Yo this is the ONE right here even if it wasn’t Juneteenth kdot or any black artist is not Obligated to have a non black person involved and the crazy part with all the racist shit that comes from Mexicans in southern California that none of these same people even speak about for them to have the mouth to say they should be a part of anything black folks do rap or otherwise is baffling to me
The supreme irony....he was on a HIP HOP PODCAST....think about that. A fundamentally BLACK music genre. He is the host of a hip hop podcasts that talks almost exclusively about non-black artists and had the unmitigated gall to let that ignorance slide out of his mouth

There were speeches and presentations. Each group had their TURN, their TIME.

And Lopez basically hijacked the moment and interjected questioning and making demands of inclusion for Latinas. She may not have meant it the way it came across, but her statements seemed to imply that Latinas were more deserving of the donation. No one interjected / disrupted any other group’s time. But from obvious jealousy or some crap, she felt she had to interject about this gift from Goldman Sachs to the black women collective practically bashing them for giving the money to black women and not including Latinas. Even if she wanted to confront them about it, WAIT until the end and present her case. She totally monopolized the time and took that moment from black women. Goldman Sachs is a multi billion dollar mega corporation who can give their money to whoever they want to. And if they had any plans in the future to donate money to the Latina women collective, she may have killed it by hijacking their presentation and bashing them in an attempt to call them out by trying to tell them what to do with their money. At the end of the day, another multibillion dollar corporation ended up matching Goldman Sachs’ donation to the black women collective. I don’t know, but who knows that last minute donation match may have probably been for the Latina collective. But after her interference, the Ford Foundation decided to give it to black women.
Other races feel so entitled to us black folks. We can’t ever have things for ourselves. They feel entitled to us sexually, our privacy, our presence, and our culture. It’s an obsession at this point.
Bro even other black ethnicities that aren’t ADOS I’m black British of Nigerian decent and I’ve been here since black Twitter was a thing and I’VE NEVER been effing with that I celebrate you guys but I know I’m always more like bigging up my favourite cousin rather than wearing you guys like a skin
And then to top it off they're an ethnicity not a race. He can also take his "we were put through things too" with the groups that did that to them because that doesn't have ish to do with blk folks.
Exactly. That as well as "Black and LGBT," "Black and *insert other group politicians would rather help over us*." That stuff is not organic. There weren't any grassroots involved. Their grassroots didn't sit at the table with our grassroots, come to some sort of solidarity, and then spread that info to each respective group. That coalition concept came from the top down via politicians and the mainstream media to make it seem as if we have the same struggles but in actuality it's for the politicians to really do more for the other groups while pretending to care about us.
There is no such thing as brown people. Latin America has white and black just like everywhere else. People try to minimize the issue by calling it colorism. It's really not. There are 23 countries in Latin America and each one has a distinct racial history.
Exactly! And it's something I noticed during this whole beef. Other communities were routinely misinterpreting Kendrick's lyrics. They had no idea what they were talking about.
They can't even explain what juneteenth is but want to complain about black people, this is why we should have been gatekeeping hip-hop because people like this think they are a part of it.
It’s our nature to be welcoming but it’s constantly been a danger to us. Guests in the culture should conduct themselves as such. Unfortunately they get too comfortable and disrespectful until checked. Like BBL drizzy.
@gracebayclt5511 it's a gift and a curse because no other group does this. You are not going to see black people except in Asian, Indian, white, or Latino culture. Hell, every one I named has black people there they don't even like who've been there for centuries.
@gracebayclt5511 Even that first statement makes me cringe a bit, our people aren't "welcoming by nature", but have been beat and bred into cultural submission. I'm not just talking about slavery but in every day discussion where black ppl "don't own anything" and so aren't allowed to gatekeep, but other groups are applauded for protecting their cultural markers. Just my 2 cents
And this chick Valentina Gomez saying that Juneteenth is ratchet and if black people don't like America, GTFO is what the brown Karen said and never ever hear a black person said anything about hating America, America just got problems and Valentina needs to get the hell out of dodge with that bull ish.
Black folks start OscarsSoWhite and then John Leguizamo starts complaining about Hispanics not winning enough Oscars. It's almost like they don't know what to fight for until we start fighting for it.
I’m an Afro-Mexican American and have seen no short supply of my Mexican brothers and sisters appropriate black culture and use the N-word, but always have complaints when black folks get good things. Btw, Mexican-Americans are White on paper even if not culturally. There are advantages to that that they deny having.
@@UniversityofuncommonsenseIt can get complicated at least for most Americans. First off you have to be able to differentiate between race, nationality, and ethnicity. Those are 3 of a number of different categories and many of us from foreign countries self identity with several. Here this person is identifying racially( Afro) which indicates they are of African descent and nationality or culturally( Mexican - American ) .
They're jealous of the attention black people receive in this country. They want their name out front, they want the glory but they don't want the negativity we face.
You're right 👍🏿👍🏿they wanna ride our coat tails but don't want to do the work to up lift their own ppl. Not like us!!!!!! This wasn't for mexicans or latins, but celebrating Juneteenth!!!!!!
The attention black people receive? From what, being over policed? From being 13% of the US population but about half of the prison population? The attention from racists who police our hair and our bodies? Attention from who? Not politicians because they don't do a damn thing for us. Or do you mean they're jealous of the attention that black rappers and pro athletes get as celebrities and trendsetters?
