@TraeCrowderLiberalRedneck
70 year old Nana here. I wear a tee shirt that reads, "RACISM IS SO AMERICAN...THAT WHEN YOU PROTEST 'IT'...PEOPLE THINK YOU ARE PROTESTING AMERICA." I love pointing out to people who give me grief that their irritation with the idea...pretty much 'proves' the point.
BTW I love me some Trea.
I have the "MAKE RACISM WRONG AGAIN" tee-shirt in MAGA red. I have similar experiences.
The N word is the mispronunciation of Niger? Is that what you mean?
FREE BUT COMPULSORY EDUCATION
an INDOCTRINATION which
(most small and very impressionable kids are forced into this weirdness …or their parents go to prison)
Racism has always existed and always will, I have fun watching people try and fight it🍿 I guess it gives some people a reason for their existence
I love your shirt!! I saw an online post recently that said: “Racism is baked into America’s soil. Then…it’s
roto-tilled and composted back every July 4th”.
It appears to me that ALL these statements are true. 🇺🇸🗽
I'm an old liberal white guy and I just read 'White Fragility - why white people find it so hard to talk about racism' by Robin DiAngelo. I wish every white American would read this book AND take the advice to heart. It would go a long way toward harmonizing relations in our country.
Where's the racism? Please explain. I'm confused, because I have no idea what you people are talking about. I'm from Boston by the way.
I left you a comment.
Read the book then maybe you will get a clue.@@ShinobiShaman
@@ShinobiShaman Are you a white person? I am, and even I have witnessed the racism in this Nation. Do you never watch the news? Do you not keep up on current events? Do you never read a newspaper or read the real news on the net? (Not what your drunk uncle posts on his face book page.)
@@ShinobiShaman
“I’m from Boston.”
‘Nuff said.
I was born and still live in southern Ohio. Racism is alive and well in this "northern" state. The town i grew up in was a Sundown Town. Al Roker featured it in his documentary, Waverly, Ohio. It's the reason I have been liberal since childhood. In the early 70's as a child i had just learned to read well enough to read signs and was proudly reading every sign to my poor mother. On the railroad overpass in the middle of town was a 10 foot long white sign that said, "N word go home before dark". My mother had to explain what it meant. But i couldn't grasp why anyone would hate people like that. It was kinda life altering for me. It never has left my brain. That shock and disappointment. One of my best friends in grade school was black. None of it made sense. My friend's family moved away. At the time i didn't know why, but i have a good guess. Kinda long winded, but just pointing out that racism is not tied to geography. It's only tied to hatred and anywhere there are people who are so insecure that they need others to look down upon.
Not long-winded; a very well done post on something that can't fit on a bumper sticker. Thank you.
I leased a farm near Cynthiana in the 90s. The sign was gone from Waverly by then.
@@leoscheibelhut940 We just got a little reminder here that Americans live very close together in some ways. Let's be nice to our neighbors; we might meet them someday.
I grew up in southern Virginia right near the North Carolina border, when i moved away i was shocked that, that racism isnt so prevalent here in New Mexico
SORRY BUT NO ITS EXCLUSIVELY A WHITE PEOPLE THING YA MONOPOLIZE PAIN AND SUFFERING
On point! "Racism is baked into the soil." Then, rototilled and composted back every season.
As a gardener,/grower, I have to say this is perfect 💯
😂🤣😂🤣
lol!!
Well said!❤
Every generation.
“I suppose this is what “Johnny Appleseed” was up to all along.” 🇺🇸🗽
I grew up in the 1960s watching the riots and my Dad verbally letting loose on the television for that happening. Got exposed to the N-word a bit. Not being like him was a conscious choice I made. I saw the injustice and could not stomach it.
That was my experience too. I just could not see that you look at someone and think you know what they're worth. Frankly there were folks in my "nice white" family who could have soured me altogether on whites. 😂
It wasn't my parents but our whole social network (church). My fav: "We're not racist, we just like segregation"
Me too 😊 I'm a white lady from small white town America. My family gets frustrated because I am so political and passionate.
