Actually, the reason issues exist is due to lack of education. The lower class focuses on issues. So basically lil wayne is educated. To him racism is just a form of competitive spirit. As james brown said. Open the door and ill get it myself.
@Chief Hawk more white people listen to ALL HIP HOP than black Even if you go to a grizelda concert this is true Don't be dumb , Wayne prolly has more black people in his shows than more hardcore rappera
I love Lil Wayne....racism...in us does not exist....YES....YES....AFTER TRUMPS NEXT FOUR YEARS.....LIL WAYNE FOR PRESIDENT......OH YEAH....GOD BLESS....I KNOW YOUR MAMA IS PROUD OF YOU.....I KNOW I AM....LOVE YOU LIL BRUH WAYNE....
As a black man I love hearing this… I have NEVER ever dealt with Racism IN MY LIFE! Some of the closest friends/brothers I have in this life and the next are white… and you couldn’t tell any of us that we aren’t family. I have never been treated differently by any of their family members if anything they have treated me as one of their own. I’ve been privileged enough to go to private schools and colleges and I can tell you my blackness has never precluded me from doing ANYTHING that I put my mind too! Blaming racism is so much easier than blaming yourself for being unable to have a vision and chase it. All love! And I hope all that read this have a blessed day!
You are welcomed here in tn anytime. I am not denying racism exists, but could we be reasonable about the situations at least. Stop assuming. Be responsible for your part.
i also feel like when the new generations are racist it comes from a place of trying to be as hurtful/toxic as possible, not them actually being racist if u know what i mean.
Lil Wayne is clearly saying , he has never experienced racism and a white man saved his life! All the time the whole interview seemed like they wanted him to say something toward “racism”! God bless you and your Familia Lil Wayne🙌🏼❤️
Weezy is FAR FAR FAR more intelligent than 99.99999% of the world. Dont you dare try to insult and push that man to think something he doesn’t feel espn.
Wrong. Hard work and determination and luck had to do with his success. A lot of rappers, big names, think they've been victims of racism. Don't generalize
Doesn’t mean anything regarding the fact that there are still significant racial issues in this country that have to be adressed. Don’t forget that less than 3 centuries ago this country was founded on slavery, only 50 years ago did we get rid of segregation
@@georgepolychronopoulos647 slavery was here long before europeans showed up. Have you read what native Americans were doing to each other and Mexicans?

+Darius “Sheep” Wright Georgia bush is about Hurricane Katrina bro stop putting words in the mans mouth that aren't there... Read the lyrics close its about Katrina and guess what? He even says in the song he wasn't there. You can try as hard as you want to make him fit your narrative but it's not working
@Chief Hawk no education ? After he obtained his GED he took classes at the University of houston & the University of Phoenix & talent? You probably only heard his radio stuff but the man has some deep meaningful lyrics in alot of his songs. It's always the ones that look at the poster & judge right away without reading the whole thing.
I liked how both Shannon and Lil Wayne were able to both clearly state their views with respect. Racism is a touchy subject no matter where you stand. If you talk about it, you risk pushing people away; if you don't, you risk not bringing truth and light into a situation.
BrownsugaKO77 I get “you think you’re not black!? This affects you too man.” Or “well your not black enough.” It’s all the same to a racist. I don’t need white people’s approval. Black people are waking up.
He clearly isn’t high at all during this. And ppl who smoke for years don’t get “high” anymore. It’s called being a adult. You should delete everything before “has waaaayyy more”
me too. I always hated him based on his music and his appearance. znow that ive heard him speak from his heart I see I was judging a book by its cover. he's intelligent, articulate and that story at the end was touching to hear.
@@asdgsdgsasghsdhadsr6053 luck needs to be paired with hard work if anyone want to be consistently successful. Striking the lottery needs luck. How many times can one person strike the lottery? Jordan would not be as good as he was if he had not trained so hard. Same can be said of kobe. These guys outworked all their competitors. That being said, there is a slight element of luck that they did not receive any injuries that would had ruined their careers. At the end of the day, hard work, and refusing to be seen as a victim, will bring you to much greater heights than the guy who just plays video/mobile games all the time.
No he is rich, a celebrity and a icon. You see lil Wayne not a regular man. If he were a regular person with his tats and obvious drug use he would be heavily discriminated against.
@@bigmac22ify he was not discriminated before and after he was famous. If he was discriminated, how did he become successful in the first place? His success was what led him to fame. He refused the title of "victim" and rose above that. His willingness to work hard was what brought him to where he is now. Same as tiger woods. The best golfer in the world. So good that he beat all the other white dudes on the green. If tiger thought that he was a victim, he would still had been a caddy.
Sam Lim doing the same with Kanye. Smh. Look at Kanye’s lyrics and what he says. Predicted this years ago. Kanye never changed, society and our culture changed and it’s terrible Marxist that are trying to change us, aka destroy American values
It's sad as a black man Lil Wayne had to feel careful in expressing that he hasn't experienced racism. He had to tread lightly on his own experience. Pretty wild.
