Part 1: • Bill Duke Tells a Joke...
----------------
Bill Duke spoke to VladTV about witnessing the progression in society since the 1940s and realizing that integration brought more freedoms and access to black people, but he added that there was never an economic integration. During the conversation, Bill Duke also stated that he wanted the 40 acres and a mule that President Lincoln promised, and he went on to speak about the division of races in society today.
Elsewhere in the clip, he also opens up about how his commitment to his career kept him from having children, noting that parenting is not actually about 'having' children, as opposed to being about fathering, mothering, and providing. Additionally, Duke notes that the racism he faced over his dark complexion had at times led him to not want to be a father, as he points out that dark skin has universally been discriminated against around the globe. - Розваги
THIS IS why Malcolm X and Elijah Muhammad went hard during those days because they know how damaged our mindsets were then. "Who taught you to hate yourselves".

moomoo hakim: Facts, it's just sad.
Elijah is a fraud 🤦🏽♀️🤣
*LaDY* *L0VE* and who taught Malcolm?
Bill Duke was a very nice man that I had the pleasure of knowing. He was our neighbor “Cloverdale.” I remember when he told me that I should consider becoming a Model😌 Never once did I think that I was Model material. He boost my self esteem and did not know it. I watch this man on Television and read about his success, never once knew what a successful Man he would become. Never once did Mr. Bill Duke know, those words he spoke to me was an encouragement and motivational words that help shape me into the young lady that I was, that lead to A Mature, Successful and Productive Woman that I am Today. Thanks Mr. Duke ❤️
One ☝🏽 Love 🌹
Sherrie Williams awww that was beautiful 🥰
Yes, me and Billy were close as well. He was a pleasant man, very well mannered and uplifting. Always giving out loose compliments and helping the community. He was a near perfect citizen, until he got drunk. We were participants of anti neo nazi raids together, as well as several bar brawls. Yes I remember William quite well, this man was the epitome of a hell raiser. Fun as hell to be around might I add. We go on those raids dressed in black with metal baseball bats, and any fuckin known racist would have to be dealt with.
Bill Duke was laughing at 3:50
Thats so awesome....❤
Why did you use past tense? Bill Duke is still alive. Gave me a scare!
I was the darkest member of my family. I was often reminded of that by them. Colorism leaves wounds just as deep as racism. All pain hurts.
I know that pain well
Rejection, registers the same as physical pain in the brain and nervous system.
@@citizenjournalist2401 wow
Its worse, because these are the people you look to for love and support.
Cut that shit I’m darkest one in my family and they let me know that it don’t bother me we all have a life to live I’m still sexy af in my skin y’all have to get out of your self conscious and live
I carry a guilt inside of my soul because yearrrs ago in my late teens, a friend of mine who was very dark skin, was dumped by a really gorgeous guy whose skin was also extremely dark. He just up and dropped her for what we assumed was no reason. He confessed to me when I ran into him some time later that he only let my friend go because he was falling in love with her. He was afraid that they would "fuck around and have a Black ass baby." She and I are still very close to this day but I never revealed that bit of info to her. I always thought that it would break her heart.
This is so sad. Most black folks don't even realize that the most radical action we as a people can perform in this society is to love ourselves. I've never thought white folks' ice cubes were colder - I've said this to my white friends - and I never will. I refuse to hate myself. I have better things to do with my time.
COLD COUCH CHRONICLES he dead wrong😭😭🤦🏾♂️
COLD COUCH CHRONICLES and they cry when dark skin women marry white men 🙄
That was being a good friend, she might not have been able to handle it then.I had to learn to love my skin.We really hurt each other with this self hate.
Wow you’re a dick
Being a dark skin men ain’t easy when u getting bashed by your own people
Mongoose Boyz man🤦🏾♂️but fuck it we still shinin 🤩
Dark skin black dudes say harsh things to each other all the time. It's insecurity. Those same guys would hate being lighter also.
Mongoose Boyz that shit is racial self sabotage. Shoot our own race in the foot and then blame white people
Self esteem...the mixed bby gone b embarrassed to have a blackass daddy...
Black is beautiful and fl sun cooks everybdy 2 to 3 shades darker
Dark skinned women have it much, much worse
That’s so sad to not have kids out of fear of them being discriminated against 😩🤦🏽♂️.
Maybe sad but somewhat courageous because he was cognizant about having a child & not being able to take care of them financially or more importantly--emotionally.