I say blame our parents. At 8/9 yrs old I probably shouldn't have watched Walter Cronkite. I knew it was horrible wrong and that I would do my part to fight it. 💙
@kendallsmith1458 the message in the sect I was forced to be part of was that I should love all minorities. Just don't even think of marrying outside my color bar. Then I found out I was part native American and Spanish. I was lied to. And told not to tell anyone. It would embarrass the family. Systemic racism runs deep and religions have a stake in trying to maintain the status quo.
@patriciamurfitt4590 I stood up with my older brother against my father's racist opinions at the dinner table one night. My brother was too far away to bear the brunt of doing that, and I was too slow at ducking. Life was rough in my family.
My school was much bigger, much richer. 3 black students. But we were worse because we didn't know we were racist.
My grandma had a cross burnt in her front yard because she stood against racism, but the mixed race children in the family were rejected.
Just a touch of racism is just plane racism.
The Help movie quote
“They love you when they are children but when they grow up they act just like their mothers” always seems more true.
Like Trae's entertaining approach. He and Bill Burr are aligned with how George Carlin delivered comedy. 👍🏾
Love this episode!
Dr Hunter I wish i knew the answer for eliminating racism in this country. It is so ingrained that it is appalling. Previously i had mentioned that i am “the white guy.” I grew up in a small north eastern New Mexico town with a small college. There was a whole mix of people who attended the college both then and now. Obviously my father was white. My mother is a Latina. She is a mix of Hispanic and Italian. My father always referred to her as Italian. He never could mention that his wife or his son had any Hispanic blood, the shame of that. My father was an abject racist. To him anyone who had a skin color darker than his was a thief, a liar and lazy. This included most of my mother’s family and any of the college students at the small university. He suckled racism straight off his mamma’s breast. Thankfully i saw the light at a very young age and did not follow in his footsteps. Here in the US we have so very far to go to eliminate racism, something i fear i will not see in my lifetime. One month given for Black History, is an insult. Black History is American history. The US is this amazing mixture of people and cultures. This thriving mix of people with dreams, hopes and aspirations. As an American people we should be celebrating this rainbow of diversity that we are, not still using the same old tropes to keep us divided.
Great post. "The rainbow of diversity" is an even better phrase than our old "melting pot", which I grew up loving down to my toenails. Yeah, my grandfather used to get drunk and threaten to "kill his kids and start over" because he hated that Grandmother's family was Jewish. still smh.
“Why racism still exists?”
For precisely the same reason that sexism, classism, ageism
continue to exist: a collection of people are much easier to control with these forms of state-sanctioned social divisions.
@@meknottyou3998 Hi. Not arguing; thinking about your post. I had always thought that racism started as jealousy by individuals who hate and fear the unknown, which can include almost everything and everybody. Hateful individuals then build hateful states. Your turn?
I live in NM. My friends tell me that the only reason I don't catch hell from the Hispanic majority is because they think I'm Hispanic and speak more Spanish than most of them.
Trae learned early that being racist would get your ass kicked during his generation. So F that!🤣😂
Love seeing Trae Crowder on your show and your show itself. My back story is similar to Trae's, but I'm from WV. I didn't have any kind of relationship with a black person until I was in high school, and it was my basketball coach. He believed in me more than my dad did. Thank you, Coach Strothers. I moved back here after my time in the USMC where I became an Arabic linguist in the Intelligence field, and I refuse to use my accent to be "normal". I always get asked if I'm from "the city" like there is only one. Proper diction never killed anybody. I know more about the actual world than the rest of the backwards county I live in, but goddamm!t if anyone will listen to me. I will be subscribing.
Yes, moved to WV from Philly. There are no black people here in the wilderness, very strange. But, after the civil war people went north or west for opportunities, not to the wild lands.
