Race means a lot. It does, I think about a lot just because of the makeup of my family. Look, I'm married to a white French woman and we have two white kids.

[00:00:16]

Yeah. And now white supremacy is on the rise and I'm living with a house full of white people. I took them to D.C. over Thanksgiving break ups over D.C. and we went to the museum, the National Museum of African-American History and Culture. Yeah.

[00:00:43]

Oh, beautiful museum. I'm telling you, got to go in D.C., go to this museum. Seriously?

[00:00:50]

Yeah. I see the white people like. It's going to make me say it. We want to be sad. It made me proud. It made me proud. Yeah, it just reaffirmed what I always knew I like. I can do anything.

[00:01:33]

I can do anything. To come from people who survived all that shit and we still here and kicking it, I'm like I could do anything knoweth.

[00:01:44]

Yeah. I know this, and that's why you don't see a lot of black folks or like those survival type reality shows, we all need to fuck around like that.

[00:02:06]

Vein versus while doomsday preppers, no, thank you. We leave that for your blog post and get the same exhilaration just by driving around on expired tags. Well, one of my favorite ones to watch is naked and afraid, that's the best one if you haven't seen naked in a free treat yourself.

[00:02:40]

They take a man and a woman and they drop him off in some uninhabitable island or, you know, desert or Florida and. You know, like the Everglades, you know, the swamps, if they drop off and they got to get butt naked and they have to survive 21 days and they get to bring one item, usually the guy shows up with like some crazy knife or custom-made x or something. Right. And the woman she shows up with, like fishing nets or or maybe a fire starter.

[00:03:18]

But it was just one episode. This guy showed up with his axe and this woman showed up with a fucking magnifying glass.

[00:03:28]

The look on his face said it. All right. A magnifying glass like this, what you think we are here solving crimes? Love that show, there was an episode that stood out because it was a blacked out one on the show. Yeah, this black guy, he's paired up with this nice little white lady from North Dakota.

[00:03:58]

Right. They drop him off on this island. And and they were things were going great. Right.

[00:04:04]

So like day three white ladies, like, oh, Ronnell, he's he's a good team player and man, like the bugs and everything. It just it just nothing is bothering him. Nothing is affecting him out here. So I think we're going to be good. I mean, he keeps to himself, but I think we're going to be OK. Two days later, you find out that Ronnell is Helmly. These assholes book the homeless man to go on naked and afraid.

[00:04:43]

He got on that island, he thought he was in sandals, he was like, Oh. I can do this. That lady went home, she tapped out to, like, quit, I'm going home, she's like, I don't think he's ever going to leave. They book the homeless man to go on naked and afraid. That tells me that there was no black people in the room when they made that decision, a black person was not present because they had been like this.

[00:05:29]

You booking a black man? Are you out of your damn? If you need a black friend, you need a black friend is twenty nine days, if you don't have a black friend here, the problem?

[00:05:58]

But if you don't have one, I understand, I understand, it's scary. Yes, because of how we've been portrayed, right? Black people have always been portrayed as sinister, menacing, a threat. And you heard about the story in Chicago, black security guard, right at a club, there was a shooting. The black security guard apprehended the shooter, the cop show up, shoot the black security guard.

[00:06:33]

Yeah, because all they saw was a black man. Why can't we be the good guy? Like people, we need a better publicist. Now thought that we need a publicist. I wanted to publicize that the white guys used that pelvises kicks ass that publicity the best because they know how to spin it. Even when white guys fuck up, they can spin it. And where you won't, big ol all white guys are fucked up. No, because they make them individuals.

[00:07:16]

You know, crazy white guy shoots up a movie theater. They give you his back story. Right, to tell you where he went to school.

[00:07:24]

Oh, he was a loner. They put a picture up in the news of them. That's so sympathetic. I'm watching news. I'm like, oh, man. We need a better publicist. Yeah, I want to I want to campaign a campaign for black people. Right. How about how about, like some billboards all across the country of black people just doing fun, non-threatening, frivolous shit.

[00:08:00]

Just black people, just like Boehland, just. How about some slogans, you know, like Toys for Tots? How about a good slogan for black people? Hey, let's get back to business.

[00:08:26]

Like that. Or maybe, you know, something environmental, like like, oh, like show black people just taking out the recycling can, you know, like. We're black, but we're green. Watch Wanda Sykes, not normal, only on Netflix now.
