behavior. I don’t get offended that he chooses to date non-Black men because I can’t force anyone to be physically attracted to Black men; however, I agree with your point that Steve needs to examine why he feels the way he feels. I grew up in a Black-majority city and went to predominantly Black schools (including college) so maybe that’s why I am primarily attracted to Black men. I have dated a few yt/mestizo Latino men in the past but 99.9% of my relationships have been with Black men. I think Steve Lacy’s background might be a factor since he was around more non-Black folks during his formative years. His tweets were ignorant but he was a teenager so I pray he has matured now. I also noticed that folks from Odd Future and/or associated with them (Tyler, Frank Ocean, Steve etc) tend to date non-Black people. As well, they tend to collab or work with light-skinned Black/biracial women (Foushee for example) and woc (Kali Uchis) more than unambiguous Black women especially dark-skinned Black women. They all make great music tho but I’m just sayin lol

Please can you do an antiblackness explained episode on Kendrick Lamar, because his likeness for biracial or non-black women vs the way he portrays black women and objectifies them in his music videos is very irritating. And to see that a huge portion of his fan base are the black women he doesn’t fw is crazy to me

Interesting that men are going through the same thing hmmmmmmmm I really wonder what’s the mindset of these black men and women of a certain tax bracket not dating black people…

noooooooo! I thought we were just gonna talk about the anti-blackness... I am deeply disturbed by that "a hit is a hit" tweet :(. Definitely deleting his music off my streaming platforms despite it happening so long ago. When people show you who they are, we have to believe it. I am not a man, but as a bisexual I think you cover the topic very respectfully. I was trying to find an article I read a while ago by a gay black man who hosted a party and all the black gay men who attended had white partners that they brought with them (including himself), which he thought was interesting and wrote an Op-Ed about (unfortunately I couldn't find it though). This is definitely an issue that is bigger than Steve Lacy, but I think we still need to hold him accountable on an individual level.

Never heard of this guy until watching this but he is from California. Sadly, almost all of the BM from the west coast have this mindset regardless of their sexual orientations. It is notoriously known that in LA, black men are only looking for non-black people to date. It is an epidemic that has unfortunately been passed over & over. The self-hate bm have is astounding. It is one thing to say I have not done that, we have not dated or idk, but to BLANTANTLY shut it down irrevocably is an entirely different phenomenon. They seriously lack any non-superficial clear thought process. These types are usually perpetually childish, lacks emotional intelligence/depth, empathy, or deep objectivity. When we look at it, in the LGBT community there are MAYBE lots more BW with BW relationships than there are BM with BM relationships. 🤔🤔 Anyway, As an ex-Tyler stan, I have far removed my feelings and all from these feeble-minded men years ago. Hope they can one day heal their self-hate.

I was going to ask about his environment but it seems like he was living in a white neighborhood. Correct me if I am wrong. Either way it is not an excuse to talk bad about Black people........ the posts he has made on instagram and twitter is just wow sick 🥲 And the fact that his fans defend his behavior is disgusting as well and giving delusional. But anyways good video as always ❤🥲 always showing proof and lets see how delusional his fans still are LMAO

I hate it when you find out that an artist you like isn’t a great person. He’s just so full of himself and cringey.

As a blasian like Steve lacey black and philipino. I understand the preference to white guys but to COMPLETELY RULE OUT black men is idiotic. I've had major crushes on black men I wish liked me back. More for me though

I’m so disappointed. I don’t think I can listen to him anymore. I used to have a huge crush on him because of his talent but even before seeing the result of your research (thank you so much for it!) I felt hella uncomfy by his latest album because I knew he was singing about white men. Also he is becoming close with Kanye West 🙃

Hey Julian I know this is not about the video. On your next video can you can talk about gina torres. She was talking about how playing African American roles made her feels sad and trapped.

Hey @JulianSteve, I appreciate you making this video as someome who is a fan of Steve Lacy's music. I already found about most of his problematic behaviour before watching this video, but I didn't know about his tweets regarding XXXTentacion and R. Kelly.😬 I also appreciate you calling out on his questionable past. You may be a small content creator, but I'm sure your criticisms and suggestions about Steve Lacy will be heard to everyone who is willing to give this video instead of those who just automatically give this video a dislike, lol.😅

It’s okay for people to have their preferences, but it was unnecessary for him to post it on social media, and be rude about it. As someone who may have influence on others, he’s not sending a positive message. I was a fan of his “Bad Habit” song, now I don’t want to listen to it anymore.

That means he has doubts about his sexuality and he doesnt want to have sex with them because of intimidation and self hatred towards himself in general maybe they stayed bullying him in the hood and can you blame him i can see it like that , he should have asked about the real queens black woman.also i used to work woth a filipino lady she said she would only date white men because of theyre skin and she didnt want he kids to be born dark i found it to be pretty stupid because she was darker skineed Filipino lady.

Call em out Call em out. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

As mixed black queer person this is so bizarre to me especially seeking a partner in close proximity to blackness because I struggle with the lack of blackness in non black potential partners

commenting for the algorithm . important for small creators

Love this video your facial expression have me weak keep up the good work ☺️

Great video 👌🏾 Steve is young so hopefully he grows outta that mindset

Y’all are trolling. This man isn’t anti black. That would be pushing away POC, he just don’t see them as hi bfs

A hit is not just a hit though. When you're selling anything, you yourself are a part of the selling. Most people have feelings and morals. It will affect the listenability of your music if people know how trash of a person you are... There are some musician's music i once loved a lot but cannot enjoy it anymore because of their displayed character/behavior

I think he might feel safer around non bm and probably fear they would expose his business 🤔

Great video! You made great points

A lot of bm don't mess with other bm when they want a come up or if they are on the down low I think bm in general have a bad reputation Or he may also want a man more submissive

I’m sure I have negative feelings towards straight black men. Because of where I grew up (ghetto) they all ain’t shit here fr. I know that isn’t the case everywhere, I know when I meet new people I have to check that bias but I do have it. These are the same guys that would flirt and stare at me when I was only 11, same guys that walked out on the mother of their kids, same guys that run around making our community more unsafe because they like to shoot firearms aimlessly..it’s hard for me to not think about that shit when I see them. I genuinely don’t want to be prejudice tho so maybe y’all can help me see it a different way..?

