The media creates the racism over nothing. Black people are WAY WAY WAY more racist against white people than whites are against blacks (except like .0001%)
@@owangatang2000 for real yeah man we all have our differences and we all have our aggravations but we need to start loving on each other and learning how to forgive each other and understanding that there's more to America than just black and white we have a lot of cultures and we have a lot of religions and we need to start loving and respecting each other and yes I understand that times it is aggravating and a source of aggravation can be me sometimes maybe sometimes it can be you
@@kendrabrown6345 you got it Kendra! I'm neither white nor black but I've faced my fair share of racism growing up. I could choose to fight racism with more racism, but where does that lead to? Let's choose to be better :)
Yeah he is. He tells some FUNNY ass stories tho. My favorite is the one about his nephew spending the weekend at his house. Yo, he sent from "I love my nephew, " To..."but THAT LITTLE BASTARD...." Funny stuff.
As a white Cop who used to work in a small town with a black community, I found myself at a Black Cookout once while patrolling the neighborhood. The invite caught me off guard, but I couldn't turn them down. Great experience, and from that point forward, we were FAM. God Bless my dudes!
One time I donated a bunch of baby stuff to a "black church" on the street I lived on. They were cooking and MADE me get a plate to take back with me since I couldn't stay. I found out "a plate" is like 3-4 plates full of the meat, vegetables and stuff. Then you get a plate or two full of dessert. I ate off that food for nearly a week and it was the best damn food I ever ate. Everyone was so nice.
@@mrbootieeater6585 Because there was, according to OP, 6 full plates. I eat 3 meals a day, and even I’d be able to stretch that shit out! I’m concerned for the person who wants to/is able to eat about 10lb of food in an hour. You ever feel how heavy a piled Dixie plate can be with the right foods?!
@@PaulaTheLittleOne My wife and I both have big, loud, southern families with lots of military men and women who love to cook for people. This guy’s story sounds EXACTLY like our holidays. His mamma raised him right. I’d invite him over ANYTIME.
I’m white and got a lot of black friends also from football. Never felt more comfortable (after 15 minutes) they were welcoming and kind and I have more friends than I had before I went.
@@ironfae I'm a white woman from Sweden and grew up in a fosterhome that wasn't too good. I always imagined families should be like this; taking care of eacother and being friendly and welcoming to strangers. I have four kids (3 daughters and a son) and I'm hoping for many, MANY grandkids so we can have great get togethers one day. And they bring their friends and their friends' loved ones and their neighbors too 😍🤣👌
As an old white dude who's had the pleasure of being at a LOT of black cookouts, this had me dying...I remember all these feelings from my first one and just like him I ain't ever turning down an invite to another one.
I've been that guy, but at like 10 years old. We lived the next ridge over, and I always played with the black kids. Standing invitation to come anytime they have one. They are usually slapping bones though.
@@scottrackley4457 Now I’m black and I don’t know what that means. But I feel we all should socialize with each others and learn how we are all similar especially when living in the same environments. And it helps with understanding one another if there’s any differences. Blessings
As a southern man, I know exactly what this guy is saying! I had a lot of black friends in school and keep in touch with a lot of them to this day! One of my classmates, Gerome, invited me to a family cookout and I was the only white person there. I still remember it as one of the best times I ever had! Great food, and tons of laughter, they were all funny as hell! Man, we need more of this kind of stuff.
@@DJCashew-DJCantaloupe is that true? I didn't know that ... You mean in general or you talking about gang/territory type stuff? Amazing we're in 2021 and racism still exists. Just doesn't make sense. I see people watching their favorite athlete who's black, listening to their favorite musician, black. Then they get on some racist BS. Truly is baffling. Glad I kinda live in my own bubble sometimes.
@@topspot4834 From my experience there is many latinos that do not like to see a latino woman with a black man. It is a bit worse than what it was 40 years ago with white/black hook ups.
@@mariogavranic7392 I’m vegan and i love me some good food. Good food is all about preference so I’m not saying you would like the food I like but some Indian curry, some naan bread, burrito, dumpling, then I’m all good man. EVERYBODY loves good food, being vegan is just about having good alternative food. I wouldn’t be vegan if it didn’t taste good, trust me
@@mcch1cken I love Indian food but I tried living vegan for like half a year and to be honest it isn't as appealing to me as the whole fish and meat variety since i grew up eating fish and meats on the daily bases and it turned out to be way cheaper than living vegan
I always wanted to try Indian food. I thought about cooking some but I rather go somewhere that Indiana’s actually cook it for you but sadly we don’t have Indians restaurant where I’m at.
Religion does bring people together but unfortunately the ones that don’t are the front face of the media, speaking from experience of course. But yes good food brings people together too.
Dude, love the reaction! I'm a white boy and was fortunate enough to be invited to a black cookout. I was the only white guy there. And that dude ain't lying. Best BBQ and some of the best people you'll ever meet. They treated me like family. To all the white people out there, if you get invited to a black cookout, say yes. Do not hesitate!
My mother’s partner was from Trinidad, I’m white & from the UK, I went to one of his parties and I was there for two days and it never let up once, it was ace. If you get the chance you better take that shit..
@fernandopessoa7077 this white lady was invited to a Trini house party in FL. Best night ever. Best food.most welcomingpeople.music so loud and sweet. Woke up the next morning literally dancing in my bed.
To everyone that is outside the culture, this is NOT an over exaggeration. He was telling the story and I was just picturing all the cookouts I been too and how accurate this is. The only thing missing is the line dancing.
@@aidetund6263 YEAH man... I just realized that a few minutes ago... I feel like DELETING my comment, but that will make the comment thread LOSE meaning... People may NO LONGER in understand your comment or who you were TALKING to... 🤷🏾♂️
I'm OLD and White. I've given away my wife's co-worker at her wedding and I went to an all black church in VA. These were without a doubt, some of the best times in my life and the best sermon I've ever heard. When the pastor came to say hello, all I could do was hug him and cry! Too many people in power are trying to drive the human race apart. We've all made mistakes in life, God forgave us and sent his son to die for us. I wish we could follow his example and love everyone for who they are, not the color of their skin! Love you No Life Shaq!
I was at a Mexican/Guatemalan cookout years ago. Some of the best food I have ever eaten. So much more than the typical American (summer bbq type) cookout.
