Regardless of Juneteenth, Kdot and any other artist can invite whomever they want to perform at their concerts. The dude should produce his own concert and then he can select the performers.
He didn't apologize at all!...And he doubled down on Mexicans still being in the line up and on the stage...Also another black RUclipsr who talks to him called him and told him he was wrong, and should apologize...Apparently he didn't listen...SMH
@@thehandifanwith9386 wow! How blessed he is to have a friend to call him out. It’s a shame he didn’t listen. Unfortunately, for some, ignorance is bliss.
You know whats worse? LA Eyecon isn't even mexican! According to a youtuber by the name Pocho1, who used to have a work-place relationship with LA Eyecon, he is actually South American. Not one mexican i know, that watched the Pop Out Concert felt we were under represented. We were just happy to witness the greatness and historic moment of the concert. So why did he think we needed him as our spokes person?! The entitlement, the assumptions, the ignorance displayed by him is absolutely embarrassing.
wow, I didn't know that! Thanks for clarifying. Yes, it has been embarrassing. That's why it's important that our folks speak out and speak up about this nonsense.
There have been a lot of shade thrown at the black community lately from Latinos mainly in the hiphop world so they’re starting to get frustrated and even though I’m Puerto Rican I understand. First you had Fat Joe saying hiphop was created 50/50 Latino/Blacks Then you had Busta Rhymes (Jamaican) saying black Americans have no culture. And it was Jamaicans/Latinos who created hiphop. You had the Mexican rapper Swifty Blue saying Mexicans don’t wanna sign to blacks. You had Mexican rapper Lefty Gunplay say he wouldn’t allow his daughter to date a black male. Then this situation with LAEykon. They’re fed up! They feel they have been so accepting to other cultures only to be crapped on. For the record black ppl did not create this issue Mexicans on social media have. I watch the different Chicano Podcasts and they’re constantly speaking on African Americans, they feel entitled and superior to them and African Americans are seeing this stuff being said towards them and their culture. It is what it is.
Yup they started it and quickly realized they couldn’t finish it. Fighting back is in our DNA and is something we FBA do best. We’ve been fighting all our damn lives what made them think they could get social media with that anti black racism thinking we weren’t gonna respond?? Lol Yeah right.. But it’s not all Mexicans this stuff is coming from Chicanos mainly out in Southern California. That’s the real culprits in this Black and Mexican issue on social media.
@@angelsayslife The young man apparently went on some sort of n word anti George Floyd anti Muslim rant somewhere on Twitter I believe. I’m quite sure you’re all caught up with it by now though.
What bothered me the most was not that he didn’t know what Juneteenth was. Not even his dismissive tone that he used when discussing Juneteenth. It was the fact that he tried to go straight into Mexican oppression once he realized he misspoke. As if that justifies what he said. It also gave off the impression that he was equating his people’s oppression to what black Americans have been through in this country. He should have led with an apology. That’s it, that’s all. I’m all for positive energy and positive thinking, so much so, that if I misspoke on anyone else’s culture, holidays…. etc, I would humble myself, shut the hell up and learn. I definitely wouldn’t try to justify it.
I'm choosing to see this entire cluster in a positive light. I hope he, and other people learned something from the Pop Out Concert. I hope they learned something about the Black community and Black culture that they didn't know before, and it sounds like they did. I'm also really happy that they feel jealous and excluded. I hope that inspires them and fires them up to do something similar for their own cultures and communities. We all deserve to shine.
Agree 100! Latinos have avoided, for the most part, showing up and showing out for serious issues that affect us. We historically have taken the view, "Keep your head down and keep working". We have nothing to be envious of...just encouraged! Thanks for your input!
I don't think LA Eyecon's comments took you far back as a people. They just revealed what we've been hearing and experiencing from many (not all) Mexicans here in L.A. for a long time. The revelation was just to a worldwide audience...that's the only difference. I wasn't surprised at all by their comments and his 'response/apology' was even worse than the initial comments. I could go even further peeling back the onion layers of what occured but I'll stop right here....
I was surprised because I am a Berkeley/Oakland native and this has never been my experience. This separation, competition, and envy is something I wasn't taught and didn't see in my neighborhoods coming up. Yes, it did bring to light how many Black folks have been feeling. His lack of an apology speaks volumes. He has internal work to do. He needs to look at his beliefs and biases for sure. Thank you for taking the time to comment.

The majority of people at that concert where Mexicans and people are trying to make it black vs brown when we see what is happening in the US with the same race killing each other when we should love and respect each other one day we will stand in front of God 🙏
I do agree with you. However, two things are going on here. Some Black people feel that this was out of turn and completely tone-def to the situation. We have to honor those feelings while continuing to push for unity.
Hello! Nice to see you responding from France. I respectfully disagree with what you said. Blackness is not a monolith. There are black people all over the world. This video is specifically about Mexicans who have African ancestry that can be traced back to chattel slavery in the USA. This is a conversation about the differences between race, culture, ethnicity, & geography. Thanks for commenting.
It's not that deep. One person's podcast or opinions does not speak for all of us Mexicans. Me and all my friends are educated and support Kendrick and what he's doing. The spiritual path is where it's at.
Agreed. I am sure you can also agree our community does have some work to do to continue the work of denouncing anti-blackness and colorist behaviors. Thanks for commenting.