❤ nyc girl here , Love the idea of West Virginia, hollers and living off the land , medicine from old recipes and all .....
Yes. This part! I'm an Army Brat that grew up in a Brat community in Germany. Back to NC at 15! Talk about culture shock! I'm 50 now and still get astonished at how serious ppl are about their hate. I finally came to this conclusion: if I'm trying to educate my community, and they're all laughing at me, who's the village idiot around here? (Hint: it's me.) Lol
@@djack915you might wanna do all that right there in nyc, hunny.
I follow Trae Crowder on youtube. He is funny! And pretty progressive! I was disappointed when his car was in the shop, because it felt weird that he was talking from some random room somewhere when I had always either seen him on stage or in his car before that. LOL
he is super smart.
I was overjoyed to see my 3 favorite people discussing race in America 💜 Thank you, Karen for your awesome content.
Dude is hilarious! And a great truth teller. I'll be looking out for his content. He proves once again that no one can skewer you with honesty, and be funny as hell about it, better than one of your own.
skew!! - if you really look Trae up, you'll get it
Whenever I run across Trae on UA-cam, I always stay longer than I intended and come away with something I didn’t know,
or even considered.
Racism is in the soil of the United States, racism is by design 😂
For people who don't think racism is baked into the soil I submit racist AI as evidence.
facial recognition AI is a problem
And the medical system. I was a lab tech, military and civilian. Just ... Aargh.

"But don't trust your soul to no backwoods southern lawyer..."
I was born in California, raised in Ohio, raised a family in North Carolina, and now living in Texas. Ohio was more racist than NC. In the south, it's out in the open, and easier to confront. In Ohio....it's subtle, and quiet, but strong, and you can't tell anyone they're racist--because other white people will take their side. There are a lot of areas where there are very few POC, and people don't even realize they're racist. Texas has a lot of racism as well. You can see it boldly when people respond to news stories. "What do you expect from those people?" or "Not surprising in that demographic." "I bet his mama says he was a perfect child." (Responses to a murdered teenager.)
Same in Pennsylvania, especially Northeast Pennsylvania and the Valley & everywhere else. The whole state damnit.
I grew up in Charlotte, NC. Then I lived in Portland, Oregon, then upstate NY. Racism is EVERYWHERE in America.
depends how upstate... you go past glens falls they give the Appalachia mts s run for their money lol
Yooo, NC gang! Yeah when I would visit cali, people would just ask me racist ass questions about us living around black people. And they assume we are all racist cuz our accent so they go mask off.
I think this popped in my feed because I am a big Trey fan. However, I have been listening to Karen on Sirius XM for years! Had not even thought about searching her out here on UA-cam. So a new subscriber here! Yay! On topic for this clip, I often say I was born and raised in America so I have been filled with systemic and often internalized racism my whole life. It isn’t that I do not have broken thoughts, it is how I choose to accept or reject them that determines how racist I am. I try my best to reject them but there is racism baked into our language and culture in some insidious and subtle ways.
Nice!
Exactly. I grew up in St Louis County in the fifties and sixties. Been soaked in it and breathed it all my life. However, I know it is wrong and do my best on a conscious level, but at times something will slip especially when I am not consciously aware. I do my best. I will say I knew it was wrong when I was four and five years old walking a sidewalk with Mom and a black person stepped off the sidewalk and stood at the curb with eyes down on the ground while we passed them. It felt wrong in my bones even at that young age. I always try to be blind to color and see the person in all situations.
I’m pumped to see the collab between Trae and Karen. Great stuff
Great show.
What you all are talking about is why I believe in wokism.