As a male of the Caucasian persuasion I can vouch for this experience. My best friend we grew up knowing each other from school invited me over for a cookout one day. I'm a big guy and I can eat. I can tell you by the end of the first plate I had the meat sweats from all that good food. But i pushed on and had atleast another plate and a half of food then dessert. The sides, the desserts, the drinks, the music, and most of all the company was fantastic. Not one single person looked at me differently or said anything about me being there. I was welcome with open arms and I was invited again and I asked what to bring and Nana Fran said "Just bring that appetite". I also invited them to my cookouts so they can show my family how to cook lmai
Obviously one outstood the other right...If it were me I'd say they both good then after the cookout I'd go to aunty good salad without the other aunty noticing then BOOM!!! We like life long foodie besties..It works 100%
I'm a 57 year old white woman. I've never been to a black cookout, but my husband and I did go to an all black memorial service for a dear friend who passed from cancer just over a year ago, where about 60 members of her extended family were there. Besides the tablecloths and napkins, we were the only white things there, too....LOL We were sat front & center at the table of honor with her immediate family when we arrived, and they asked me to give a speech during the service. We were treated like family and told that we are a part of their family now. We spent the last 2 weeks of her life getting to know Brenda's family during her hospice, and we were her doggy god-parents, caring for her pup while she was in and out of the hospital over the last year, and now have the gift of her goofy little poodle as a daily reminder of her sweet soul. Her family all lived out of state and she hid her illness from them until the very end. She was a former neighbor, and we always watched out for her, making sure she had food, running errands, taking her to appointments, etc. I could probably do a video myself, though....it's amazing how people are basically all the same, but cultures and traditions can be so different! Zach is absolutely correct, though...her family are some of the best people we've ever met and we stay in touch with her brothers & sisters on a regular basis. If we're ever invited to one of their cookouts, you can bet we're going! It's a shame that the media and politics has so many thinking that things are much worse than they are when it comes to race relations. We're all the same. God bless you for helping bring people together with your videos!
People are People and families are families we just have to have an open mind and want to get to know others of different nationalities you will be surprised how we are more alike and you can grow a great bond and long lasting friendships if we give others a chance You are an awesome friend and neighbor while she was sick and color didn't stop you from caring for her and her dog only good things will come out of loving thy neighbor God bless you and,your family
Sometimes media has nothing to do with it. the struggle African Americans go through on a daily basis is just upsetting. I know some really close friends of mine who've been treated like trash because of their culture. Imagine being pulled over not knowing if you're gonna make it home to your children. Not knowing if the officer is crooked or not. Not knowing if their body cam is on or off, or if they're gonna plant drugs on you.
The media is purposely trying to cause tentions. I'm white as a ghost and live in the hood. Most my friends and family are black. I never see any kind of raceist bs from either side. We all get along great. I've been to plenty of black cookouts and they are awsome. You should definitely go of given the chance. Just make sure you are ready to eat. Don't be going and thinking you are gonna stick to some diet .
My first black cookout was in TN. They were our neighbors. My roommate sent me out cause she was nervous. Wound up being the first time i played a scratcher ticket. I won 25$ off a dollar and it was the best bbq pork ribs I've ever had. Even more, i felt like part of the family. It didn't matter i was white. Honestly one of my favorite memories.
I got blessed to be able to go to a huge black family reunion at a small church in my neighborhood. I delivered some family reunion t-shirts that they had made. There was over 100 t-shirts. When I got out of the car and carried the shirts, the lady who ordered the shirts, hugged me up til I almost passed out. When I got my breath back, she grabbed my by the arm and lead me over to the family, where I got a standing ovation. She said, "let's eat." I was the first one to get a plate of the best bbq ever. We prayed, and pigged. Many of the people made a trip over to me the thank me for the shirts. I had my mouth to full of bbq to say anything, but waved to them. I remember this like it was yesterday.
I've been invited to a cookout before, the best way I can put it into perspective is that the grandmother is basically the queen of the empire, so act accordingly.
@@sunstatesnipr1k759 Especially in the south. Some of us white folks are the same way, you do NOT mess with the Great-grandma. She's the head of the family :)
I think it would be fun at a church full of black Americans. You see videos and so forth and they be dancing and singing and really get into Sunday services.
One thing about black churches as they get into the spirit they get into the word and no matter what race you are they encourage you to join along with them and in my opinion that's some of the most un racial stuff I've ever seen
I had a white coworker end up at a black family reunion/cookout after hunting that morning bc he thought it was a roadside BBQ joint. He said he and his friend got some strange looks but nobody said anything as they were in line getting food but everyone was so nice. He asked someone next to him where he needed to go pay for his food and that's when he found out what it was lol! They REFUSED to take his money and said they were glad to have him and his friend and that they should enjoy themselves. He said it was some of the best food he ever ate!
I was in a similar situation, except I was a five year old tomboy, and it was a Mexican cookout. To this day, I wonder what that family thought of a strange barefoot little white girl, who wandered out of the woods, ate some food, played with their kids, then disappeared back into the woods.
Originally from poland, currently 29. Grew up in Brooklyn, I speak 4 languages, I'm into old school reggae, soundchashes, for those of you familiar, worked 7 different jobs loving them all, since moving to the states, my 3 siblings divided into 13 little beautiful people, that are VERY MULTICULTURAL. My god son is half polish, the other half is Jamaican/ Guyanese / Japanese/ Brazilian. the most fun I've ever had at parties, was with West Indian people ( trinidad/ Guyana) and the Caribbean nations. I am a beast with dice, and dominoes, but just like this guy! Not a card man. Peace and love to all. Times are tough, we are all people and need one another
Zach Rushing's not only hilarious (as this video shows), but he's also a big-hearted humanitarian who helps out with kids suffering through ailments like cancer and cerebral palsy. Gotta give praise to those among us that use thier hearts as motivation before anything else. 👏
Once a month in my town there is a big cookout like this where all the black families show up and pretty much take over an intersection of two streets. You can't get through there in a vehicle, so you have to go around. One day I got a flat tire right by that intersection and some folks at the cookout saw me. They came over and asked if I needed help. When we were done, I offered them some cash for helping me out. They said, man we don't need your money, just trying to help a brother out but what you could do is come over and hang with us at the cookout. This video captures to a T how it went the first time I attended. I've now been to 7 or 8 of these and like this guy said, there is occasionally some scary shit that goes down. You just got to hold your own and do your best to work around the fact that you stick out like a sore thumb. Some of the coolest folks I've ever hung out with and damn right some of the best cooking I've ever had. I even donated my green egg smoker to the cause cuz they didn't have enough grill space. We can all come together if we just try. Racism is perpetuated by those too afraid to try and see the other side. Break bread, throw bones, toss cornhole, drink a beer, but avoid the spades table at all costs because, let's face it, shit gets real there sometimes.