He made himself he made his legacy from what he had he’s not gonna let people use his skin color for a cause he doesn’t care about that’s not his affiliation lil Wayne is more than just a black male he’s more than a significant black male in the black community he’s more than a wealthy black male he’s just a person and maybe if they talked more about his music and it’s influence than they would of gotten a better interview
marek falk Not coming from whites. You black people are your own worst enemies when it comes to this issue. You're literally pushing people into the alt-right with all your race-baiting and wanna-be victimhood. Blacks are at a point now where they're universally disliked by pretty much all races.
“When you come to a person like me, my answers always the same, man. My politics, my flag, my country, my nation, my world, all that, is Reginae, Cameron, Neal, and his brother, Tuney. That’s it. That’s my nation, that’s my flag, that’s my world, that’s my protest, that’s my don’t protest, that’s my everything. That’s all that matters, those four kids to me.” - The Great Lil Wayne. A very smart man
OHiWONder Gaming Ignoring an insult and not letting it get to you is probably the best if not the only way to actually get rid of racism. Feel free to mention alternatives, all ears.
I don't know about everyone else but I love Wayne's answer. For the new millennials like myself I am 26 white guy I grew up listening to rap and never thought once about racism, unfortunately some of us were born into this racist world. I do look back at the 60s and before and see the segregation and it makes me sick like how could this shit even happen? But it gives me a migraine even seeing some comments on the internet I believe the worse comes out of SOME people on the internet that's why I don't even look at the comments anymore cause some of it makes me sick. But in terms of REAL LIFE experience, shit I live near Detroit and I've never experienced racism myself first hand. But I know for sure it still exists. But honestly if it's someone younger like me, that was taught from an earlier generation.
THE VOICE No I said everyone's experiences are different. People can judge me all they want I dont give a fuck, but until someone talks to me in person then I dont care it is what it is
I like how simple Lil Wayne is. He tells his story, everyone tries to insert a narrative and he’s pretty much like “ya’ll need me to tell the story again?”
As a 30yr westcoast boy that's mixed... never dealt with real racism personally either.. I work with an (late 50s) older black man that swears he gets followed everywhere by police in his porche and constantly watched because he's a black guy in an expensive car. everyday the guy passes me on the freeway doing 100mph after work.
There was this investigation into 'driving while black' to see if black people would disproportionally get pulled over. They did, however they were also disproportionally speeding.
If the police get enough calls on somone speeding day to day around a certain time, they WILL wait at the right point and time to get you or check the plate on the vehicle. I'm white and i got pulled of going 34 in a 25 and the 2 days before i heard someone yell slow down both days and they had a cop hiding down a side street the 3rd day because they called obviously. It's not a black or white matter, it's who's driving that way. For all the people that want to bring racism or bigotry into things...
I got pulled over today by a white cop. The asshole got me going 75mph in 60mph zone. I asked him "Why you pull me over when there were four other cars around me going the same speed? I was going the speed of traffic." You know what the guy said? "My lazer can only measure one car at a time and you are driving a really pretty car." For the record I drive a black mustang convertible, that shit still pissed me off though. Not saying he's racist, but that was some bullshit and yea this happened about 8hrs ago.
He just was rich and famous at 14 so being a celebrity that early u probably won't have to unlike us regular black men who live a totally different fight.
The story about the cop saving his life was incredibly emotional. Nearly made me cry. Seemed like it almost did the same to him. We're all one my friends. Let's be good to one another.
I've seen this 3 years ago and this statement remains true... I've never experienced racism. It's about how you act you treat people with respect you get respect.. don't believe in the narrative the media pushes
three years ago. I was happily oblivious to racism and its effects until I faced it at work . Strangely, this happened , not in America, but while doing a contract in Africa for an American contractor. Some American Hicks made their racism clear then I can see how he would go 33 years without having to experience the pain of racism, but I had my first real awakening to racism in my thirties as well. I appreciate that he is not making up a story or pretending. Shannon also said as much.
You got it right! TY! Do you see the media doing what they do? First, he was only there because of this so they knew his stance! Do you see how hard they tried to bait him into agreeing... I love Lil W, he not only stuck to his opinion, but 1. He confirmed he grew up in a situation as bas as it gets 2. He gives specific examples against this narrative! *where he grew up. *Shot himself v young, white cops ran in, more concerned a lil kid was shot & saved him *Confirmed how can there be racism when a guy like him, where he came from, became so successful? “Half my fans are white, love me, & made me successful “? He’s never seen it & he wasn’t always famous! I don’t see or know why there’s a color, to him he is successful in and as an American!!!!
it’s called prejudice most of the time not racist. All people have been pre judged because who they are or appear to be! Everyone has dealt w experiences of it, including me... I experienced a different race picked over me plenty of times, from HS FB , being a coach, being overlooked,not picked on a team, etc....... Someone said it, it’s not always about color it’s about who we are & what we do! He grew up just as rough as anyone, he did something about it he says....
I don't say I don't see color, of course I do. However it is not something I factor in when assessing my first impression of a person. The reason why is that every race is labeled with stereotypes and knowing that every individual is unique puts thier racial makeup at the bottom of the list in terms of the criteria I use for assessing another human being.
