In your own life, do you see the racial tensions in America being better or worse than the media portrays?
I’m not from a liberal shithole so it’s far better than the media portrays.
Worse.
I see no issues. I'm around half and half of folks everyday. We don't have problems.
My wife is black and her entire family was really accepting of me at the peak of trump. On the streets though - it's the kids. YOUNG black people absolutely hate white people; because they've been taught to. Not by their parents, not by anecdotal experience, but because the media has told them to over and over for the majority of their lives that they are separate. They encourage segregation rebranded as safe spaces. They encourage racism rebranded as social justice. It's a manufactured divide for the sole purpose of votes. We are to the government what South Africa is to bill gates. Test subjects.
@@redriver6541my experience as well....I will qualify it slightly.....I live rural.....black, white, Asian, Hispanic....we look out for each other...
As a southern black man,we value the time and camaraderie at our barbershops. The fact that you took time to go and not only experience the culture but show how intelligent and deep the conversation inside can be is bold and incredible. God bless you Team Crowder.
I am an indigenous canadian, and we have alot of community on the reserve, but step off the reserve and into the city and it just disappears. People don't even talk to each other when waiting for a bus or in break rooms at work they just stare at their phone. But on the reserves we have pow wows and potlatch's and block parties and everyone on the reserve is like one big family. One thing I would LOVE to experience is a black cookout, I seen a couple vids of white guys being invited to a black cookout and the food looked amazing and the games and talk man it all just looked like such a great time.
As a trans-black man, I agree.

@@_-0_x_-_p_0-_ i dunno, i don't even know when we went from being called native, to first nations to indigenous.
@@HaggisMuncher-69-420I 100% support you if youre being truthful. I want ppl to do whatever they want to be happy. Why do I give af what ppl do. If it helps great, if a person regrets it, that's unfortunate. There are no guarantees in life. We just try to do what's right. The main point is .. we need to get a long no matter what we think. Just a baseline of respect goes a long way. The simplest of humanity. Treat others ... golden rule. Not that hard. But for too many it is. Mind boggling. The internet is a cancer
For the record, I am a black man. This conversation was excellent, genuine, and enlightening. God bless everyone that was involved!
Never forget what this guy did to that black man during blm
@@mattk8810he was a bit of a jerk but he made a point. The ‘black man’ was disregarding someone’s property to spread his message of hate so fck blm, it’s a money grabbing Marxist ran grift.
Not a single fckn penny of the money given to that organization went to help the black community. Instead those assholes bought themselves million$ mansions. They should be in prison for that.
‘Change My Mind’! 😏

As a barber, I LOVED this segment. Everyone was calm, respectful, and had the conversations we should be having right now.
@@30steveg You sound like a Canel Pig.

As a Latino kid, I grew up in a salad bowl of white, Black, Mexican, Asian and disabled kids. We all played together, hung out together and ate at each others homes. It was a glorious time of enjoying our differences, yet still being unified. As we got older, we had barbershop-type conversations that were refreshing, much like this video.
"And disabled kids" 💀☠
@@malikj5336 shit no one gets left out. Someone has to protect them why not us?
The point people our age obviously were moving forward, not labeling and working our differences out.
I didn't know disabled was a race.
@@bigmojo704 - He didn't say that. YOU said that.
I go to a black and latino barbershop here in Florida. They have about 15 barbers working at all times. Biden came on the TV and one of the barbers said "F*** Biden, we need trump back".
Everyone in the shop agreed.
Same with the Dominican barber shop I go too
Same with the Redneck Barbershops
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
That is the stuff the polls will not show, they are not taken in places like that. EVERYONE i have spoken to this year says the same thing.
Biden won because of people like me that would've voted Trump if they just aren't tired of the 2 party system. So I do have a part in making Biden president.
Biden is the most racist public figured I've seen and he isn't called on it. Well maybe if you don't get offered vice president position.
You should hang out with them more often. The amount of open conversation was wonderful. This needs to happen nation wide.
needs a Crowder barber shop edition.
That was a good video but he still needs to focus on what’s really going on, have you seen the latest viral incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School? That kind of thing is happening daily, and needs to be addressed
You know he doesn’t hang with black people
@@willw3736 What incident was that? That school sounds familiar btw, that was where the Nick Cruz shooting took place I believe.
Honestly I'm very surprised that Crowder is still active and well. Hope he's doing better (and become a better person) after all the controversies.
The only place where you'll find "stereotypical" black and white racism is on college campuses. Oh, the irony.
na. if you think real racism doens't exist, you're actually insane. it may NOT be as bad as the media says it is, but it is still bad.
*WRONG.* It is rampant on television in both entertainment and the fake news, but 99% of it targets white people, *and so does our government.*
They present a fake version of history that is reliant on people lacking a basic 8th grade education in American and world history, and the intellectually laziness of all people regardless of where they stand on societal concerns.
I am a white, heterosexual, middle aged man that is consistently blamed for people's troubles by the media that is patently a lie and racist, and I am also disabled, impoverished and a victim of Hollywood sex trafficking for over 20 years that has continued to this day.
*That is a long, dark and twisted story while having a brother that is incredibly powerful, respected and wealthy in entertainment where every major name hires his company, but I kept it to myself for over 20 years and see no benefit by talking about it at great length.*
I don't watch television and everyone on it can eat shit and die.
