Dude is seriously confused on so many issues.. but interesting story tho. It's very naive of him to think race isn't a priority considering the history of the church. And the way he defended their racist history. smh.. I see why he's single. lol
I felt the matchmaker was a bit insensitive saying, “I work with clients who have money”…that whole line of questioning about money could have been done better. I was about to say that I don’t think James will find the woman he wants in the Mormon church but saw that the reconnected with his old flame. Is she Mormon? Also, what is the matchmaking experience like from the LDS woman’s perspective? I thoroughly enjoyed the video, love your head scarves Imaeyen
I found this segment interesting as a Black who has been to SLC. In 2014-2016, I traveled to SLC monthly for work. Even visited the Temple and BYU. Most folks were cordial but there were micro-aggressions at times. In fact, I was falsely accused of shoplifting at a 7-11. SLC is an okay place to visit but the lack of diversity (and Black people) is glaring and not hospitable for Black folks.
@@iiwrites what's it like for LDS womyn dating? How much easier is it for white people to get paired? What are the reasons some LDS couples divorce, does it make it harder to date?
@@iiwrites it definitely did seem like it ended very abruptly, which kind of ended the video in a bit of a disappointing way but I don’t think that’s your fault, I have huge praise for the fact that you are actually responding and trying to understand criticism so keep that up!
Mixed but not black?. Do you realize how ludicrous this sounds. If you are black. You are black. My daughter is biracial and she is definitely defines herself a black woman in Germany 🇩🇪.
@@rameekbrown672 That man is mixed. I ain’t trying hear that cops pull him over because the color of his skin-tone I am talking about his genetic make-up.
Does he consider it's not personal but doctrine based? People need to start talking honestly about race in these specific situations. What are the church's "modern" views about black or half black people in heaven? If they are not allowed, why would a woman want to have children who can't get into heaven?
I mean.....People cab believe what they want....But it just felt that everybody except Imaeyen were skirting around the neon elephant in the room ie racism and that he is a black man in a very racist vvhite society, city and faith. He first claims its a very racist and prejudiced faith and society while they were driving in the car speaking about hos ideological belief systems, but later he says he doesn't think that anybody is racist or has malicious intent (when he was at home on the sofa). He seems rootless, without an anchor and messed up. He has the classic signs of black kid brought up in racist vvhite spaces type of behaviours. It leaves these kids both very aware of themselves and their racist spaces tht rejects them, while also being in denial about it. That conflict is deep and leaves scars and has negative impacts. I wish him well and hope he finds peace and love. My best bet would be that he leave Utah and get to a more cosmopolitan city/country.
Bruh, getting married in this day and age with the crazy divorce and alimony laws?! These dudes are just asking for it. I wish them well, but I don't expect it
I will did enjoy this documentary on how Mormons see marriage and I hope James find his special someone because I find Mormons really interesting , I know there are Mormons of other races and ajplus keep up the good works love these videos very eye opening
It seems like the ethics of his social politics hasn’t made its way to his dating politics. And why can’t he go find Black women to date at the same place where he find Black people to be in his music videos?
But I do actually get the point that if he isn't forthcoming with many details about himself, it can feel very elusive. But also sharing life details is the way people relate to each other more deeply, discussing general interests is only surface level. It makes total sense that he put a wall up to a girl he wasn't attracted to. He just didn't wanna connect.
@@iiwrites I feel like wanting to know how much money someone makes as one of the first things when you start talking/dating seems really off-putting. It shouldn't matter how much money the guy has when they should be focusing on compatibility. I would never ask a guy that outright when starting to get to know them
@@iiwrites I feel that money is a blessing and a problem at the same time. Money doesn't define a person's true heart, money can alleviate problems. It can't be the goal in life. Too many people care more for money than people. That's sad.
@@iiwrites Oh, 😂It was more funny hold ups, like "I'm passionate about tongue scrappers", and then I was just surprised that Mormons would have a problem finding people to date, I thought they were all pretty close or would just meet at church or BYU, it seems like the Mormons I've seen have met like that. That was more of a surprise hold up. And then the music he made and the way it was described made me think "Hold up, he's like a Mormon Taylor Swift". I was like "I should look into his album because that's kind of what I'm all about" but then the James the Mormon songs had me like "Hold up what?!?😂" Just that kind of stuff. His liberal views and his Mormon faith are an interesting combination that is quite surprising as well. It was an interesting video though. I think you did a good job.
I’m half balck and half Tongan ( Polynesian) and I was raised in a small town in the south born and I grew up as a baby in the Mormon church ( only my mom was a member and still is ) I can personally say I was the only brown person and I never saw any or felt any racism but maybe some ignorance but I have not been to church since 18
@@danieltongaww you didn’t feel racism because you weren’t a threat. You weren’t fully black and you are only just one person. If you have a lot of black people around you as James has in his “rap” video it’ll be different.

I think James has his head in the clouds. If I belong to a religion and they don't recognize their past..... it is not the church for me. Also, they're not down with BLM? For real? It is about righting wrongs with legislation and accountability I am VERY curious why James doesn't want to date women of color. "Black coffee no sugar no Cream, that's the girl down with my team". If James is a rapper, he should know the lyrics. One Love 💘 ❤️
The things he believes in are against the LDS faith. Will be incredibly hard for him to find a Mormon wife who agrees with his views. Would be better off finding a non church member.
Mormons outside of america are very left wing, to the point of being socialists or even communists, i met French Mormons who where communist and didn't believe the American Mormons supported trump
56%, how many are happy and how long do these marriages last? Sure, it's a community that holds together, many many good people, a bit nuts for this fake religion, but what the heck. They are good people anyways. Today it's a hard time, people change and only the strong can stay together, those who wish to thing and work problems out together.
I am a black Mormon in VA so I understand what he is going through but being so liberal is feeling like he is playing both ends are you a lover of God or Money? No one came to serve to masters. Mathew 6:24 it is tough to find a good sing Mormon woman of any color, let alone attracted to a man of another race, particularly a black man. I am not saying they are not out there but in my experience, it is like finding a needle in a haystack.
AJ: can you please research & advocate for full intellectual property (IP) abolition? This is the most important activist aim for working class people! A just economy (& most leftist projects) has very little chance without first abolishing IP. IP is the most severe & oppressive tool of the rich & powerful. Please see the work of Stephan Kinsella, Michele Boldrin, & David K. Levine. These are the best experts on intellectual property in the world. Everyone who cares about seriously improving things for humanity needs to know what IP abolition is about.
IP laws make no sense from either left or right politics. The ‘property’ in intellectual property is a false term used for propaganda purposes. Intellectual property is not property in any sense. It’s monopoly. IP actually stifles innovation & creativity. IP also is the main component of cultural control, propaganda, & advertising. And IP seriously screws up our economy & stacks it for the rich & powerful more than any other tool (especially IP with digital tech & the internet). IP abolition is the most important aim to liberate artists, programmers, inventors, etc. & make them all better off financially.
The 2008 economics book ‘Against Intellectual Monopoly’ & the 2001 essay ‘Against Intellectual Property’ are the two most important texts of the last century! Each has nearly flawless argumentation. All people interested in politics need to read both (free online). If you can’t read them now, then write down both titles so you can tell others so they can read them.

The mixed race black Fella must have had a challenging time growing up as a kid & teenager seeing as how his white mother had to raise him all by herself. Becuz the black daddy abandoned the family.
