As a Black man, I have Black radar. I'm not scared of most of the black people everyone else is scared of, but every once in a while I'll see a bunch of Black teenagers in a rough area looking at me like I'm dinner, and I do an immediate about face and bolt out of that area.
We may be different colors but we're all the same race and there's good and bad people everywhere. I love everyone, but I definitely watch out for evil people.
Ain't that the truth. I'm Caucasian and I'm sorry but I'd be very afraid to visit some areas in the deep south where there are, unbelievably, STILL KKK members, redneck hillbilly crazy people that hate everyone. Forgive me, I'm not trying to perpetuate stereotypes but years ago I ran into people like that in Florida and it was very unsettling.
That “I’m going out there” is SO REAL! I grew up in Baltimore City and that was always my dad. We’d wake up in the middle of the night to some strange noise and my dad would be out there a minute later with his flashlight.
I'm as white as snow and I moved into a black neighborhood. Oh my gosh, I AM the white guy in the black neighborhood that he described. I never thought about it before, but his narrative is spot on.
This is why nobody respects black m*n. Every time you see a black man manhandled by the police or a Karen calling the police on a black person or a black child remember your comments.
what? A democrat told me different. It can't be true. I've been a kid and yeah i teased and bullied other kids and the same happened to me. It had everything to do with race. We were all white.
Years ago I was running to the parking ramp to avoid the traffic after a Vikings game. As I was running up behind a black guy and apparently startled him. He turned around and said “ you’re white, thank goodness “
I'm Asian and one day I was walking on the sidewalk behind a young black man when it was already dark. I guess he sensed that someone was behind him. He quickly turned around with a startled expression and then let out a sigh of relief when he saw I was Asian.
There were about 1300 kids in my high school. Only about 4 or 5 were black. We had a new black kid start and he told us about how he was in the office to get some paperwork sorted. One of the other black boys happened to come in with his mom. The mom got all excited and started hugging him 😄
I get her and I also get how her son wanted to cry in embarassment. Because I would be that mom but for self-control. I try to give my baby all the room to negotiate social moments. But any child in a school predominantly of a different race does not want their mom coming to the rescue after the age of maybe nine. I try to always let him know I am there for him, but I let him fight his battles as he is able. But we must always remember, prejudice for any reason has destroyed lives since the beginning of humanity. It's time to stop. It's time to make a real effort across all populations to accept others and to work for a common goal. We can give every human food and water and basic safety. Ok. I got off topic. Signing out.

I'm White and worked in downtown LA for a stretch many years ago. We had a loose collection of independent contractors there working in finance, and one of the guys that I had struck up something of a friendship with was Black. It wasn't my first stint working in downtown LA, and I knew to be careful of my surroundings if I was leaving in the evening. One night, he followed me out the door and said, "Hey, wait up," seeking to take advantage of the safety of company. I was momentarily surprised, thinking that he would not be the potential target that I was because of his race, but immediately realized by his obvious caution that race wasn't the issue; it was both of us as employed individuals with assets that was the issue.
As a white man married to a black woman, I'll freely admit I'm scared of groups of black people too (if I don't know them). Likewise, my wife is uncomfortable being the only POC among a large group of whites, so we try not to put each other in those situations. Just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary, so must be doing something right!
Funny! Our across the street neighbors and friends are a black couple, and we call her our neighborhood watch captain! She works from home and always knows everything going on, greets all the new neighbors. She's awesome. We always let her know when we're going out of town and she keeps an eye on our house, once in a while I'll get a text from her, "there's a tan Yukon in your driveway!"
it's nice when neighbors actually keep an eye on your house or at the very least keep an interest on what's going on in the neighborhood to see if any criminal activity is going on. occasionally, i'll hear reports about break-ins into homes. granted, there is a fine line between being a nosy karen and being a concerned neighbor.

@axllomein7215 black people tend to make fun of me being "proper". And I just don't like being around too many white people. Being one of the few in a white school, it's isolating. First day of second grade I was called Blackie and told I couldn't jump rope with the kids I was trying to play with. Really kept to myself after that.