The Bl people i work with have families and are conservative. We share basically all same values other than these dudes care more about money than i do
The only place where you will find a closeted, sack tapping wife beater who claims to be a straight Christian. Oh, LWC
@@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figurelol....yep....and they give a damn about matching clothing.....hanging out with a couple of guys I play rec bball with.... they're in their crisp matching outfits and me in my blue jeans and t shirt lol ...
And THIS is how to communicate. Great examples of differing opinions being voiced. Trying to not talk over each other, no raising of voices, just going through different topics with respect for one another. This should be more common among all people. Great job everyone! Respect.
This is how to communicate? I assume you never graduated college lmao
I’ve worked in NYC construction trades for 30 years. Steven, you should film a documentary on a few big construction sites and it will show how wrong the elites are. We get along, learn about our different cultures, become friends to the point where we can respectfully laugh at ourselves, all the while , working together to get some of the biggest buildings in the world completed.
As a fellow construction worker, I agree
Same here. It's really amazing what us tradesmen get to experience. It's not a job but an adventure ✨️
Here, here. I can second that. 👍
Our bricklayer foreman in NYC, used to put the redneck, the black and the Asian bricklayers next to each other on the scaffold every day. It was like having Bill Burr, Patrice O’Neil and Jackie Chan live everyday
Yup i try and tell kids about how all are various colors and cultures would jest with one another all day on the job! we all got along, had beers together after work, and enjoyed each others parties being friends. This was in NY! I tell the kids Media LIES! and one of the worst hateful racist liars was Obama! The kids find it hard to believe but im PROOF!
This ABSOLUTELY needs to be a regular segment. There’s so much excellent exchange going on and truth being expressed.
This needs to be a regular segment.
yup
Eh, it's just him doing highlights of his talking points, without a binder.
@@81wildboreand yet you watched it and commented here so you got something out of it too didn’t you?
Or you just on here to complain? I can never really tell.
@@tnwhitley i watched about a third. But no, I didn't get anything out of it. Since it was all old material.
I actually went to the comments looking for others who also realized that. Sadly didn't see any.
As a man in my sixties, it's very refreshing to see men taking on meaningful conversation about very sensitive subjects. These men just demonstrated what it will take to bring the racial divide back to acceptable levels. Nobody yelling or getting upset, nobody interrupting the other person, everyone showing respect for each other's point of view and finding common ground. While the mainstream media is intent on damaging our relations, it's going to take mature conversation like this to show the division isn't as big as people are told and the color of your skin has nothing to do with people getting along. It's all about character and these men just showed it. God bless these men; America needs more of them.
Yes. Refreshing. mid 40s here but so hungry for free meaningful conversation that bridges gaps rather than divides.
Yessr. Oligarchs are only trying to divide us!
When the KayKayKay and the B|ackPnthers teamed up to shut down the Las Vegas strip for their workman comp pay,

_Because they can't have that!_
They can't have people realizing that they have more in common than different.
Why dont white people ever have the conversation about Peyton Gendron? Its always about black people
I would love to see white people publicly condemn that behavior
But guys like steven crowder, ben shapiro… they never do
Who?@@fellurs
@@fellurs what is it that you would say about Peyton in a conversation like this? Make the connection for us, don't just throw out the question
This is the real world that we are living in!!! The media would never promote this because it shows how much love and respect we have for each other!! Great segment!
too bloody rite these media people r nothing but trouble makers 🤦🏽♂🙄
You LITERALLY should make this a monthly event. I enjoyed the shit out of this!!!
yeah this would make a good series or if these barbers started their own show
I miss these kinds of discussions!!!!
Yes Please!
Imagine going into the barber shop for a haircut monthly or even weekly? You would love it. I'm a barber myself and have worked in barber shops all of my life and its the best place ever to share opinions and debate on things.
Yep we must endlessly grovel to this demographic of people who overwhelmingly hate us and we must never do anything in our own interest or have any opinions that haven't been oked by them
I went to a black barbershop in the city once while traveling for work. It took him over an hour to cut my hair but it was the best haircut I've ever had in my life. Not a hair out of place.
Did you get a sack tap?
@@timfrye3586 A what? Haha
@@Anony___mous Sack Tappnig is the name for the practice of sneaking up behind somebody and punching their balls.
Steve is infamous for the practice and makes his employees submit to this abuse through the use of NDAs they must sign or be fired.
Honestly i've come to the conclusion white barbershops think of a haircut as just making your hair shorter black barbershops it is more of an art.
If it took an hour to cut my hair I'd never go back.
Barber trimming Steven's beard with a straight razor while Steven is talking. That's skill.
That's Skill, Talent, and love of Craft. Great Job Good Sir. 👊👊👊
Was thinking the same 😂
Haha I’m a barber and let me tell you, I had to learn real quick to keep that straight razor steady when people move around, sneeze, or whatever 😂😂
Steve's beard was already trimmed in his divorce.
Now, he's footloose and OUT of the Closet, baby!!
@@timfrye3586I bet a Reddit sub is missing your moderation....
I'm white and honestly I've hidden the fact that I've lost jobs before until I could get a new one because of how shameful it feels to know my wife and kids can't rely on me during that period of time.
I feel that, I don't even have a wife and kids, but the thought of telling my father I got laid off and I couldn't rely on myself was soul crushing. I felt like a failure and every day was miserable as I got interview after interview with no results. I finally reached out and had a good emotional session and he helped me get a new job and I'm back on my feet.