Saw this in the comments and I experienced this as well. One of my best experiences in life was being the only white man invited by a black friend at work to go visit his church. Never felt more accepted and loved. It was a life changing and eye opening experience. Beautiful and real people.
I'm not so sure unconditional love is it in this case. His friends were getting back at him for putting them in "white people situations". Small details in the story really show that thought was put into his experience by his friends. Unconditional love and the lack of hate are two different things.
This guy is Zach Rushing from the Mississippi gulf coast. He owns a company called 3b and they do loads of charity work for military and the handicapped. He’s a great guy, huge heart and has even cried on camera for these people.
Im hispanic and my first time i went to black cookout was lit. I lost 20 dollars but earned 18. Smoked a few cigarettes and blunts with them and thw grandma is so nice she came and gave like 3 plates of apple pie it was so good. they envited me over again.
I took one of my black friends to Mexican quinceanera he told me he felt like a hostage lol we didn't stop partying until like 5:00 a.m. in the morning the quinceanera started at noon we had all kinds of food and everything you could tell that man wasn't used to that!
@@PaulaTheLittleOne you need to hear this anecdote. Last time my mom threw “la chancla” (the slipper) I was like 14. I caught the projectile in the air and ran off with it. I can’t even try to explain how pissssssssssssed my mom was. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@anthonymontoya4551 that’s the “new” thing in mexican parties. After weddings, 15 años or whatever, there’s always the “after party” in the morning: tamales, menudo, chilaquiles, fresh coffee and yes, beer. Hey people, we mexicans “discovered” beer for breakfast: the best hangover cure.
The funniest part is that in another story, he tells how he'd found out that the spades dudes had set that insanely good hand up while he was in the food coma. They did it to fuck with him! Makes me laugh everytime!
Raised in the south... I was a kid...great grandma had all the children help her make homemade ice cream. I just saw families coming together. Great food and laughter and love.
I'm white, and I was invited to a cookout after we came home from deployment. I had and amazing time, the food was great, and I was told I eat chicken like a brother. Still not sure what that meant, but it felt like a compliment. Been back every year since.
When I lived on Guam it was the same way they told me I ate chicken like a local meaning there's nothing left but bone. Cartilage grizzel meat all gone lolol
Watching your reaction to this story was almost as funny as the story it’s self. Best story I’ve ever heard,. As a 70 year old English woman of Irish extract I thought I had heard the best but this and your reaction had me in pleats with tears running down my face by the end.
Shaq I knew you would have the best reaction to this video and I've seen it several times. Yes I am a white man that has been invited to an all-black cookout by co-worker. I was glad to go. Had a great time great food with some great people with total respect among all. We have to stop letting these politicians and this media try to make us think we hate each other W E D O N T
I've been a part of Uno games that completely destroy family relationships. Nothing worse than being down to your last card and then Grandma drops two +4 cards down on your ass.
This warms my heart cause it shows that the whole world opens up for you when you trust people. I'm a 53 yo white guy who grew up around many people from different backgrounds and am tired of seeing division being fostered around every corner of the media. We need to unplug and engage one another! Thank you Shaq.. You're a gracious man! J
This man is right on, I’m white, when I was living down in GA a buddy invited me. Super fun, great folks. I tried so damn hard to remember everyone’s name. When asked id be sure to repeat it when talking to them to remember. Accidentally mixed up two people got roasted rofl. “ we black so we look alike huh?!” ~ I bet my face was redder then an freshly painted pick up truck. I kept falling asleep / out of it by the end, one of them let me crash with them ( wasn’t even my buddy lol. ) I was 18, in someone’s car nodding in. I’d wake up leaning on a big woman’s shoulder, after 3rd time I apologized, she grabbed my head and said “ you can sleep!” & I did lol. This was over 10 years ago. But when being invited. I’ve always pushed myself to meet new people. Go to new places. Best stories in life come from when you were feeling scared/embarrassed/stressed lol. In japan, I was the first white person to EVER be inside the home of this family out in the country side ~ well that’s a story for another day. Every group of people ( creed, color, culture, religion etc) has Good people And bad. More often then not just different. Most of us, just want our loved ones to be safe, healthy, happy. Care about each other. More often than not welcoming. I’m not religious, but I like the holidays especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. As it’s about inviting people from different places, share cultural ideas, food, eat & talk. People in the USA are so lucky. We have a great mixing pot of cultures here, unlike any other nation. And comparing nations with a lot of different groups. Crime rate is lower, Americans will protest & try to help people who are different. Racism ~ is born from ignorance, not meeting different people, personally. Yeah the bad is focused on most. But just look how things have changed since 1980s. How many people of all backgrounds protested for Rodney King. A white person, who grew up mainly around white people in a middle class family, won’t know what another person who looks different goes through. But more often then not, we as a nation tend to fight injustices. Risked our nation splitting because slavery was disgusting. Boycotting South Africa during the apartheid. Protesting Vietnam/Iraq. We’re all humans first! Good / bad, Then citizens of a nation. This story is important. He admitted to feeling uncomfortable lol. But he went! And had a blast. More often than not you can have the same experiences! Thanks for posting this Shaq! Especially now, when people are thinking being part of a group is more important than being good/bad. All cultures, and civilizations grow TOGETHER. People say “X was stolen”. But that’s not true in most cases. Just when humans see a better way, we change. For example, the birth of Abrahamic religions, made the world closer. Vikings/groups that focused on fighting / killing slowly passed. Humans bred to be territorial. Aggressive. Physically strong. For most of our existence. But it’s been in recent times, that intelligence, love, understanding & kindness is becoming more valued. Anyone interested in Japan but heard bad things. Go there & decide for yourself. There was a guy who went on a talent show. He used blackface & mimic’s Louie Armstrong. Using his mouth to make trumpet sounds. Years later he was told “ black face is bad. It would hurt others” he never did it again. He didn’t know. Trying to understand others. Looking at their hearts, before shouting racist/racism is important. We’re all brothers & sisters, that want our loved ones to be happy & safe. Even if someone does something obviously racist. They may not know it was/is racist. By asking them, not yelling not shaming, but listening and talking. You’ll change more hearts. Many knows what’s racist / what hurts others until they’re told. Sorry for the rant! Love for all. Happy holidays!
