About "green books": when I was a kid in the 70's, my family would take summer road trips to Texas and Indiana to visit extended family. My grandmother would always bring a cooler full of food and drinks and we'd stop at rest stops along the way to eat. As a kid, I LOVED this about road trips. As I got older and thought about it, I figured this was to save money on food, by bringing home-prepped food instead of eating at restaurants. As I got even older and heard about "green books", and knowing that my grandparents took road trips in their younger days, circa 1940's and 50's, then I had new thoughts on why Grandma always brought food instead of stopping at restaurants. Maybe it was much safer to bring your own food than risk going to a restaurant where you might not be welcome as a black person. It was probably a bit of both... saving money and saving the family from a potential bad experience. Addendum: Upon further thought, I called my mom and asked her experience on my grandparents trips when she was my age. She said neither of my grandparents talked to her about green books. My mother said that she didn't even know about green books until about 10 years ago. She said it's possible that her parents decided to keep silent about it or it may have been that even they didn't know about green books since their use was more prevalent on the East Coast and the South and not so much in California where they lived at the time. My mom did, however, state that they usually drove at night so as not to be as visible to white cops who might decide to pull them over if seeing them in day time. Even I remember traveling at night on road trips when I was a kid. Mom also said that Grandpa always did the driving and never allowed my Grandma to drive even though she was a better driver than he. After getting to their destination in the morning, Grandpa would be dead tired and sleep all day. Whenever getting gas, he had to go to the back door of the gas station to pay. All this probably contributed to him forswearing road trips when he got elderly; having to endure the humiliation of having to enter buildings through the back door and having to worry about being pulled over, I'm sure, likely made travel not so enjoyable. His excuse for not traveling was that someone had to stay home and feed the dog. They're both passed on so I can't corroborate any of this to be certain. As an adult, I think nothing of getting on the road and driving all hours of the day, wherever my fancy takes me. I don't have to enter buildings through the back door and can stay in whatever hotel I please... at least so far. I'm beginning to wonder these days if this country might be slowly reverting to those days when my grandparents had to take extra care whenever they hit the road.
@@cagin5 No problem. It was my day off and felt moved to share my thoughts. A lot of my comments are rather snarky but sometimes it's important to express more personal experiences because too many of us far too often don't communicate or care to know anything outside the sphere of our everyday lives and so we don't understand where we have so much in common. Also, it made me think about how little I know about the early lives of my parents and grandparents. As a child of the Civil Rights era, I always thought that things were at least slowly progressing here in the States but now it feels we're rapidly backsliding and I really don't want to have to experience the same negative societal limitations my grandparents had to. Regards from Alaska.
Sad thing is I don't think you're to far off the target, but it goes both ways...being a white guy in his 50's more and more times I feel there are more and more place off limits to me...when I was in my 20's living on the west coast I knew there where places I needed to be careful, but I wouldn't necessarily call it race driven, but now over the past 5-10 years I'll admit I definitely would not go into those same areas, and places like Boston or Houston, or Dallas I can see some places being the same way with the black communities...
I wish someone could explain to me the paradox of imputations of 'racism' in the US. If it is such a 'racist' nation then please tell me how on Earth did a black candidate get elected twice to the highest office>? Also, why do those foolish people from the continent of Africa clamor to get into America by the millions every year? Would they really leave hearth and home to come to a place that hates them? A picture is worth a thousand words... clearly, the USA is not a racist country.
@@doubleghod I can only speak for myself but I say racism does exist, given my experience as a US citizen. It's lessened over the generations but, thanks to President 45, racism is back on the rise again. If you haven't guessed yet, I am black. Yes, Obama was elected twice... but don't you think there may have been people who were not happy with America being led by a black president? Politicians denounced him as a foreigner, calling for his birth certificate as proof? Republicans resisted his legislation with every turn. Need I remind you that a South Carolina congressman stood up and accused Obama of being a liar? I doubt he would have said that to a white president. I haven't experienced as much racism as some, but I have experienced it and I know it when I see it. My grandparents experienced it as have my parents. How you speak of "foolish Africans" shows your disdain for your fellow humans. Are you going to talk about "foolish Mexicans and Central Americans" too? You speak from your perspective and I speak from mine. I think Media does blow US racism out of proportion at times but they must draw from a kernel of truth to begin with. Too many ignorant people are too quick to react and too slow to think about the realities of this country and where we may end up if we don't see the things we have in common. They think they'll be on top and they'll be in for a rude surprise. Like I said before, I don't experience racism in my everyday life but I know there's a possibility of it happening. It's not usually something I think about every day but I'd be foolish to believe that racism can't happen to me.
