I'm still stuck on the fact that we are hated because of our skin color not content of our character (tf) ..... so sad he say if he had one wish at 8 years old it would be to become white because being black was too hard 🥾 DAMN... Think I got a tear in my eye😢 we been through so much as a people and culture.
I think most black americans especially southerners ashame of who they are and bein called Africans. They quick to tell u how they're mixed w/ naps i love it when white pple put them in check.
We ain’t hated because of our skin color. Shit goes deep. We’re envied because of who, and more importantly WHAT we are. That originating envy gets transferred to anger, jealousy, & hatred because of their lacking. It’s always Love/Hate relationship with us. Just like the Truth...love it or hate it.
I'm from Gary, Indiana and he is speaking the absolute truth. I know every area and school he is referring to in this interview. I went to Roosevelt High School, which is the same school his sister attended.
Bro for a second I thought they meant HIS parents, and I was like damn his mom was really on that anti black shit THIS hard 😂😂. That last video made me have to wonder
I'm glad these racists are alive to see the world changing and different people integrating, I know it kills them to see minorities succeed and live freely
@@theboogieman401 Don't know if you're directing that at Aamir but he's quoting from that actual episode. I believe Cole said that line about porcupines.
Shout to you Ernest. When I was 10years I was admiring you as [THE TEENAGER] to follow. As I got old I have forgotten about you. Glad to see you. Thanks for telling your story. We can easily what it was like. Thank you too Vlad. 👊🏾✌🏾👍🏾
It's so good that Vlad is getting these stories from these individuals before they are dead and gone. Many Conservatives and Republicans act like Racism was soooooooooo long ago. It's good that Vlad is showing that it was within THIS LIFETIME. 💯💯💯💯 Good Work, Vlad. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
The most sad thing to me is Lil Wayne says he doesn't know about racism. I was born in the Seventies and didn't deal with half the things my parents and grandparents went through, but know it exists. I am not putting everyone in one classification, but know it exists from both sides.
Lil wayne is a drug addict that convinced an entire generation of black boys that being a fake blood and a dope fein is cool. He lies in 90% of his lyrics. Don’t take anything that clown says to heart.
@@lowkeylowkey2186 that's actually a big misconception...really big. Some Mexicans identify themselves damn near more as spaniard then Mexican but even with that being said they can be traced to but are not the original native Indians. The American narrative says that blacks came on ships(which is partially true) but u gotta ask urself why would u ship slaves all the way across the seas where they get diseases n can die ect....when it makes way more sense to get them from where u already are. There is alot of info on this too
I'm black ...and ill say this....alot of blacks have bullied races to the point where they have come togeatjer against us......because they know man with us well just beat yo ass no matter what race u are
Ima tell you, this may be the BEST Vlad series of interviews. Ernest Thomas interviews have been UNBELIEVABLE. . That type of racism was b4 my time. To pray to God to make me white, so I can live a better life. WOW. But even today if there's a second life. I would comeback as a white male, to experience that privilege.
@@JunniorRooksthe doobie brothers episodes was classic, my favorite episode was when they gave him a surprise birthday party and yelled surprise and he screamed and slammed the front door then came back in all cool like he wasn't scared 🤣
Yep. I’m from Gary too. I graduated from Lew Wallace. When I was in high school the entire city was Black. By that time Emerson was the performing arts school.
He from my hometown.. I went to Lew Wallace ... his momma lived right around the corner from us.. I think they stay on Lincoln..we stay on Buchanan st. ..Gary, Indiana... G.I. And he went the I-State... with my mother in law...
Gm edagdwg thanks for sharing this story of what happens when you have to go to that school because you are a real blàck person you only God can give you what you need to live in this world linda j.🙏🙏🙏🙏☮️☮️☮️☮️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 changes everything and people
Ernest played with Sidney Poitier and Bill Cosby in" A Piece of the action".. So you know the Cosby questions are coming... And also Rerun(RIP) Was a dancer with Adolpho Quinones better known as Ozone..from Breakin'..Breakin'2 .. Its Funny because another connection.... Martin Lawrence was on What's happening now... Martin had Ernest on his show along with Rerun So when Kid mentions in the first House Party..."They went to the Rerun dance school " somethin to that effect Martin was in that.... Six degrees of separation is a real thang
@@MoeJoe215 In his bio it states that he went to Emerson High School in Gary, Indiana. That school also lists him as an alumni...so are you right or is the person who went there and the actual school itself right?

Best show that cracks me up. The teacher was a damn fool. lol
Lol I did😂😂
I can't get enough of listening to his stories
Agreed 💯
Being 59 year old Black man and also being Gary Indiana I can sadly identify with Mr. Thomas .... great interview !