Is that what a rant is? Always thought rant was when you vent and talk down on something. This was uplifting and educational. I'm from Sweden btw. My last name is Runsten (means runestone) and my forefathers were probably vikings. Glad we moved on from that lifestyle 😅
Real Rap bro. You said that right. We need more stuff like this. With so much division between people. This. Was a treat. Had me cracking up. 👈🏾😂. 🙌🏾🤣!! Great choice. Thanks.
"I'm WHITE but I ain't trying to piss nobody off! I ain't stupid" The words of a true White Man in 2020! it don't matter what COLOR you are in 2020 we all are HUMAN BEINGS and WE all DESERVE to be LOVED AND LIVE LIFE!
Read my comment Ben I didn't even see yours but guess we kind of have a good head on our shoulders. I just love everyone no matter who they are. Keep showing love bro
If I may supply some black music from a white voice, Brother Ali put it this way in a rap: "Something spiritual happen when them hands get to clappin Can you tell me, what language do you laugh in? The human reaction of smiles and cries What language are the tears when they're fallin from your eyes? You've probably seen the sunrise hundreds of times But let a painter paint it or a poet describe The very moment where heaven and Earth might collide And God let the breath of life come outside Uh, Satan doubted it, angels bowed to it I'm so beautifully human and I'm proud of it"
I'm late to this party, but just have to add that this man's friend got his cousins to set up that hot and near impossible spades hand while he was in his food coma! LOL! Got 'im! Zach is 6'3, 300lbs, size 15 feet (me, too!) and is a three times cancer survivor. What he does for cancer charities and people going through it shows the true heart of this good ol' country boy. Too damn funny. Love your reaction(s)!
We are not racist. We are united, but a small group of people are trying to divide us. Let’s don’t let them win. I’m an older white woman from the south. I really enjoy your reactions especially when you play SRV. You are able to convey what a genuinely nice person you are through your reactions. Keep up the good work.
My most memorable moment as a white man at my homeboys cookout. His 80 year old great auntie rolled the blunt and smoked with us. My mind was blown and not from the gas😂
Trust me black cooking will do that to you. Macaroni and cheese home made, fried chicken, turnip greens, jambalaya, dressing, and a cup a kook aid and it’s lights out
I remember being a all black cookout with my friend and his family and then the serving lady thought I was some lil boy who wandered over there for some food😂 “uh uh I ain’t cookin fo nobody kids”
You must have been up North. I am white and live in the South and I have been around Black people all my life. All the Black people I know would have been very kind to the little white boy and given him a plate of food and probably a hug.
I was laughing so hard I cried. Then rubbed my eyes and apparently I had rubbed makeup or something in my eyes by doing that, cause it burned so bad!!! Went from laughing to screaming.. Stopped to fix my self.. and then saw shaqs reaction to " we play go fish and cornhole" let's say I was thankful I washed my hands cause I was dying laughing to the point of tears again!!! Lol thabks for this one shaq.
I loved this video and your reaction. I am a white 58 yr old grandmother-I have 5 children that are adults-and I have 6 grandchildren. I am so sad that we lost our traditions of all getting together after church-life has changed. There are alot of lonely people like myself who loves people of all colors-but my own flesh and blood breaks my heart-if only I could find good people that would love me back and consider me family-it would change my life forever. I'm tired of crying and feeling abandoned-this video is a blessing to know that there are still families that come together-mine never will-they are in their own world-could care less about the mother who birthed them,raised them, and it hurts me so bad. I am gld he got the experience he did-but what I heard were about a large family cookout-didnt matter to me they were not white- i just wish people would help others that on an emotional level feel a part of acceptance and love. I am very emotional...the video was funny-but then for me i couldn't stop crying over my own situation. love to all who read this
I've lived this before. Man. Same scenario, some of my best friends in high school were black guys. Teammates. 2 were in my wedding. This is on point. I felt all the same things at my first cookout. But had the best time. And still go back every year for a family reunion. I earned the honor of being a cousin. We need more of this these days!!!
Man I had tears rolling down my cheats from laughter. Just priceless at the reaction and realizations from all that there’s great people everywhere and to quit listening to the government trying to divide us.
In a world full of racism this is awesome and so true. I’m a white girl that’s been to an all black cook out several times and enjoyed every minute! I’ve also been to a black family reunion. Of course I stood out but I couldn’t have been more welcome.
Dude that made me laugh SO HARD I was crying. You're right we need this type of real honest mixing it up....let's all be different and unique. It only gets better after that!
My mom is a great grandma now, and it is amazing to see the seas part when she walks in the room. Everybody respects Great Grandma no matter what your race is
This has had me laughing so hard I'm crying, I've only ever heard of a cook out, never been to one but I love the fact he got an invite and then asked to come back for a birthday, this is more of what this world needs 🙌👏❤️
I know this video is a year old but it's still good and funny. I never been to a black cookout but I'm sure it's great food and great times. We need more people like the dude in the video. I wish racism didn't exist but sadly it still does. Keep up the great work shaq your a real one.
I had a lot of fun watching this video. Hilarious. As a white dude myself, I am realizing my cookouts are missing out on a lot lol. Love to brothers and sisters of every color everywhere. Please invite me to a real cookout. I haven't lived yet.... I want to.
Like another comment said," its the culture". Very family otiented, friendly & generous. Lol except when your shootin dice, that can get hostile quick.
I went to a lot of black cookouts as a kid and never noticed anything different lol. It might have been a little more fun and relaxed, but idk. My child brain wasn't really checking for what's different between races. I just enjoyed myself!
@@yutanakamotobestie6531 Yeah, it was pretty awesome growing up with a good mix. Honest to god had no idea racism still even existed until I approached puberty. The racial tension in the west, particularly America, today, makes me so damn sad. It was so easy when we were kids...
sometimes the difference is in our head as were expecting something much different until we realize were all pretty friggin similar and should shut the news off!
I went to a black cookout last night. Some dude started popping off about how I owe them $5. My boy who brought me there said you disrespecting my GUEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the end of it. The ribs were off the motherfuking chain!