Did you see HBO’s Watchmen? There’s a reason why it didn’t get a second season. Because what whites did in that show in response to us getting reparations was too real.
And that's why it's dangerous to call yourself a poc. You should be identifying as black! So that you're not mixed in the pot with everyone else. And that is also a reason why it's so easy for other demographics of brown people to climb on our backs when we're fighting for the things that WE need. Just as this young man is saying
I loved the pop out. Kendrick Lamar did everything right Juneteenth in my eyes. When the Mexicans have their celebration, commemoration, whatever they put together and do, blacks will not expect a spot on stage and rightfully so.
Black AMERICANS will not expect a spot on their stage but Black MEXICANS can expect a spot & go on their stage. Truth is, Mexico only recently acknowledged Black Mexicans, who have lived there for Centuries, even existed.
As an African who has never been to the USA and has witnessed the greatness bestowed upon my African American brothers and sisters I can confirm that jealousy of your culture, your impact on the world and your popularity on the world stage is awesome and unfortunately you have no idea how big you are. Personally I am proud of you and am also proud of my people for fighting apartheid and we continue to fight neocolonialism.
I love your words. I feel that black Americans don't truly know their impact. I am proud of you brothers and sisters who are fighting apartheid. Love you from far away God bless.
"There's not enough Tabitha Brown or Patti LaBelle products in this Mexican grocery store!" "There's not enough box braids on these salsa dancers!" "There's not enough Spike Lee movies on Telemundo!" 😆
And it is this ignorance that is at this foundation of the problem. They appear to think that Juneteenth is like Cinco de Mayo rather than one that has a solemn undertone.
Thank you ! Somebody said it ! I cringe so hard every time I hear “hood” Latinos talking amongst themselves dropping the N word like nothing . Like for real !? It’s crazy ! That’s why I don’t like anyone saying it , because they get comfortable in spaces where black people say it and since they don’t check them , then they think “oh it’s cool now so I can say it too” .
Why do we say it. We disrespect each other all the day long with the word are we ignorant unlearned boisterous if we are not let’s stop referring this word to each other in public places and in the music. We act as though it is cool to call each other the N word.
If you’re not black American you’re not black, you’re whatever ethnicity/ country your parents are from. Stop with the flat blackness. Race is a social construct
"I'm not trynna make it go racial" *proceeds with ignorance* This wasn't about celebrating LA culture or Mexican culture. I honestly didn't expect the Edgar's to complain about K Dot's concert.
@@rhaporrumpunch Think about it…Kendrick Lamar is a pretty big star, right? Attention flows where he goes, and there’s potentially money to be made. These folks wanted to get paid, didn’t get it like they felt they deserved it, and now the sense of entitlement is bruised. That these dudes could go on a podcast and whine like this about being “underrepresented” at an historical commemoration that they clearly knew or cared nothing about speaks volumes: “How dare y’all make a move without clearing it through us?” Hopefully, I make more sense now?
I blame us... Unfortunately. We spent so long trying to have "friends" and including everyone in everything we have, now everyone else feels entitled to what we have and do.
We do have friends and we’re going to have friends because that’s who we are. That being said, friends should show themselves friendly, at least learn about the origins of your friends celebration. Learn the context, after all when you come to the cookout you’re going to have ribs, potato salad greens etc. because it’s our cookout. Please don’t expect tortillas, rice, beans etc. just as when we come to your fiesta we don’t come looking for greens and potato salad. Explain it like that!
@@deloresmatt8643 you're speaking on an individual level. As a whole, we have no friends. The black folks of those other cultures get the same low class treatment we get here. What makes you think the same groups who mistreat their own black citizens are happy to be our friends? On an individual level, yeah, you have individuals from other groups who are friends, but as a whole, no, their people are not as accepting of us.
@@apexone5502 I suspect previous generations who had it harder or were witnesses to the hardships did not teach new generations what that statement means. I see so many comments from people who use their personal relationships to invalidate the argument.Others are confused by the meaning. I don't know why these conversations are not mandatory in all households.
The funny thing is that there ARE Mexicans who celebrate Juneteenth... But they're a group that lives along the U.S./Mexican border called the Mascagos who are the descendants of Black Seminoles who left Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) to evade persecution. Part of them live in Texas and part of them live in Mexico and they speak English, Spanish, and a dialect of Muscogee (Creek)... But I doubt they want to be represented by Afro-Mexicanos (since they hardly acknowledge the black Mexicans in Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Veracruz)...
Imagine wanting Mexican representation at a Juneteenth event and you as a Mexican don't know what Juneteenth is, and don't have enough respect for black people to look it up. He is an embarrassment to his people🤦🏾♀️
Aa soon as he voiced his confusion about Juneteenth and then continued to be soooo wrong, I said "Just stop talking! You are complaining about something you didn't even take the time to understand.
Shows how disrespectful he is of the culture when he wants in on a holiday he didn't even have enough care to research on. That's akin to him saying 'Eff your culture, eff the meaning of your holiday and eff what said holiday means to you, we want in and we want the focus on us!'
Amen. They are not like us. I hope black folks stop saying black and brown people this is the craziest thing I've ever heard. We have got to stop this and check people every time these black folk say this foolishness.
I loved that book as lil girl.📖😍 It was one of my favorite stories.🥹 Even as a child I understood that it was fair that she didn’t share.🤷🏾♀️ The other animals didn’t help so they didn’t get nothing.

