There’s a lot of people suffering from inferiority complex who try to make everything abour race and how they are the victims while at the same time claiming that they were the most advanced civilization without any proff. you can’t reason with these people because they don’t use rationality, but emotions.

This man talks about how it is important to be "true black" (rich canadian), rather than about lego technics or builds itself. And his builds, to be honest, is pretty primitive, but its hard to understand because of they monocolor and mass of details. And no word how he can afford so much lego (and big land property in canada to store all of this) in the first place.
hes not black, hes just an american. When one goes to america, you lose everything, including your skin color and you become an empty vessel that endlessly echoes meaningless phrases, constantly bleeding meaning.
Yellow isn't white they chose yellow to be for all races it just became a white thing but that wasn't what it was ment to be when they first started aka there are many black yellow minifigures aka boba fett and lando calrissian in the cloud city set isn't white and those two figures cost more than any other minifigure of that entire set
Not true I'm afraid. Simpsons has a black character with a black family that they do indeed portray by rendering him with brown skin. Same with Lego, just google it.

As an artist my whole life i always wanted to see "BLACK" Art from their perspective even tried curating gallery shows all black .this is so great thnxEBabcock
00:32 exactly. Lego NOT LEGOs. Lego is an adjective, a word to describe a noun, therefore it cannot (or rather should not) be pluralised. Saying “I collect Legos” is like saying I collect pinks, or reds. Lego is describing a noun not a noun itself. You collect LEGO bricks, not LEGOs.
Ok professor Lego. Most ppl playing with "Legos" are kids just wanting to play and not have the grammar cops give them shit about a word. I guess we can't all be pretentious douchebags walking around our 12 studios with our shirt flowing from all our hot air because we are to cool for buttons. Only mortals say Legos, wherefore he only sees African anatomy instead of Lego bricks, because he's just above everyone else. Calm down, he plays with toys, and you wanna give English lessons about a toys name. And if you have 7 different red colors you would say these are my reds. I guess you could say you were collecting reds.
@user-np9hr3cf2r A black man making art that resembles black people and black culture offends you. Instead of just saying you're offended by his ethnic pride you call HIM the racist? People like you are the biggest cowards. We get it, you don't like black people.
@@BetterScam naw Japanese mangaka and doll maker’s do it all the time makeing japenese characters look cute and perfect along with literally any European person who talks about the Roman Empire 24/7 as if it’s the peak of humanity. And no one gives them shade .
i like watching videos, documentaries of people owning, living their own life. Not being tied down to an unappreciative job. Great life style, fantastic artist!
If he were a Japanese man talking about his Japanese identity and the pride and love he has for expressing that, you wouldn't think twice about it. Because he's obviously a dark skinned man with pride, you take issue with it.
If he were a white person making stuff only out of white bricks, taking pride in his white european culture and heritage, you would scream racism and white supremacy. To be honest, I think everyone deserves to be proud of their culture and heritage (despite the guy being american not african). I actually like african culture, and I like american culture. This guy is just obsessed with his skin identity. The reason I’m pointing it out is because of the double standards these days.
@@BetterScamQuit trying to make it something it’s not. Also he’s AFRICAN American don’t try and disconnect him from his heritage just because he was born in America, American isn’t a race. Funny how you claim to like African culture but hate to see a black man perspective, also there’s many white artist in Europe who do the exact same thing so what are you talking about??
Ok so basically you’re saying what I was pointing out. He doesn’t see himself as American, he sees himself only through his race - when you make your race your whole identity. You know who does that? Racists. Same thing what N*zi did and where it led to. And no, I have never seen any white artists being so openly racist and being applauded and celebrated for it. If it happens, it’s either very hidden or gets shut down instantly. They would get cancelled and you never see them again
I don't think he was mainly talking about the yellow color, but the hair of the figures. You wouldn't see any of them on black people. And, for it not to have some resemblence to European would have been strange anyways since it comes from Denmark. I think he was just trying to say that the newer sets representing different racial aspect in more detail is good to see.
I didn't think LEGO could be built like that, but also holy damn that's a lot of LEGO parts and pieces... truly impressive organization and ideations. This guy is a LEGO genius 😯
The sculpture of Kewku Ananse is so dope. I also find it fascinating the connection between Ghanaian and Jamaican (Caribbean) connection. The name has been translated to Quaco Anansi

Yeah black art has been crap odd isn’t it?
とても重要な質問について考えています。もちろん、一般消費者が容易に入手できる基本的な部品は別として、残りの特殊な形状の部品は実際には一般消費者が入手するのが非常に困難です。それは限定版またはカスタマイズ版であるためです。これは子供のおもちゃではありません。これは大人専用のおもちゃです。レゴ作品のスケールの大きさにはいつも驚かされます。かさばるということは、基本フレームを作成するためにより多くの部品が必要になることを意味し、耐荷重の問題も考慮する必要があります。毎日触れているものなので、その形には驚きません。アーティストには共通点があるような気がします。