As a white Cop who used to work in a small town with a black community, I found myself at a Black Cookout once while patrolling the neighborhood. The invite caught me off guard, but I couldn't turn them down. Great experience, and from that point forward, we were FAM.

Chris G The guy explains in the video.
One time I donated a bunch of baby stuff to a "black church" on the street I lived on. They were cooking and MADE me get a plate to take back with me since I couldn't stay. I found out "a plate" is like 3-4 plates full of the meat, vegetables and stuff. Then you get a plate or two full of dessert. I ate off that food for nearly a week and it was the best damn food I ever ate. Everyone was so nice.
Now, thats what Im talking about. I love to see people of any race indulge and enjoy.
If they really liked you then they would give you extra foil too lol
@@SanDukey yes we do
If it was bomb why it take you a week to finish instead of an hour?
@@mrbootieeater6585 Because there was, according to OP, 6 full plates. I eat 3 meals a day, and even I’d be able to stretch that shit out!
I’m concerned for the person who wants to/is able to eat about 10lb of food in an hour. You ever feel how heavy a piled Dixie plate can be with the right foods?!

Good food is all about preference so I’m not saying you would like the food I like but some Indian curry, some naan bread, burrito, dumpling, then I’m all good man. EVERYBODY loves good food, being vegan is just about having good alternative food. I wouldn’t be vegan if it didn’t taste good, trust me
@@mcch1cken I love Indian food but I tried living vegan for like half a year and to be honest it isn't as appealing to me as the whole fish and meat variety since i grew up eating fish and meats on the daily bases and it turned out to be way cheaper than living vegan
I always wanted to try Indian food. I thought about cooking some but I rather go somewhere that Indiana’s actually cook it for you but sadly we don’t have Indians restaurant where I’m at.
Religion does bring people together but unfortunately the ones that don’t are the front face of the media, speaking from experience of course.
But yes good food brings people together too.
Dude, love the reaction! I'm a white boy and was fortunate enough to be invited to a black cookout. I was the only white guy there. And that dude ain't lying.