She's been tacky, tasteless and anti-black for a long time. Remember when she bogarted her way into a BET celebration of blk achievements. Every community keeps ws alive in their own way. Clock it and move accordingly.
Exactly! After the Wayans and Livin Color put Jennifer and Others 'on'...How often do Puerto Ricans and Other hispanics put BlackAmericanDOS 'ON'? ✊🏿💯✊🏿
It's sad that people want access to BP and want to be invited to the cookout until it's time to fight for justice or simply respect and understand our culture. "They not like us." We are minding our business and it's never enough. Smh
My Black Sisters and Brothers stay on code. Stick together. Don't give them no explanation. We're never invited to anything Mexican. They don't like us.
Mexicans are getting too emboldened in the country. We had Valentina Gomez, running for Missouri Secretary of State talking nonsense about blacks and reparations.
FTR, that woman is from Colombia not Mexico but that’s a minor detail. Your point is 100% valid. She neither knows nor cares that without the *BLACK* civil rights movement, she might never have been able to come here. The immigration quotas from everywhere else except for Europe were extremely limited, and even then, Northern and Western European countries got “dibs” in that order…
was V.G. born in America? if not, she has her green-card? Earned it? if not... can a born American run for a political office in Mexico? political science class: are there rules to this thing?
Right? He didn't even have enough respect to see what the holiday was about before demanding to be included. He just wanted unearned shine for his people.
It’s actually pretty pathetic to not see the solidarity shared between different minority groups that have helped to facilitate progress but if you want to pretend that never existed you’re only displaying your own ignorance of history
I wholeheartedly agree that black americans need to gatekeep our culture more than we do. Sucks that so many see that as negative or divisive when it's actually quite necessary.
I'm no longer giving credit to the collective because a few of their individuals showed up. You did nothing for it, so you get nothing from it. Never apologize for taking it there. It'll never be too deep Calvin. If we kept the standards deep and intelligent maybe gatekeeping would come easier. Instead we have superficial "yes men" at the entrance letting everyone dance on stage.
Even while letting everyone dance they can't control everyone's actions. How come this man is the only Mexican to show up? There weren't more? I assume they knew better than he and didn't show up. He only spoke about himself. So if people showed up to dance on stage and he's the only one then that's it. I am still not sure how (in what way) he wanted to be included. He was included as much as he could be, no more, no less.
@@MsJoyce31202He should have read the room ( on stage) & DECLINED the invite to take to the stage with the FBA’s… even if others insisted his inclusion… 😏🌸✌🏽
@@MsJoyce31202oh i didn't mean the literal stage in this instance. I mean more the figurative stage of Blackness. Everyone wants to dance and sing and be apart of it when it's good. The people who have opportunities to gatekeep Blackness require nothing of these people and will even make concessions for them in their antiblackness in the very same space of Blackness.
It’s time to start gatekeeping our own culture now f the past let’s work on the future now “Stop feeding into others and feed into ours” Time to pick a side
There are latinos that know what Juneteenth is.. There’s even a version of it celebrated by Native American Black folk in Mexico.. That discussion is about clout chasing, if you don’t even know what the events about, why get upset about not being represented ??! It’s Ignorance and a people thing.
Oh my God, I couldn’t even get past the first 2 minutes…. Ok LA Mexicans. I get it. I totally get it. You’re LA. I’m Cuban from Miami and I am as much Miami as you are LA. But if Trick Daddy wants to put on a Juneteenth show in the middle of Liberty City and show case the PorknBeans (IYKYK) I’m not going to be upset that he didn’t have any Cubans there. Some places are not for us, they are for the people of that community. They deserve their place! So get over it. Especially if you don’t even know what the holiday is for!! COME ON! At least do research before you embarrass yourself.
Those groups did not just stay home during the Civil Rights Movement. Their main advocacy organizations explicitly opposed the CRM. 🔸Dr Clifford Uyeda (Japanese Americans Citizens League) said that Japanese Americans had overcome far greater oppression that Black Americans while not committing as much Crime. He and his organization opposed the CRM. 🔸LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) opposed the CRM because they used Jim Crow laws to their advantage in court. The head of LULAC, Felix Tijerina, owned a restaurant in Houston. During the CRM he removed the "whites only" sign on the door and replaced it with a "No Blacks allowed" sign. 🔸In Oklahoma the Chickasaw Nation and Cherokee Nation both had Daughters Of The Confederacy chapters that supported the "Lost Cause Myth" and Jim Crow Fascism against Black Americans.
Thank You for this information!!! I didn't know that!!!! That will work against them in the future too when we sit at home while they're being deported or oppressed by Zaddy!!!
No more cookout invites. They went out of there way to be separated from us( awesome) even supporting policies to keep us down. But want to stand in our shine. We need to open our eyes and start gatekeeping again. Hell we don't even have r&b anymore
The entitlement was on full display. And then when he was called out for being wrong, his (non) apology was even worse. I don’t know who said this, they want your Rhythm but not your Blues. 😢
I never see us forcing ourselves in droves to get recognition in somebody else's cultural space like others do us and then shame/ gaslight us when we do try to gatekeep. Everybody feel entitled to eat off our plate