I don’t think you are. It’s okay not to notice, but when the info is presented to you and you just outright ignore or deny it, that’s what makes someone a part of the issue.
I know why the old couple said that. They think since their friends quit using the nword years ago, that racism was gone. They didn’t realize it just went hiding into dogwhistles. And gelatinous bus routes.
@@Brandon-ml2zw If he says himself he may be part of the problem believe him. He knows whats he has done, said and witnessed. Acknowledging it and changing moves the needle.
What people believe or perceive is often ruled by emotions (like fear and anger) and can easily be wrong and therefore keep you from having "someone's back". Or from you thinking they don't have yours.
@@blitzkriegedvanhauten5261 & Michael D ...you two are the least effective ignorant trolls I've seen in a while. So many inflammatory comments, & none of them achieved anything, lol. Can only hope procreation has been equally successful.
A lot of people would say why bring it up, we're all integrated now, can't we just move on. Try telling that to the Jews and they'll smother you will Holocaust tales. Racism against Blacks has to kept in the forefront to remind America of its transgressions.
Black Folks don't have theories, Black Folks have EVERYDAY PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE. That's not Theory, that's Stone Cold Reality!! So what world are they livin' in?? If I see it I'm gonna say it. ALWAYS!!!
In my experience, and i see little evidence it has significantly changed, yt dudes are much more likely to be interested in hypothetical conspiracies and than confirmed conspiracies. I told my Alex Jones/Joe Rogan fan friend years back “I don’t trust anyone obsessed about conspiracies but willfully ignorant on racism”
In the sad part is if you thought you were in actual danger you gonna stand here in front of the danger with your child? He was trying to exert his authority!
A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't resist the urge. It's in my nature."
This is so great. I remember in the 70s watching these conversations on Sunday morning talk/current event-type shows. They ripped them off the air because of it was getting white people talking in the streets. Because barriers were being broken. The dialogue stopped completely and the "I dont see color" movement began. We became uncomfortable even saying the word black. We stopped acknowledging blackness right when we on the precipice of truly integrating it as a part of the fabric of America. We are nothing as a nation without black people, indigenous people, and the immigrants who built it and fed all of us. This moment in time is such an opportunity for us to pick up back where we left off in the 70s but at a much faster rate. The internet can be such an amazing place for this reason. Peace and unity to all of us.
Super stoked! Only seven more sleeps until NEW Beyond the Scenes! Thank you again, Roy, your podcasts are not only inspired and informational, they are a constant source of hope for a better future! ✌️ ❤️ 😂
A very thoughtful, fair-minded and well- considered piece; couldn't offend anyone but a racist! Meanwhile, your "Karen" piece went strait for the jugular. Gotta tiptoe around that fragile WHT male ego! 😆 🤣 😂
As a NICU RN, I can tell you old fashioned names are coming back. In addition, I’ve seen and railed against the mass transportation issue. It’s absolutely a problem. The full global problem needs to stop.
I never realized that you were from AL Mr. Wood!!! I'm here in the Gump, hoping that more people can see and be change. Thank you for your comedy but more importantly, thank you for your candor and honesty in reporting.
I remember as a young teen (age 12+) my best friend was black and called everyone N.... so I started to mimic it (no idea the backstrory at the time) my friend warned me in public to not use it 'loudly'. But I never understood it. Luckily I never got in trouble. (My friend also was that age, so we both were just clueless brats) of course I stopped doing it as it got old but also learned more how bad it was later on. RIP my dear best friend. (drowned 2020)
Sorry for the loss of your friend. On the issue of the N-word. Back in the day we had a “not in mixed company” rule. If you heard the word used in the context of reclamation, and you were white, you had special access and the rules were made clear to you. Sound like your friend was operating from that understanding. Hip hop music changed the game, and depending on where you are that word can get a non black person in trouble. It sounds like you and your friend had a bond that transcended race. Thank you for sharing.
@@MrCvjalexander She was my friend since we were 5 years old ^^ yes what you said sounds accurate.........we speak of 25 + years back when things was very different.......
"What are you teaching your child?" - To answer this question requires some context. It really does depend on the perspective of the child. In this case the young boy already was aware, this is NOT right, of how badly the event could end up, and probably knew this IS what racism looks like. The father continuing the act, in the child's eye, would be a huge disappointment and likely teach the child discrimination can occur from, at times, the least expected and for the dumbest reasons.