But you're right, some people don't understand that kind of shame that you can feel, it can be paralyzing
@@Mr_NightOwl mine is my mother. Poor Lady thinks the world of me and wants me to go back to finish my college degree but I can't afford it. She has such a high estimation of me and i hate not meeting it.
I’m proud of u for being in the fight- they r cutting my hrs
I'm a 61 year old white guy that really enjoyed this and the camaraderie. I've attended "black" churches and "black" barbershop in the past, and I've always been welcomed and treated like "family". I believe most of us, regardless of "race" want that sense of family or community. It feels good if that makes sense
I'm a 35 year old black Creole, and when I saw your comment my first thought was... "I don't remember commenting on this video" 😂
Totally agree....
Agreed, well said sir
@@BlackMoridinlmaoo 😂😂
You visited businesses who were nice to you because they want your money.
That one barber hit the nail on the head… “WHEN DID THE WORLD BECOME SO DAMN SENSITIVE?!” It’s so true. Words are hurting these people more than real actions and it’s crazy.
when the world got fed up of amerikans version of help perhaps?
@@mrhead8175Americans are the reason you are crybaby’s? Says more about you doesn’t it
It hasn't gotten this sensitive. How often do you see an ACTUAL person like this, outside of a computer monitor or a television? I live and work in Silicon Valley, I've never run into anybody like this and we're ground zero for all this nonsense.
What i've found is that people who say things such as 'people are too sensitive"are the very same people who end-up getting offended. In other words, being overly-sensitive only goes one way, and it's when they want to say whatever they want but then don't like it when someone else says something which they don't like.
I bet there will be a character in GTA 6 saying these words soon enough.
This Black & White on the Gray Issues project is phenomenal! Keep doing it! This is the content America desperately needs! All Americans should be watching this!
While I agree it was a nice sentiment, I think he still needs to shed light on what’s really going on, such as the latest incident at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, did you see the viral video? This kind of thing is happening daily, and needs to stop
@@willw3736I haven’t seen it so I don’t know what you are referring to. I’m going to try to find it. Hopefully i can, but if i can’t, maybe you can fill me in.
@@willw3736 Is that the one where the kid had his skull fractured?
the people causing the problems will never. it destroys their whole persona and leaves them bland people with nothing good to offer. most wokies opinions arent even their own its what they are told. cookie cutter conformists
@@willw3736 Liberal brainwashing in schools and the media is responsible for the black and white violence in schools and society. Democrats believe their power is based on maintaining division among the races.
Speaking to each other in a respectful manner in a setting like this just proves what most of us know. All of us have a struggle.
💯.
As a black woman who graduated proudly at LSU, I never felt like I didn’t belong or didn’t have support. My first semester there was tough, new waters, big school, but I worked my butt off to help myself excell and get through my undergrad years. Not because the professors wouldn't, they were always there for conversations, but at the end of the day, it was me I had to rely on. And it will always be me I have to rely on to pull me through in life! Caring supportive words only go so far without you yourself doing the hard work! I dont need anyone to look like me or hold my hand and coochie cooe me like some baby. I'm strong minded and strong-willed just fine all on my own.
Nowadays if you’re black you automatically pass so they can fill the quota. At least you did it the right way!
Geaux Tigers!
Congratulations. I hear ya. The government is just causing all this tension to keep us divided so they have the excuse to step in and gain more control.
when that dude was talkin about LSU and the HBCU and how him and his daughter 'felt' different, I wish Crowder would've asked him if any of that might have been internalized and that definitely would get passed from parent to child; i'm sure some of it might have been real, but it's easily for us to convince ourselves of our own bias in those situations; you don't even have to been in a fish out of water in a racial situation you need to be confident in yourself before others are going to see you
👏👏👏👍
I was homeschooled by 2 marines one black and one white both grounded in Christ. I was maybe 16 before I understood that people could be racist. I love this concept Steven is putting forward. I'm excited to see what happens next.
Was sack tapping and beating pregnant women part of your education?
Christ was also the key there too. Good for you!!
@@LifeClipsPodcast What does Christ think about wife beating sack tappers?
That's nice for you. I was about 7 or 8 before the kids at my school tried to get me to say the N-word to adults without telling me what it means as a prank.
Praise Jesus bro I'm like your parents right now
I've never experienced racism in my life of nearly 50 years. Sure, we've jested and poked fun at one another's immutable characteristics, but it never came from a bad place. It was mutually degrading, and we all laughed and carried on with life. We all just assumed that "racism" disappeared and was a thing of the pre-1960s.
I have. I grew up in a really backward backwater. The town was still segregated until about 10 years ago. Nothing forced them to segregate everyone just chose not to live together.
That said, I moved to a large city for college and yeh there was little to no racism.
Have you ever experienced your employer grabbing your balls or sticking his junk in your face?
If not, you have never worked for Sack Tap Stevie
its def out there but not nearly as wide spread as the left wants us to think
@@thenightingale7405I also grew up in a small, country and rural place an hour outside of Jacksonville. Our high school literally had what was known as the redneck wall where most of the good Ole boys lraned against and hung out in between everything. But the biggest joke we had about the redneck wall was the fact that we had country bumpkins, black americans, Indians and Spanish in full decked out camo hanging out. We were doing great up until the end of the 90s, most of our generation was using racial slurs to literally just troll, that's literally it 😂. We have some real.gebuine racists there, but we all hate them and they are tiny.
Gen-X grew up before they started wanting to really push identity politics.
As a Louisiana native, I greatly appreciated this video. We need more media like this in lieu of what the leftist media is pushing.