This is why I make sure to be clear that I solely rep for BLACK AMERICAN PEOPLE only. I don’t do the POC thing. Every single group does this to us for every single thing.
I’m so glad you mentioned the fact that they stand behind policies that disenfranchises their people as well as black people. They definitely do and that’s something I will never understand.
That hispanic politician kate sanchez has been opposing reparations in California. They do stuff like that, they do everything they can to deprive BLACK people of the things we deserve and yet they complain about not being invited to our events. The audacity and entitlement is crazy.
Cinco De Mayo, we don't say nothing. Yet these groups and demographics don't support Black issues or celebrations. I blame US for giving them residency over our Blackness.
I'ma say it again... Hispanic people, many being a 33-33-33% split (Euro-Afro-Native) jump in and out of racial issues like double-dutch. It's crazy passive aggressive. We just had AAPI month in L.A. I didn't see anyone complain about lack of representation..Cinco de Mayo...nothin'. Reminds me when I volunteered at the Zora Neale Hurston Fest in FL. I was confused because there were many seminars and vendors that were African. Even commentators asking how can Africans be more included in the Fest. It was... odd.
Now, that’s a whole other convo!! Even in these comments I see black folk who aren’t American including themselves in our struggle! WTF. We need to gatekeep OTHER black ppl, too! I’m over the way many African and Caribbean blacks look down on us as well.
@@DuskyJewelI've heard the disrespect from those Foreign Black groups in videos and in the comments too!!! How they gonna come to America and disrespect Americans!!! I've tried to correct some of them, but they're Not Sorry!!! And some have NEVER been to America and Still Diss Black Americans!!! It's crazy!!!
@@c4tmh133 Thank you for letting me know I’m not crazy!! I appreciate you taking time to back me up. NOW, everyone wanna be plain old, no-frills Black 🤨🤨! I’m Gen X and when I was young I jokingly called myself a homegrown negro because nobody wanted to be Black. They all talked about being from the Caribbean even though they were born in Brooklyn and ain’t never been to Trinidad or Jamaica or Haiti. Today, it Nigeria and Kenya etc. We need to gatekeep those other black people. They can stay over there and enjoy Black American culture from the outside. You think we ready for that conversation? You think these dual identity ninjas and ninjettes are ready?
Dr. Henrik Clarke had said many decades ago that we have no friends. That's why I hate when I see some of our folks still pining away for acceptance and allyship from outsiders. They still don't get it.
@@apexone5502or maybe they understand that to defeat WS all non-white people need to work together, and as imperfect as that might will benefit everyone. The WS have no problem using a non white face to push their agenda.
That whole, yeah Black people got massacred but shit happened to Mexicans... Miss me with that All Lives Matter type response. Imagine if there was a Cinco De Mayo Concert and a Mexican artist did a concert that featured only Mexican artists and some black person was mad we didn't get to be on stage... They would have to issue an apology to the Mexican Community the next day. From now on, we can have a group potluck but ain't no invites to the Cookout.
41 year old Black Chicago woman is missing from a Bahamas yoga retreat. The retreat/resort is in walking distance from Atlantis. Please spread the news and make everyone aware ❤ let’s find Taylor!
He thought Kendrick did victory laps on Drake in remembrance of the Tulsa massacre?! That would be weird AF and COMPLETELY change my opinion of Kendrick lolol.
Black Americans are the only group in America that have a legitimate right to have a sense of entitlement and we don’t. I hope we’re learning and making the necessary shifts based on what we’re learning. It’s time to set boundaries and begin to gatekeep everything that’s ours. Let’s stand in power as opposed to saying what we can’t have. We CAN have it ALL. If we demand and command it.
I knew as soon as I seen them make that crazy statement big bro Calvin was coming to gather the kids together. My family have been celebrating Juneteenth for decades this is exactly why I never wanted Juneteenth to become a national holiday because this is a day that celebrates the end of slavery for black people and I just knew people was going to get besides themselves and try to make our day about them. You don't see us asking to be a part of Cinco de Mayo because we respect peoples culture and history, but every time we create a movement or a day to pay tribute to our ancestors, celebrate our achievements, and express the daily struggle of what it's like to be black in this racist country somebody always got to try and dismiss our issues. Why would you be invited to Kendrick Lamars event that is about black history, culture, and Hip Hop. If y'all don't go and sweep hell and get up out our face.
Almost everything you just said, but making Juneteenth an official holiday is important. It is a way to recognise what America did - in a VERY small way - that is visible on an international stage. American 4th of July never made sense to me. But Juneteenth? Needs to be bigger than 4th of July because that was when AMERICANS were free.
I agree with you. Juneteenth was only made a holiday out of symbolism to fool some of into thinking they care. The irony is that there were many who were still enslaved in the country well after June 1865. So, I've always been torn on celebrating a day when all of us were not free.
It don't have to be Juneteenth, black folks don't owe nobody nothing.
Yo this is the ONE right here even if it wasn’t Juneteenth kdot or any black artist is not Obligated to have a non black person involved and the crazy part with all the racist shit that comes from Mexicans in southern California that none of these same people even speak about for them to have the mouth to say they should be a part of anything black folks do rap or otherwise is baffling to me