My own experience: Witnessed my (very indian) parents say some racist stuff about people I hang out with (or people I shouldn't hangout with) when I was in like 1st grade! I can assure you I immediately knew their intention and that it was racist AF...
I'm all for true critical race theory that teaches things that have happened in history and to this day of experiences of more than 1 or dominant people. Instead of that fox news fear mongering CRT. Don't see color when judging and valuing people like MLKJR but still see color so you are open to the knowledge of what others might experience in this imperfect world everyone lives in.
@@MrCvjalexander thank you. I'm autistic and might say and get things wrong from time to time. I might not have always had the most black people around growing up and am mainly white i was raised by what I learned in kc schools and by my white, native american and Hispanic family that nomatter someone's skin tone we all are human beings, living creatures of equal worth and value and with similar hopes dreams and flaws "the human condition" that we all should be treated with dignity, and that people should keep an open mind that not all people are treated the same and can have drastically different and life changing experiences from the same behavior or appearance just because of the color of their skin especially in combination with other things as simple as clothes or hair or speech methods and tones. Minorities have to be so careful in this world on a daily level just to make sure they have the best chances of making it home safe to their loved ones each day.
Solid conversations! I would be very interested to listen to Professor Crenshaw's thoughts on religious ideology being imported and developed in the Americas. White supremacy provided and systematically developed the religious ideologies of every culture over here. What were people taught to read when literacy was legalized? The bible in almost every case. Religious ideologies have fundamentally changed cultural identities depending on how they were transmitted and/or sustained. A story on how Christianity was brought to South Africa as told by someone who grew up in that culture would also be illuminating.
The portion of the podcast with Professor Crenshaw is actually a small portion of a larger, longer podcast. I might suggest watching the full episode, it was great.
The first time I knew that Boston had a racist problem was when I was a Brownie. Do you know how young you have to be to be in the Brownies ❓❓❓❓ I was the only child of any color in our Brownie Troop. Two adult older white men called me the n-word and told me to go back to Africa. I remember I recall thinking should I tell Mrs. Letourneau or Mrs. Mansfield that these two men call me a bad name. Then I thought to myself do they think I'm this bad name too and why would they bring me here - although I was with the entire Brownie Troop, if they didn't think that. I was an incredibly thoughtful child. Ironically, we were there to view and tour the USS Constitution.
I totally agree with Dulce: karens claim victimhood. Also it’s not exclusive to race, but that may be the most ridiculous example. I see Karens as demanding to speak to the manager (in race examples that’s calling the police).
Absolutely talk more about racism. I can never walk in a black persons shoes, I need to know all types of racism. This is the only show that actually deals with that. It's not because I want to be politically correct all the time, it's because I want to be respectful. In other words what Republicans call being "woke" I guess.
It's kind of sad to see that the 7-year-old amongst everybody in that moment had the most sense to tell him "just stop just stop!" you know what I mean? The fact that he didn't even acknowledge the tears like 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ who is this guy
CRT we practice it every day as a IsRaelite/ black people every single day 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 powerful. Just trying to stay alive as a IsRaelite/ black people on our own land.
Feel sorry for that kid. His father just taught him that his cries will be ignored. Hopefully, he is never in a situation where he needs to cry out to his father.💔
Why didn't you have the show about racism against Native Americans on this show? IK swear one of the main things keeping racism going is people refusing to acknowledge that racism against non-black minorities is racism. You need to identify your own biases and bigotry Roy.
Hi! Is somebody gonna talk in how people are now offended of Netflix adaptations (after every other industry has done it and no body has ever been so offended like now) of black ppl. Ppl who shouted “BLM matters” your racism is showing! 😁take care guys
When we talk about Critical Race Theory, we need to be VERY careful...in general I think she us right, but one of the biggest problems I have seen with the Critical Race Theory is the dumbing down of our education system, not allowing kids to take text books home, not giving out homework, teaching to pass a test not to a standard all contribute to dumber kids, it's happening to my kids, to the black community, the Asian community, everyone, and in the end it'll make it harder for our kids to be productive adults in our country, no matter if they go to college or not!
CRT is based on Marx' conflict theory. It is a system for seeing the world in terms of oppositional forces, "Oppressors and Oppressed" (Communist Manifesto). It is also what is known as a 'False Dichotomy' in logic. It is divisive to the core.