What if the cop hops out saying you were involved in an incident then you say what are you talking about and he says he’s cuffing you while you say hold on to get info, next thing you know your jumped and tased for fitting a description completely opposite of you??? You’re wrong and until it happens to you or someone close you won’t realize.
@@ballhogelite No Shannon was definitely mad af that a black man told him that racism is not as big of a problem as he makes it out to be right on his own show. Hence why he tried to spin Wayne's words around right away lol
@@dcyoungfly187 Respectfully disagreeing and completely twisting someone's words around to fit your narrative are two different things. We all know how much Shannon Sharpe loves to pull the race card and talk about race, makes sense that he would get upset for another black man to look at him and tell him how ridiculous that really is
I really think yall r just being sensitive to Shannon response bcuz he didnt twist his words at all but anyway that's ok we jus going to have to dissagree.
Put it this way, he recognizes that racism isnt as prevalent or to the degree the media and others claim it to be. He knows people commit racist acts, but he also knows that the acts cannot be generalized to whole group or body
he ant liein, how much racism u deal with on a day to day basis............ of course ther racism but most of the time its rich old white folks and shit its rare man all yal liein
+Gary W-l-o-t Not all rich whites are racist but all Black lives matter protestors are. This is because by blacks segregating themselves it's racist. I just have to point out that it's not true that all rich whites aren't racist.

@@darielrowe1324 ...no, he's likely going to jail for possession of a firearm which was illegal for him to do. Doesn't have any bearing on if his point was valid or not.
Many many many blacks have never experienced racism however we’re forced to believe we have been victims of it. Much respect to Wayne for being honest. I too, a 31 year old black woman from the great state of Georgia has never experienced racism either.
@@thetaylor650 Racism isn't a thing in today's day an age man. Clearly there's black people out there who don't want to live their whole life, pretending they're victims against something that's never even happend to them.

It's because you dont know what your looking at the fact you said you live in georgia and never experienced racism tells me you've obviously never lived anywhere else
h w The rich are the ones to take the risks and responsibilities of large corporations. If you work for that company and it goes downhill, they lose all of their investments, thousands, if not millions of dollars. You, the worker, only lose your job. It seems to me that you want to oppress rich people because they are more successful than you.
am not a fruit He got choked up at the end. How the other policemen, jumped over him. The white one, asked wt***then picked him up, & carried him to the hospital. He got mad, you could see it in his eyes! He didn't want to get into details, but they kept pushing him! He looked like he wanted to cuss them out.
Here goes some truth like more white people have killed police in 2016 www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-cops-killed-white-men-conservatives-silent-article-1.2632965
The fact that the interviewers tried to pressure him into going anti-white mindset. It's kind of sad. They're trying to fit their agenda and I respect lil Wayne on saying what he said.
exactly I didn't even have to scrool down n see what u said till after what I just said n u know exacly what I mean.. only diff is I said what everyones thinks... #respect
Who would have ever thought him and Kanye were such free thinkers? Often times, I find strong minded individuals in what seems like the least likely places.
@@darielrowe1324 how is he an idiot? As he said before he is no politician. He doesn't care about giving out his political views, they belong to himself. Let the man do what he loves the most, music and stop bothering him with stupid questions
@@darielrowe1324 why bc he didn't say what you wanted him to? He's humble respectful and isn't fake that's ridiculous and pathetic of you but I guess you're allowed to have you're opinion even if it's an emotional one filled with negativity
@@hotel228 And you're clearly showing everyone your ignorance, trying to keep me from voicing my opinion. When it's well known that everyone entitled to their own opinions.
@cahK It doesn't but it does at the same time. My take on this is, for Wayne to act like it isn't going on is f up. Wayne (like most of rappers), don't want to pick a side because he doesn't want to lose fans here and there. But, staying quiet is still selling out. That's a sell out move. But, he been sold out a long time ago. Like most do when they get up in fame. "They" tell'em to rap and make your money, BUT keep you mouth shut!" So, silence tells it all. That's why they hate Kaepernick and that's why I respect Lebron. Because he's not going to shut up and just dribble. When are y'all going to wake up? But, yet, the fact that you praise Wayne because he don't speak out and keep his mouth shut is ridiculous.
@Ty Ty Racism has always been going on. Not just when cell phones came out. Cell phones just recorded what has already been happening in the black community. On another note, how can Wayne say that when the police have been messing with him, raiding his buses and profiling him, etc. But, now, he don't know what's what? Come on!
I know what Wayne means when he says he has never experienced racism before. I get asked this question all the time as an African living in Australia and I have the same answer. Not to take anything away from those who have … people have been stupid and careless around me but to pin it down to racism I feel is far fetched.
i've never heard this guy speak before. this dude has such humility, gratitude and honor. he should be on every news outlet and talk show showing people what it truly means to be an awesome individual!
People really don’t understand that all Wayne does is watch sports, record music and do drugs. He isn’t checking into anything to see what’s going on, he just minds his own business and so respect it.