This is why we need to STOP SAYING "BLACK AND BROWN"!!!!
Exactly. That as well as "Black and LGBT," "Black and *insert other group politicians would rather help over us*."
That stuff is not organic. There weren't any grassroots involved. Their grassroots didn't sit at the table with our grassroots, come to some sort of solidarity, and then spread that info to each respective group. That coalition concept came from the top down via politicians and the mainstream media to make it seem as if we have the same struggles but in actuality it's for the politicians to really do more for the other groups while pretending to care about us.
There is no such thing as brown people. Latin America has white and black just like everywhere else. People try to minimize the issue by calling it colorism. It's really not. There are 23 countries in Latin America and each one has a distinct racial history.

They know we are not racist.We are too kind.People take advantage of good people.
Ever!!
The crazy part is this was exactly Kendrick’s criticisms of Drake .
Exactly! And it's something I noticed during this whole beef. Other communities were routinely misinterpreting Kendrick's lyrics. They had no idea what they were talking about.
Exactly!!!!!
And yet they still missed it! It's unbelievable àtp!!
Yes!
This is why they don't get a seat at our table, they don't even understand the nuances of our culture or language spoken and unspoken.
They can't even explain what juneteenth is but want to complain about black people, this is why we should have been gatekeeping hip-hop because people like this think they are a part of it.
It’s our nature to be welcoming but it’s constantly been a danger to us. Guests in the culture should conduct themselves as such. Unfortunately they get too comfortable and disrespectful until checked. Like BBL drizzy.
@gracebayclt5511 it's a gift and a curse because no other group does this. You are not going to see black people except in Asian, Indian, white, or Latino culture. Hell, every one I named has black people there they don't even like who've been there for centuries.
@gracebayclt5511 Even that first statement makes me cringe a bit, our people aren't "welcoming by nature", but have been beat and bred into cultural submission. I'm not just talking about slavery but in every day discussion where black ppl "don't own anything" and so aren't allowed to gatekeep, but other groups are applauded for protecting their cultural markers. Just my 2 cents
Exactly. I’m tired of them thinking they have a say about what goes on in our culture, disrespect us and take our culture.
And this chick Valentina Gomez saying that Juneteenth is ratchet and if black people don't like America, GTFO is what the brown Karen said and never ever hear a black person said anything about hating America, America just got problems and Valentina needs to get the hell out of dodge with that bull ish.
Black folks start OscarsSoWhite and then John Leguizamo starts complaining about Hispanics not winning enough Oscars. It's almost like they don't know what to fight for until we start fighting for it.
They did the same with BLM in 2020
I’m an Afro-Mexican American and have seen no short supply of my Mexican brothers and sisters appropriate black culture and use the N-word, but always have complaints when black folks get good things. Btw, Mexican-Americans are White on paper even if not culturally. There are advantages to that that they deny having.
What does this mean? You’re black American and Mexican biracial or an African descendant Mexican???
@@UniversityofuncommonsenseIt can get complicated at least for most Americans. First off you have to be able to differentiate between race, nationality, and ethnicity. Those are 3 of a number of different categories and many of us from foreign countries self identity with several. Here this person is identifying racially( Afro) which indicates they are of African descent and nationality or culturally( Mexican - American ) .
Teach!
@@el-Cu9432Nailed it. My mother is listed as white for race on my bc, and Mexican for nationality. I'm in my 40s so I don't know how it is done now.
@@janinefrancis2989 They already know I'm going to make them look silly when I call them on it and inform them correctly.
They're jealous of the attention black people receive in this country. They want their name out front, they want the glory but they don't want the negativity we face.
BINGO
You're right 👍🏿👍🏿they wanna ride our coat tails but don't want to do the work to up lift their own ppl. Not like us!!!!!! This wasn't for mexicans or latins, but celebrating Juneteenth!!!!!!
Period!!!
They uphold the discrimination we face most times.
The attention black people receive? From what, being over policed? From being 13% of the US population but about half of the prison population? The attention from racists who police our hair and our bodies? Attention from who? Not politicians because they don't do a damn thing for us.
Or do you mean they're jealous of the attention that black rappers and pro athletes get as celebrities and trendsetters?
Imagine if black people ever about to get reperations, the amount of lawsuits and crying from other groups that will come out in droves
And the denials from our end would be up there too. Just like how they deny our claims
That's more than likely why we haven't received it. It'll be an uproar
Did you see HBO’s Watchmen? There’s a reason why it didn’t get a second season. Because what whites did in that show in response to us getting reparations was too real.
This will happen for sure
People will be getting genetic testing left and right to prove their great 1000x removed is Black 🙄
@@cosmicbeauty5682 right you already had the lawsuit against the fearless fund and won in court using a civil right law created to protect us smh
The entitlement is real. Other POC expect us to always carry them along and do all of the heavy lifting. We’re done with that.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
So glad we are waking up!!!
PREACH
And that's why it's dangerous to call yourself a poc. You should be identifying as black! So that you're not mixed in the pot with everyone else. And that is also a reason why it's so easy for other demographics of brown people to climb on our backs when we're fighting for the things that WE need. Just as this young man is saying
Thn sit bk and get quiet when the media paint us as rowdy criminals while we're fighting for basic human rights.
And this is another reason why I’ve never bought into “Black and brown unity” or “people of color”.

I’m a white Canadian… that clip in the beginning…. I’m speechless. American education is crazy lacking, like this is unbelievable
The fact he didn't stop to take a few seconds to look up Juneteenth on his phone, but say you don't want to be wrong is the bs I can't skip past.
He couldn’t be bothered
Exactly, he didn't CARE to know! His whole agenda is to co-op OUR ish every chance he gets!
A simple Google search would have sufficed. What a 🤡
I'm mad about the same thing. You need to understand the culture you want to be a part of.
Right
There’s cookouts and then there’s family reunions. This was a family reunion…somebody tell them.
@@leilac6970 you ain’t lying!
I loved the pop out. Kendrick Lamar did everything right Juneteenth in my eyes. When the Mexicans have their celebration, commemoration, whatever they put together and do, blacks will not expect a spot on stage and rightfully so.
Heck. Most blacks have no interest in hispanics in general. I wish Telemundo would educate them.
Black AMERICANS will not expect a spot on their stage but Black MEXICANS can expect a spot & go on their stage. Truth is, Mexico only recently acknowledged Black Mexicans, who have lived there for Centuries, even existed.
👍
Agreed
Our Celebration Is Not Their Celebration..Vice Versa
As an African who has never been to the USA and has witnessed the greatness bestowed upon my African American brothers and sisters I can confirm that jealousy of your culture, your impact on the world and your popularity on the world stage is awesome and unfortunately you have no idea how big you are. Personally I am proud of you and am also proud of my people for fighting apartheid and we continue to fight neocolonialism.
I love your words. I feel that black Americans don't truly know their impact. I am proud of you brothers and sisters who are fighting apartheid. Love you from far away God bless.
"There's not enough Tabitha Brown or Patti LaBelle products in this Mexican grocery store!" "There's not enough box braids on these salsa dancers!" "There's not enough Spike Lee movies on Telemundo!" 😆