I am a white male. I benefited from white and male privilege. My father was a racist. He said he would disown any of kids if they came home with non white girl friend/boy friend. Was not afraid on the nbomb. I grew up with kids spouting racist crap very often. As an adult my friends often spouted racist crap. I never bought into it. But rarely ever spoke up about it. As i grew older i became aware of just how baked into our cutkure racism is. Thats when i learned about wokism. Waking up to the reality of the dystopia we live in. Sure its better for me personally as a white male but i always believed that if anyone suffers, we all suffer. If we are to be civil society we have to embrace wokism. If you think wokism is a bad thing either you have the wrong definition in mind or your goal is opposite to an equal and just society. At the end of the day everyone should be able to go home happy and healthy. Being aware of how we contribute to the dystopia is the only path forward. And we have to defeat everyone who thinks only some people deserve to go home happy and healthy.
What Joseph said.
I bet your wife's boyfriend is proud of you too for writing this.
@@bw3230 If all you can do is slur the messenger, there's nothing wrong with the message.
@@intercat4907 99.9 percent of the time these people spouting off about being privileged Whites are usually members of a certain tribe that wear tiny hats. I'll let you guess who I'm referring to. Its a shame most people aren't aware that Whites and the chosen are of two different races.
BTW if this guy is being truthful here, what his father said was no different than what men like Muhammad Ali and Malcolm X said for years.
@@bw3230 One of the privileges I have, is that people like you don't dare talk to my face. Women and POC have to deal with you all the time. I don't. This is about White people dealing with racism, so you and I are gonna deal with it. You are gonna crawl back under your rock and quit talking like that in this space for decent women, and I am gonna do my privilege thing and report you.
My grandpa was racist, but my parents weren't. When we would come back from visiting, my dad would give me a lecture wiping out everything they said. Most of the time, I didn't know what he meant.
I was raised in a household where I was taught to respect everyone. Also, I'm Muslim, and people practice true Islam (not the crap that you see online, or in the media), know that everyone is equal in the eyes of God. We are all the same. However, being part European, and the rest is Middle Eastern, I was bullied. I wasn't bullied by my peers, but by adults who were racists. while going to school, and it's the TEACHERS who were making racist comments about my heritage, and calling my Middle Eastern family "uncivilized". This was back in the 80's, btw. Not to mention, the whole problem with color. I had no idea what race I was and I was forced to pick one because that was how it was then.
Im sorry you experienced that, no teacher should ever treat children that way! And I hope that now you are able to embrace all parts of yourself🙏🏼
@@down-to-earth-mystery-school Thank you so much. I really appreciate your kindness.
You just used the no true Scotsman fallacy to pretend Islam has a true form..
Thats stupid, you know some of us read the koran, and we know you are lying.
ALL beliefs corrupt and make YOU complicit
Maybe we'll have innocent Imams raped by young boys and then told to be quiet by the members of that sliver of beliefs
that would be a balance of rapes
Drive carefully
THERE is NO heaven
Beliefs lead to WAR eventually
People that keep slaves are backwards and uncivilized
Thinking of two continents
Still at slavery 10000 years and counting
but yeah racism
Don't bring Islam. It isn't a pretty religion. You all think yours is the "right" religion
For me it is like having a shelf with racist knick knacks. I grew up in Tx and as you can imagine it was bad in it's own ways. I do not remember seeing violence based on it thankfully but it was all there. As a child people would make racist statements like they were universal fact and as time passes the knick knacks on my shelf grew and faded into the background until I left Tx. At no point did I hate anyone who looked like me, what I found though was I had biases and stereotypes held in my mind I either thiught were real or never thiught about but in not doing so they hung around. Now I am happy to say I removed every knick knack that I know to be born from racism. There may still be some hidden among the rest of my shelves but as I become aware that shit gets tossed into the garbage. This stuff is hella insidious and gets taught to children as if it is universal law.
Thanks. We might have gone to school together. My family was from somewhere else and Dad got a great job. Only one friend followed me out of Lubbock, and she wrote me off when she "married a Christian", because I wasn't "good enough". Glad to read your post and know it's not a total black hole.
Love Trae. Such a delight. People that make information entertaining are wonderful.
Right!? Information doesn’t have to suck (all the time).
I love Trae Crowder. He cracks me up!
I'm more scared of Bostonians.
