Best Posts in Thread: Must Watch: Joyner Lucas - I'm Not Racist

I have to admit when I first saw this video on my social media timeline, I only got about two minutes in and closed the video until my friend told me to watch the entire thing. I get the message but I don't know how much good it will do. I firmly believe that if you have to preface a statement with I'm not racist, then you should probably examine what you are going to say or do next. Because 9 times of 10 its probably something racist. I think when people start to realize that the system is designed for the richest among us will we actually make strides on the racial front. People at the top are creating artificial divisions among the poor, poor blacks and poor whites. Even middle-class blacks and whites. I think sometimes we forget that when Dr. MLK marched on Washington he was marching for jobs and freedom, not black people or white people. He recognized that the system was working against both peoples.

 

Im pretty checked out with "message" and topic of the video as a whole.

The Make America Great Again hat, the supposedly "hood" black man. Both extreme examples of the way American black and white people stereotypically view each other. We get it!!!

Not only do we get it, we have gotten it for some time. The reality is very few people care. You are not going to get racist or white people that enjoy white privilege to change their mind, just like you are not going to get black people who feel like victims and blame everything on white people to change their minds.

I get so tired of people saying the statement, "lets talk about it, lets promote dialogue, lets take a seat at the table and discuss". People have been talking about racism FOREVER. Until there is a tangible plan in place, action, a new standard with results you can see and feel, MUTHA FUCK A TALK.

Creative video tho.