I'm a dark skinned man and I've learned to love my skin and I look at it as a source of strength. The media has made it to represent "toxic masculinity" and violence.
@Ebony and Ivan Not true. I actually have never been violent to people my complection. I would however go out of my way to be aggressive towards lighter skinned people.

rrosen85 lmaooo
The man old AF.
🤣🤣🤣
It matters, it goes to show he's lived and seen the progression of American against Black people and, while some things have changed, we are still having the same issues with race so many years later. It's also of critical importance because too many of our youth don't listen to the elders, who have been through it. Maybe if we did, we wouldn't hate our own, we'd leave that colorism bullshit aside and unite together and try to get shit done so we can, maybe one day, drastically reduce, if not eliminate, racism.

Bill Duke always looks so sad. He's been through & seen some shit I'm sure. 😟😟😟
He most likely wanted children but chose not to because of what hes gone through because of his skin.
He just has sleepy eyes
@@breeg2331 Yeah, it is the sleepy eyes

@@Elocapone I agree with you
We get mad over a racist comment on social media in these modern times. Black people from Bill's era and before went through pure hell
So true.
Facts
I disagree. All of my grandfathers are dark skinned and they had trouble keeping all kinds of women away.
He's a very articulate man.
He's a big man in stature but talks very calm, unimposing.
Vlad does not interrupt as much. Even he was just listening to the man.
Exactly, I agree.
it seems that nearly all big men are easy going like that... I think its cuz they're confident whereas it seems that the ones always acting tough etc are less secure because they're small.. listen to rappers and which ones are the ones making the most gun threats and which ones are talking more about having sex and basically enjoying life...
@@mikesuniverse1789
I so agree with you. I find Bill Duke fascinating, his talent, intelligence, heart, and bravery all valuable nuggets that have led me to admire this good man.
There is a story he tells relating to his childhood, he was ostracized by whites because of his dark complexion, a skin color which I believe to be absolutely beautiful. Well, one day, he comes home from school and in his mind, he thought he could drink bleach and his dark skin would change. Fortunately, his mom caught him before he could drink any. My heart was absolutely broken for him, as a mother, I would have been furious at the white people who made this kid feel this way. But, the lesson learned is how deeply scarred a Black person can become from this grotesque hatred, how this admonishment of skin color follows generations, this is how colorism was ingrained in some Blacks. But, I love dark skin, always have and always will.
I love this man because he's a thinker, I'd love to meet him.
@@gorgeousg8704 yeah me too im light skinned and have always generally regarded dark skin as desirable if not superior.. as I got older and embraced my own complexion and identity I value it however I do recognize the great value in dark skin for basically the power of its concentrated melanin...
I remember many scenes of 'black' people who themselves were quite dark compared to me, cruelly making 'fun' of a dark skinned person for merely being darker than them...
it infuriates me every time not only for the cruelty towards the dark skinned person but for the abject IGNORANCE of it... that it can be so insidious and widespread that the haranguing can go on and on relentlessly because its such an accepted way to view dark skinned people .... almost as if they either aren't worth being considerate of or that they are obliged to become thickskinned enough to tolerate this colorist treatment ....
its deep...
@@mikesuniverse1789
Great comment, so wise. You are African? I'm a Somalian. I, too, had to learn to embrace my skin color, there are a lot of fair-skinned in my family. I pray for the day we as Black people can get past this type of ignorance. God bless.
His mind works like a well oiled machine... For his age that’s a blessing 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
Dark complexion is so pretty... Blemish free, smooth skin.

It also doesn't show age and wrinkles unlike very pale skin.

