I will say Iāve seen white peoples get called out for appropriation but itās never as bad as with us.
And itās crazy cuz as a black kid growing up I usually gravitated towards Asian cinema and shows and s*** cuz I felt like even though they werenāt directly speaking to our issues I could still relate.
But Iām just a nigga with Chinese cousins so
Oh trust me it was the same for me but as I got older and more mature I noticed the levels of toxicity that existed and couldn't let that s*** slide anymore so I gradually found it less appealing but it still is a huge part of my childhood. yet being seen as "weird" for enjoying it also was a huge part but thats another conversation
or is it
very relevant and one of the funniest comedians I've ever listened to lol

I'm aware of the model minority myth. It might be disrespectful to you, or many others, but that doesn't change that what I said is true. In this society you benefit off of not being (visibly) black. I grew up around many asian people and one of my best friends is asian. Despite me being such good friends with this girl for years, her parents to this day don't want me hanging out with her because I am black. Mind you, I'm 5'3 and petite as f***, but they genuinely believe that hanging out with black people is a bad influence on their daughter. These same parents have no issue with her befriending white people, male or female and my friend has a lot of half white family members.
Wether people like to admit it or not, in current society being anything but black is already considered an achievement. Being viewed as a monolith is something black people deal with as well, and I'm aware being considered a model minority isn't good at all trust me, but asians undeniably play a role in upholding the system that views black people as less than. Having your own struggles does not mean you can't have a hand in fueling other peoples struggles. It's a win win because a certain group is fighting for your struggles, while you also benefit from upholding the struggles of that same group.
i def agree that black people had always had it the worst, wouldn't argue that.
i just took issue with the wording "win". only white people been winning, they always made sure of that

Oh nah I donāt let s*** slide. But luckily for me I live in New York, I donāt know where you reside but I mostly come into contact with minorities my age who know that their elders be on some f*** s***

Such a gifted comic, you can easily tell apart what comedians have to try hard and get writers to make their jokes for them versus guys like Patrice where they can just riff naturally and end up saying the funniest s***
Stop generalizing ppl of race you morons , its 2019, wtf
Calm down ikarus
Idk why they kiss ass of white people who visit their country when those people just go back home and squint their eyes and mock them
I doubt youve been outside your cow town
Stop generalizing ppl of race you morons , its 2019, wtf
year doesn't change ancient way of thinking. it's not about race tbh, it's about Hierarchy and "Rulership"

Are poor whites living in places like north Virginia really 'winning' over poor blacks in inner city Baltimore? what about the poor Cambodian immigrant communities in California lol who are they winning over?

exactly, Patrice brought a thought out philosophical perspective. His whole view on men and women dude.. Black Phillip lol

yeah even if you poor but you can go outside and just be part of the majority, to just be a person, be judged based on your personality instead of some stereotypes about your skin color, is an advantage and a privilige.
Overall this isn't about racism. This is about rulership and classes and status'.
Jewish ppl have a strong culture. Every nationality has a land they can call their own. This land has an established culture where they set up their presidents, tell their own history, architect their own cities, create their own laws, build up their own businesses etc etc.
Jewish people the right to say whats offensive to them, and have the power to shut things down.
Black people simply don't have this. Everyone can say nigga and get away with it. There's no respect within our own society.
Indigenous Americans don't have this as well. Not a coincidence either, happy thanksgiving.
Until we build up our societies and develop our own wealth, so called racism will still plague us.
Youāre not wrong. My argument was simply that human beings will find any reason to develop a superiority complex. Whether that be race, gender, religion, or class.
Iām here for black ownership. The problem is we donāt have anything that really unifies us as a race since our entire culture was stripped from our ancestors. No language, no traditions, s*** ā not even a last name. Weāre just a bunch of crabs in a barrel

Same, man they could riff on anything. Rare Animal delicatessens lmao

the white people into asian culture the most are usually the most racist

They donāt wanna answer that become their point crumbles

they go there to try to have s***with Asian women at that...
Solidarity between minorities doesn't really exist.It sounds cute in theory when a POC speaks about all minorities unifying but the truth is everyone hates us (black people) not just racist white people. It used to f*** me up finding out or realizing how prejudice or racist a lot of my my non black POC friend's families were/are but it is what it is. At the end of the day the only people that are really going to have our backs is ourselves and we cant even get it together to do that in most cases we are so divided.

agreed, we will constantly create a hierarchy system to adhere to.
I see so many reasons that Black and Asian people should have some of the strongest solidarity out of all of our large POC world. Whether its bonding through how atrociously we've been treated throughout history, because I know, Asians have far from had it good either - or - just rallying together to stop the divide and focus on bringing down the "real" enemy.
Solidarity should be a first thought, I know so many white people who weaponize their proximity to Asians and go on about how asians love them so they can treat them any type of way but I rarely see Asians standing up for THEMSELVES when this sort of stuff happens and I always assume its cause they value that proximity as it lets them operate in white space aka better chances in life - even as far as marrying a white person as a status symbol. Not saying people dont marry out their race for love but Ive known asian girls specifically date white guys because they shame their own men.
thats another issue, we both as different communities face separate issues but also have something differing us from communicating together as brothers and sisters but that s*** needs to be dead because at the end of the day
who the f*** is the one looking down on us all? we both know
A lot of Asians out there are brainwashed into thinking weāre aligned with white people. If only they knew the truth. If only they knew how we are fetishized as objects and circus animals to white people.
The white worship among lots of Asians is sickening and embarrassing. Weāre just a prop for white people to use to prevent and reduce solidarity among minorities, and I know that.
It doesnāt help that colorism has been a prevalent theme in some Asian countries as well, so they had this concept of white being best and black being worst long before they touched American soil. Colorism definitely needs to be eliminated in Asian countries as well.
