As a Black man, I have Black radar. I'm not scared of most of the black people everyone else is scared of, but every once in a while I'll see a bunch of Black teenagers in a rough area looking at me like I'm dinner, and I do an immediate about face and bolt out of that area.
We may be different colors but we're all the same race and there's good and bad people everywhere. I love everyone, but I definitely watch out for evil people.
Ain't that the truth. I'm Caucasian and I'm sorry but I'd be very afraid to visit some areas in the deep south where there are, unbelievably, STILL KKK members, redneck hillbilly crazy people that hate everyone. Forgive me, I'm not trying to perpetuate stereotypes but years ago I ran into people like that in Florida and it was very unsettling.
That “I’m going out there” is SO REAL! I grew up in Baltimore City and that was always my dad. We’d wake up in the middle of the night to some strange noise and my dad would be out there a minute later with his flashlight.
what? A democrat told me different. It can't be true. I've been a kid and yeah i teased and bullied other kids and the same happened to me. It had everything to do with race. We were all white.
This is why nobody respects black m*n. Every time you see a black man manhandled by the police or a Karen calling the police on a black person or a black child remember your comments.
I'm as white as snow and I moved into a black neighborhood. Oh my gosh, I AM the white guy in the black neighborhood that he described. I never thought about it before, but his narrative is spot on.
As a white man married to a black woman, I'll freely admit I'm scared of groups of black people too (if I don't know them). Likewise, my wife is uncomfortable being the only POC among a large group of whites, so we try not to put each other in those situations. Just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary, so must be doing something right!
Years ago I was running to the parking ramp to avoid the traffic after a Vikings game. As I was running up behind a black guy and apparently startled him. He turned around and said “ you’re white, thank goodness “
I'm Asian and one day I was walking on the sidewalk behind a young black man when it was already dark. I guess he sensed that someone was behind him. He quickly turned around with a startled expression and then let out a sigh of relief when he saw I was Asian.
There were about 1300 kids in my high school. Only about 4 or 5 were black. We had a new black kid start and he told us about how he was in the office to get some paperwork sorted. One of the other black boys happened to come in with his mom. The mom got all excited and started hugging him 😄
I get her and I also get how her son wanted to cry in embarassment. Because I would be that mom but for self-control. I try to give my baby all the room to negotiate social moments. But any child in a school predominantly of a different race does not want their mom coming to the rescue after the age of maybe nine. I try to always let him know I am there for him, but I let him fight his battles as he is able. But we must always remember, prejudice for any reason has destroyed lives since the beginning of humanity. It's time to stop. It's time to make a real effort across all populations to accept others and to work for a common goal. We can give every human food and water and basic safety. Ok. I got off topic. Signing out.
@tartsonawire: I used to live in a predominantly white town. Whenever I would see another black person we would both be mutually surprised. We would look at each other with excitement, but then give each other a look that said what are you doing here. LOL