mans didnt even know what juneteenth is but he wanna have an opinion
And it is this ignorance that is at this foundation of the problem. They appear to think that Juneteenth is like Cinco de Mayo rather than one that has a solemn undertone.
Thank you ! Somebody said it ! I cringe so hard every time I hear “hood” Latinos talking amongst themselves dropping the N word like nothing . Like for real !? It’s crazy ! That’s why I don’t like anyone saying it , because they get comfortable in spaces where black people say it and since they don’t check them , then they think “oh it’s cool now so I can say it too” .
💯✅
Why do we say it. We disrespect each other all the day long with the word are we ignorant unlearned boisterous if we are not let’s stop referring this word to each other in public places and in the music. We act as though it is cool to call each other the N word.
I fully support your rant. I'm black but not Black American. It's not possible to be apart of every space. Allow people to have their spaces
Not off FBA backs, AGAIN. Nah
If you’re not black American you’re not black, you’re whatever ethnicity/ country your parents are from. Stop with the flat blackness. Race is a social construct
She's literally supporting the video. What's your rant about?@ou8r122
"I'm not trynna make it go racial"
*proceeds with ignorance*
This wasn't about celebrating LA culture or Mexican culture.
I honestly didn't expect the Edgar's to complain about K Dot's concert.
Oh, when he said that, my immediate response was, "TOO LATE!"
Full cap. He jumped out the window on there not being enough Mexicans in the lineup. Racial was his starting point.
And the LA culture they speak about is just black culture that they borrowed from us
Once you drop that phrase. . ?
You're outta pocket.🤷🏾♂️
You'd think he would get that intrinsically. . .🤦🏾♂️
Who tf is an Edgar. U Trayvons don’t even know wtf an Edgar is but use it.
Other folks are getting mad because we as a community are starting to go hard at gatekeeping our culture better
That's the Plan. No one comes to assist us when we cry about the injustices we suffer as a community. It is past time for us to do us
💯💯💯
That part! And I pray we continue!!
They Goggle all the stupid stuff…But never goggle what’s important!
Big Facts! 👏🏾
Juneteenth is a black ommunity event. If you weren't invited to the barbecue, don't expect to eat.
🔥🎯🎯🎯
Imagine the Easter Bunny complaining about being under represented during Christmas.
How do you want representation at an event and you don’t even know what the event is about!? 🤨
It’s an event…an opportunity to be seen, in this case without having to do anything to bring it off.
@@tonyjones1560What are you talking about?
@@rhaporrumpunch Think about it…Kendrick Lamar is a pretty big star, right? Attention flows where he goes, and there’s potentially money to be made. These folks wanted to get paid, didn’t get it like they felt they deserved it, and now the sense of entitlement is bruised. That these dudes could go on a podcast and whine like this about being “underrepresented” at an historical commemoration that they clearly knew or cared nothing about speaks volumes: “How dare y’all make a move without clearing it through us?”
Hopefully, I make more sense now?
I blame us... Unfortunately. We spent so long trying to have "friends" and including everyone in everything we have, now everyone else feels entitled to what we have and do.
Exactly!
We do have friends and we’re going to have friends because that’s who we are. That being said, friends should show themselves friendly, at least learn about the origins of your friends celebration. Learn the context, after all when you come to the cookout you’re going to have ribs, potato salad greens etc. because it’s our cookout. Please don’t expect tortillas, rice, beans etc. just as when we come to your fiesta we don’t come looking for greens and potato salad. Explain it like that!
@@deloresmatt8643 you're speaking on an individual level. As a whole, we have no friends. The black folks of those other cultures get the same low class treatment we get here. What makes you think the same groups who mistreat their own black citizens are happy to be our friends? On an individual level, yeah, you have individuals from other groups who are friends, but as a whole, no, their people are not as accepting of us.
@@apexone5502 I suspect previous generations who had it harder or were witnesses to the hardships did not teach new generations what that statement means. I see so many comments from people who use their personal relationships to invalidate the argument.Others are confused by the meaning. I don't know why these conversations are not mandatory in all households.
Yes❤❤❤
The funny thing is that there ARE Mexicans who celebrate Juneteenth... But they're a group that lives along the U.S./Mexican border called the Mascagos who are the descendants of Black Seminoles who left Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) to evade persecution. Part of them live in Texas and part of them live in Mexico and they speak English, Spanish, and a dialect of Muscogee (Creek)... But I doubt they want to be represented by Afro-Mexicanos (since they hardly acknowledge the black Mexicans in Guerrero, Oaxaca, and Veracruz)...
Yep!
That part!
DrextheJoint is a black Mexican rapper from Guerrero
Thank you for sharing this piece of history 💯
Mexican is not a race. There are black Mexicans in Mexico, but they don't claim them.
Imagine wanting Mexican representation at a Juneteenth event and you as a Mexican don't know what Juneteenth is, and don't have enough respect for black people to look it up. He is an embarrassment to his people🤦🏾♀️
Aa soon as he voiced his confusion about Juneteenth and then continued to be soooo wrong, I said "Just stop talking! You are complaining about something you didn't even take the time to understand.
Shows how disrespectful he is of the culture when he wants in on a holiday he didn't even have enough care to research on.
That's akin to him saying 'Eff your culture, eff the meaning of your holiday and eff what said holiday means to you, we want in and we want the focus on us!'
Simply spoken another way.....they jealous