Fr bro they make sure you are stuffed lol

What do you eat at a Hispanic bbq?
As a male of the Caucasian persuasion I can vouch for this experience. My best friend we grew up knowing each other from school invited me over for a cookout one day. I'm a big guy and I can eat. I can tell you by the end of the first plate I had the meat sweats from all that good food. But i pushed on and had atleast another plate and a half of food then dessert. The sides, the desserts, the drinks, the music, and most of all the company was fantastic. Not one single person looked at me differently or said anything about me being there. I was welcome with open arms and I was invited again and I asked what to bring and Nana Fran said "Just bring that appetite". I also invited them to my cookouts so they can show my family how to cook lmai
“You gotta judge between two Aunties Potato Salad”!? THATS TUFF!
Obviously one outstood the other right...If it were me I'd say they both good then after the cookout I'd go to aunty good salad without the other aunty noticing then BOOM!!! We like life long foodie besties..It works 100%

@@alexisw-e8881 I need to watch that then🤣
If that was me in that situation, i’d just have to bite the bullet and try em both because, in all honesty, i dont really like potato salad.
I'm a 57 year old white woman. I've never been to a black cookout, but my husband and I did go to an all black memorial service for a dear friend who passed from cancer just over a year ago, where about 60 members of her extended family were there. Besides the tablecloths and napkins, we were the only white things there, too....LOL We were sat front & center at the table of honor with her immediate family when we arrived, and they asked me to give a speech during the service. We were treated like family and told that we are a part of their family now. We spent the last 2 weeks of her life getting to know Brenda's family during her hospice, and we were her doggy god-parents, caring for her pup while she was in and out of the hospital over the last year, and now have the gift of her goofy little poodle as a daily reminder of her sweet soul. Her family all lived out of state and she hid her illness from them until the very end. She was a former neighbor, and we always watched out for her, making sure she had food, running errands, taking her to appointments, etc. I could probably do a video myself, though....it's amazing how people are basically all the same, but cultures and traditions can be so different! Zach is absolutely correct, though...her family are some of the best people we've ever met and we stay in touch with her brothers & sisters on a regular basis. If we're ever invited to one of their cookouts, you can bet we're going! It's a shame that the media and politics has so many thinking that things are much worse than they are when it comes to race relations. We're all the same. God bless you for helping bring people together with your videos!
That’s a wonderful story you really should make a video about it I bet it would go viral
People are People and families are families we just have to have an open mind and want to get to know others of different nationalities you will be surprised how we are more alike and you can grow a great bond and long lasting friendships if we give others a chance You are an awesome friend and neighbor while she was sick and color didn't stop you from caring for her and her dog only good things will come out of loving thy neighbor God bless you and,your family
Sometimes media has nothing to do with it. the struggle African Americans go through on a daily basis is just upsetting. I know some really close friends of mine who've been treated like trash because of their culture. Imagine being pulled over not knowing if you're gonna make it home to your children. Not knowing if the officer is crooked or not. Not knowing if their body cam is on or off, or if they're gonna plant drugs on you.
This made me cry
The media is purposely trying to cause tentions. I'm white as a ghost and live in the hood. Most my friends and family are black. I never see any kind of raceist bs from either side. We all get along great. I've been to plenty of black cookouts and they are awsome. You should definitely go of given the chance. Just make sure you are ready to eat. Don't be going and thinking you are gonna stick to some diet .
Born in Decatur, GA..... Been to many black cookouts being the only white guy there. Best experiences EVER!!!

4 months late but thats a manly beard
That would be hard for me not finding another Mexican of mixed race descent in a cookout.
My first black cookout was in TN. They were our neighbors. My roommate sent me out cause she was nervous. Wound up being the first time i played a scratcher ticket. I won 25$ off a dollar and it was the best bbq pork ribs I've ever had. Even more, i felt like part of the family. It didn't matter i was white. Honestly one of my favorite memories.

I got blessed to be able to go to a huge black family reunion at a small church in my neighborhood. I delivered some family reunion t-shirts that they had made. There was over 100 t-shirts. When I got out of the car and carried the shirts, the lady who ordered the shirts, hugged me up til I almost passed out. When I got my breath back, she grabbed my by the arm and lead me over to the family, where I got a standing ovation. She said, "let's eat." I was the first one to get a plate of the best bbq ever. We prayed, and pigged. Many of the people made a trip over to me the thank me for the shirts. I had my mouth to full of bbq to say anything, but waved to them. I remember this like it was yesterday.

I had a white coworker end up at a black family reunion/cookout after hunting that morning bc he thought it was a roadside BBQ joint. He said he and his friend got some strange looks but nobody said anything as they were in line getting food but everyone was so nice. He asked someone next to him where he needed to go pay for his food and that's when he found out what it was lol! They REFUSED to take his money and said they were glad to have him and his friend and that they should enjoy themselves. He said it was some of the best food he ever ate!
😂
I respect that he tried to pay for it, they turned him down cuz thats just how people are!!! Don't need money to have good fun!!
I was in a similar situation, except I was a five year old tomboy, and it was a Mexican cookout. To this day, I wonder what that family thought of a strange barefoot little white girl, who wandered out of the woods, ate some food, played with their kids, then disappeared back into the woods.
That's the best story ever.

He’s on 3 now I think! That’s a strong guy...
Once a month in my town there is a big cookout like this where all the black families show up and pretty much take over an intersection of two streets. You can't get through there in a vehicle, so you have to go around. One day I got a flat tire right by that intersection and some folks at the cookout saw me. They came over and asked if I needed help. When we were done, I offered them some cash for helping me out. They said, man we don't need your money, just trying to help a brother out but what you could do is come over and hang with us at the cookout. This video captures to a T how it went the first time I attended. I've now been to 7 or 8 of these and like this guy said, there is occasionally some scary shit that goes down. You just got to hold your own and do your best to work around the fact that you stick out like a sore thumb. Some of the coolest folks I've ever hung out with and damn right some of the best cooking I've ever had. I even donated my green egg smoker to the cause cuz they didn't have enough grill space. We can all come together if we just try. Racism is perpetuated by those too afraid to try and see the other side. Break bread, throw bones, toss cornhole, drink a beer, but avoid the spades table at all costs because, let's face it, shit gets real there sometimes.
Saw this in the comments and I experienced this as well. One of my best experiences in life was being the only white man invited by a black friend at work to go visit his church. Never felt more accepted and loved. It was a life changing and eye opening experience. Beautiful and real people.
He got scared of the unconditional love he was embraced when he got there... it’s was unexpected
I'm not so sure unconditional love is it in this case. His friends were getting back at him for putting them in "white people situations". Small details in the story really show that thought was put into his experience by his friends. Unconditional love and the lack of hate are two different things.