I am Hispanic, I have traveled several times to US and I actually lived there for 4 years.. I never felt that someone attacked me in any shape or form due to my ethnicity..Of course there are racists like in other country but I do not believe the racism in US is systematic.
It’s hard to hate Hispanics that come to America. I know a ton who came from Venezuela and they said it was a nightmare over there in terms of how corrupt the government was. Most of them are happy to come over here and put in hard work that pays off. They can invest in their own properties and have something that’s theirs. Something to call their own.
If you were a poor immigrant trying to cross over to the US you would experience racism in a big way. It's not something that effects everybody, but the ones it does effect have no voice so you have to think about people other than yourself.
@@MickeyNoble And by racism, do you mean they will be stopped from illegally crossing the border, if caught? Is that the racism you speak of? The illegal entry laws being enforced? And who are you to tell anyone else to think about someone other than themselves? How do you know who anyone else thinks about?
@@MickeyNoble it's not racism, it's a crime if you try to illegally cross the border. The laws don't care if you're white, black, or hispanic, a crime is a crime.
exactly - Skip and Shannon were visibly not happy hearing Little Wayne say he hasn't experienced racism and that he feels this is not a racist country !
Why do journalists ALWAYS ask a person of colour; actor, musician, about UNIVERSAL Race issues. They never ask white celebrities about Race & Racism. He´s just a musician not a politician.
They never ask white celebrities their opinion, because in the current US social climate, white opinions are viewed as lacking perspective and understanding, and are often seen as irrelevant
I love how he calls it a "blessing" as supposed to being a prominent figure. I got an extra new respect for Lil Wayne. That shows that he's a good soul.
What made me mad is when Shannon has to go out and say, “even though he hasn’t dealt with racism, he knows it exists.” When just earlier lil Wayne talked about his crowd and said “that’s proof there is no racism.”
B.B King said almost the same exact thing and he came from a different time. They didn’t even want to interview him when they couldn’t get him to admit victim hood!
I'm a young black man who went to an all white school but never experienced any kind of racism towards me. People may have talked behind my back but overall I was a favorite amongst my peers. This is something that gives me hope for humanity because no one should have to go through racism, even though it is highly prevalent
the token black guy ehh,..watch out for underhanded racism,.if you dont have intellect in politics,then alott of racist stuff was probably said to you and you didnt even know.
Pay attention to this interview. One man repeatedly having to explain that he hasn’t experienced racism. And the rest of them prodding and not letting it rest. Racism is being kept on life support by these talking heads. Lil Wayne is a beautiful man and I have the highest respect for him.
Morgan Freeman said that for a great reason. Why is only 1 month "Black History Month?" There is no "White History Month." Black history is American history. We should celebrate it and respect it. By you calling Freeman a "White person's black guy"...is that not further segregation? I thought we want to END segregation...not cause it. Are we really dividing up black people if some aren't "black enough?"
+TheShutYoMouth Nope, that's taking what he said out of context. He said he doesn't like the idea of a black history month because you can't confine it into a month. Black history is essential American history. He also states why there isn't a jewish history month, asian history month and etc.....
+Logical Thinker Lol. No one said shit about him not being Black enough. I simply called him an Uncle Tom. I'm sure that you who knows so much about Black Culture is aware of what that is. As a Black Man, that statement is fucking stupid. Black History Month is highly unappreciated. Hell, Black History in general is unappreciated. The simple fact that schools still Marginalize Cultural history's is asinine. History is History. Black History matters just as much as White History, yet in order to become a legal citizen, people are questioned on White History. I agree with the statement that American history is Black History, but until it's treated as such and has just as much significance as White History, then I'm not interested in Black History Month being taken away. That's bull shit. You talk segregation, since when did Morgan Freeman speak for all Blacks? Why is Morgan Freeman even being brought up? It's a Race issue, because you guys think that if one Black person says it, it must be relative to all.
When he said those 4 kids are his nation, his protest, his world... That's truly deep and heartfelt, and if we could take a step back and shift our focus to do the same thing, might just be a better world to live in.
That's should be common sense. I'm sure everyone feels the same way about their own family. Whether it's their parents, sisters or brothers or you have your own family. So, that's real bs! His wealth and fame spoke for him is the reason why he never did.
@@jpotent101 you're right, that should be common knowledge for anyone that's got a heart beat. But I wasn't putting him on a shelf, I rewatched this video to see how or if my vision changed in almost a year, and it hasn't swayed much. If people would shift their focus to what really matters to them, and people weren't taught about racist acts and all, then I still think the world would be a better place if we could do that
@@issa-me-lissa I get what your saying M, but your IF is a BIG IF. What about the people 400 years ago or more? They had IF's too. I don't understand why Wayne put his family up on top of the world and not caring about others? And for the people riding with him cheering him on, wrong too. Whatever happened to love thy neighbor? Or did that go out the window?
@@jpotent101 well my guess would be because this world is full of traders who can tell you to your face one thing, and do something different when you're not looking. Doesn't matter what color they are.