OMG! Jennifer Lopez did the same thing.
She was present at a women’s conference for women of color. Groups present were, Black women, Latinas, Native American, and Asian America/Pacific Islander women. There were speeches and presentations. Each group had their TURN, their TIME. When it was the Black Women’s time, Goldman Sachs took that opportunity to present their donation of over $10 million dollars to foundations and organizations dedicated to empower black women. And Lopez basically hijacked the moment and interjected questioning and making demands of inclusion for Latinas. She may not have meant it the way it came across, but her statements seemed to imply that Latinas were more deserving of the donation.
No one interjected / disrupted any other group’s time. But from obvious jealousy or some crap, she felt she had to interject about this gift from Goldman Sachs to the black women collective practically bashing them for giving the money to black women and not including Latinas.
Even if she wanted to confront them about it, WAIT until the end and present her case. She totally monopolized the time and took that moment from black women.
Goldman Sachs is a multi billion dollar mega corporation who can give their money to whoever they want to. And if they had any plans in the future to donate money to the Latina women collective, she may have killed it by hijacking their presentation and bashing them in an attempt to call them out by trying to tell them what to do with their money.
At the end of the day, another multibillion dollar corporation ended up matching Goldman Sachs’ donation to the black women collective. I don’t know, but who knows that last minute donation match may have probably been for the Latina collective. But after her interference, the Ford Foundation decided to give it to black women.
*10 billion
She's been tacky, tasteless and anti-black for a long time. Remember when she bogarted her way into a BET celebration of blk achievements. Every community keeps ws alive in their own way. Clock it and move accordingly.
Jennifer Lopez??? “Mi gente latino” Jennifer Lopez? She should immerse herself in her own language and culture before she speaks lol
Exactly! After the Wayans and Livin Color put Jennifer and Others 'on'...How often do Puerto Ricans and Other hispanics put BlackAmericanDOS 'ON'? ✊🏿💯✊🏿
She getting her well deserved Ls rn don't worry 😅
It's sad that people want access to BP and want to be invited to the cookout until it's time to fight for justice or simply respect and understand our culture. "They not like us." We are minding our business and it's never enough. Smh

Mexicans are getting too emboldened in the country. We had Valentina Gomez, running for Missouri Secretary of State talking nonsense about blacks and reparations.
FTR, that woman is from Colombia not Mexico but that’s a minor detail. Your point is 100% valid. She neither knows nor cares that without the *BLACK* civil rights movement, she might never have been able to come here. The immigration quotas from everywhere else except for Europe were extremely limited, and even then, Northern and Western European countries got “dibs” in that order…

None of the hosts looked up Juneteenth online for clarification and he just kept going with a false narrative. What a shock.
Much like drake went on a tirade in the shart part 6 with his misinterpretation and false narrative of kendrick’s childhood

It’s actually pretty pathetic to not see the solidarity shared between different minority groups that have helped to facilitate progress but if you want to pretend that never existed you’re only displaying your own ignorance of history
🎯🎯🎯
You're not serious are you? You sound so fucking ignorant of your own history if you believe the BS you just wrote. Pathetic!
A lot of what people refer to as “gatekeeping” is really just having boundaries.
I wholeheartedly agree that black americans need to gatekeep our culture more than we do. Sucks that so many see that as negative or divisive when it's actually quite necessary.
I'm no longer giving credit to the collective because a few of their individuals showed up. You did nothing for it, so you get nothing from it.
Never apologize for taking it there.
It'll never be too deep Calvin. If we kept the standards deep and intelligent maybe gatekeeping would come easier. Instead we have superficial "yes men" at the entrance letting everyone dance on stage.
Even while letting everyone dance they can't control everyone's actions. How come this man is the only Mexican to show up? There weren't more? I assume they knew better than he and didn't show up. He only spoke about himself. So if people showed up to dance on stage and he's the only one then that's it. I am still not sure how (in what way) he wanted to be included. He was included as much as he could be, no more, no less.
@@MsJoyce31202He should have read the room ( on stage) & DECLINED the invite to take to the stage with the FBA’s…

@@MsJoyce31202oh i didn't mean the literal stage in this instance. I mean more the figurative stage of Blackness. Everyone wants to dance and sing and be apart of it when it's good.