I’d like to see this become a recurring segment. This specific barber shop. Everyone genuinely listened to each other and added to the conversation.
A valid alternative to "King's James" The Shop.
there's cameras everywhere. it is not realistic portrayal.
@@UA-camrr285oh no, cameras automatically mean fake conversations

I love how hard you're working to repair the racial division caused by Obama & other democrats in recent years. You're doing important things, Steven!
What world are you living in to blame racial division on democrats lollll
@judeknight913 Hello racist. Groups aren't monoliths.
A racial division is normal. We are completely different people.
Do you love how Steve beats pregnant women and sexually assaults his male employees?
My toddler came out as a black trans woman. I will be supportive.
This a breath of fresh air! No virtue signalling. It’s just open and honest talk. No hyperbole, no feelings, just talk. Well done guys!!!!!
So throwing white women under the bus every 10 min it’s an honest talk for you ? Hahaha Steven didn’t bring up any issues of the black community at all, but constantly talk sh*t about whites.

Open and honest conversation is what this world needs!
I grew up as a white guy in the hood. I’m 39 and I haven’t been in a “white” barbershop since I was like 14. It really is a great experience to go to a black barbershop and have conversations and community. My son is 7 and he’s been going too. You really start to realize how much everyone has in common
I'm a Black guy, and I can completely relate. That's one of the reasons I take my son to our local Klan rallies. Great conversations and community. 🤣🤣🤣
same exact here. i don't understand why a white guy going to a black-owned barbershop is special at all.
@@Remember-DeathShit I thought those were online nowadays!
@@AvesZephyros They are online too, but I still prefer the "offline" rallies... there's just something pleasurable about being able to feel the actual heat from a burning cross that can only be experienced in real life. Plus, my son likes to roast marshmallows. 🤣
@@Remember-Deathlol. There are no clan rallies
I took my Dad on a southern road trip back in 2019. Our first stop was Tennessee (we are from Canada) we went to this amazing breakfast buffet in an old antebellum mansion. We shared a big table with this black family from Alabama. We had the best time talking and laughing. At then end when me and my dad went to leave the parents stood up and gave us a hug. It was amazing, and this was during the supposed black vs white under trump.
I am a barber at Liberty Barbers & Cigars In Middletown, DE. These are definitely the kinds of conversations we have in the shop.
If you come to our shop, prepare for very open and “offensive”conversations. Always remember that there’s no such thing as a private conversation in a barbershop…. So join in on the conversation and enjoy!
I’m a barber also … the conversation is on point but as a barber tell me you didn’t yell at the tv telling him to stfu while I’m doing ur beard lol
🫡🫡💯💯💯
Raised in my moms beauty salon. Same thing happens there. Women get more emotional though.
Wow, I live right down the road from your shop. I've never come across someone from Middletown Delaware in UA-cam comments, lol
Yeah as a barber myself, the whole time I was feeling bad for whoever had to clean up the audio for this video due to the clippers and compressed air.
As one of the few women commenters on here, this was sooo refreshing to see men coming together, not caring about color, having a truly great conversation. A perfect example that WE are NOT divided, like they tell us we are. Stumbled on this video, and then I couldn't stop watching. Our whole country needs more of these conversations. We need to turn off our televisions that have brainwashed us that we are at odds with each other. NO, we are NOT. We need men to BE men. On this last night of 2023, this is the best conversations I've heard all year. I hope you do more of this kinda thing. You now have a new subscriber. Once we all realize what they've done to us, it's going to be a beautiful coming together like nothing we've ever imagined, as least not in my 69 years on this earth. Bring it on!
As a white dude who grew up around bnlack friends, this conversation was fkn fantastic. I've had countless conversations like this over my years and it's nice to finally have more people hear that. All we need to heal our differences is to fkn talk to each other like human beings.
Why dont white people ever have the conversation about Peyton Gendron? Its always about black people
@@fellurs Had to look it up, it's crazy guy who got a life sentence for his crime. I'm not bein rude but I don't get ur point
@@fellurs Also I'm serious when I say this, today, the people who point out black crime are actually trying to help, not demonize
@@Renegade15 they never speak up on it, they never talk about it… yet they’ll talk about george floyd in every talking point
@@fellurs What I’m really suggesting is that, without blame, addressing the issues of sub-sects of black culture, hip hop/drill rap, black on black crime, IS the answer. (EVEN IF YOU BLAME IT ON WHITE PEOPLE, wrong or right, I think partially, if not MOSTLY, right) It’s up to black people if white people aren’t given the freedom to say what I’m saying. I love black people and hope they can get better, but I can’t, we can’t, help if it’s about a blame-game. We lose that one in the US bc of our localized history
Dude with the sunglasses has that preacher blood in him. Sees deep connections in societal issues and has an immense vocabulary to express them. We need more wisdom like he has.
Yeah I really liked his perspectives and insight.
100%
Yeah real well spoken gentleman.. you could just listen to him talk for an hour and seem like fifteen minutes
He called my attention too, really smart and eloquent guy.
Should be given his own talk show.
Hey yo, as a black man..this was everything. I appreciate the dialogue and discussion. Loved every of minute this moment.🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
I must admit as a black woman, I've been a little bummed & disappointed in Crowder since his beef w/ DW...not as far as becoming an anti-fan but just taking a cooling period.🤷🏾♀️😮💨
But this segment touched my heart and I LOVE the concept. I love the Black & White on GI, BUT you in the barbershop every 2 weeks would be a great time too! These men were incredible and the depth of the conversation was so sincere.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great job Crowder, all is forgotten in the New Year & I'm glad to be back as a full fan!🤷🏾♀️😍😂
This is one of the most wholesome things I've seen in a long time. God bless Steven and the Barbershop boys, and God bless America.