I'm a preschool teacher and for a while I did substitute teaching. At one job I started just as nap time began in the toddler room. And the white kid was next to the black kid, next to the asian kid, next to the arab kid, next to the indian kid. At that age none had yet learned racism the only thing these kids cared about was " is this kid fun to play with". Some of them would be friends for life. Experience of people . Hand to hand living , becoming friends . That's what I've seen that works.
Love this guest. Been following him for a bit, he’s brilliant and seems to have a wonderful heart!
I grew up white in the South, but in a family that built its identity in part on being anti-racist. Like my mother's father was president of a small Southern Baptist college (and a minister of course) given the task of saving the school from closing. He traveled the country getting donors (with my mom, a teenager) and came back victorious then admitted the first two students to integrate the school, a couple of Lumbee Indians (who were Black, but being Indian is how he got them past the trustees) in the 1940s in North Carolina.
This doesn't mean that we didn't have our own reckoning to do with racism and learning to recognize the subtler ways it shows up in us and our environment. We definitely did, but I think having that environment in the family (not just our household, all of us), being around Black, Asian, and Latino people literally from birth for me, and having Black teachers in authority over us was a really privileged upbringing in some ways that really matter. There were other things that were very rough, but not being anti-racist because I was supported in that.
It is *_INCREDIBLE_* how much of white society has no lived experience with non-white; especially Black people. A guy I went to college with didn't know *any* Black people until he got to LSU and he was from Buffalo, NY.
The exact same scenario happens with new military recruits & new lieutenants.
I spent a winter in Drummond, Montana (pop about 450 then). Had a quiet, gentle talk with a guy who had never seen a Black person and wanted to know what they were "like". He was glad to know they were just normal people; he'd suspected he was being lied to.
@@get2dachoppa249 I had another *_former_* white "friend" who was in ROTC while at LSU as well. He went into the army as lieutenant after we graduated. I say former friend because years later; after he'd finished deployment. Dude seemed to be espoused to some pretty racist ideology. Just goes to show that people don't always exhibit their true nature.
@@intercat4907 it is weird because as Black people were are not afforded the opportunity of not knowing white people or the white perspective.
@@Brick_Squared I can't imagine what that would be like. Black Americans are part owners of this country. How can that be invisible? Thanks for good posts.
During the Great Migration, police departments recruited whites from the south to handle “the Negro problem” (that’s what they called it), especially for cities like Los Angeles and Oakland.
Baked in the soil 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Fried deep in the soil with farmers stomping
The dry grass So nothing else grows. Unless they say so.
🤔😂😂😂😂😂😂💙VOTE 2024💙💙💙
BE BLESSED!
Trea is the best man. He and Beau of the 5th Column both help me grasp a better understanding of how fucked we as a society are and how we can find ways to fix what is causing these problems. Now I’ll have to give y’all a listen more now that I’ve seen you on my feed.
Big fan of Trae from Harlem, current in Bama. Hilarious!
Trae Crowder is so funny I follow him on social media.
My BFF from Texarkana always says "if Einstein woulda talked like me, aint nobody would listetened".
I grew up in a very racist town in California.There were four black kids in my first school two were my siblings.They refused to hire blacks in local establishments.They followed us if we dared go into a store.I sat in the last row,very last seat,and my teacher never spoke to me.That was the year I began falling behind.It’s not that I couldn’t do the work,she had no desire to teach me.
It's so sad that people behave this way...especially with children. None of us ask to come here in the skin we're in...and everyone is worthy of respect and dignity. It's not hard.
In the words of Henry Louis Gates (paraphrase) - "America was born in racism; it would have to be torn down and rebuilt anew to be free of racism"
Glad y'all are cross pollunating. Trae is a long time favorite of mine. ❤
Trae Crowder is so funny & he keeps it real. I also listen to him on other podcasts.
Regarding the last line, is that why when people protest racism people think they're protesting America?