Great video I really enjoyed it

bro yall cannot be serious, let the man do his stuff how he wants. so what if he has a type or preference, its none of falls business either

These tweets are from 2017; did anybody get an update from him or still going off of some shit when he was a teen? Manz is abt to be 26, what if his preference changed?

Kinda strange because sexuality shouldn’t only be attached to sex 🤔 Also the woman I saw him liking seemed biracial or light skin in “C U Girl”

There is definitely some self hatred there. Even if thats his preference. I bet therapy could help. But my opinion probably dont mean much as a straight man.

Tyler don't date bm either

Wow, I would never expect a black bi man being racist, USA and their artists are a strange world for me

Do childish gambino

Lol I never that song until I got in the car with my weird ass cousin, I didn’t know that was him.

stream gemini rights💯

This is late, but as someone who was involved in ~fandom even back in his group’s earlier days lol. Steve has been with a Black woman and slept with them lol. I have no dog in this fight as a Latina and I no longer stan him. I just lmao wanted to mention that as someone who was aware of…touring things lol. I don’t get what’s up with his issue with Black men tho. It’s weird.

I wouldn’t have known he was blasian til he said it He might have daddy issues 🤔 Also noticed the Janet Jackson instrumental through my headphones 😂

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Is the Nacy thing shade?

1.) He answered a follow up question & he gave his preference. He literally gave you a reasoning to why he chooses not have love interest with black men which might not be the answer you're looking for but its still answered .(rather have him give the truth then lie) 2.) You shouldn't expect lacy to follow up with your excuses. Why would he change up for us ? Let's be real, We wouldn't do the same 3.) This dude Steve made a good point "Tell me what good are you doing for people of color rather than bashing them for preference?" It's a on going cycle of yall bashing this man instead of trying to level with the man himself. At the end of the day, Both ends aren't going to agree with each other so why not just leave it off then trying to drag this dude (Which don't matter because yall do it anyway for the clicks/Likes) 4.) How can he be anti-black when he grew up in a black household and Compton? Yall wanna write this dude off so bad and for all of it to immune to nothing. Lastly, You decided to make a video trying to come at Steve for accountability of his actions but never actually go in detail on how he can change as.person. It seems like more & more everyday this whole cancel culture circle starts to become more toxic everyday. Cancel culture will never amount to anything but only towards negativity. I'm not saying you gotta agree with Steves idealism/preferences on his dating life but you cant judge another man for their lifestyle.

I’m a woman and a heterosexual. I think I can understand what he’s saying to a degree. My husband is Black and I have 3 biracial children from my first marriage. I find all races attractive and haven’t had an issue with attraction or lack thereof to any man based on race. My kids who are young adults ALL say they would not date another biracial person. When I ask why they say it’s because they’d look like brother and sister! They’d date Black, White, Asian or any other, just not biracial. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous but that what they say. Maybe Lacy feels like they are like family, like his brothers and sisters?

I like his music but I don't like him, before or after this video. I wish him well though.

I just found about this im so disappointed i don't like him no more

he is broken

I guess they could be weird but I'm black and I do not want to date black men pacifically for our own personal reasons so I guess I can understand why but everybody has their own demons to deal with

cover up an ena e pat man , cover woth pot in arm.

telling a person what they should be attracted to is actually insane your a weirdo

The Kanye fans worse 😅

I love Beyoncé Ima still talk shit

so does he like black women?…. 😭

i wonder if hes full filipino, or full white or arab, etc.. what he said about not dating his own race/nationality would be considered not as problematic, racist?

is back in 2017 omfg this is literally like what almost 5 years ago and your bringing this up now???????????

Hey! I don’t like how you talking bout me I have my preferences much love tho ✌🏾

It’s called preference people. There needs to be a limit to the extent wokeness can force you to have sex with someone you are not sexually nor physically attracted to. I like girls with curly hair and green eyes, doesn’t mean I am discriminating against every other girl who doesn’t have those features. I just have my preference. Sexual preference is very different and even separate topic than ideological preference and that includes racist ideas. Steve is and should be allowed to be physically attracted to any colour person he pleases without feeling guilt for it. What’s funny is people who tell him he should only date black people also fail to realize that they are fetishizing black folks as if they mere sexual objects only intended to serve as sexual tokens. That’s a form of racism too, you know.

s|t gd pan e bed, a fiwl set mn, brod cks in night.

I thought ihad nothing going for my life? Then i realize there’s people making videos like this oh geez

🍿🍿🍿

I stumbled across your video while researching about Steve lacy. May I ask? Are you LGBT?

He literally has afro hair 😂dude is mostly black 😂

Steve Lacy is still my daddy

i do actually have a question is that will he date a black girl?????? i mean hes bisexual, so he will still date girls, but he never said he wont date black girls, he just said he wont date black guys, so if hes willing to date black girls, then what even is that? clearly thats not racist, and hes not hating on men because hes dating a man, so what the fuck is the situation lmao i guess human society IS complicated indeed