They literally sat there and tried to suck the lie of racism out of this man! And again and again he never gave them what they wanted to hear! That is reality! I have high respect for Wayne
this racism shit is fucking joke...a lot of USA cops not trained well....if someone made statistics how much cops killed white and blacks.. stats would be very close....just when cops kills black person its bigger news....
Lil Wayne never said that racism isn't a thing. He said it obviously was. He said that racism wasn't a thing FOR HIM. He hasn't experienced it, and that's not the same as denying it exists. He doesn't have those issues, so don't ask him about it. THAT'S what he said.
Of course racism exists. The same way that murders happen, or crimes will be committed. There's a big difference between understanding what's a general trend in society and what's abnormal, and Wayne understands that - racism is not "normal", it's a crime, just as any other crime in society, and it's not practiced in any way by normal people, irregardless of race, gender or social class. I've never listened to his music, but he sure has my full respect for being honest, truthful and intelligent in these mad days.
Henkan agree with you totally. I think we can all agree the crime of racism is a crime and morally it’s just flat out wrong. But I personally can’t see racism ever totally going away. I think they’ll always have a small minority of all races that will be racist. It goes for white people and black people, as well as all the other races. The fact that some people believe that racism is only a white person problem is just wrong. Anyone has the ability to be ignorant.
HE ALSO SAID A WHITE COP PICKED HIM UP OFF THE FLOOR. WHILE OTHER COPS WALK. OBER LEFT HIM TO LOOK 4 DRUGS ETC THE WHITE COP PICKED HIm UP N DRIVE TO HOSPITAL
That's little Wayne experience but Shannon has had a totally different experience. Because you have never experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

He even says in the song he wasn't there. You can try as hard as you want to make him fit your narrative but it's not working
the last ten seconds. he explained that the officers was looking for drugs while one cop stop and saved him.

Lil Wayne just basically said "You aren't race baiting me fellas".
They tried; they failed.
I liked how both Shannon and Lil Wayne were able to both clearly state their views with respect. Racism is a touchy subject no matter where you stand. If you talk about it, you risk pushing people away; if you don't, you risk not bringing truth and light into a situation.

@@bigmac22ify he was not discriminated before and after he was famous. If he was discriminated, how did he become successful in the first place? His success was what led him to fame.

Same as tiger woods. The best golfer in the world. So good that he beat all the other white dudes on the green. If tiger thought that he was a victim, he would still had been a caddy.

I don't know about everyone else but I love Wayne's answer. For the new millennials like myself I am 26 white guy I grew up listening to rap and never thought once about racism, unfortunately some of us were born into this racist world. I do look back at the 60s and before and see the segregation and it makes me sick like how could this shit even happen? But it gives me a migraine even seeing some comments on the internet I believe the worse comes out of SOME people on the internet that's why I don't even look at the comments anymore cause some of it makes me sick. But in terms of REAL LIFE experience, shit I live near Detroit and I've never experienced racism myself first hand. But I know for sure it still exists. But honestly if it's someone younger like me, that was taught from an earlier generation.

As a 30yr westcoast boy that's mixed... never dealt with real racism personally either..
I work with an (late 50s) older black man that swears he gets followed everywhere by police in his porche and constantly watched because he's a black guy in an expensive car.
everyday the guy passes me on the freeway doing 100mph after work.
LOL...Yup, that's it too.
There was this investigation into 'driving while black' to see if black people would disproportionally get pulled over. They did, however they were also disproportionally speeding.
If the police get enough calls on somone speeding day to day around a certain time, they WILL wait at the right point and time to get you or check the plate on the vehicle. I'm white and i got pulled of going 34 in a 25 and the 2 days before i heard someone yell slow down both days and they had a cop hiding down a side street the 3rd day because they called obviously. It's not a black or white matter, it's who's driving that way. For all the people that want to bring racism or bigotry into things...
I got pulled over today by a white cop. The asshole got me going 75mph in 60mph zone.
I asked him "Why you pull me over when there were four other cars around me going the same speed? I was going the speed of traffic."
You know what the guy said? "My lazer can only measure one car at a time and you are driving a really pretty car."
For the record I drive a black mustang convertible, that shit still pissed me off though. Not saying he's racist, but that was some bullshit and yea this happened about 8hrs ago.
+MikeBNumba6 "not saying he's racist", well that's what you're implying. Otherwise, your statement would be completely irrelevant.
That’s why lil Wayne is rich and famous cause he doesn’t have a losers mentality
Exactly
Who are the losers?

He just was rich and famous at 14 so being a celebrity that early u probably won't have to unlike us regular black men who live a totally different fight.
@@berylpegues2746 yeah its sad that there are people out there that think that blm actually cares about black lives
Lil wayne is so down to earth... A man like him are so rare.. Respect
The story about the cop saving his life was incredibly emotional. Nearly made me cry. Seemed like it almost did the same to him. We're all one my friends. Let's be good to one another.