The ignorance is prevalent in this land!
It's not ignorance, it's really Hatred, IMO
There are latinos that know what Juneteenth is.. There’s even a version of it celebrated by Native American Black folk in Mexico.. That discussion is about clout chasing, if you don’t even know what the events about, why get upset about not being represented ??! It’s Ignorance and a people thing.
Oh my God, I couldn’t even get past the first 2 minutes…. Ok LA Mexicans. I get it. I totally get it. You’re LA. I’m Cuban from Miami and I am as much Miami as you are LA. But if Trick Daddy wants to put on a Juneteenth show in the middle of Liberty City and show case the PorknBeans (IYKYK) I’m not going to be upset that he didn’t have any Cubans there. Some places are not for us, they are for the people of that community. They deserve their place! So get over it. Especially if you don’t even know what the holiday is for!! COME ON! At least do research before you embarrass yourself.
Those groups did not just stay home during the Civil Rights Movement. Their main advocacy organizations explicitly opposed the CRM.
🔸Dr Clifford Uyeda (Japanese Americans Citizens League) said that Japanese Americans had overcome far greater oppression that Black Americans while not committing as much Crime. He and his organization opposed the CRM.
🔸LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) opposed the CRM because they used Jim Crow laws to their advantage in court. The head of LULAC, Felix Tijerina, owned a restaurant in Houston. During the CRM he removed the "whites only" sign on the door and replaced it with a "No Blacks allowed" sign.
🔸In Oklahoma the Chickasaw Nation and Cherokee Nation both had Daughters Of The Confederacy chapters that supported the "Lost Cause Myth" and Jim Crow Fascism against Black Americans.
Thank You for this information!!! I didn't know that!!!! That will work against them in the future too when we sit at home while they're being deported or oppressed by Zaddy!!!

No more cookout invites. They went out of there way to be separated from us( awesome) even supporting policies to keep us down. But want to stand in our shine. We need to open our eyes and start gatekeeping again. Hell we don't even have r&b anymore
The CONSTANT false equivalency that goes on around slavery just irks my soul. Indeed, we are not the same.

The entitlement was on full display. And then when he was called out for being wrong, his (non) apology was even worse. I don’t know who said this, they want your Rhythm but not your Blues. 😢
I never see us forcing ourselves in droves to get recognition in somebody else's cultural space like others do us and then shame/ gaslight us when we do try to gatekeep. Everybody feel entitled to eat off our plate
This is why I make sure to be clear that I solely rep for BLACK AMERICAN PEOPLE only. I don’t do the POC thing. Every single group does this to us for every single thing.
I'm from Compton and live in California, unfortunately this is not a surprise. Ridiculous!!😬
I’m so glad you mentioned the fact that they stand behind policies that disenfranchises their people as well as black people. They definitely do and that’s something I will never understand.
They'll vote this November to be deported back to Mexico too!!! Watch!!! They love Zaddy that Much!!! 😂
That hispanic politician kate sanchez has been opposing reparations in California. They do stuff like that, they do everything they can to deprive BLACK people of the things we deserve and yet they complain about not being invited to our events. The audacity and entitlement is crazy.

I'ma say it again... Hispanic people, many being a 33-33-33% split (Euro-Afro-Native) jump in and out of racial issues like double-dutch. It's crazy passive aggressive. We just had AAPI month in L.A. I didn't see anyone complain about lack of representation..Cinco de Mayo...nothin'. Reminds me when I volunteered at the Zora Neale Hurston Fest in FL. I was confused because there were many seminars and vendors that were African. Even commentators asking how can Africans be more included in the Fest. It was... odd.
Now, that’s a whole other convo!! Even in these comments I see black folk who aren’t American including themselves in our struggle! WTF. We need to gatekeep OTHER black ppl, too! I’m over the way many African and Caribbean blacks look down on us as well.

Black Americans are the only group in America that have a legitimate right to have a sense of entitlement and we don’t. I hope we’re learning and making the necessary shifts based on what we’re learning. It’s time to set boundaries and begin to gatekeep everything that’s ours. Let’s stand in power as opposed to saying what we can’t have. We CAN have it ALL. If we demand and command it.
It’s not about entitlements it’s about culture who we are and no one can take from that
NOT A GIVE ME SYSTEM YOU HAVE TO LOVE THE CULTURE UNDERSTAND ITS ORGINS
Do we demand that we are apart of their holidays? And they don’t even know what Juneteenth is. They sound freaking ridiculous!!!!
I knew as soon as I seen them make that crazy statement big bro Calvin was coming to gather the kids together. My family have been celebrating Juneteenth for decades this is exactly why I never wanted Juneteenth to become a national holiday because this is a day that celebrates the end of slavery for black people and I just knew people was going to get besides themselves and try to make our day about them. You don't see us asking to be a part of Cinco de Mayo because we respect peoples culture and history, but every time we create a movement or a day to pay tribute to our ancestors, celebrate our achievements, and express the daily struggle of what it's like to be black in this racist country somebody always got to try and dismiss our issues. Why would you be invited to Kendrick Lamars event that is about black history, culture, and Hip Hop. If y'all don't go and sweep hell and get up out our face.
Almost everything you just said, but making Juneteenth an official holiday is important. It is a way to recognise what America did - in a VERY small way - that is visible on an international stage.
American 4th of July never made sense to me. But Juneteenth? Needs to be bigger than 4th of July because that was when AMERICANS were free.
Exactly, all they care about is since it is a federal holiday will they get paid for it.
I agree with you. Juneteenth was only made a holiday out of symbolism to fool some of into thinking they care. The irony is that there were many who were still enslaved in the country well after June 1865. So, I've always been torn on celebrating a day when all of us were not free.
1865 was TX. 1863 was official. Let's not go deep in the mud at this point for the sake of stalling the ✅ any more.
Juneteenth as a Federal Holiday is the slow walk that cash Reparations are near. imo