I worked for a black lady for 10 years, almost. One day she said to me, out of nowhere, “I think I’m gonna halfta sell my house.“ I asked why. She replied, “They's too many black people moving in.“ I smiled. “You know if I said that, you could call me a racist.“ She smiled and said, “I know! But I can say it cuz I’m black.” I asked, “Why don’t you want black people moving into your neighborhood?“ “I like living around white people. White people treat me good! White people take care of their yards. And white people don’t blast their music at 1 o’clock in the morning. Nobody in my neighborhood has ever had to call the police because someone was playing their music too loud.“ It’s fun when you have a chance to really get to know black people up close and personal. Ruthie was born in 1949 and grew up in Tennessee, raised by her grandmother and grandfather. She lived Segregation. She went to all-black schools where the textbooks were all stamped "Discard." They got the textbooks the white school threw away. She lived the civil rights movement.
As a white guy who's had the cops called on him for playing loud music at night (not the smartest time in my life) I'm glad she got to live around some good people. At this point in history, it's really not even about race anymore. Some people want to be safe, some people want to make everything about them. Moving based on that is just smart.
Did the same as her and I'm black and grew up in a very black space in New Jersey. I have family still there and it's RARE I ever go back there to visit. The murder, robbery, and shooting rates have gone through the roof there and it's nothing like what it was in the early 80s when I was a kid there.
In college, one of my co-workers, a black woman in her early 30s, said the same thing. This was 90s Chicago, and she said, “I gotta move, cause the new landlord let too many BLANK move into the building.”
That's basically what my father told us when he said lock the doors as we took a detour off the interstate through Chicaco. Just because we don't hate because of race doesn't mean we still wont get it directed at us.
For me being a woman it doesn't matter the color. I just avoid a group on men period. And if it's just one individual and I get a bad vibe I will distance myself. I'm white and had to walk home from work one night. There was a white dude and he was on the other side of the street, but seeing him around town before I could tell he was trouble. He was about to cross the street to where I was and I took my pepper spray and held it up my hand where he could clearly see it. He decided not to cross the street.
We women have to take so much care - waking, driving, going out anywhere, the predators are out there. I always have pepper spray in my hand when I leave the house.
I was followed by a group of 3 guys getting off the bus one night. Two of them kept trying to make eye contact with me and ask my name. They took all the same turns I did and were laughing and getting closer to me. Luckily a car got between us and I ran the rest of the way home.
@pointlessNYC BTW, they follow women even in cars! From the time I was 5 walking home from kindergarten to middle age presently, I have lost count of how many weirdos have pursued me, but around 5 before adulthood, the last time being when I got out of my car to check air pressure on a tire at night in a parking lot. Two guys in the adjacent lot followed me halfway home until I ditched them, the time before that I was driving home from work after midnight and two seemingly drunk guys at a red light started waving and trying to talk to me. I took a bunch of wrong turns and they also followed me - I was about to drive to the state troopers barracks but lost them. When that song "I'm Just a Girl" mentioned not being able to drive at night, it's too true. Twice when I was walking as a child and as a teenager, I approached strangers' doors pretending that I had arrived home to shake predators. I started life in a small city, but it wasn't any better in the suburbs.
He is spot on. I;m Black. And when I go back home to visit my old neighborhood. I truly watch myself. Its not like it was in the old days. We actually looked out for one another. Out there now, its every man, kid, or woman for themselves. Everybody is packing something. Spray, knives', guns, they are everywhere. And kids don't fight anymore. They shoot.
Yeah, and it's not new either. I recall back in the mid-90s watching local news and they interviewed this 20-something black guy in Oakland. He said, "used to be dudes would come at you from the shoulders. Now they comin' from they pocket."
For those saying it's racial profiling, it's not. Nobody is going to cross the street if the black person is dressed in suit and tie with a briefcase or dressed up in medical scrubs looking professional. Why? Because we see a person with a valuable job and purpose that has too much to lose to try to commit a crime.