I’m not religious, but I like the holidays especially Thanksgiving and Christmas. As it’s about inviting people from different places, share cultural ideas, food, eat & talk.
People in the USA are so lucky. We have a great mixing pot of cultures here, unlike any other nation. And comparing nations with a lot of different groups. Crime rate is lower, Americans will protest & try to help people who are different.
Racism ~ is born from ignorance, not meeting different people, personally.
Yeah the bad is focused on most. But just look how things have changed since 1980s. How many people of all backgrounds protested for Rodney King.
A white person, who grew up mainly around white people in a middle class family, won’t know what another person who looks different goes through.
But more often then not, we as a nation tend to fight injustices. Risked our nation splitting because slavery was disgusting.
Boycotting South Africa during the apartheid. Protesting Vietnam/Iraq.
We’re all humans first! Good / bad, Then citizens of a nation.
This story is important. He admitted to feeling uncomfortable lol. But he went! And had a blast. More often than not you can have the same experiences!
Thanks for posting this Shaq! Especially now, when people are thinking being part of a group is more important than being good/bad.
All cultures, and civilizations grow TOGETHER. People say “X was stolen”. But that’s not true in most cases.
Just when humans see a better way, we change. For example, the birth of Abrahamic religions, made the world closer. Vikings/groups that focused on fighting / killing slowly passed.
Humans bred to be territorial. Aggressive. Physically strong. For most of our existence. But it’s been in recent times, that intelligence, love, understanding & kindness is becoming more valued.
Anyone interested in Japan but heard bad things. Go there & decide for yourself. There was a guy who went on a talent show. He used blackface & mimic’s Louie Armstrong. Using his mouth to make trumpet sounds.
Years later he was told “ black face is bad. It would hurt others” he never did it again. He didn’t know.
Trying to understand others. Looking at their hearts, before shouting racist/racism is important. We’re all brothers & sisters, that want our loved ones to be happy & safe.
Even if someone does something obviously racist. They may not know it was/is racist. By asking them, not yelling not shaming, but listening and talking. You’ll change more hearts. Many knows what’s racist / what hurts others until they’re told.
Sorry for the rant! Love for all. Happy holidays!
Very eloquently put my friend....
Im not reading allat😭
@@TheDoubleKup haha fair!
Is that what a rant is? Always thought rant was when you vent and talk down on something. This was uplifting and educational. I'm from Sweden btw. My last name is Runsten (means runestone) and my forefathers were probably vikings. Glad we moved on from that lifestyle 😅
Great read
Real Rap bro.
You said that right.
We need more stuff like this.
With so much division between people.
This.
Was a treat.
Had me cracking up.
👈🏾😂. 🙌🏾🤣!!
Great choice.
Thanks.
"I'm WHITE but I ain't trying to piss nobody off! I ain't stupid" The words of a true White Man in 2020! it don't matter what COLOR you are in 2020 we all are HUMAN BEINGS and WE all DESERVE to be LOVED AND LIVE LIFE!
We're all human and we're all equal. We all smile in the same language. :)
I think he said I'm white I ain't finda
Read my comment Ben I didn't even see yours but guess we kind of have a good head on our shoulders. I just love everyone no matter who they are. Keep showing love bro
Just glad all caps was used so much. Wouldn’t have gotten the point without
If I may supply some black music from a white voice, Brother Ali put it this way in a rap:
"Something spiritual happen when them hands get to clappin
Can you tell me, what language do you laugh in?
The human reaction of smiles and cries
What language are the tears when they're fallin from your eyes?
You've probably seen the sunrise hundreds of times
But let a painter paint it or a poet describe
The very moment where heaven and Earth might collide
And God let the breath of life come outside
Uh, Satan doubted it, angels bowed to it
I'm so beautifully human and I'm proud of it"
“Salt shakers napkins and me” I CANT BREATHE
I already know this finna be a banger without even watching it

I'm late to this party, but just have to add that this man's friend got his cousins to set up that hot and near impossible spades hand while he was in his food coma! LOL! Got 'im! Zach is 6'3, 300lbs, size 15 feet (me, too!) and is a three times cancer survivor. What he does for cancer charities and people going through it shows the true heart of this good ol' country boy. Too damn funny. Love your reaction(s)!
Thanks for the inside scoop! This makes sense! Blessings to him!
We are not racist. We are united, but a small group of people are trying to divide us. Let’s don’t let them win. I’m an older white woman from the south. I really enjoy your reactions especially when you play SRV. You are able to convey what a genuinely nice person you are through your reactions. Keep up the good work.
My most memorable moment as a white man at my homeboys cookout. His 80 year old great auntie rolled the blunt and smoked with us. My mind was blown and not from the gas😂
We sat on the front porch with my 84 year old grandfather blazing.... Pops lived over North Minneapolis.
Those are memories that'll stay with us till we are in our 80's. That's what living is all about, those memories and experiences.
I was at a Jewish wedding of the nerdiest NYC Jews. I was stunned when the father of the groom handed me a huge blunt. Fun wedding.
That's sounds like a fun wedding. Pleasant surprises make a lasting impression.
Shit i wouldve been the same
This man passed out from eating 😂
The Idus is a real thing
LOL
I would never pass out from eating too much i just would peyuk (Throw up)