I'll never get tired of hearing two strangers talk to one another like this.
My daughter, when she was 11, she thought she should be a boy, I told her not to label herself and give it time. A year later, she decided she was a lesbian. I told her not to label herself and give it time. She’s 19 now and engaged to a respectable young man in the Army.
We need to tell kids this. Don’t listen to the noise, don’t label yourself to meet others expectations. Give it time. The confusion will fade over time.
Unfortunately kids are having medication and surgery that permanently changes them when they don't know the consequence
Ooo military guys always say don't date military men but uhh hope it all works outt
Anyone in the army is not respectable
They invade sovereign nations based on lies and kill women and children.
The military hates the constitution and all citizens
When was the last time the army fought for American rights?
Gaslighting, brainwashed, communist
Labels are there for clarity. If they NEVER label themselves they'll never find themselves.
@@stevengull6703 Wrong. Labels are cages that restrict your perception and choices.
Being labelled (by yourself or others) is more often than not a bad thing. You put yourself in a box, and you are forever stuck in boxes defined by others.
Knowing the existence of characteristics (with a specific name) is different from using that characteristic as a label.
Man, this conversation really hit home with me. I'm a 44yr old white man. We don't have a positive social place like this barber shop. We just go in, get a haircut and sometimes make small talk. There's usually not a deep conversation about our morals, or our life's struggles. It's usually just a transaction and we're gone. Nobody takes the time to get to know one another. Even as a white man, I never thought about it that way. For me, the only place I have these kinds of conversations are at the small town bar. But that's only after I had been going in there for 6+ months or so. The people were nice to me but I was an outsider to them until I proved myself to be trustworthy, not out to get anything from them, or scam them in some way or another. Like the man said, black folks have to dim down "his blackness", I had to be proper and prove to the regulars that I'm not out to scam or deceive someone. I'm kinda ranting now but this is what this country needs, now more than ever, to put our damn phones down and go make something happen Vs watching other people do the shit we should be doing.
Black, white or candy striped, I love everyone.
As a black man, I prefer the “white” way. When I go to a barbershop, I am going for a hair cut; NOT a social outlet.
Get into a good gym or some other type of activity oriented experience.
@@Thor-Orion I'm a small business owner and I work too much, 6am-dark usually. By the time I get done with work I have nothing left for jiu-jitsu. I work out at home and only go out to socialize, occasionally, at the bar I mentioned in my 1st comment. Adulting isn't what I thought it was when I was a kid.
This is actually a genius format, you should do this way more, shows how we all say the same thing. Seeing this makes me realise how powerful of a move it is to split us apart
Agreed …but the split up is working, the narrative from the MSM is making some people act crazy, some have always acted crazy, have you seen the latest viral video from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School? I hope the kid lives, and I hope that “group of teens“ gets punished
When we're fighting amongst ourselves we're not focusing efforts where they should be. We're absolutely falling for this 100%.
I'm a black guy. I was formerly Republican but I don't subscribe to any political party anymore (I am still conservative though). I always loved your stuff crowded, and this is by far one of the best things you've done. Thank you.
Just wondering if you mean you're not a Republican instead of a conservative?
just curious, but why formerly conservative? What happened? I'm formally liberal turned conservative.
@@gustavocambeiro5545 because at some point, you want to stop being the commodity. Lol. Democrats, left, Republican, right., they all work for corporate. If Americans knew their voting power, they will know their choice holds POWER and the PROPER balance of the world.
This is because:
America exports madness.
@@gustavocambeiro5545we don't like the democrats or republicans, you have to many RINO's
@@68Tboywe do not like your RINO'S they are not conservatives.
Steven Crowder is the man. To stand up like this with this kind of fanbase and just tell the truth. People don’t know what you have to go through. Appreciate people like this.
I absolutely love this!
Thank You for bringing all colors into the conversation.
This coming together, breaking up the great divide. Is incredibly important.
They always feel left behind.
It's time WE ALL CAME TOGETHER!
Its actually heartwarming to hear people talk for real and get along. Discovering new things from new perspectives and still getting along and having fun. Great video!
That's because he went to a rich neighborhood.
@@refugeehugsforfree4151always someone like you it’s insane how some of y’all look for problems everywhere and can’t solve a single thing
You should ask this barber shop to host an episode every month, and just talk like this video, put these guys on the payroll cuz they have good ideas and it feels raw and unscripted. Very entertaining to see. You hit the nail on the head with alot of points. These guys are great. More content like this feels more pure and true.
Make it a series of different barbershops around the country. Call it "Change My Barber" or something.
My Dad barbered from 1967 until his back gave out on him in about 2017. I sat in his barbershop and listened to every farmer, banker, salesman and mechanic discuss and solve the problems of the day. From what I see in this video there isn't any real difference in men being men, color aside this was just like being in that old barbershop again.
50 years he did it, amazing good on him
It reminds me of the farmers setting around the one store out in Farmer, NC (yes that’s really a place) where I lived a short time discussing everything. I loved their sense of community & helped them any time they’d come asking me especially when it was time to bring in hay from their fields.