I'm White and worked in downtown LA for a stretch many years ago. We had a loose collection of independent contractors there working in finance, and one of the guys that I had struck up something of a friendship with was Black. It wasn't my first stint working in downtown LA, and I knew to be careful of my surroundings if I was leaving in the evening. One night, he followed me out the door and said, "Hey, wait up," seeking to take advantage of the safety of company. I was momentarily surprised, thinking that he would not be the potential target that I was because of his race, but immediately realized by his obvious caution that race wasn't the issue; it was both of us as employed individuals with assets that was the issue.
That's basically what my father told us when he said lock the doors as we took a detour off the interstate through Chicaco. Just because we don't hate because of race doesn't mean we still wont get it directed at us.
Funny! Our across the street neighbors and friends are a black couple, and we call her our neighborhood watch captain! She works from home and always knows everything going on, greets all the new neighbors. She's awesome. We always let her know when we're going out of town and she keeps an eye on our house, once in a while I'll get a text from her, "there's a tan Yukon in your driveway!"
it's nice when neighbors actually keep an eye on your house or at the very least keep an interest on what's going on in the neighborhood to see if any criminal activity is going on. occasionally, i'll hear reports about break-ins into homes. granted, there is a fine line between being a nosy karen and being a concerned neighbor.
I'm pretty sure that's white supremacy. I'm not exactly sure how that is white supremacy since everything is white supremacy today, but I'm pretty sure it's white supremacy. I don't make the rules, I just try to ignore them 🤷🏿♂
I'll admit as a black person that I avoid very black spaces. Mostly night clubs 😅 I went to a white school and black people can sense it 😂 but I also avoid very white places so 🤷♀️
@axllomein7215 black people tend to make fun of me being "proper". And I just don't like being around too many white people. Being one of the few in a white school, it's isolating. First day of second grade I was called Blackie and told I couldn't jump rope with the kids I was trying to play with. Really kept to myself after that.
For those saying it's racial profiling, it's not. Nobody is going to cross the street if the black person is dressed in suit and tie with a briefcase or dressed up in medical scrubs looking professional. Why? Because we see a person with a valuable job and purpose that has too much to lose to try to commit a crime.
He is spot on. I;m Black. And when I go back home to visit my old neighborhood. I truly watch myself. Its not like it was in the old days. We actually looked out for one another. Out there now, its every man, kid, or woman for themselves. Everybody is packing something. Spray, knives', guns, they are everywhere. And kids don't fight anymore. They shoot.
Yeah, and it's not new either. I recall back in the mid-90s watching local news and they interviewed this 20-something black guy in Oakland. He said, "used to be dudes would come at you from the shoulders. Now they comin' from they pocket."
@@Lane17774 Are you the Wacism Police? They NEED in desperately in the Democrat Party! that thing just OOZING with wacism! help them, you are their only hope! LOL
For me being a woman it doesn't matter the color. I just avoid a group on men period. And if it's just one individual and I get a bad vibe I will distance myself. I'm white and had to walk home from work one night. There was a white dude and he was on the other side of the street, but seeing him around town before I could tell he was trouble. He was about to cross the street to where I was and I took my pepper spray and held it up my hand where he could clearly see it. He decided not to cross the street.
We women have to take so much care - waking, driving, going out anywhere, the predators are out there. I always have pepper spray in my hand when I leave the house.
I was followed by a group of 3 guys getting off the bus one night. Two of them kept trying to make eye contact with me and ask my name. They took all the same turns I did and were laughing and getting closer to me. Luckily a car got between us and I ran the rest of the way home.
@pointlessNYC BTW, they follow women even in cars! From the time I was 5 walking home from kindergarten to middle age presently, I have lost count of how many weirdos have pursued me, but around 5 before adulthood, the last time being when I got out of my car to check air pressure on a tire at night in a parking lot. Two guys in the adjacent lot followed me halfway home until I ditched them, the time before that I was driving home from work after midnight and two seemingly drunk guys at a red light started waving and trying to talk to me. I took a bunch of wrong turns and they also followed me - I was about to drive to the state troopers barracks but lost them. When that song "I'm Just a Girl" mentioned not being able to drive at night, it's too true. Twice when I was walking as a child and as a teenager, I approached strangers' doors pretending that I had arrived home to shake predators. I started life in a small city, but it wasn't any better in the suburbs.
I worked for a black lady for 10 years, almost. One day she said to me, out of nowhere, “I think I’m gonna halfta sell my house.“ I asked why. She replied, “They's too many black people moving in.“ I smiled. “You know if I said that, you could call me a racist.“ She smiled and said, “I know! But I can say it cuz I’m black.” I asked, “Why don’t you want black people moving into your neighborhood?“ “I like living around white people. White people treat me good! White people take care of their yards. And white people don’t blast their music at 1 o’clock in the morning. Nobody in my neighborhood has ever had to call the police because someone was playing their music too loud.“ It’s fun when you have a chance to really get to know black people up close and personal. Ruthie was born in 1949 and grew up in Tennessee, raised by her grandmother and grandfather. She lived Segregation. She went to all-black schools where the textbooks were all stamped "Discard." They got the textbooks the white school threw away. She lived the civil rights movement.
As a white guy who's had the cops called on him for playing loud music at night (not the smartest time in my life) I'm glad she got to live around some good people. At this point in history, it's really not even about race anymore. Some people want to be safe, some people want to make everything about them. Moving based on that is just smart.
Did the same as her and I'm black and grew up in a very black space in New Jersey. I have family still there and it's RARE I ever go back there to visit. The murder, robbery, and shooting rates have gone through the roof there and it's nothing like what it was in the early 80s when I was a kid there.
In college, one of my co-workers, a black woman in her early 30s, said the same thing. This was 90s Chicago, and she said, “I gotta move, cause the new landlord let too many BLANK move into the building.”
You reminded me of the scene from Mean Girls. Cady is the new kid in class. She is from South Africa and Caucasian. The teacher looks at an African American student and says, “Welcome to America!” *click, *click* The girl stares back, bewildered. “I’m from Michigan.”
I'm black and scared of em too...can't lie. I live by "More than two, what do you do??" "When you see three, you must flee!" "Four or more, time to hit the door!" 😂😂😂😂
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” ― Jesse Jackson
If Mr Jackson wasn’t busy making the world where that’s true then I’d feel bad for him. But he actively advocates for criminals to be allowed out of jail BECAUSE of their race 🤦♂️. So he gets to forever feel the hypocrisy of his internal emotions vs his actions.