You reminded me of the scene from Mean Girls. Cady is the new kid in class. She is from South Africa and Caucasian. The teacher looks at an African American student and says, “Welcome to America!” *click, *click* The girl stares back, bewildered. “I’m from Michigan.”
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” ― Jesse Jackson
If Mr Jackson wasn’t busy making the world where that’s true then I’d feel bad for him. But he actively advocates for criminals to be allowed out of jail BECAUSE of their race 🤦♂️. So he gets to forever feel the hypocrisy of his internal emotions vs his actions.

OMGosh! I was always the new kid in town, between being an Army Brat & my dad’s career ambitions I went to 12 different schools before High School graduation. Two years the longest at any one of them. Discrimination & bullying was pretty strong - race or heritage didn’t matter. KUDOS!
I would like to live in a neighborhood of (almost) ALL Black grandmothers! They have a lot of knowledge to impart, they're great cooks, they take no crap from anyone, and they're hilarious!
Nah, because my black grandmother whipped every kid on the street when she caught them misbehaving. Can you imagine getting spankings from multiple black grandmothers. 😅 One is enough.
Same. As an Asian American, some people think I can relate to other Asian Americans. The reality is that I am scared of them. I don't know what they want from me. And, they don't know what they want from me, either. >.>
Same. I am caucasian, I see a group of other caucasians gathered, that do not look like a family and they look over at me, oh dear, if they look at me, scary. Of course I was bullied growing up, being noticed is something I avoid. But I suppose no matter ones race we all have these moments.
I moved to Miami to a racially mixed neighborhood. I met my neighbors then went on vacation. A friend was going to do work on the house while I was gone. He had his van backed up to my garage unloading stuff. He turned around to see two men with guns. My neighbors God bless em. I learned to communicate with the neighbors.

Galatians 3:28 " There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither free nor bond, there is neither male nor female; For ye all are ONE in Christ Jesus." But the routine was hilarious.
That's a soteriological passage about Jesus that you're twisting. It means that race, class, and sex won't save your soul, but that doesn't make them nonexistent or meaningless. The same writer, St. Paul, also tells wives to submit to their husbands as they would submit to God and tells slaves to obey even harsh masters faithfully.
@@TheLlamaHaze I won't bandy words with those who refuse to take them in the SPIRITUAL CONTEXT. In the realm of God all these magnified differences will add up to NOTHING. As I read I let the Spirit lead. Unless you seek His light you will not find illumination. Godspeed pilgrims.

Men don't get it and say we're paranoid but we have to constantly assess risk because men are menacing.
I feel the same way.
@pointlessNYC BTW, they follow women even in cars! From the time I was 5 walking home from kindergarten to middle age presently, I have lost count of how many weirdos have pursued me, but around 5 before adulthood, the last time being when I got out of my car to check air pressure on a tire at night in a parking lot. Two guys in the adjacent lot followed me halfway home until I ditched them, the time before that I was driving home from work after midnight and two seemingly drunk guys at a red light started waving and trying to talk to me. I took a bunch of wrong turns and they also followed me - I was about to drive to the state troopers barracks but lost them. When that song "I'm Just a Girl" mentioned not being able to drive at night, it's too true. Twice when I was walking as a child and as a teenager, I approached strangers' doors pretending that I had arrived home to shake predators. I started life in a small city, but it wasn't any better in the suburbs.
I love this dudes honesty....Takes guts to do that these days.
He is so clever and refreshing. He actually laughs at himself!
He is spot on. I;m Black. And when I go back home to visit my old neighborhood. I truly watch myself. Its not like it was in the old days. We actually looked out for one another. Out there now, its every man, kid, or woman for themselves. Everybody is packing something. Spray, knives', guns, they are everywhere. And kids don't fight anymore. They shoot.
Yeah, and it's not new either. I recall back in the mid-90s watching local news and they interviewed this 20-something black guy in Oakland. He said, "used to be dudes would come at you from the shoulders. Now they comin' from they pocket."
very funny, phenomenal delivery and an incredible voice! hope to see more of this gentleman.
