There was a time...

There was a time when white comedians from New York would go to the South, because they had comedians that were slaves, and they would go to the South and watch these comedians do shows for their communities, and they would steal their acts and go back to Broadway,

and put blackface on and do the exact same comedy acts they seen these slaves do in the South.

They would go back to New York and they would do it on Broadway and they would steal their jokes, steal their whole act.

Swagger jacket.

And they would put on blackface so they could be more convincing to the white audience that this is what these N-words do, niggas do down here down South.

Black people, non-whites can't be racist in this country because we don't control the power dynamic.

See, racism is about is the ability to institutionally control your opportunities in life.

We don't have that power.

Racism goes one way.

It's a lifestyle dictation where the superior financially and resource wise is able to dictate to the lesser financially, not lesser in humanity, but lesser in resources, connections with the you should be doing how much minimum wage is.

How much you going to pay for a pair of jeans?

What's going to put you in jail if you get into it with your bitch?

How much time you going to do if you go to jail?

They have studies where they show white guys convicted of the same exact crimes as blacks and Hispanics.

And they get three or four years for a crime.

And the Mexican or black dude gets 15 years.

So this is what racism is.

This is why, you know, me as a.

You know, as a black man in this country, I don't give a about the equality conversation when it comes to white people should be able to do it because black people know that you got a head start on a whole lot of shit.