Must have been a master class barber
Lots of knowledge in those years
You’ve never been in a black barbershop
Amazing conversation Steven, my FAVORITE videos of yours are when you go to where people are living and start conversations about anything real. That's what this was, that's why the Change My Mind videos are amazing, and whenever you ask people in public their opinions while calmly challenging them.
More of these please. Every group in their respective cultural communities. Find out how much we really have in common.
we have almost nothing in common and this community almost universally hates every other america is literally just an economic zone for migrants
Would love to see this be a "recurring" segment in the sense of going back to that barber shop if they're willing to have you. Become part of that community they have there and just keep talking with them. Honestly makes me want to go and find a "black" barber shop near me and try to just make it my usual place for a hair cut, cause they obviously know what they're doing and they do it well
Yeah but at the same timd youd be inconveniencing the barbers especially if they aren’t very good with your ethnicity of hair
Love that the guy calls them the “ alphabet community” 😂😂
He wanted to say alphabet mafia
That was the first awesome thing I heard on here, followed by so many more forms of right thinking, not crap agenda-isms. Real people talking, what a concept.
it's alphabet mafia
because is an ever growing long list of alphabets
It’s so beautiful how they were able to put racial differences aside and bond over their hatred of gays
The conversations in my white barbershop is exactly the same as the conversations in this shop. Everyone is welcome, and encouraged to be themselves, skin color is not an issue, or even a thing! We are all WAY more alike than we are different.
Working-class citizen ain't stupid, we are grounded in reality with the thoughts provided for us through our upbringing. We are logical as far as we can go, openminded to new information and immune to clear BS.
Loved the episode! Amazing to see really! If I had a barbershop like this where I'm from, I'd visit at least once a month if only for a nice conversation and to get the feeling of that community!
Sorry for the grammar and spelling mistakes, English ain't my first language. I do hope that you all have a fantastic day!
Please don't apologize for your English, I was able to comprehend everything you said just fine. The fact that you took the time to learn it to get to the level where you can accurately convey your ideas and opinions to an English speaker like me is an awesome achievement, be proud of yourself, no more apologizing for language :)
I've honestly never seen a non-native English speaker use "ain't" as often as you did, nor use as much punctuation. Are you sure it isn't your first language lol
But I agree with what you said about the working class. Most of the tensions in society are manufactured and the only real animosity comes in outlier cases and in the issue of the wealthy vs everyone else. I strongly dislike Marx and Engels but they were right in pointing out who the real enemy of mankind is, they just didn't attack the problem the correct way and left out critical information. Hopefully one day we will be able to step back as a nation of working normal people and truly understand the situation in the world so we can begin the necessary corrections.
We need to crawl out of Plato's cave.
Man, these were some of the best, human, untainted conversations I've heard on a public platform in a long time. Refreshing. Thank you.
Oh yea, nothing fake about Crowder filming himself walking into a black barbershop and being like “hey guys I know Dave Chapelle and Kay Williams are we cool now?!” 🤣🤣🤣
The barber shop is a vibe. I use to go to a black barber shop 20 years ago before all this woke shit, and I never laughed so hard in my life. I hope people understand that interactions like this happen more than what the media portrays, even today.
@@DL-ep5uk And got zero work done.
Personally as a gay black man, I haven’t felt welcomed in the barber shop at all. Lots of inappropriate language, homophobic slurs, etc. I haven’t gone since 2015. Even tho im black, then Black community culturally has a serious problem with disrespecting gay people.
@@christianc5170 That's not a problem, that's how it's supposed to be. I wish white people were more intolerant of that deviant behavior.
A “vibe?”
@@christianc5170 If you're going to use terms like "inappropriate language", I'm assuming it's your attitude.
Man this brings me back to being a kid again. In my hometown the only Barbershop in town was a "black" barbershop with the only other two options in town were 2 salons. And the the owner Richie would be so proud of his work and to this day I still remember seeing the whole football team going in to get matching haircuts for the finals
Easily one of the most civilized encounters I've seen on this channel. Just mature people having a having a conversation, no yelling/cursing, none of that anti-white rhetoric and ugly insults you hear people spout out when they disagree with you. This right here is the way it SHOULD be. We shouldnt have to be afraid to discuss these issues and we should be able to just sit down like adults and have a conversation about it without the foolishness. People of all different backgrounds sharing their perspective, being understanding, speaking with raw honesty, and just talking like adults should. I absolutely love this.
Shout out to everyone in this video for leading by example.
God bless y'all. ☺️
Crowder goes to black barber to prove racism is fake. Meanwhile the barbers shirt:

✊🏿✅
@@nicetryb0z0 Nobody said racism is fake. It's just very rare in the majority of the western world. It's not nearly as rampant as it's made out to be. You'd just about have to be looking for it to find it.
@@studdedleatherlace I wasn't looking for anything this black just wore his sweatshirt that says he doesn't care at all about any political ideologies other than the advancement of his and only his race. But yeah whatever you say. Im sure you'd keep that same energy if you saw a white man with a white power sweatshirt right?
@@nicetryb0z0I see what you're saying there. Personally, even though he wore said shirt, he was indeed still civil and it doesn't hurt when you feel like one race has more than the other. If anything, I blame the media and the ideologies people were forced to grow up hearing/seeing for generations. Although I doubt we'll ever have true unity. The most I can hope for are more civil encounters even with different beliefs, if that makes sense.
@@nicetryb0z0 I'm sure you would keep the same energy if someone was being anti-white. You think everybody hates you because of your race but that isn't true. People don't like you because of the way you think and the way you act. Do you not ever get tired of being a victim?