Doesn't look a day over 71. Seriously though Bill Duke is a great actor and a brilliant human being.
That's really sad to hear that he didn't have kids because he didn't want them to have endure the stigma of being dark-skinned in America.
The first man god created was probable half white half black with a tint of yellow and red and eyes little slanted and a button nose😏
I love a tall, dark-skinned man and I'm very fair and with light complexion.. Salute to my black brothers.
insecurity nah vlad, it's good old colonialism. it's all over the world.
including half the of the brothers n sisters appearing on vlad tv as a platform dang its all we got left after the greco communist cival war something my pops raised me against vlads kind of people since vlad made tv do we ever see any of these performers do anything any more other than turn whiter image wize shaving off their id n wearing fashionble lookin school clothes
Seeing light skin as feminine and valuable for women existed around the world well before contact with europeans
*edit for the dumbdumbs:* I mean cmon niggas even sit around making "light skin people is soft, dark skin people is tough" jokes. Who told y'all to do that? Why do you automatically associate fair skin with femininity? 🤔
Bill Duke was laughing at 3:50
@James Demouchet i try 😉
Yes but more Important it the propaganda of the black people in America and how people of all races assume we are simply based on how the Europeans portrayed us to be
So sad that dark skinned people speak against their own skin. I love my dark skin.
Tbaby E. Me too
I really hate hearing it. Just crazy how black people think. You can be pretty or ugly and skin color doesn't have anything to do with it. Seen some beautiful dark people and beautiful light people, skin is just skin
Right
@@erickanew it's the treatment darker skin people overall get treated like 💩
As a light skin brother who was raised in black community where I was the closest thing to non black at most my schools ... I can say a lot on this subject. I’ve watched for years and still do today see dark skin brothers carrying so much self hatred for their complexion and features. I be so hurt for them cuz I’ve read so much about melanin and carbon and it’s cosmic connection to the sun and dark matter etc etc etc. And I know the system way too deep to just walk up to some of them and tell em that and expect them to wake up. This shit systematic and the ironic part is when they try come for me cuz I’m light skin and they have they own preconditions about me. It’s almost like Mind control in a sense
LOL is this the first time we have a callback video WITHIN a call back video?
Mr. Duke is a wealth of knowledge soft spoken humble he’s someone I admire no doubt
Yes I could listen to him all day, he's the best.
Look for his interview on 'Film Courage' channel, you'll love the wisdom
Alexander Martinez ok , he is still someone that I would like to know more about he has been around a long time
Yesss.
This is deep, yet sad.
Having darker skin is a blessing not a curse it pains me to see so many of my people insecure about how their skin tone is. We are all beautiful people and may The Most High continue to bless y’all 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The point went over your head.
Dark skinned women will rise watch. Not because of pride but because of rare. The girl in the video that Vlad showed was drop dead Gorgeous

@@m.d.5050 But at what point does one take responsibility and rise above the negative brainwashing? As a dark skin woman, I surround myself with positive images of other dark skin women and embrace and love myself.
I have never wanted lighter skin and never envied anyone. I focus on myself and ensure that I nourish myself with the best foods, freshest water and I get plenty of sleep and exercise to enhance my natural beauty. If more black people did this, and stopped allowing white people to define our value, more black people would be better equipped to have high value and high self esteem.
@@sashacooke263 I really admire you for this. Heck we all wanted to be light skinned when we were kids to get the attention from this opposite sex.

At least he’s honest most dark blk men act like it doesn’t exist
I think it's generational...I'm a black skinned man with a black skinned woman...I never really thought about it. I think it's only a current issue for some black ladies
@James Demouchet Why do people constantly try to push the light skin babies onto black women? I'm dark skin and my preference was to have a child like me. I never set out to have a light skin or mixed race child. I think it's far more common for black males to select mates based on skin color, because it's actually black men that marry and date out more and black men who usually create biracial children.
@@MrKmyers5 If you think that check out the Bill Duke produced film "Dark Girls"
www.imdb.com/title/tt1966396/?ref_=nm_flmg_prd_10
It's a good docu that covers part of the topic. It brought up some questions that I wished they would've also gotten into. Bill Duke brings up one of the people featured in the movie when he talks about a man saying that a dark skinned girl doesn't look good on his arm.
But there was also another male that answered the same question and he he didn't answer that he doesn't because of looks. He said dark skinned girls are mean. And that's one of the things that are skinned in the film that I wished they went into. How black people take on behaviors and attitudes because of how they thing black people are supposed to act based on how light or dark they are.
@*kyla* strawberry I am terribly sorry u have gone thru that....but I stand by my statement being dark is typically an issue for black women not black men (as males I think we have accepted it in our culture). I mean we dark men may have issues with the law, even our own women, but generally speaking most dark men don't have confidence issues within ourselves
@Ebony and Ivan I think this is a narrative that is really easy to accept but not necessarily true