This video needs to be much longer. I could listen to this man for an hour. Sharp and true, the best kind of funny.
I`m not into audiobooks but I would listen to him narrate the phone book. Such a soothing voice.
Speaking as a black person, I sometimes see a black person and have to cross the street.
Lolololol
That’s racial profiling
I'm white and often do the same with white folks. 🤷😂
@@ObviouslyNotYou I'm black as well and I definitely co-sign to what KirbyLinkACW said 😂
For those saying it's racial profiling, it's not. Nobody is going to cross the street if the black person is dressed in suit and tie with a briefcase or dressed up in medical scrubs looking professional. Why? Because we see a person with a valuable job and purpose that has too much to lose to try to commit a crime.
You reminded me of the scene from Mean Girls. Cady is the new kid in class. She is from South Africa and Caucasian. The teacher looks at an African American student and says, “Welcome to America!” *click, *click*
The girl stares back, bewildered. “I’m from Michigan.”
Jeff Goldblum’s lost brother from another mother 🤣🤣🤣
their dad's been busy
This is why I make it a point to smile when I see us. I’m tired of ppl who look like me frowning at my face
Riiiiiiiight
I'm with you on that! Some of our folks are so bad that they even look bothered if you give them a closed mouth smile. We have to change that.
@@TheBlvdjewelYes... it's really bad these days!
@abwexposed9890 Agreed! I couldn't have expressed that point better!
Yea, giving each other the tough guy mad dog look first. That’s the problem. Can’t just smile and be peaceful.
What a wonderful, funny and talented man. Well done and thank you, Rod.
He's right about that last joke. Except I'd be in my boxers with a twelve gauge. 😂
Facts
Ha haa you are hilarious 😂 thanks
@@IvoryS2012 Absolutely not joking... but you're welcome.
@Shastavalleyoutdoorsman I know your not joking that's why I'm laughing. Other people are like he's crazy. Nope. We are just concerned citizens 🙄
Well technically I ALREADY have a 12 gauge in my boxers, knowwhutimsayin? 😁😁
“There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps... then turn around and see somebody white and feel relieved.” ― Jesse Jackson
I was waiting for this quote.
Ooof! But true.
If Mr Jackson wasn’t busy making the world where that’s true then I’d feel bad for him. But he actively advocates for criminals to be allowed out of jail BECAUSE of their race 🤦♂️. So he gets to forever feel the hypocrisy of his internal emotions vs his actions.
The Gay neighbour line is delivered as a master class.
Rod Paulette has a mastery of timing and delivery.
I like the honesty in this clip and in the comment section 😅😂❤
Goood comedy brings out the smart and funny cmnts.!
@@CONEHEADDK oh for sure
the clip and comment section is biased.
@@Calvinje88 like the rest of the world - how strange...
@@CONEHEADDK you’re not scared of black people, you just don’t like black people.
Ok, let's just all admit that this is funny whether you are black or white. It's reminiscent of how comedy was back in the days before PC culture.
For realz
All in the family & the Jeffersons had crazy racial jokes & we all just laughed.period.
I guess you guys have never heard the infinitely more funny Bill Burr...
This is Dry Bar so maybe not.
He’s proof that PC culture can be ignored if you have balls
@@john2g1 Of course!! Bill Burr that's my man!!! My favorites being " no reason to hit a woman" and " keeping up with my black friends fashion ". Fckn hilarious.
So natural and easy to watch. I can't help but think this guy should go far. Great stuff.
Will have to look for his full special!
This dude is hilarious! I need to find more of his stuff now. I love his jacket too.
Black men walking down the street after dark. Spanish men walking down the street after dark. White men walking down the street after dark. These are all people I would avoid, if I were walking down the street after dark.
Sexist and racist
That's just a rule. "Nothing good Happens after 1 am."
@@laurabeane8862I thought the saying was nothing good happens past ten? Maybe ppl just rowdier these days and consider more things good?
But what about 6pm? Or even 2pm? The same rule doesn’t apply to the other groups. Just blacks.