How can anyone unapologetically attempt to save Black and Brown culture while saving Gang culture. HE OVER REPRESENTED what a ridiculous misleading entitlement that violates Black and Brown Cultural ethics morals standards! Liability lies with La Eyecon and I am in favor.
I live in LA County. When I say we love our Hispanic community. WE LOVE OUR HISPANIC COMMUNITY! Kendricks junteenth was about something internally and culturally for the black community, that's all.
I believe you fully! There is love there. I just think this is a moment for the Latino community to really face what's being said here and make some necessary changes. I appreciate you.
Been looking back at some of the comments and all it reveals to me is that a larger discussion needs to be had and a re-evaluation as well. From within the latin american society and to the black community. One discussion is what is a latino today and specifically which laatino identity is the overall one. When people talk about the black and brown alliance what we seem to be talking about is from an east coast perspective specifically Puerto rican and the black community in ny which if you look deeper into it was mostly black caribbeans hanging out with puerto ricans because they both of caribbean origin. It clearly does not reflect african americans and mexican americans who the latter is not only the oldest latino group in the states but was for a very long time the only group and the standard aka face of the latin american identity until it shifted to cubans in the 70s/80s and now peutro ricans today but in doing so it made to appear that everyone from latin descent are the same when its not. The issue with latinos experience in america is this, they became victim of an anglo american agenda of being othered. The first reason was because the spanish as more open about their racial mix in the colonies which threatened anglo americans idealogy of being pure hen in reality they just as mixed as mexicans are but the main reason is that mexicans represent a colonial threat. England and spain at the time were rival empires and the plaes they "founded" slash stole once they became free of their mother nations in the form of mexico and the USA carried on that rivarly with the usa taking over mexican and mexican adjacent territories. Your positive contribution to the americas is hardly acknowledged, when we talk about when america started its always 1617 the pilgrims and not the first european colony the spanish made in the late 1500s which also included the first official black presence on north america. The second thing is while hip hop is a black american culture thing, latinos did have influence on it just not in its infancy an not from puetro rico. The LA gangster fashion style that many believe to be a black thing is actually mexican and im talking about the plaid shirts and baggy trousers trademark. People assume its black because NWA popularised that style but its from the chicano side because when they started to form their gangs it was easier to hide contrabrand and the shirts was a reminder of what their fathers jobs were and that they didnt want to do those jobs because of how they saw their fathers treated but because of the discrimination several only saw the way out is via crime. So they wore their fathers shirts. I've seen videos from the late 70s to early mid eighties and the black community in la was not sporting that look compared to the mexicans and by the time it was adopted the mexican gang fashion had slightly changed to what it is now. So yeah there been overlaps that arent known or not focused on. When it comes to what kendrick did, it wasnt just a juneteenth thing there been as you know a history of getting the gangs in the black community together in peace. This just happened to be the latest attempt to bring them together. However the peace treaties as far as i know never included latino gangs because this was an in community thing. We dont know if anything like that ben happing within latin american communities in LA. At least anyone who is not from that area or latino knows if there were or been any. Which comes to my final point of national identity. Black americans are black because their ancestors identities were stripped away, the latin american identity is not homogenous because each group has their ancestor identity intact. So while black americans can separate between areas, cities and coasts it still easier to come together under a national banner of black when an outside threat endangers us as there is no different ancestral nation ties to prevent it, but because latin Americans do have that they dont necessarily come together like black people do for example you had the black panthers which was black american but latinos had the brown berets which was Chicano and the young lords which was Puerto rican. If im wrong but there doesnt seem to be an unifying latin american movement or banner where any latin american of whatever descent joins together. And i think that been undermining your voice in the states and why several things historically they achieved been ignored because of it where black americans has had one voice that is clear enough to hear. Thats what needs to be discussed, with black people its the nuances of the latin american community and society that has to be understood which latin americans actually unified with them and their place in the usa. There is three pillars acknowledged in us history, black white and indigenous. The forth pillar which is latino is ignored and reduced to migrant status when via the colonial spain and mexican side of the latin american family tree, has been here shaping what became the USA from the beginning along with the three othr pillars. Until that is understood nothing will change.
WOW! WELL STATED MY FRIEND! this was so rich and full of so much of OUR history collectively. It has become clear to me that many folks are ignorant when it comes to race, nationality, & cultural identity. The tools of colonialism and subjugation have affected all of our peoples for generations. It has affected the way we think and how we see each other. It's way more deep than what I've even touched on here in this video.

wait you said "it pains me when I hear the terms -all Mexicans or the Mexicans- so the phrase "the Mexicans" is offensive to people from Mexico? im really not trying to be offensive but how then would you like to be referred as far as race? Im not offended when people from other countries say "the Americans. " So I thought it was alright.
No, "The Mexicans" as in a generalization that ALL of us feel the way LA Eyekon does. Just as a reference for an entire people in this instance. Of course, I don't mind being called Mexican, because I am. Thanks for the comment.
Are Mexicans uplifting and supporting black people?? I’m down for Blacks supporting Latinos all the way!! African diaspora! In addressing this complaint, I’m really just curious if Latinos really support Black people.
They do where I'm from! I can't say that for other places though. The Latino community has a lot of work to do in this area. I'm down for the continued support of each other.