Nah, because my black grandmother whipped every kid on the street when she caught them misbehaving. Can you imagine getting spankings from multiple black grandmothers. 😅 One is enough.
Black men walking down the street after dark. Spanish men walking down the street after dark. White men walking down the street after dark. These are all people I would avoid, if I were walking down the street after dark.

OMGosh! I was always the new kid in town, between being an Army Brat & my dad’s career ambitions I went to 12 different schools before High School graduation. Two years the longest at any one of them. Discrimination & bullying was pretty strong - race or heritage didn’t matter. KUDOS!
Same. As an Asian American, some people think I can relate to other Asian Americans. The reality is that I am scared of them. I don't know what they want from me. And, they don't know what they want from me, either. >.>
Same. I am caucasian, I see a group of other caucasians gathered, that do not look like a family and they look over at me, oh dear, if they look at me, scary. Of course I was bullied growing up, being noticed is something I avoid. But I suppose no matter ones race we all have these moments.
The reality is EVERY group of people have groups of people of their own race that they are afraid to be around! 😬There are certain times/places where there are pockets of people that seem like they may be up to something I don’t want to be a part of and it does make me nervous🤷🏽♀️ Again… It doesn’t matter what group/race of people it is, it happens😂🤷🏽♀️
You what though, in my whole 60 years of life, I don't ever remember seeing a group of white people hanging on the street. Then again, I'm 60 and in the house no later than a half-an-hour after sunset too. And I have lived primarily in all black neighborhoods most of my life. Well, I think that explains it. I have never been to areas where there probably are people of other colors hanging out.
Yeah, it's just facts to say that you can gauge a situation decently well by how people are dressed, how they're carrying themselves, where they are, what time it is, etc. Black guys on a street corner, white guys smelling like booze on 4-wheelers, Latinos rolling up with music blasting out of the car, etc. They all have a few things in common: advantage of numbers, trying to draw attention, and all are usually dudes 16 to 24 or so. Getting out of there is smart no matter what you look like. Carrying a gun too. Stay strapped or get snapped.
@@KARRMA333They tend to be harmless, apart from the occasional comment if you happen to be non-white. However, the ones wearing tracksuits with gilets, hoodies with hoods up, in a large group, now there you have a chance to get into trouble, irrespective of the colour of your skin.
I moved to Miami to a racially mixed neighborhood. I met my neighbors then went on vacation. A friend was going to do work on the house while I was gone. He had his van backed up to my garage unloading stuff. He turned around to see two men with guns. My neighbors God bless em. I learned to communicate with the neighbors.
Galatians 3:28 " There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither free nor bond, there is neither male nor female; For ye all are ONE in Christ Jesus." But the routine was hilarious.
That's a soteriological passage about Jesus that you're twisting. It means that race, class, and sex won't save your soul, but that doesn't make them nonexistent or meaningless. The same writer, St. Paul, also tells wives to submit to their husbands as they would submit to God and tells slaves to obey even harsh masters faithfully.
@@TheLlamaHaze I won't bandy words with those who refuse to take them in the SPIRITUAL CONTEXT. In the realm of God all these magnified differences will add up to NOTHING. As I read I let the Spirit lead. Unless you seek His light you will not find illumination. Godspeed pilgrims.
@@TheLlamaHaze 1corinthians 7:21-23 "Were you called while a slave? Don’t let it concern you.

Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of people."
AS a "black" man I can relate but I have also walked into some bars in some small towns in the south traveling and felt the same feeling. Like I don't think I'm going to grab a burger after all, juts gonna get my "black" @#$% on out of town.
This reminded me of my childhood. My mom signed me up for a summer camp, and i whined and complained the whole way there. Did everything I could to get her to turn around so i could spend the summer with my friends at home. She was adamant, and we arrived at...an all-black Christian summer camp with a single mid twenties white councilor. Her immediate reaction? "Well, you don't have to stay if you don't want to, we can just go home." My dad raised me better than that. I knew she was being racist, and I stuck it out. I made her give me some commissary money for snacks during the camp, and made her leave. That camp gave me some of my only positive childhood memories, and I am very grateful to be reminded of it today.
One of my best friends since we were kids came to stay with us with his wife a few months ago from Chicago, and he and I had stayed up late to reminisce about our childhood and how things had changed. We grew up in the 80's and he is as dark as I am light and we used to be teased about it in fun. Well he went to the bathroom and came back and told me that someone was across the street messing with my neighbors car. I went into my office, grabbed one of my shotguns and went out since our neighbor lost her husband last year. It was a kid trying to break into her car who saw me coming and dropped his tools and ran like hell up the street, gaining me a nice new tool set, lol. The next day, my friend and his wife both said that back in Chicago there is no way they would have gone outside. I guess it is just he difference of a small town vs. a large city perspective as well as cultural, as I would not have done the same when I lived in L.A.
Same... Black history is AMERICAN history, and we need to stop calling people by their skin color. Only Morgan Freeman has the guts to say this. And maybe Denzel Washington.
Morgan Freeman also said racism would go away if people just stopped talking about it, which is absurd. He's an actor, who hangs out in artistic and therefore open minded circles. But the world is not a bohemian enclave or commune. So Morgan doesn't know wtf he's talking about on this issue.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 People have distinctive cultures, contributions, experiences and stories that should all be acknowledged, appreciated and celebrated. People who see that as divisive are why we have these different months in the first place. They don't have the guts to admit it. And Denzel Washington does talk about culture. And he's made many great movies centered around Blackness. He's not just the Equalizer or Man on Fire, ffs.
@@77Creation If the talking would lead to better schools and less single moms in black communities it would be good. But I'm afraid the talking we see is about winning votes, a dirty hustle to get some "reparations" money and getting a higher education while not qualified. In the mean time, the police gets the backlash of all the hate this talk fosters among blacks. In the end, all of this is bad for black people. Because they are now separating themselves from the rest, and if a black person wants to do otherwise they call him white-washed. BTW, I'm from Europe and this whole racism thing the US has going on is weird.
@@77Creation Everyone, regardless of their skin color has variances in culture and contributions. Instead of singling out particular dates to celebrate these, would we not all be better off to acknowledge and respect the differences and the commonalities every day of the year? I know I don't want a limited number of days per year to point out the contributions of my culture or existence which is that of a part caucasian, part Irish, part Native American Southern, straight, Christian, woman (yes, I can define woman). Every day of the year I would like to celebrate and respect the most important thing.....we are all human. I'm not an artist of any type, no delusions or Bohemian tendencies. What I am is a nurse who can say that everyone i have cared for in my decades of working all require food, water, oxygen, shelter. They all feel joy, pain, and love. They also all bleed red. And blood doesn't care what color your skin is, what your gender is, what your culture or politics are. From the pov of that, we are all the same.