You don't have to avoid Chinese. No one ever got mugged by a Chinese guy.
I'm black and scared of em too...can't lie. I live by "More than two, what do you do??" "When you see three, you must flee!" "Four or more, time to hit the door!" 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
If there's five you ain't leavin alive
Lmao. That's funny stuff.
If I see two sagging teenagers with dreadlocks in a white vest approach I'll either turn around or pretend I live in the next house😂
😂😂🤣🤣😂😂@@olliefoxx7165
1:39 This is so true! 😂. I'm black and whenever Ive gone to a predominately black area I immediately get mad stares like I'm the next target for destruction. 😂
What a good cadence. Absolute radio material.
I’m black and I am a little alarmed when I see 50 or more black people 😂
A little? If it ain’t work or church I’m out✌🏾
Alarmed? Yeah if im ever in a setting and everyones blk im out....
Nah you just so happen to be black....huge difference
50 black people, a football team!
lol, even little League football games getting shot up now because 5 year old Trevante AIN'T starting.
He is really funny and he's got a fantastic voice.
Hilarious. Thanks for all the laughs!
So very sad. Just sad. I worry for my grandson, he is a really good child.
This guy is literally putting down his race while masking it with comedy and here we wonder we keep being afraid of our people 😢
There are sketchy apples in every bunch. And that's probably the safest flight you'll ever fly 😂.
Thank you, Mr. Paulette. ♥️ your heart & storytelling.
At least he's not throwing around the N-word during his routine , like all other Black comics...you can be funny w/o saying N-this, N-that...Kudos to you Rod..
This is Dry Bar comedy, created for mostly clean comedians for the Christian streaming platform/movie studio Angel Studios. It's not HBO stand-up.
Louis C K and the N-word 😐
@@DarrellTurnerJr Louis C K aint funny, but you cant even compare every single black comedian Men and women, their whole skit is N- this , N-that, Richard Prior , never used it , Eddie Murphy rarely, I just find it odd that a Black guy thinks its funny , Dave Chappell , he's a different Cat , Everyone Loves him.All Im saying is ,Im old school, its also overly used in Rap songs,,NEVER Rap songs 25 years ago.
Aww it makes you uncomfortable
Cause he grew up around white people and learned how to speak and act properly.
I am crying 😂 😅😅😂😂 this comedian should be more known he is super funny🔥🔥🔥
Bro KILLED this skit😂. Can't wait to see more of Rob in the future
If I want to literally laugh out loud, I look to the comedians. Rod Paulette, you are very funny! loved it! 🤣
Soul plane 😂😂😂
OMGosh! I was always the new kid in town, between being an Army Brat & my dad’s career ambitions I went to 12 different schools before High School graduation. Two years the longest at any one of them.
Discrimination & bullying was pretty strong - race or heritage didn’t matter.
KUDOS!
Darn...I need an hour of this guy...he is hilarious..
I would like to live in a neighborhood of (almost) ALL Black grandmothers! They have a lot of knowledge to impart, they're great cooks, they take no crap from anyone, and they're hilarious!
I second that lol. nothing like that old fashioned southern charm from grannies.
Nah, because my black grandmother whipped every kid on the street when she caught them misbehaving.
Can you imagine getting spankings from multiple black grandmothers. 😅 One is enough.
YES… that would be the ultimate.
Natural and naturally funny..not trying too hard...relaxed delivery...cool
This is one of the funniest sets I've seen. This deserves 2 likes.
Woah! That VOICE ❤
Wow, this is on point! I've been saying this to folks for years. There are a few cities in the US that got me feeling like that, lol.
Great! We are all the same. He said it!
❤️🔥NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HOW THIS SINISTER PROGRAMING IS REALITY❤️🔥
I so needed this video. Excellent, and so are you. Peace Out Handsome Man😘
BRO!!! This was HILARIOUS!!!
a comedian who didnt use one swear word got his story out there and very funny love it thank you
?
TRUE WORD!!! He is hilarious! And spot-on!