I've seen this 3 years ago and this statement remains true... I've never experienced racism. It's about how you act you treat people with respect you get respect.. don't believe in the narrative the media pushes
three years ago. I was happily oblivious to racism and its effects until I faced it at work . Strangely, this happened , not in America, but while doing a contract in Africa for an American contractor. Some American Hicks made their racism clear then
I can see how he would go 33 years without having to experience the pain of racism, but I had my first real awakening to racism in my thirties as well. I appreciate that he is not making up a story or pretending. Shannon also said as much.
You got it right! TY! Do you see the media doing what they do? First, he was only there because of this so they knew his stance! Do you see how hard they tried to bait him into agreeing... I love Lil W, he not only stuck to his opinion, but 1. He confirmed he grew up in a situation as bas as it gets 2. He gives specific examples against this narrative! *where he grew up. *Shot himself v young, white cops ran in, more concerned a lil kid was shot & saved him *Confirmed how can there be racism when a guy like him, where he came from, became so successful? “Half my fans are white, love me, & made me successful “? He’s never seen it & he wasn’t always famous! I don’t see or know why there’s a color, to him he is successful in and as an American!!!!
it’s called prejudice most of the time not racist. All people have been pre judged because who they are or appear to be! Everyone has dealt w experiences of it, including me... I experienced a different race picked over me plenty of times, from HS FB , being a coach, being overlooked,not picked on a team, etc....... Someone said it, it’s not always about color it’s about who we are & what we do! He grew up just as rough as anyone, he did something about it he says....
I don't say I don't see color, of course I do. However it is not something I factor in when assessing my first impression of a person. The reason why is that every race is labeled with stereotypes and knowing that every individual is unique puts thier racial makeup at the bottom of the list in terms of the criteria I use for assessing another human being.
What if the cop hops out saying you were involved in an incident then you say what are you talking about and he says he’s cuffing you while you say hold on to get info, next thing you know your jumped and tased for fitting a description completely opposite of you??? You’re wrong and until it happens to you or someone close you won’t realize.
Shannon really hated his answer lol
No Shannon was just shocked that wayne never saw racism... Wayne has been famous since he was a kid tho
@@ballhogelite No Shannon was definitely mad af that a black man told him that racism is not as big of a problem as he makes it out to be right on his own show. Hence why he tried to spin Wayne's words around right away lol
How did yall get that he was mad w/ his response to Wayne all he did was respectfully dissagree. He didnt even responded w/ a angry tone.
@@dcyoungfly187 Respectfully disagreeing and completely twisting someone's words around to fit your narrative are two different things. We all know how much Shannon Sharpe loves to pull the race card and talk about race, makes sense that he would get upset for another black man to look at him and tell him how ridiculous that really is
I really think yall r just being sensitive to Shannon response bcuz he didnt twist his words at all but anyway that's ok we jus going to have to dissagree.
Put it this way, he recognizes that racism isnt as prevalent or to the degree the media and others claim it to be. He knows people commit racist acts, but he also knows that the acts cannot be generalized to whole group or body
U broke it down well💖
I got respect for Wayne. He sees the world differently.
He's a liar though.

@cahK It doesn't but it does at the same time. My take on this is, for Wayne to act like it isn't going on is f up. Wayne (like most of rappers), don't want to pick a side because he doesn't want to lose fans here and there. But, staying quiet is still selling out. That's a sell out move. But, he been sold out a long time ago. Like most do when they get up in fame. "They" tell'em to rap and make your money, BUT keep you mouth shut!" So, silence tells it all. That's why they hate Kaepernick and that's why I respect Lebron. Because he's not going to shut up and just dribble. When are y'all going to wake up? But, yet, the fact that you praise Wayne because he don't speak out and keep his mouth shut is ridiculous.
@Ty Ty Racism has always been going on. Not just when cell phones came out. Cell phones just recorded what has already been happening in the black community. On another note, how can Wayne say that when the police have been messing with him, raiding his buses and profiling him, etc. But, now, he don't know what's what? Come on!

He might just just be a musician, but he has more influence on the people. Than any politician 😂
They never ask white celebrities their opinion, because in the current US social climate, white opinions are viewed as lacking perspective and understanding, and are often seen as irrelevant
@@RUSSIAappreview thank you
"Maybe just coming together IS the answer"
Powerful answer and very true
That’s impossible
Why don't you help Lil Wayne get out of Jail then? 🤔
Dariel Rowe why even say that?
That’s ALL we’ve gotta do. People make it hard to do that though.
I been following Wayne since he was 11 I always knew that he was special His world play at the age of 11 still bring chills down my spine
Makes me laugh how these people push an issue when there isn't one just to get the answer they want.
Righttttttt that interview was strange at best.

I love lil Wayne he lives his life with no moaning or blaming. He's just along for the ride. Top man

Well he’s rich so..
Lil' Wayne is amazing. They're pushing the race agenda on him and he's not having it. So much respect for keeping his ground. He doesn't see race.
He sees his reality. Other people's reality is not his truth.
He don't see race😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He`s sh!it scared to even have an opinion lol 😂 - we call that a b!tch around ere
@@lazyprepper5486 ...round ere too!!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@lazyprepper5486
Courage is to have your own opinion. Not be scared of the majority who don't share it.