This was one of the most accurate and healthy revelation of human community that we need to restore. Nice job Stephen!
LOL No bro it is not. He went to a rich neighborhood.
@@refugeehugsforfree4151 you don't know that, quit talking out of your ass
Also, don't you think it's super racist that you implied that black people can only be a healthy community if they're rich?
@@refugeehugsforfree4151 Plano is barely high tier Middle class 🤣 What a womble, "Rich" neighbourhood, get a grip you troll 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Why dont white people ever have the conversation about Peyton Gendron? Its always about black people
Those men were very intelligent and welcomed the conversation. There are so many others like them, we just don't hear from them. Great job, Steven!
This is brilliant, Really enjoyed this. Thank you. Regardless of race, colour, religion, country... We're all brothers and need to be there for each other. Could sit in there for hours with those dudes 🙏🏻 🏴 🇺🇸
This is what we need more of.
Just talking. Having a chill conversation, just hanging out and talking to one another. Noone getting heated over an argument, noone getting frustrated, we just talk and have a good time and at the end of the day, we shake hands and we all leave smarter.
This is what this country needs. Do more of these informal interviews.
Great Show 👏!!! We need more of this, to hear the hard working man’s real opinions. The Republicans need to do this!
I love what Scott Presler was doing with his clean up movement. Scott would go into awful dirty cities, get everyone together, some local, some out-of-towners, and clean the place up. It was amazing!❤ We need more of that!!🎉❤😊
These guys were great. Great perspective, good wisdom, and goods hearts. We need more conversations like this.
I love how tuned in these guys are, more so than the average Americans.
Way more!!!
When have you actually gone and talked to the average Black American Man aka "these guys" to even know??? Y'all just sound so stupid sometimes.
The job they have keeps them in tuned, it's like a benefit to that job the conversation and knowledge that walks through the door and you get to hear everyday.
I think it is the reverse. These guys ARE the average Americans. You aren't going to see them writing long articles or making tik toks and twitter posts. They get up, they work, they live. We have a very vocal minority of people who are running the show right now.
I'll second this. These ARE average Americans. Without the social media BS and the fake subscription click-bait drama.
I LIVE for these discussion videos of yours. Everytime things are starting to feel stale, you release one of these, and I become invigorated. The division out in the world (more specifically media) is so exhausting. I want to hear the people, just talking. I am a wallflower. I like to listen, learn and be around people (so long as I am left alone to do my own thing. Personally interacting with them is exhausting)
They keep trying to tear us apart. It's always good to see someone trying to bring us closer together.
He tore his own family apart and he will do the same to you.
Who’s “they”??
@@BobRoss-wm3lc Politicians, some media, some academics and random others.
Human beings are inherently tribal. You can see people in cities that voluntarily self segregate themselves. It's not really the fault of media etc as much as it's human instincts.
@@skillfuldabest Sure, the natural instinct of most people is to self segregate. Tribes can live side-by-side peacefully, or some people can incite violence between tribes. That's more easily done if there's no personal communication and understanding between the tribes.
Steven....you sir need to make a barbershop series. Like travel when you can to different locations...almost like you do college campuses....and hit up the barber shops in that same area. This was amazing, and would love to see more of this....real...really REAL conversations with people of all backgrounds!
You can tell a lot of these dudes kind of had their guard up at first but man it really became an awesome conversation. Grateful for these videos
Wouldn't you be guarded, regardless of who or what?
What was a single white man going to do to them?
The point is how terrific the conversation was. And how j just a little bit of comrade c can make a difference. Excellent video, excellent content
@@FlappyBelly Or maybe people naturally get a little nervous with big ass cameras around? Idk just a thought
@@FlappyBelly very low iq comment 😂, you think the only reason someone can have their guard up around strangers is threat of violence 😂
This was such a great video. I’m a white guy that has been cutting hair for over 25 years and I’ve worked at a prison for 23. I can truly say that there’s nothing like sitting in a mostly black barbershop and talking shit. And that’s why I love cutting hair. I feel like it gives guys a place to come and be themselves and just decompress. Even if only for 30-45 minutes. It lets them just be. Thanks for making these.
My best friend works as a cosmo in a barbershop. She has the best time with those barbers. They’re all her brothers from another Mother.
Love how these men are so committed to their customers. Great conversation and so productive.
What an absolutely wonderful conversation to experience! So many great points 🙌
This is probably one of the best videos I've seen in a very long time, just folks sitting down and chatting about todays issues. Award worthy. If there was an apocalyptical event, the rich white community would die first.
Crowder should upload more of these, at least twice a month.
And in the case of an apocalyptical event, the rich communities, regardless of race, would die first.
The blue collar people would survive the longest.
😂 😅
I would have to disagree with the last part. Not many poor people can afford to install underground bunkers, solar power, backup generators, weapons, medical supplies, etc... Rich people, regardless of race, have a lot more resources in order to prepare for disasters or severe situations. I think I understand what you mean, which is that rich people are more pampered and poor people are more resilient and adaptable to difficulties. But I know some wealthy people who are very well prepared and even survival trained by experts. And I know a lot of poorer and lower-middle class people who are very reliant on modern conveniences and would be in serious trouble if they suddenly lost access to them.
@@chtm I don't know the numbers but the percentage of wealthy people who know how to defend themselves and fix stuff has got to be lower than the percentage of blue collar people.
This is just so great. I could watch this kind of conversation every day!