According to the 70's movie "DELIVERANCE," white people are scared of white people too😂😂😂😂
Excellent point and funny!
He is sooo funny!! He makes us all laugh at ourselves!!
Same. As an Asian American, some people think I can relate to other Asian Americans. The reality is that I am scared of them. I don't know what they want from me. And, they don't know what they want from me, either. >.>
Same. I am caucasian, I see a group of other caucasians gathered, that do not look like a family and they look over at me, oh dear, if they look at me, scary. Of course I was bullied growing up, being noticed is something I avoid. But I suppose no matter ones race we all have these moments.
😂😂😂
Stop trying to insert asians , no your not scared.
"they don't know what they want from me either" LOL scariest part of all
Never heard of Rod. Refreshingly honest and funny in a Non-PC way. Keep it up!
I moved to Miami to a racially mixed neighborhood. I met my neighbors then went on vacation. A friend was going to do work on the house while I was gone. He had his van backed up to my garage unloading stuff. He turned around to see two men with guns. My neighbors God bless em. I learned to communicate with the neighbors.
Rod I dont know if you want an HBO special, but your way good enough to have one. Your Comedy brings me Joy and Peace. Rare.
I live in the woods so if I hear someone getting into my car at 3AM there aren't going to be questions asked and I wont bother putting on socks and boxers either. 🤣
If I lived in the woods I'd come outside bukket naked to turn em into swiss cheese!😂
@@JaysRandomnessChannelif I'm in the woods for some weird reason, come across your property somehow, and see a guy wearing nothing but a bucket, I'm clenching cheeks and beating feet!
@@jeremysales1232 😂😂😂
That's because it's a bear getting into your car 😆
Way to call out how folks get uncomfortable with people different from them.. " I see you" : )
I've never heard of this guy. Good stuff! Funny guy. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for more of his performances.
He is actually speaking the truth. There are good people and their are bad people.
LOL "Who are you exactly?" Right on the nose. LOL
That was funny. There's places I rarely visit around Atlanta because you're rolling the dice. It is what it is.
Ferreal. I've been to sketchy spots around Atlanta, East Point, Decatur, etc. to do flooring work with my buddy (we're Asian Americans), and hell, I'm watching my six and his the whole time we're there. And best belive I'm carrying, for sure. Told my buddy if we ever get work down around those parts again, I ain't gonna make it.
I wouldnt live in Atlanta rent free in a luxury penthouse.
South Carolina , Memphis & Jacksonville are a Hard No for me.
Ive lived in 22 cities those 4 I gotta pass on
Very very funny guy with a lot of sophistication. ❤❤❤
Galatians 3:28 " There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither free nor bond, there is neither male nor female; For ye all are ONE in Christ Jesus." But the routine was hilarious.
That's a soteriological passage about Jesus that you're twisting. It means that race, class, and sex won't save your soul, but that doesn't make them nonexistent or meaningless. The same writer, St. Paul, also tells wives to submit to their husbands as they would submit to God and tells slaves to obey even harsh masters faithfully.
@@TheLlamaHaze I won't bandy words with those who refuse to take them in the SPIRITUAL CONTEXT. In the realm of God all these magnified differences will add up to NOTHING.
As I read I let the Spirit lead. Unless you seek His light you will not find illumination. Godspeed pilgrims.
@@TheLlamaHaze 1corinthians 7:21-23 "Were you called while a slave? Don’t let it concern you. But if you can become free, by all means take the opportunity. 22 For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of people."
One of the funniest new comedians I’ve heard in a while. Good stuff.
Oh My Gosh, This is truly hilarious! "I can bring you something from "Cleveland"! Love this ❤❤
This was very funny. Please keep up the good work you guys.
This was very FUNNY & ACCURATE!!!!❤😂🎉
We need more of this.
Funny! That was refreshing, sir. Thank you.
AS a "black" man I can relate but I have also walked into some bars in some small towns in the south traveling and felt the same feeling. Like I don't think I'm going to grab a burger after all, juts gonna get my "black" @#$% on out of town.