Racism lives in Florida at a place called Mar-A-Lago colored in Orange
Trae is a real one!
Love to see Trae on here!!!!
I think Americans judge intelligence more on grammar than on regional pronunciation. "I seen it" is bad in any accent.
W. People do not like to discuss African American History,many are just unaware..
I've often wondered what if certain comedians became public servants in mass. Trae would definitely get my vote.
Great show 😁 side note, i lived in Foster City Ca and it was 1% African American in 2011
My calculus II professor in college had his exact accent, and it was so strange to hear the lecture coming out of his mouth in THAT accent. But, dude was obviously brilliant.
I love Trae Crowder and I'm so glad he led me to you, Karen Hunter. I'm checking out all your stuff, as soon as I finish this video! ❤🐦
Welcome aboard!
Hey, in the 1970's, Lubbock was segregated. (Dems voted in a separate building, too, so they could be "watched". And spat on if Black.) Black kids were bused all over town until Jr High, then segregated. Separate high school. The "integration" numbers looked good statistically, and White girls were "safe". Build a wall.
"It's baked in the soil" and I walk around on it without a care in the world. Understanding the privilege in that statement and knowing, "understanding the best I can the cognitive load of black folks walking on the same soil," is where my work towards "anti-racist" begins. It's a process, and I will leave the world better than I found myself, by putting this process into action. Thank you for sharing
thank you for expressing this.
I never thought about it but southern lawyers would be the best lawyers to have cause they really know their stuff.
👏👏👏👏👏 coming from the south...alot of ppl sound exactly like this
Some white people say bigoted and racist things then claim they are not racist and therefore decide that is it they, the white people who say racist things, are the ones who have the right to judge what what is and isn’t racism. Shouldn’t black and brown people be the ones to judge whether something is racist or not? Should a person who says racist things get a vote on the underlying question?
Racism 101! If u have to defend it-it’s Racist…😃
I was half raised in the south, and then my daddy got a job in St Louis. And I never heard the n word before we moved to St L. Raised their to grown up and had to leave because the racism was so way off the charts over even Alabama. And I saw my family really come out in Missouri. So I went back south because I just couldn't tolerate the lack of manners. Karen, I just found your show tonight, and I'm subscribing. You all are good.
welcome. and thank you for your beautiful commentary.
My family is mostly Irish, my grandmother was "black Irish" because of hair color. I remember when the bigots used ax handles and attack dogs against the freedom marchers and I cried when MLK Junior was assassinated. I once asked my mother what the words used by my Archie Bunker like uncle used, and was told in absolutely uncertain terms that I was not to repeat the words that my Uncle and aunt used. In my career I have often worked in places where I am the most melanin deficient, English speaking person within 100 KM. I know that human beings are basically the same everywhere. The continuation of Racism in the US and other places [including Africa in Rwanda, the Maghreb etc.] is one of humanity's greatest and most intractable flaws. Americans need to stand together and just say NO! to racism, slavery, Fascism and anti-democratic tendencies.
…But Amerikkka was stolen on those same principles…😃
Nice show, glad u know Trae, I've long considered him family and invited to the barbecue 👍🏽
Always enjoy you, Trae, wherever or whenever
I'm a black gay man who's educated. Fortunately i've never had anything racist done to me. BUT, i know it exists and is a huge problem. So just because you might not see racism in your community doesn't mean it does not exist.
Where in America did those two factors not attract attention? Just curious
Prejudice is baked into any multicultural society. An unfortunate reality, especially in 2023
I think every white person should read Isabel Wilkerson’s ‘Caste’ because for me, an old white guy who was transplanted to the Deep South at 9 years old, it filled in the missing piece to understand racism.
To be frank, I'm a little offended Karen didn't believe Trae's accent because he is educated. I also grew up in rural east TN, have a very similar accent to Trae, and also have a degree in PoliSci. I get it... but don't assume you know someone just because of how they speak. Still love this segment though.