😂😂😂
As a tan Yukon, I can confirm I’m sometimes in the driveway.
it's nice when neighbors actually keep an eye on your house or at the very least keep an interest on what's going on in the neighborhood to see if any criminal activity is going on. occasionally, i'll hear reports about break-ins into homes. granted, there is a fine line between being a nosy karen and being a concerned neighbor.
I'm pretty sure that's white supremacy. I'm not exactly sure how that is white supremacy since everything is white supremacy today, but I'm pretty sure it's white supremacy. I don't make the rules, I just try to ignore them 🤷🏿♂
That's actually extremely nice to have 😂
I'll admit as a black person that I avoid very black spaces. Mostly night clubs 😅 I went to a white school and black people can sense it 😂 but I also avoid very white places so 🤷♀️
It’s troubling that it’s hard to find diversity. I enjoy new movies with diverse casts. Romcoms need more diversity.
As a white guy, I go anyplace that people aren't openly hostile to me.
So the questions are, why do you avoid very black spaces, and why do you avoid very white spaces?
@axllomein7215 black people tend to make fun of me being "proper". And I just don't like being around too many white people. Being one of the few in a white school, it's isolating. First day of second grade I was called Blackie and told I couldn't jump rope with the kids I was trying to play with. Really kept to myself after that.
@@miasmicmuse Fair, unfortunate, but I get it.
Speaking as a black person, I sometimes see a black person and have to cross the street.
Lolololol
That’s racial profiling
I'm white and often do the same with white folks. 🤷😂
@@ObviouslyNotYou I'm black as well and I definitely co-sign to what KirbyLinkACW said 😂
For those saying it's racial profiling, it's not. Nobody is going to cross the street if the black person is dressed in suit and tie with a briefcase or dressed up in medical scrubs looking professional. Why? Because we see a person with a valuable job and purpose that has too much to lose to try to commit a crime.
The gay neighbors bit was spot on!
He is spot on. I;m Black. And when I go back home to visit my old neighborhood. I truly watch myself. Its not like it was in the old days. We actually looked out for one another. Out there now, its every man, kid, or woman for themselves. Everybody is packing something. Spray, knives', guns, they are everywhere. And kids don't fight anymore. They shoot.
Yeah, and it's not new either. I recall back in the mid-90s watching local news and they interviewed this 20-something black guy in Oakland. He said, "used to be dudes would come at you from the shoulders. Now they comin' from they pocket."
It is true and sad all at the same time. Glad someone is bringing this to light.
For what it’s worth, white people have conditioned themselves to hate their own kind, probably far more than black people ever have 🤷♂️
No racism please! Thank you!
@@Lane17774 Are you the Wacism Police? They NEED in desperately in the Democrat Party! that thing just OOZING with wacism! help them, you are their only hope! LOL
For me being a woman it doesn't matter the color. I just avoid a group on men period. And if it's just one individual and I get a bad vibe I will distance myself. I'm white and had to walk home from work one night. There was a white dude and he was on the other side of the street, but seeing him around town before I could tell he was trouble. He was about to cross the street to where I was and I took my pepper spray and held it up my hand where he could clearly see it. He decided not to cross the street.
We women have to take so much care - waking, driving, going out anywhere, the predators are out there. I always have pepper spray in my hand when I leave the house.
I was followed by a group of 3 guys getting off the bus one night. Two of them kept trying to make eye contact with me and ask my name. They took all the same turns I did and were laughing and getting closer to me. Luckily a car got between us and I ran the rest of the way home.
Men don't get it and say we're paranoid but we have to constantly assess risk because men are menacing.
I feel the same way.
@pointlessNYC BTW, they follow women even in cars! From the time I was 5 walking home from kindergarten to middle age presently, I have lost count of how many weirdos have pursued me, but around 5 before adulthood, the last time being when I got out of my car to check air pressure on a tire at night in a parking lot. Two guys in the adjacent lot followed me halfway home until I ditched them, the time before that I was driving home from work after midnight and two seemingly drunk guys at a red light started waving and trying to talk to me. I took a bunch of wrong turns and they also followed me - I was about to drive to the state troopers barracks but lost them. When that song "I'm Just a Girl" mentioned not being able to drive at night, it's too true. Twice when I was walking as a child and as a teenager, I approached strangers' doors pretending that I had arrived home to shake predators. I started life in a small city, but it wasn't any better in the suburbs.
I worked for a black lady for 10 years, almost.
One day she said to me, out of nowhere, “I think I’m gonna halfta sell my house.“ I asked why.
She replied, “They's too many black people moving in.“
I smiled. “You know if I said that, you could call me a racist.“
She smiled and said, “I know! But I can say it cuz I’m black.”
I asked, “Why don’t you want black people moving into your neighborhood?“
“I like living around white people. White people treat me good! White people take care of their yards. And white people don’t blast their music at 1 o’clock in the morning. Nobody in my neighborhood has ever had to call the police because someone was playing their music too loud.“
It’s fun when you have a chance to really get to know black people up close and personal. Ruthie was born in 1949 and grew up in Tennessee, raised by her grandmother and grandfather. She lived Segregation. She went to all-black schools where the textbooks were all stamped "Discard." They got the textbooks the white school threw away. She lived the civil rights movement.
As a white guy who's had the cops called on him for playing loud music at night (not the smartest time in my life) I'm glad she got to live around some good people. At this point in history, it's really not even about race anymore. Some people want to be safe, some people want to make everything about them. Moving based on that is just smart.
Did the same as her and I'm black and grew up in a very black space in New Jersey. I have family still there and it's RARE I ever go back there to visit. The murder, robbery, and shooting rates have gone through the roof there and it's nothing like what it was in the early 80s when I was a kid there.
@@nameirrelevant0 True.
In college, one of my co-workers, a black woman in her early 30s, said the same thing. This was 90s Chicago, and she said, “I gotta move, cause the new landlord let too many BLANK move into the building.”
@@tubekxb Sad but true, "Where's there's more than three, I will not be" and yes, I'm black.