Trust me black cooking will do that to you. Macaroni and cheese home made, fried chicken, turnip greens, jambalaya, dressing, and a cup a kook aid and it’s lights out
@@TyhlerNovac no one cares
I love Zach and humor. I laughed so hard watching you reaction that you gave me sore in the ribs. LOL
I remember being a all black cookout with my friend and his family and then the serving lady thought I was some lil boy who wandered over there for some food😂 “uh uh I ain’t cookin fo nobody kids”
This is hilarious!😂
We definitely say stuff like that
You must have been up North. I am white and live in the South and I have been around Black people all my life. All the Black people I know would have been very kind to the little white boy and given him a plate of food and probably a hug.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 yep sounds about right
@@benfrank-win still got fed after 🤣🤙🏼 best cooking
This man knows wassup, mexican and black cookout's rly be the best, but you gotta know how to survive it lmao
Mexican and Black cookouts 👌
I was laughing so hard I cried. Then rubbed my eyes and apparently I had rubbed makeup or something in my eyes by doing that, cause it burned so bad!!! Went from laughing to screaming.. Stopped to fix my self.. and then saw shaqs reaction to " we play go fish and cornhole" let's say I was thankful I washed my hands cause I was dying laughing to the point of tears again!!! Lol thabks for this one shaq.
I loved this video and your reaction. I am a white 58 yr old grandmother-I have 5 children that are adults-and I have 6 grandchildren. I am so sad that we lost our traditions of all getting together after church-life has changed. There are alot of lonely people like myself who loves people of all colors-but my own flesh and blood breaks my heart-if only I could find good people that would love me back and consider me family-it would change my life forever. I'm tired of crying and feeling abandoned-this video is a blessing to know that there are still families that come together-mine never will-they are in their own world-could care less about the mother who birthed them,raised them, and it hurts me so bad. I am gld he got the experience he did-but what I heard were about a large family cookout-didnt matter to me they were not white- i just wish people would help others that on an emotional level feel a part of acceptance and love. I am very emotional...the video was funny-but then for me i couldn't stop crying over my own situation. love to all who read this
I love you ❤😊
@@sunnyboknow I love you too!
Much Love to you
@@ARealPersonNotABot Much love and peace to you.
Sending you lots of LOVE and hugs !!!
I've lived this before. Man. Same scenario, some of my best friends in high school were black guys. Teammates. 2 were in my wedding. This is on point. I felt all the same things at my first cookout. But had the best time. And still go back every year for a family reunion. I earned the honor of being a cousin. We need more of this these days!!!
Never seen Shaq laugh this hard. Seeing him so happy and laughing just makes me happy
Man I had tears rolling down my cheats from laughter. Just priceless at the reaction and realizations from all that there’s great people everywhere and to quit listening to the government trying to divide us.
Love it Shaq. You bring people together in a world of division.
He’s lucky they explained to him how to play spades. My family never really taught me, just expected me to know how to🤣
Eat a meal with a friend from a different background. It’s powerful!
Hell yeah. My black and white friends loved coming over to dance to Tejano music and eat spicy as hell food.
This is probably one of my favorite videos of all time 😂😂😂 I can’t stop laughing
Your laugh is super contagious! Love it!
In a world full of racism this is awesome and so true. I’m a white girl that’s been to an all black cook out several times and enjoyed every minute! I’ve also been to a black family reunion. Of course I stood out but I couldn’t have been more welcome.
shaq liking comments that’s how you know he care abt his fans
and he pinned my comment 😳
@@Flozified cause you begged
@@maxthweatt1142 i didnt beg, i asked once
@@Flozified i’m kidding bruh ur good
“Man what in the family guy is going on”😂😂😂
No family ties
Dude that made me laugh SO HARD I was crying. You're right we need this type of real honest mixing it up....let's all be different and unique. It only gets better after that!
I thought they was gonna say “your forgot to take home leftovers”
Same! 😆 🥘
That’s normally what happens
My mom is a great grandma now, and it is amazing to see the seas part when she walks in the room. Everybody respects Great Grandma no matter what your race is
Heck yes.
This has had me laughing so hard I'm crying, I've only ever heard of a cook out, never been to one but I love the fact he got an invite and then asked to come back for a birthday, this is more of what this world needs 🙌👏❤️
I know this video is a year old but it's still good and funny. I never been to a black cookout but I'm sure it's great food and great times. We need more people like the dude in the video. I wish racism didn't exist but sadly it still does. Keep up the great work shaq your a real one.
"I said ice cuz I ain't tryna cook wit y'all" DEAD LOL
"want me to bring the ice?".... I am crying right now. 🤣😂. I watch that guys videos all the time. Thanks for posting

I was waiting on him to get to that part🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣because that part took me clean out🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Strollingwithmusic It's his way of contributing to the cookout without interfering with the best part...the food. Zach meant what he said literally.
12:56 “You need me to bring something, like some ice? Cause I ain’t tryin’ to cook wich y’all!” This is hilarious and true!
"I'm white not stupid" was my favorite line😂☠️. Love this man!
“I’m drifting in and out of consciousness” hahahahah
“Bro, you gotta judge between two aunties potato salads!?”
I had a lot of fun watching this video. Hilarious.
As a white dude myself, I am realizing my cookouts are missing out on a lot lol. Love to brothers and sisters of every color everywhere. Please invite me to a real cookout. I haven't lived yet.... I want to.
Like another comment said," its the culture". Very family otiented, friendly & generous. Lol except when your shootin dice, that can get hostile quick.
I want to go too!
so happy to see Shaq laugh so much after he's given us many smiles & laughs, bless these 2
The guys name is Zach Rushing, he’s mostly on Facebook though.
His RUclips channel is highly recommended by me
Good info

@@splatter5737 that's what you gotta ask 👀
Haven't laughed this hard before in a while, shaq is killing me and then this guy got my lungs clogged up
I love it! My husband grew up in a traditional Italian household and every Sunday he was stuffed to the brim lol
I went to a lot of black cookouts as a kid and never noticed anything different lol. It might have been a little more fun and relaxed, but idk. My child brain wasn't really checking for what's different between races. I just enjoyed myself!
Honestly the only real differences is liquor and religion
IKR!
Lots of races do different things depending on where there from. It’s good you experienced many cultures and people growing up!
@@yutanakamotobestie6531 Yeah, it was pretty awesome growing up with a good mix. Honest to god had no idea racism still even existed until I approached puberty. The racial tension in the west, particularly America, today, makes me so damn sad. It was so easy when we were kids...
sometimes the difference is in our head as were expecting something much different until we realize were all pretty friggin similar and should shut the news off!
I went to a black cookout last night. Some dude started popping off about how I owe them $5. My boy who brought me there said you disrespecting my GUEST!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was the end of it. The ribs were off the motherfuking chain!
Love the fact he is from the South and is representing who the real south is!