This should be a podcast or a segment revisited as often as possible. Open discussion is the key to opening many doors
These are on the Louder with Crowder podcast. I listened to some of it a couple days ago but I actually like watching this more
Love this, thank you. We're not as divided as we're being made to believe. We're just people trying to live our lives and we just want community. We agree on more than we realize.
Do you agree on sack tapping and beating pregnant women?
👏👏👏👍
I could spend a whole day with these fellas. So much common sense and truth. Just flat out good people.
This was a REALLY good listen. An hour long and I'd say pretty much right on cue like the gentleman said that around 20 mins in "You aren't talking to the receptionist anymore you're talking to me" (paraphrasing) and because of that like the man said, when you come in here you get truth. I appreciate that everyone involved in the discussions had their points heard and respected. Great piece! Thanks for making it, cheers!
Respect bro… I really appreciate this conversation. I admire your courage to be vulnerable and go to a place that is foreign to your experience and be honest! We need this!!! Please continue to be real and talk honestly. Truth is something we all recognize but engage with differently. The way you showed your perspective and experience is needed. This type of interaction is vital for people to see. You had so many great points that were considered and taken in. The barbershop had so many great insights to the new information presented in an honest way. This made my day. I felt like I was there. I need to go get trimmed up!!!
This needs to be a series and recurring feature. The black barbershop is a great place to go if you want to find out what people actually think.
'Barbershop' sounds like hit to me.
Almost the same as downtime in the Army. The conversations had, heard, and seen were eye opening. One of the biggest parts I miss being out.
@@cl51930000
Thanks Steven, that was a really good breath of fresh air.
And you make me want to go to a black barbershop now (I usually do my own hair)! Those conversations were awesome. We need more of that in society.
Please make this a series. I think it is really needed.
I'd watch it
Hey Steven and the gang at LWC. I have been with you guys for a long long time in fact I remember back when Steven was on green screen and production value was like $10 a day. This episode was not just great but informative and deep I think this was a winner for you and judging by the chat most of the watchers agree.
The most important thing in this world. Talking and sharing views. Having conversations!!! This video is so powerful it’s unbelievable. Great job Crowder and crew!!!
This felt like a good, healthy, open conversation. Felt like everybody was pretty free to say what really was on their mind, but still with respect. How could that happen if what is being said on the news about racial tensions being worse than ever was actually true? Not saying that tension doesn't exist, but this is some pretty strong evidence that they are lying to all of us, and I wonder why. What I really know is that anybody who is doing that isn't your friend, and they're not trying to help you. You can't fool all of the people all of the time. God bless, Crowder, Big Mike, Travis, and everybody.
One of my favorite episodes of the series. These guys are the most honestly and it really shows how much the legacy media tries to pull us apart. Good work Steven.
Amazing. I hope it becomes a series. Respect to the brothers for showing a side that a lot of people do not see
I really hope that they do another barbershop segment again, this was truly amazing to watch and one of the best formats I've seen in a while. Truly eye opening and a lot of wisdom to be heard and shared
I am so glad I took the time to watch this all the way thru.....I truly appreciate the different perspectives. Thank you....
Keep doing these. Go to a Latino community, Asian, etc etc. whatever you can find. The bald / white shirt dude really explained the black barbershop perfectly.
This is awkward at first but they started opening up. I love the idea Crowder. We have so much in common.
41:00 that hit me in the feels, can relate man. Great convos.
I grew up poor around drugs and alcoholism and crime. I had to explain that to my husband. I value my childhood because it made me resilient. I don't buckle easily now because of it. He's absolutely right. Also why I hate the expression "white privilege". There's "rich privilege" and that's it, regardless of your color. I knew plenty of black families who had more than we had, and that's OK. Different circumstances. Gives you something to strive for.
The thing what Crowder wanted to ask (at least what i understood) was that white men are being constantly shamed and portrayed as villains in media and their problems disregarded, just like he said "what are you whining about?" but everyone has the same problems and everyone struggles. But the society currently downplays white men just because they're white men and they're telling them that their problems aren't real and that they should stop bitching about it.
This conversation is extremely valuable! I think I'm going to start going to barbershops now. I'm a born and raised trailer Park boy near baton rouge. All these black men are telling the truth.
If you need a good barbershop in Baton Rouge let me know.
We aren’t as divided as they want you to think, my nieces and nephews get to choose one ornament every year and my youngest niece chose a black Santa ornament, because it reminds her of her uncle (my childhood friend for 17 years) very wholesome moment in a double wide in Deep East Texas
I loved this intelligent and honest conversation, need more of this type of content
That conversation about having faced adversity early on is huge. I went through a foster care class recently where they talked about some of the kids who have lived in these trauma filled homes usually grow up uncomfortable in nice well adjusted families and may act out BUT may also be calm in chaotic situations
America needs more and more of these conversations. Beautifully done.
This was truly great. Thank you Stephen. Breaking down the barriers of what different people are dealing with without animosity & dispelling that we're inherent enemies. ❤
This was fantastic! Please do more shows with these gentlemen. If everyone got together and talked not shouted we could find a lot of common ground.
I'd love to see more of these guys. They all seemed so chill. But I guess that's what happens when you get to experience a black barber shop. You have that space to be chill with everyone
These segments along with Change My Mind should be pushed harder. Videos like these need to be in everyone's feed. Even if it was a liberal going into a conservative area, it would help relations.
Agreed!!
Proof that we are more alike and aligned than the media would have you believe. What a wonderful conversation.