Yeah it’s kinda offensive … I’m a 36 year old black woman from TN and I can’t stand people questioning my intelligence based on speech or location of birth.
I always learn something from you guys.
Generation X was least racists. We had white and black teachers, spanish and black students in my school. It was a bit more diverse in our genX.
yup.
Kinda like saying I’m a little gay…😃
good one...@@dennisclarrett4677
So nice to have this clip bubble up on my youtube push. I've subscribed - as this seems like an interesting and enlightened channel... Also, Tennessee Tech might be a cow college for many of us east-coast elites... but both my folks got degrees there and did ok. Apparently, so has Trae. Most likely, I would not have much or have had the opportunities I've had were it not for my parents getting Tech degrees (both the first in their families to get degrees.)
Omg! I loooooove Trae crowder❤❤😂
I love that yall are doing this. Its so needed. Thank you for this discussion. ❤
I've been a fan of Liberal Redneck for a long time now. Glad you've found him.
Awesome! Trae brought me here. Glad to find you. ❤
Love Trae and Crew. Tremendously likeable and clever crew stuck in centrist liberal world. I see folks below (or above) asking how do you solve racism. Aside from deeper conversation about "social constructs" that have no basis in science or even cultural studies, the answer to the question is right in front of our eyes ... right here. Hanging loose and mixing it up. Trae gave literal example with tale of neighboring county that had little Black presence ... perspectives so different then even the modest Black inclusion in town, time and county.
Unfortunately, this does nothing to solve deeply systemic racism. The country is built on it.
The point made about white liberals minimizing racism due to lack of exposure is spot on. My mother absolutely is shocked when I talk about racism. She thinks it isn't that prevalent bc she hasn't seen it in person in years. But she lived in a heavily white area so she basically only saw brown people at the grocery store. She's not malicious, she just doesn't see it. I'm in health care, so most of my friends and colleagues hail from every continent. They've been a part of my life 36-72 hours a week for the past twelve years. This much exposure gives me a better idea of the large and small ways they're impacted. It also gives me a better idea of how white people are impacted - without even realizing it. Thanks for the great conversation. Just stumbled onto your channel, liked and subscribed!
I’m so pleased that I stumbled on the Karen Hunter Show.
This is beautiful these are the kind of dialogues that we need to have and that I've been having with my three goddaughters and my best friend who is white and indigenous but my three goddaughters are going to be a force to be reckoned with when they get older they are already debating in high school about racism my oldest goddaughter band Thanksgiving in their household and showed her grandparents that this is why she would not be participating in it and it's because of bridges that are built like this that gives us hope that this world can become a better place and racism can be abolished thank you Karen Hunter We love and appreciate your work!❤️🔥
Thank you Karen Hunter! I have often wanted to see you speak with one of my other UA-cam favorites.Trae plays against the image Southerner = dumb, racist, conservative
Wow…I went to school with 2 girls in GA that pronounced their names as K-ren instead of Karen
This Man is Super Funny! I absolutely luv his Comedy!
Rich people just making sure the poor be fighting each other for the scrapes.
Violence is never funny.
Not even just a lil slapstick as a treat?
Hey, you lovely people, Trae, is a special human to be. My sister and mother raised a self effacing young man in that, the value of truth grows, as you recognize it. My father, was a big time attorney, and adored black culture/jazz, and a rising part of amerigo called multifaith housing for people, who couldn’t get it.
Meanwhile, a sharp practice of puns, and shaggy dog stories, taught us to chide.
Overeducated and surrounded by famous lawyers, increase vocabulary, yet removes you from people, who just don’t use those words.
The phrase” anti-dis-establishment-tarianism, puts it into frame. Uni-tarians, can be identified. And yet, we are trying to break down the historical mess. Mostly that we have been playing for the wrong team.
Honestly, I took the musical cue, and formed a reggae stage band, and within, 4 years, had Bob Marley’s CEO in my mama’s house in Boston, for a niteclub show.
What of the funniest social conscious comics out here👊🏽
Two of my favorite people!