I don't give a fuck how hard it is I'm proud to b black I'm glad I wasn't born white no offense 🤣🤣
I think most black americans especially southerners ashame of who they are and bein called Africans. They quick to tell u how they're mixed w/ naps i love it when white pple put them in check.
I know I have a few in mine!
Black people need to stop sending their kids to these majority white schools . Racist experiences at a young age scar people for a long time

@@aaroniic i hear u but Mr. Omar is solidified too lbvs
Good to see a respectable black man on here being asked substantial questions.
Vlad needs to do more of these type interview not just Drug Dealers & Rappers...
“What’s Happening,” Rog ?!? 😂
"Patience damn it ,patience!!!" I can see Dave Chappelle dressed as I white teacher saying that in a sketch
Hell yea as Chuck Taylor the reporter
😂😂😂😂

Dude "PRAYED" Lord make me white? The saddest shxt I heard today.

As a shorty i knew this Brother had something to say well said my brother true. Legend in the game

Is nice that these guys are being interviewed. I just wish somebody else was doing it. And not a culture vulture
This guy played Great in All His Movies
The what’s happenin legend himself
Man I was really expecting him to yell " TRAGIC! " After he said something tragic happened to his teacher.
This guy was and still is an all around good guy
He sounded like Dave Chappelle
...patience damn patience
When he said the word tragic I smiled a little. 😂
I loved the What's happening and What's happening now tv shows, too!
GOD FIRST ALWAYS
People say that racism was a long time ago. He's older than me but I still remember those days. I'll never forget.
Wow this dude has been thru a lot!…Dman!
Good to see Raj is doing well still 💯
I'm so thankful to the "Most High" I never had the train of thought of not wanting to be Black, I can't even imagine being anything else...
The most sad thing to me is Lil Wayne says he doesn't know about racism. I was born in the Seventies and didn't deal with half the things my parents and grandparents went through, but know it exists. I am not putting everyone in one classification, but know it exists from both sides.

“Tragic” 😂😂
Institutionalized psychological abuse. Shit, we need reparations just for THAT!!
I can't watch this ppl are discusting my heart broke for him!!!!
This guy is so damn likable
Clarendon Arkansas still hasn’t changed much since then smh
a sign sayign go back to Europe would actually be more accurate considering People of color have always been here
Factz
Ironically, a sign telling white people to go back to Africa would be more precise.

From 2:45 to the 3:00 min mark had me crying man. I re-played that part so many times. LOL
When he said the word TRAGIC in this Interview I just had to laugh
“If you see me out there fighting don’t take it personal” reminds me of jake Paul and Nate Robinson lol
4:20 "Lord, make me white."
Damn!
Man that prayer at 4:23 is sad but also mad funny 🤣
My uncle graduated from Emerson in the 70's
I graduated from Emerson vpa c/o'94
Glad : “When they called you those names...did you cry?”
MR.OMAR LOOK LIKE DAVE CHAPPELLE LMAO 🗣TRAGIC!!! TRAGIC TRAGIC !!!!! 😂

Who else thought of Dave Chapelle when he did that racist professor impersonation 😂
Oh I would've said cut me a check for 20 million and once the check has cleared, I'll head back to Africa
Cool video
If you never seen “Whats Happening” I highly recommend if you love Sitcoms
Damn I wish he would have said Tragic like he does on everybody hates Chris 😂🤦🏾♂️
OMG! Hahaha!
That’s the (damn....what do I say-what do I say...? Ok I got it...)
“Yep-yeah...sad time...”
Tragic ! Tragic !
I'm a big fan 😂 I wish I could meet him Jimmie. Walker Haywood Nelson I saw him years ago here in Chicago
Life in America!!!
Ok...thank u
He sounded like that racist black dude from the Dave Chappelle show when he explained about the Nazi dude 😂🤣
“Now which Doobie you be ?” Lol
That's was one of the best episodes on What's Happenin' when The Doobie Brothers performed on there.
@@JunniorRooksthe doobie brothers episodes was classic, my favorite episode was when they gave him a surprise birthday party and yelled surprise and he screamed and slammed the front door then came back in all cool like he wasn't scared 🤣
I smh when I hear about stories like that. Most of those same ppl holding up those signs would swear up& down that they're"God fearing".
*guest says something interesting and informative that could be delved into"
VLAD-"okay... goes on the the next bullet point on his notepad"
Links to previous and next video in bio are clutch
Love Ernest 👍🏾😘patience 🤣
2:27 Nah Vlad imagine people still feel that way in schools hospitals police force. They just censor themselves. Until......
I really love this man
Idk why vladamir acting surprised, he was the one holding the 'Go Back to Africa' sign
Funny how the entire Gary was black when I grew up there...including Emerson 😂
Yep. I’m from Gary too. I graduated from Lew Wallace. When I was in high school the entire city was Black. By that time Emerson was the performing arts school.
@@eyeknowzz I graduated from Lew Wallace too. 🐝 🐝
@2:51 Is he doing a Dave Chapelle impression here?
I noticed that he has a Kappa Alpha Psi coat on. Shoutout to the Nupes from an Iota Man

He was very good in X.
I Diggs that jacket my brother👌🏾♦️...

He didn't go to Emerson. He went to Wirt High School in Miller
He literally said in this video that he went to Emerson.
How are you going to tell this man what High School HE WENT to?