Go Roy. I hope you're correct, that acting like a Karen is being stigmatized and white women are more aware of the racist basis of prejudice and presumptions

Anyone who says "Don't be a tarbaby" to a person, clearly has zero understanding of what a tarbaby actually is. (Hint: it has nothing to do with the color of one's skin). Edit: Although, researching it, it does appear that definition 2. is "offensive slang for a black person". So I guess I'm just glad I don't hang out with the type of people who use the phase that way. (Honestly, I've never heard anyone use the word that way).
I never get enough of Dulcé Sloan's wisdom!!!!! No matter how many times I see her comments on Karens, it is never enough; always perfectly stated!!!

I'm all for true critical race theory that teaches things that have happened in history and to this day of experiences of more than 1 or dominant people. Instead of that fox news fear mongering CRT. Don't see color when judging and valuing people like MLKJR but still see color so you are open to the knowledge of what others might experience in this imperfect world everyone lives in.
I like the way you put this. I think you get the concept of judging a person by the content of their character.
@@MrCvjalexander thank you. I'm autistic and might say and get things wrong from time to time. I might not have always had the most black people around growing up and am mainly white i was raised by what I learned in kc schools and by my white, native american and Hispanic family that nomatter someone's skin tone we all are human beings, living creatures of equal worth and value and with similar hopes dreams and flaws "the human condition" that we all should be treated with dignity, and that people should keep an open mind that not all people are treated the same and can have drastically different and life changing experiences from the same behavior or appearance just because of the color of their skin especially in combination with other things as simple as clothes or hair or speech methods and tones. Minorities have to be so careful in this world on a daily level just to make sure they have the best chances of making it home safe to their loved ones each day.
@@sherricarrievioletalpha448 thank you for sharing your personal story.
Okay boomer
Congrats for 10 million Trevor👍👏🧡
awesome!
awesome !
Keeping us honest Roy 🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Tom Yawkey was the owner (not just a manager) of the Red Sox.
And yes, Michael Che is hilarious!
Solid conversations! I would be very interested to listen to Professor Crenshaw's thoughts on religious ideology being imported and developed in the Americas. White supremacy provided and systematically developed the religious ideologies of every culture over here. What were people taught to read when literacy was legalized? The bible in almost every case. Religious ideologies have fundamentally changed cultural identities depending on how they were transmitted and/or sustained. A story on how Christianity was brought to South Africa as told by someone who grew up in that culture would also be illuminating.
The portion of the podcast with Professor Crenshaw is actually a small portion of a larger, longer podcast. I might suggest watching the full episode, it was great.
I love Dulce every time she opens her mouth! Go sis!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE ANALOGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Daily Show 😍😍
Gang up on Dolce one more time and I’m driving up 13 from Virginia! ❤️
Thanks for sharing this 😢😢
Love love love love love RWjr
We all belong to one race and that's the human race.
Strange how racist people don't want to hear they are racist.
They don't want to be accountable for their words or actions.
@@twylenb and they use reverse psychology and play victim.
False claiming is bad.
@@twylenb Sure !
Right !
The first time I knew that Boston had a racist problem was when I was a Brownie. Do you know how young you have to be to be in the Brownies ❓❓❓❓ I was the only child of any color in our Brownie Troop. Two adult older white men called me the n-word and told me to go back to Africa. I remember I recall thinking should I tell Mrs. Letourneau or Mrs. Mansfield that these two men call me a bad name. Then I thought to myself do they think I'm this bad name too and why would they bring me here - although I was with the entire Brownie Troop, if they didn't think that. I was an incredibly thoughtful child. Ironically, we were there to view and tour the USS Constitution.
I totally agree with Dulce: karens claim victimhood. Also it’s not exclusive to race, but that may be the most ridiculous example. I see Karens as demanding to speak to the manager (in race examples that’s calling the police).
Yooooo I about screamed when she said Do ya because that food look dry. LMBO
Absolutely talk more about racism. I can never walk in a black persons shoes, I need to know all types of racism. This is the only show that actually deals with that. It's not because I want to be politically correct all the time, it's because I want to be respectful. In other words what Republicans call being "woke" I guess.
I’m curious to hear if any of the white people you asked said, “How would I know?”
This is brilliant
It's kind of sad to see that the 7-year-old amongst everybody in that moment had the most sense to tell him "just stop just stop!" you know what I mean? The fact that he didn't even acknowledge the tears like 🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ who is this guy
TRUTH , WAKE UP PEOPLE!! THE POWER IS IN THE SPRIT, SOUL AND CONNECTION. WITHOUT GETTING TO DEEP!!
