This man Mr. Graham just died a couple of weeks ago, unbelievable. He was a brilliant lawyer and courageous man who exposed racism at its highest pinnacles.
I am proud of Mr Lawrence Otis Graham. When you are black you have to talk and dress professionally where ever you go just to feel and try to get equal treatments. First impressions very powerful.
I'm not proud of him just another useless shell of former black man gone in the mind he thinks like carter g woodson till he got his wake up call yes it's cool to be intelligence black person i don't mind it but he is gone he may have an legacy but it be gone they just don't get it but it be ok the rest of us will leave them them be to see their own demise
This brutha was such a great loss to the Black community. I REALLY wanted to meet him. We were close in age. It seems like so MANY Black men die SO early. RIP Mr.Lawrence Otis Graham May the Lord grant solace to the hearts of his family.🙏🏾
@OmarAbdulMalikDHaEdMP There is this thing called stress which releases cortisol in the blood stream. It causes health issues, such as, high blood pressure, diabetes, crushing syndrome, and other problems. This is killing our men. The body was not meant to be under so much stress, and the black man is under a lot of stress no matter his class. While Mr. Graham sits there so we'll put together, you better believe he paid a healthy price to navigate the environment in which he grew and worked. I can only imagine. Fathers have to talk to their sons about the things they will face as a man. Also, boys have to learn young how to protect their psyche by staying away from things that will bring harm and hurt to them.
@@thebuzzinc2757 I would recommend reading a book or watching a video on sociology as categories and class has always been staple of human civilization and human advancement.
I have read this book many years ago. His wife is a lawyer and an outstanding writer as well. She has written some excellent books centered around Ivy league schools. Both graduated from Harvard Law School.
Mr. Graham handled this interview with grace especially in light of Roger’s past at Fox News and the racist culture that he fostered. I cringe seeing his bigotry reveal itself more and more towards the end of the interview.
MR Lawrence Otis Graham know game. Higher move up in elite society more you have to deal with issues being black. No matter what education, speak queen English, and dress 24hrs/365 days in business suit still not enough for some people who are racist. Just have to be your self.
@@patriceesela5000 As Graham points out its was the access to networking and the backdoor access to opportunities in a "meritocracy" that this country claims to be.
THE CDC STATES: MOST ILLNESSES IS EMOTIONALLY RELATED. I can imagine the emotional weight that he carried being white high society And perhaps secretly knowing that he (even though brilliant) was not going to ever get the approval that he earned .
Honestly, Black's do better with segregation. Jim Crow came about not just because southern whites lost the war, but also because blacks were progressing a lot faster than whites expected. We were on the move! Even Dr Martin Luther King, whose father told him not to get involved in the civil rights movement, regretted helping to end segregation. He later said he led his people into a burning house. RIP to Lawrence Otis Graham. He revealed a lot in his books, which can be dangerous because you create a lot of hateful enemies.
Why oh WHY DO BLACKS STII FEEL THE NEED OF THE AS APPROVAL OF WHITE SOCIETY? I noticed when I was living in California all races of people had their community and no one was trying trying to live in a black community or the ghetto. So why are we?
To some extent Blacks did do better socially when segregation was in place. But that did not immune them to the devastating effects of racism e.g., white mobs and political forces destroying Black Wall Streets, redlining etc.
@@v.a.993 Again thank you For answering that question . But after all of that and I am no match discuss these issues with somebody who is politically intellectual on this subject, blacks appear to me still being destroyed. You know I've come to know this rabbit hole goes much deeper. Music mindsets hatred envy/jealousy.
I'm 55 now, but in 1976 while sitting in a kitchen talking to a woman, that I was seeing with her sister present, the monkey house statement brought this memory back to me. I said to the sisters at that time, I am concerned that black people will learn to imitate the white people in the future. Just like that I said. you see this place called the monkey house for me is reverse discrimination since black people hire white people to reside there while employed as servants. At the time black ministers and preacher lead the churches dressed in suits and ties, while the women were dressed as tidy. I saw this coming but could not understand why. No clue that a black elite was already at large. Now today after learning hearing this, talk about an eye opener.
His book resonated with me! While browsing the book at home in a Los Angeles , I spotted some familiar names among the Los Angeles group! which made the reading experience even more special. I immediately thought I don’t think some of these people consider themselves “elite “ When it came time to sell my house, I proudly displayed a copy on the coffee table, hoping kindred spirits would buy my house ! I had know such luck ! This was an interesting experience I would like to see a documentary!
Yes because due to the persistence of the anti-blackness form of racism, the "Black Table" is a means of psychological support and survival for Black people who have to navigate in predominately white spaces.
I wondered is that the reason why Mr. Lawerence, in his later years, besides the natural aging process he appeared troubled in his physical appearance? That's a lot of weight to carry.
My personal opinion about some Blacks marrying whites are for love 1st.security of repercussions if out spoken about racism 2nd.Peace o mind about money material issue's Power if apprehended or incarcerated, ect.?

Nothing is wrong if he was BLM.
All these unnecessary categories lol,

@@maurreese that’s not actually true if your premise is: in order to have a stable civilization, we need categories.

I didn't know he died until I read the comments. RIP Lawrence! I loved your books!! I hope your wife Pamela continues to write.

Interesting how the central Park 5 was False allegation today but wasn't known during this recording
Yes. It was actually a Latino man.
Start your own country club!
This need to join all of these white clubs, seekbtheir approval etc always baffled me
Fuck a club and the male ass cheek stained locker room.

A movie about him wiuld be great.
This is great dialogue
Wow. I really like this guy. RIP
I’m so shocked and sad he passed. I knew one of his kids. RIP
This interview is a true gem! It didn't age well, but it is very insightful.

@@v.a.993You're right, but blacks have always been a subjugated group and we are the only group who were enfranchised and then disenfranchised.

Hence the need for Critical Race Theory to start at the high school level.

Damn, speak plainly bother!
The whole video is just 1 big WTF!😂😭
the way he laughed when he said “i’m 34” lolol
While they are watching us their own are robbing them blind.
The "Black Table" is still there Lawrence ?
Yes because due to the persistence of the anti-blackness form of racism, the "Black Table" is a means of psychological support and survival for Black people who have to navigate in predominately white spaces.
R.I.P. L.O. Graham
🗣 *Laurence was a fully payed up member of the 'Boule' he gets no respect from me!*
And?...
I wondered is that the reason why Mr. Lawerence, in his later years, besides the natural aging process he appeared troubled in his physical appearance? That's a lot of weight to carry.
Paid to do whut?
@@vfree4579 I think he had a medical condition. Might help to explain his appearance in his later years?
@@v.a.993 Thanks for reply
A serious brotha!
god he had a law firm at 32 lol
I dont like Roger Ailes.