This is why I make it a point to smile when I see us. I’m tired of ppl who look like me frowning at my face
Riiiiiiiight
I'm with you on that! Some of our folks are so bad that they even look bothered if you give them a closed mouth smile. We have to change that.
@@TheBlvdjewelYes... it's really bad these days!
@abwexposed9890 Agreed! I couldn't have expressed that point better!
Yea, giving each other the tough guy mad dog look first. That’s the problem. Can’t just smile and be peaceful.
You reminded me of the scene from Mean Girls. Cady is the new kid in class. She is from South Africa and Caucasian. The teacher looks at an African American student and says, “Welcome to America!” *click, *click*
The girl stares back, bewildered. “I’m from Michigan.”
This guy's so nice. And his jokes are funny! And no cussing, no bad words!

Alarmed? Yeah if im ever in a setting and everyones blk im out....
Nah you just so happen to be black....huge difference

“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” ― Jesse Jackson
I was waiting for this quote.
Ooof! But true.
If Mr Jackson wasn’t busy making the world where that’s true then I’d feel bad for him. But he actively advocates for criminals to be allowed out of jail BECAUSE of their race 🤦♂️. So he gets to forever feel the hypocrisy of his internal emotions vs his actions.
The Gay neighbour line is delivered as a master class.

Exactly. I knew I couldn't be the only one who noticed that.
Too true!

Ok, let's just all admit that this is funny whether you are black or white. It's reminiscent of how comedy was back in the days before PC culture.
For realz
All in the family & the Jeffersons had crazy racial jokes & we all just laughed.period.

There are sketchy apples in every bunch. And that's probably the safest flight you'll ever fly 😂.
I would like to live in a neighborhood of (almost) ALL Black grandmothers! They have a lot of knowledge to impart, they're great cooks, they take no crap from anyone, and they're hilarious!
I second that lol. nothing like that old fashioned southern charm from grannies.
Nah, because my black grandmother whipped every kid on the street when she caught them misbehaving.
Can you imagine getting spankings from multiple black grandmothers. 😅 One is enough.

I`m not into audiobooks but I would listen to him narrate the phone book. Such a soothing voice.
According to the 70's movie "DELIVERANCE," white people are scared of white people too😂😂😂😂

At least he's not throwing around the N-word during his routine , like all other Black comics...you can be funny w/o saying N-this, N-that...Kudos to you Rod..
This is Dry Bar comedy, created for mostly clean comedians for the Christian streaming platform/movie studio Angel Studios. It's not HBO stand-up.
Louis C K and the N-word 😐
@@DarrellTurnerJr Louis C K aint funny, but you cant even compare every single black comedian Men and women, their whole skit is N- this , N-that, Richard Prior , never used it , Eddie Murphy rarely, I just find it odd that a Black guy thinks its funny , Dave Chappell , he's a different Cat , Everyone Loves him.All Im saying is ,Im old school, its also overly used in Rap songs,,NEVER Rap songs 25 years ago.
Aww it makes you uncomfortable
Cause he grew up around white people and learned how to speak and act properly.