I'm from lots of places, my family is from The South. I live in Boston, yeah. THAT is Boston.
Love the new music

I love it too! But that "I run my finger through her hair, and she smiles and says she loves me..." will forever play in my head!

Pre-2010 was peak time for anti-bullying, but then it became “PC” to be tolerant of others. 🤦🏻♀️
“Wht Fear “……the world is changing WE must work together 😊 all hands on deck
That said, I enjoyed the show.
I'm white and whenever another white person brings up the possibility of "us" becoming the minority I always say well if minorities are treated equally or even better in some cases as you say they why are you worried about becoming the minority? It's great to hear the stammering
great response!
HATRED IS FOR THE WEAK AND PATHETIC NOT THE STRONG AND BRAVE!!!
The beginning introduction segment was hilarious😂 Trae like already preparing for damage control at the cut off, "just so ya know, I didn't say it, it's just how it cutoff, I swear"😳
We got You, Fam, you still invited to The Cookout, lol.
Seriously though, this was a great episode; y'all have a new subscriber now.
3:58 Trae’s accent.😂. I heard white men (white pronounced whyaaat) say @ CP&L (Carolina Power & Light..yes, I’m that old) DECLARE they suffered discrimination…& were denied promotions as a result of their accent. I was 22ish & entertained & irritated by the accounts simultaneously. Fast forward to ages 27-30ish, I worked w/ a white dude who had transferred from White Plains to Raleigh. Listening to his frustration with the “pace” & accents (Black women = oracles…everyone feels comfortable “sharing”/“dumping” their feelings on us or around us is my personal experience the few times not in…a more comfortable mode/position on the org charts..,I digressed 2 much). White Plains co-work up held restricting promotions of whyaaaat men w/ thick southern accents. He said such promotions would make IBM look & sound bad.
Just wanted 2 share this memory l. I’m 56 years young now.😊
My black friend and I (a white guy) both only use racial slurs on eachother sparingly. There is nothing but love between us and it is never about hate and only about a good ribbing for a laugh. All I can say is gawd help anyone else that uses that word towards hime or his family in my presence. The very same is true for my friends that are Arab. They are family to me and I have zero tolerance for that "F"ed up hate BS simply because of melanin and an accent. Remember that sitting at home in 24 is a vote for republicans. Vote for every democrate from the top of the ticket to the bottom and especially school boards. The consequences are simply to horrific for our country and especially our fellow citizens of color and woman to comprehend otherwise!
Democrats are MORE RACIST THAN REPUBLICANS! Republicans are more honest about it…😃
Speaking as a clueless white guy, I don’t know if it’s too useful for me to chime in with my two cents about racism to people who have suffered racism.
Someone always seems to want to turn things into a debate about what racism is or argue about who is responsible.
I’m more interested in how I as an individual and we as a society can move the dial toward better outcomes.
not so clueless at all.
You cannot fight what you fail to acknowledge…😃
Love Trae
My father's family is from Alabama. There is no "mixing". There are white towns and black towns, except for the big cities. My great uncle had a store in a predominantly white town, and the locals had him put in a mental institution, where he was murdered shortly after. Racism is DEEP in Alabama.
That global majority t-shirt is fire.
Yeah, why are people trying to pretend it doesn’t exist.
I know racism is real. I just don't understand what triggers someone's mind to say disgusting and harmful words.
I curse with the f* word mostly, words that mean nothing. I'm a 63 white guy from Philly. My family was lower middle class. Six kids on a cop's salary. Neither of my parents used racist words, not once. The typical Irish Catholic family, but not religious. Over the years, I would say we had least 80 extended family members over the years. In my presence, not one used a racist curse. We got together a lot, weddings, funerals, communion and graduation parties. From my generation on, most of us went to Catholic school, i guess that helped.
Not one n word.
Glad you had TC on your show … would have never found you without my boy ! He’s so good 😊
he really is! Welcome!