I'm from New Orleans too and the people there are the Village. I loved growing up there because of the Love ❤️
I love how he calls it a "blessing" as supposed to being a prominent figure. I got an extra new respect for Lil Wayne. That shows that he's a good soul.
As supposed. As supposed. As opposed 🤦♂️.
You truly believe THIS man has never dealt with racism???......ok
@@resolve06 you truly don't ?... sad, but ok
This group just can't accept his answer. Frustrating
What made me mad is when Shannon has to go out and say, “even though he hasn’t dealt with racism, he knows it exists.” When just earlier lil Wayne talked about his crowd and said “that’s proof there is no racism.”
I guess they were trying to help him to not go to jail 4 years later. When OGs talk you listen instead of act big.
@@purplerain2421 He was talking about the present. He acknowledged racism and I’m certain he knows abt mfking slavery. Did you understand the video?
@@korcher0142 you are one stupid bigot
@@Nodnarb69 ehh, they ARE his fans, they won't be racist. He needs to drive through Missouri and Pennsylvania.
He’s being honest and not falling for the race baiting. Much respect!
Lil Wayne is truly wise, open eyes. He doesn’t give in to hate.
His last sentence: A white cop picked me up and took me to the Hospital...
that was amazing
B.B King said almost the same exact thing and he came from a different time. They didn’t even want to interview him when they couldn’t get him to admit victim hood!
@@Navy35 link?
@@boogabuga7657 It at the end of this video
@@Kyle-li8wi Umm.. Nope, no BB King in this video.
I'm a young black man who went to an all white school but never experienced any kind of racism towards me. People may have talked behind my back but overall I was a favorite amongst my peers. This is something that gives me hope for humanity because no one should have to go through racism, even though it is highly prevalent
stephen i know you dont wanna say anything to start no BS.... but he really let us down....
i wonder y
I had those exact same experiences.
the token black guy ehh,..watch out for underhanded racism,.if you dont have intellect in politics,then alott of racist stuff was probably said to you and you didnt even know.
cu just luojklkvhigbhkguu
Lil Wayne wont let someone push him to be with the "movement" so that is pretty badass.
Yeah he lied to protect his majority white fanbase.... that's honorable..
Pay attention to this interview. One man repeatedly having to explain that he hasn’t experienced racism. And the rest of them prodding and not letting it rest. Racism is being kept on life support by these talking heads. Lil Wayne is a beautiful man and I have the highest respect for him.
Remember what Morgan Freeman said about racism. "Stop talking about it."
Morgan Freeman also said there should be no Black History Month. His opinion is White Washed. Morgan Freeman is every White person's Black guy.
Morgan Freeman said that for a great reason. Why is only 1 month "Black History Month?" There is no "White History Month." Black history is American history. We should celebrate it and respect it.
By you calling Freeman a "White person's black guy"...is that not further segregation? I thought we want to END segregation...not cause it. Are we really dividing up black people if some aren't "black enough?"
+TheShutYoMouth Nope, that's taking what he said out of context. He said he doesn't like the idea of a black history month because you can't confine it into a month. Black history is essential American history. He also states why there isn't a jewish history month, asian history month and etc.....
+Logical Thinker Lol. No one said shit about him not being Black enough. I simply called him an Uncle Tom. I'm sure that you who knows so much about Black Culture is aware of what that is. As a Black Man, that statement is fucking stupid. Black History Month is highly unappreciated. Hell, Black History in general is unappreciated. The simple fact that schools still Marginalize Cultural history's is asinine. History is History. Black History matters just as much as White History, yet in order to become a legal citizen, people are questioned on White History. I agree with the statement that American history is Black History, but until it's treated as such and has just as much significance as White History, then I'm not interested in Black History Month being taken away. That's bull shit. You talk segregation, since when did Morgan Freeman speak for all Blacks? Why is Morgan Freeman even being brought up? It's a Race issue, because you guys think that if one Black person says it, it must be relative to all.
Fuck him, he cleary doesn't know what he's talking about. He needs to stick to narration with his old ass.
When he said those 4 kids are his nation, his protest, his world... That's truly deep and heartfelt, and if we could take a step back and shift our focus to do the same thing, might just be a better world to live in.
That's should be common sense. I'm sure everyone feels the same way about their own family. Whether it's their parents, sisters or brothers or you have your own family. So, that's real bs! His wealth and fame spoke for him is the reason why he never did.
@@jpotent101 you're right, that should be common knowledge for anyone that's got a heart beat. But I wasn't putting him on a shelf, I rewatched this video to see how or if my vision changed in almost a year, and it hasn't swayed much. If people would shift their focus to what really matters to them, and people weren't taught about racist acts and all, then I still think the world would be a better place if we could do that
@@issa-me-lissa I get what your saying M, but your IF is a BIG IF. What about the people 400 years ago or more? They had IF's too. I don't understand why Wayne put his family up on top of the world and not caring about others? And for the people riding with him cheering him on, wrong too. Whatever happened to love thy neighbor? Or did that go out the window?
@@jpotent101 well my guess would be because this world is full of traders who can tell you to your face one thing, and do something different when you're not looking. Doesn't matter what color they are.