What a wonderful, funny and talented man. Well done and thank you, Rod.
OMGosh! I was always the new kid in town, between being an Army Brat & my dad’s career ambitions I went to 12 different schools before High School graduation. Two years the longest at any one of them.
Discrimination & bullying was pretty strong - race or heritage didn’t matter.
KUDOS!
❤️🔥NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HOW THIS SINISTER PROGRAMING IS REALITY❤️🔥
“I thought they came with you sir” bro I’m crying 😂
Same. As an Asian American, some people think I can relate to other Asian Americans. The reality is that I am scared of them. I don't know what they want from me. And, they don't know what they want from me, either. >.>
Same. I am caucasian, I see a group of other caucasians gathered, that do not look like a family and they look over at me, oh dear, if they look at me, scary. Of course I was bullied growing up, being noticed is something I avoid. But I suppose no matter ones race we all have these moments.
😂😂😂
Stop trying to insert asians , no your not scared.
"they don't know what they want from me either" LOL scariest part of all
The reality is EVERY group of people have groups of people of their own race that they are afraid to be around! 😬There are certain times/places where there are pockets of people that seem like they may be up to something I don’t want to be a part of and it does make me nervous🤷🏽♀️ Again… It doesn’t matter what group/race of people it is, it happens😂🤷🏽♀️
Yep as a white person it's the skinheads that scare me.
You what though, in my whole 60 years of life, I don't ever remember seeing a group of white people hanging on the street. Then again, I'm 60 and in the house no later than a half-an-hour after sunset too. And I have lived primarily in all black neighborhoods most of my life. Well, I think that explains it. I have never been to areas where there probably are people of other colors hanging out.
Yeah, it's just facts to say that you can gauge a situation decently well by how people are dressed, how they're carrying themselves, where they are, what time it is, etc. Black guys on a street corner, white guys smelling like booze on 4-wheelers, Latinos rolling up with music blasting out of the car, etc. They all have a few things in common: advantage of numbers, trying to draw attention, and all are usually dudes 16 to 24 or so. Getting out of there is smart no matter what you look like. Carrying a gun too. Stay strapped or get snapped.
@@nameirrelevant0 Sounds like the truth to me!
@@KARRMA333They tend to be harmless, apart from the occasional comment if you happen to be non-white. However, the ones wearing tracksuits with gilets, hoodies with hoods up, in a large group, now there you have a chance to get into trouble, irrespective of the colour of your skin.
I am crying 😂 😅😅😂😂 this comedian should be more known he is super funny🔥🔥🔥
What a good cadence. Absolute radio material.
I moved to Miami to a racially mixed neighborhood. I met my neighbors then went on vacation. A friend was going to do work on the house while I was gone. He had his van backed up to my garage unloading stuff. He turned around to see two men with guns. My neighbors God bless em. I learned to communicate with the neighbors.
Thank you, Mr. Paulette. ♥️ your heart & storytelling.
TRUE WORD!!! He is hilarious! And spot-on!
He is really funny and he's got a fantastic voice.
So natural and easy to watch. I can't help but think this guy should go far. Great stuff.
very funny, phenomenal delivery and an incredible voice! hope to see more of this gentleman.
Way to call out how folks get uncomfortable with people different from them.. " I see you" : )
Galatians 3:28 " There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither free nor bond, there is neither male nor female; For ye all are ONE in Christ Jesus." But the routine was hilarious.
That's a soteriological passage about Jesus that you're twisting. It means that race, class, and sex won't save your soul, but that doesn't make them nonexistent or meaningless. The same writer, St. Paul, also tells wives to submit to their husbands as they would submit to God and tells slaves to obey even harsh masters faithfully.
@@TheLlamaHaze I won't bandy words with those who refuse to take them in the SPIRITUAL CONTEXT. In the realm of God all these magnified differences will add up to NOTHING.
As I read I let the Spirit lead. Unless you seek His light you will not find illumination. Godspeed pilgrims.
@@TheLlamaHaze 1corinthians 7:21-23 "Were you called while a slave? Don’t let it concern you.

Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of people."

He is actually speaking the truth. There are good people and their are bad people.
AS a "black" man I can relate but I have also walked into some bars in some small towns in the south traveling and felt the same feeling. Like I don't think I'm going to grab a burger after all, juts gonna get my "black" @#$% on out of town.
A nosy neighbor is the best neighbor
This reminded me of my childhood. My mom signed me up for a summer camp, and i whined and complained the whole way there. Did everything I could to get her to turn around so i could spend the summer with my friends at home. She was adamant, and we arrived at...an all-black Christian summer camp with a single mid twenties white councilor. Her immediate reaction?
"Well, you don't have to stay if you don't want to, we can just go home."
My dad raised me better than that. I knew she was being racist, and I stuck it out. I made her give me some commissary money for snacks during the camp, and made her leave. That camp gave me some of my only positive childhood memories, and I am very grateful to be reminded of it today.
This dude is hilarious! I need to find more of his stuff now. I love his jacket too.
"Why is he interested like that?" Facts
Bro KILLED this skit😂. Can't wait to see more of Rob in the future
Hilarious. Thanks for all the laughs!
One of my best friends since we were kids came to stay with us with his wife a few months ago from Chicago, and he and I had stayed up late to reminisce about our childhood and how things had changed. We grew up in the 80's and he is as dark as I am light and we used to be teased about it in fun. Well he went to the bathroom and came back and told me that someone was across the street messing with my neighbors car. I went into my office, grabbed one of my shotguns and went out since our neighbor lost her husband last year. It was a kid trying to break into her car who saw me coming and dropped his tools and ran like hell up the street, gaining me a nice new tool set, lol. The next day, my friend and his wife both said that back in Chicago there is no way they would have gone outside. I guess it is just he difference of a small town vs. a large city perspective as well as cultural, as I would not have done the same when I lived in L.A.
I love Morgan Freeman's pov on black history month, 🤣🤣🤣 This guy's hilarious!
Same... Black history is AMERICAN history, and we need to stop calling people by their skin color. Only Morgan Freeman has the guts to say this. And maybe Denzel Washington.
Morgan Freeman also said racism would go away if people just stopped talking about it, which is absurd. He's an actor, who hangs out in artistic and therefore open minded circles. But the world is not a bohemian enclave or commune. So Morgan doesn't know wtf he's talking about on this issue.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 People have distinctive cultures, contributions, experiences and stories that should all be acknowledged, appreciated and celebrated. People who see that as divisive are why we have these different months in the first place. They don't have the guts to admit it. And Denzel Washington does talk about culture. And he's made many great movies centered around Blackness. He's not just the Equalizer or Man on Fire, ffs.
@@77Creation If the talking would lead to better schools and less single moms in black communities it would be good. But I'm afraid the talking we see is about winning votes, a dirty hustle to get some "reparations" money and getting a higher education while not qualified. In the mean time, the police gets the backlash of all the hate this talk fosters among blacks. In the end, all of this is bad for black people. Because they are now separating themselves from the rest, and if a black person wants to do otherwise they call him white-washed. BTW, I'm from Europe and this whole racism thing the US has going on is weird.
@@77Creation Everyone, regardless of their skin color has variances in culture and contributions. Instead of singling out particular dates to celebrate these, would we not all be better off to acknowledge and respect the differences and the commonalities every day of the year? I know I don't want a limited number of days per year to point out the contributions of my culture or existence which is that of a part caucasian, part Irish, part Native American Southern, straight, Christian, woman (yes, I can define woman). Every day of the year I would like to celebrate and respect the most important thing.....we are all human. I'm not an artist of any type, no delusions or Bohemian tendencies. What I am is a nurse who can say that everyone i have cared for in my decades of working all require food, water, oxygen, shelter. They all feel joy, pain, and love. They also all bleed red. And blood doesn't care what color your skin is, what your gender is, what your culture or politics are. From the pov of that, we are all the same.