I ❤️ Dulce!
She brilliant and beautiful❣️
Deval Patrick’s son?
39:17-42:32 Yes.
CRT we practice it every day as a IsRaelite/ black people every single day 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 powerful. Just trying to stay alive as a IsRaelite/ black people on our own land.
I stan Dolcè!
Feel sorry for that kid. His father just taught him that his cries will be ignored. Hopefully, he is never in a situation where he needs to cry out to his father.💔
Why didn't you have the show about racism against Native Americans on this show? IK swear one of the main things keeping racism going is people refusing to acknowledge that racism against non-black minorities is racism. You need to identify your own biases and bigotry Roy.
Hi! Is somebody gonna talk in how people are now offended of Netflix adaptations (after every other industry has done it and no body has ever been so offended like now) of black ppl. Ppl who shouted “BLM matters” your racism is showing! 😁take care guys
I actually have quite a few friends named Ashley And a sis named Ashlee
Since there are three firsts I get to be second!
Have a cookie 🥘 to celebrate 🤣
Yeah Dulcé's right there are non-white karens. Remember that friend that I was talking about? she's one
When we talk about Critical Race Theory, we need to be VERY careful...in general I think she us right, but one of the biggest problems I have seen with the Critical Race Theory is the dumbing down of our education system, not allowing kids to take text books home, not giving out homework, teaching to pass a test not to a standard all contribute to dumber kids, it's happening to my kids, to the black community, the Asian community, everyone, and in the end it'll make it harder for our kids to be productive adults in our country, no matter if they go to college or not!
Those aren't examples of CRT so I don't get the connection. Can you explain?
Dude...I work with people like that
Dulcé better preach
Roy its is called "who is your sister" sauce in my house.
Wooster-sheer!
Rachel’s coming for ya now… with the evoo
Too many comments to leave a comment
cause I don't feel it....dude....
They never do, lol 😂 I leave in Massachusetts. It’s mad racist, it’s not only Boston. All of it.
I live in Boston, San Antonio, and Shreveport louisiana. Shreveport area is the most racist, then Boston area, then San Antonio.
I think that Denver inverts Birmingham. I think that the buses stop at the black areas and are in the white areas.
Crispus Attucks is boston's Black Daddy.
CRT is based on Marx' conflict theory. It is a system for seeing the world in terms of oppositional forces, "Oppressors and Oppressed" (Communist Manifesto). It is also what is known as a 'False Dichotomy' in logic. It is divisive to the core.
Tell all those Karens who complain about being a meme that it's not your fault what their mama named them.
I'm on the white woman side now
Hi, I’m a 50 yo Jennifer who grew up being called by my last name 😆
Go Roy. I hope you're correct, that acting like a Karen is being stigmatized and white women are more aware of the racist basis of prejudice and presumptions
Since people like you,,,,,
Iv realized I have a " white" card or or White entitlement... AWSM! IM GOING TO EMBRACE THAT!! RIGHT ON MY BROTHERS
Dulce ALL DAY!!!
Bro I’m not racist, oh wait the city
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Yall are too Firsty.
Cranky Kong lleva razón.
The joint custody scenario is probably correct. His possible ex-lady is dating a bruh🤣.
Western countries said Eastern countries are racists. Americans are best democracy in the universe.
It’s pronounced wus-ta-sheer
How many Karens naamed their kid Olivia or whats the most common daughter name for Karens? Would be in average the year when most Karens got 25 Id say
Wusha in Massachusetts was one of the first witch towns in Boston. Anyone called a "witch" was burned alive in front of everyone.
Wusha?! 🤣 It’s Worcester (pronounced “wuss-ter”).
@@wahoo4uva 🤣

The comments count is busted…
Once Josh Johnson gets tired of the rat race, he can retire to doing narration or voice overs, if he does audio books my insomnia is cured.
Of course by that time I'll either be worm food or a brain in a jar.
That voice though
I can't pronounce that W kind of sauce either. And don't care
Anyone who says "Don't be a tarbaby" to a person, clearly has zero understanding of what a tarbaby actually is. (Hint: it has nothing to do with the color of one's skin).
Edit: Although, researching it, it does appear that definition 2. is "offensive slang for a black person". So I guess I'm just glad I don't hang out with the type of people who use the phase that way. (Honestly, I've never heard anyone use the word that way).