@@issa-me-lissa They're called backstabbers.
And a white cop saved his life when he was 12,maybe that had a impact on how he's sees the world .he's like I'm just me man .
And your just you .
If all people just saw it like that
you're*
@@MidnightOfRain stupid 🤣🤣🤣
They literally sat there and tried to suck the lie of racism out of this man! And again and again he never gave them what they wanted to hear! That is reality! I have high respect for Wayne
I find it hilarious (and disturbing) how they were essentially trying to get him to play the victim. Thank god he didn't give in!
I HATE Shannon. It’s a big baby man child looking for excuses to be a victim even though he’s on ESPN AND A MILLIONAIRE🤦♂️
Damn, he's much smarter than he looks.
He doesn't look very smart at all. He looks high lol.
The Revengers he finished school 🤣
Nobody saying he’s dumb but he plays both sides when it works for him and his finance.
The Revengers he is very educated tho ... don’t judge so fast ..
He actually is. Always had been, even before this whole controversy.
Lol dude not trying to lose any fans. Playing it safe.
finally someone has the right comment. exactly what he's doing. scared fucker don't wanna lose money
+Derek2k16 damn that's what y'all got outta his interviews? Y'all know him personally?
He just got a new fan from me. So maybe he just needs to lose the "losers" who want to keep propagating the lie of racism.
Or telling the truth?
this racism shit is fucking joke...a lot of USA cops not trained well....if someone made statistics how much cops killed white and blacks.. stats would be very close....just when cops kills black person its bigger news....
"Racism is so not cool that kids don't even mention it. It's like , 'what? Why bring it up'" Exactly! That's what I try to tell people.
I don't listen to his music but I like his message. He believes in god and family. I have a lot of respect for him.
Lil Wayne never said that racism isn't a thing. He said it obviously was. He said that racism wasn't a thing FOR HIM. He hasn't experienced it, and that's not the same as denying it exists. He doesn't have those issues, so don't ask him about it. THAT'S what he said.
Of course racism exists. The same way that murders happen, or crimes will be committed. There's a big difference between understanding what's a general trend in society and what's abnormal, and Wayne understands that - racism is not "normal", it's a crime, just as any other crime in society, and it's not practiced in any way by normal people, irregardless of race, gender or social class. I've never listened to his music, but he sure has my full respect for being honest, truthful and intelligent in these mad days.
Henkan agree with you totally. I think we can all agree the crime of racism is a crime and morally it’s just flat out wrong. But I personally can’t see racism ever totally going away. I think they’ll always have a small minority of all races that will be racist. It goes for white people and black people, as well as all the other races. The fact that some people believe that racism is only a white person problem is just wrong. Anyone has the ability to be ignorant.
Henkan 3:47 ...
HE ALSO SAID A WHITE COP PICKED HIM UP OFF THE FLOOR. WHILE OTHER COPS WALK. OBER LEFT HIM TO LOOK 4 DRUGS ETC THE WHITE COP PICKED HIm UP N DRIVE TO HOSPITAL
It doesn't exist as it's portrayed to you It's an illusion
I love how sharp kept trying to bait Wayne. My man wasn't falling for it.
That's little Wayne experience but Shannon has had a totally different experience. Because you have never experienced it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
@@thetruthinsports Preach OG ✊🏿
looked to me like Sharpe was wearing it like a badge of honor though... "check my timeline" he says...
Nah you gotta watch the whole thing Shannon said he is proud of Wayne for not making anything up and sticking to his story
😂😂😂
Lil Wayne handled those questions with such grace. He truly is amazing and a winner, the ending was so powerful 🙌
RESPECT LIL WAYNE👏👏👏 Your honesty humility and speaking from the heart has me on the edge of tears!Incredible soul!
Weezy has never experienced racism because he's not racist, its that simple
He is black...he CAN'T be racist. What he is....is an idiot. Your profile picture is dead on, neanderthal.
exactly
@@ichatwithwhoiwant3704 Foh with that bs, blacks can be racist and are probably more racist than whites and its the dumb ones like you that make society hard for others
@@ichatwithwhoiwant3704 lol black folks are the most racist ppl out there. A good majority of black ppl absolutely hate white ppl.
@@johnkelly9809 ....No, John...we are prejudice. We have the same, if not worse, thoughts about whyte folks. The problem IS... we didnt use those thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs to build a system to oppress another race of people. Racist, racism....is power based. And for the record....you are right. The large majority of us hate you...but, what can we DO about it? Side note : There are three whyte people on this planet that I would die for....JoAnne, Troy, and Cindy. Anytime, Any place.
I was taught in the 90s to never judge someone by the color of their skin. Here I am in 2020 listening to race baiters. Blows my mind.
The last 5 seconds of this video says it all.
This man is as real as real gets and that’s all I need to say. Rap isn’t really my thing but I’ve always listened to his and enjoyed it. I respect Lil Wayne for his actions and his beliefs. Even after all his blessings he still has a very clear belief system and will not be taken from his path. Love this guy!
Just another gang banging primitive 🦍