Like a kilo of cocaine 😂😂😂
More like confetti.
Daniel X facts 💯💯💯🤷🏽♀️😹
He think he slick, he makes more money breaking it up instead of 1 full interview based on the views.
I feel Bill Duke on many levels.
I went through hell during the 70s growing up in LA a very dark skinned African looking child, probably twice as dark as I am now. Not only did I catch hell in the streets, from kids at schools, teachers, relatives, but even my own mother told me at 12 that I should not try to talk to good lookin girls because they would only want someone who looked like me if I was a rich ball player. I can only hope that things are different for kids growing up today, but it’s laughable to me when people compare what light skinned blacks experience with what dark skinned blacks experience. I’m sure that light skinned people catch hell growing up but at some point they realize that the hell they caught was due to envy and jealousy. At the end of the day when they live the rest of their lives, they will not be looked at as less attractive or less intelligent or less human the way darker skinned people are in every culture and every race.
I can give a damn about what another person thinks about my skin! Its me and apart of who I am and I wouldn't trade it for the world. We done let the colonizers brains wash us

That's so sad he probably would have been a great father. This was a painful video. I am not dark skinned, but this was still very painful to watch.
It made me feel some of kind also
I hate the term “good hair” also
My mama taught me that there is no such thing as good hair just different textures...."Good Hair" is an ignorant term and I check Black folks when I hear them use the term.
Yeah right because the barber 💈 sweeps all that shit up and throws it in the trash....
Me too
Different textures of hair is the better term. 💯
I am one of those that hears "oh, you have that good hair", quite a bit. Once they see the look I give them after they say that to me, they IMMEDIATELY back off and ask, "What??? Did I say something wrong?" Lol! I HATE hearing that shit!! But I have had many great conversations about the term afterwards! Some do not understand why I am not receptive to their so-called "compliment", but most do get it. I'm fine with that!

Makes me kinda wish Trump stays in office to make to keep the energy in this movement going because we aren't where we need to be. We got to get more ppl on board the financial and group economic parts of it.
We don't need love from other races if they continue to back stab us and humiliate our the ones that fell under unfortunate circumstances. We just want to stay safe and alone. That's it!!!

No, it’s not a fad Brother. It’s Biblical Prophesy!! Fads have changed throughout the years, the Word has not. Yah is true today, yesterday, tomorrow and forever!!! The awakening of His True Chosen People is happening....Stand up!!✊🏾
im lightskin man i love dark chocolate girls lightskin i love women period
Women can't love you for you but they can love you if you can give them stuff
That's interesting you've met every one of them
Congrats, you are a true activist
Powerful interview
This also happened in my family when we were growing up. Some relatives treated us differently because we were darker than some of our cousins even though my Grandfather was a dark man. He was enraged when he found that some of his own children (my aunts who were fairer complected) treated us badly because of our complexion. I witnessed him cry as he walked with us to calm himself down. I was more hurt seeing him cry than my own pain of being treated badly by those who were supposed to love us. I guess that's why I was always so close to him because I know without any doubt that he truly loved us all despite our complexion. Shout outs to VLAD and Bill Duke!
Crazy hearing Bill Duke speak on his experiences and then seeing him watch the young rapper echo the same sentiments but in a much less
eloquent way. Anti black propaganda has really done a number. This is why knowledge of self is so essential. Turn those radios and TVs off sometimes, and pick up some books.
Exactly!
I feel this on a spiritual level my G. I’m also very dark and throughout my school days my self esteem was nowhere to be seen bro, but until you learn to love and embrace that melanin you’ll forever be affected by negativity...I actually wouldn’t hv this any other way
I have always liked him as an actor. Listening to him talk he is definitely my kind of people. Upmost respect.
Damn, a flashback in a flashback. Vlad on his edit game bag.😃
Loll
Niggaz looking at me like i made it!!!!!
Unprecedented! We have witnessed history.
LoL right
Inception
humanity takes skin color so seriously. its sad man
Self Made - Yep. And on top of that-they are not “white” at all.
Self Made Whites weren’t the first to do it the Arabs people from India Middle East did
@@otinfasenntao4384 Arabs from India? are you high?
liam I know it's sad.These people got brainwashed lort🤦.
liam white people brought the hatred and oppression/power play to it-prior to the 1500’s it was mainly just tribal discrimination. The original people were BLACK and Caucasians came on the scene with pure evil and insanity. They have caused the most global violence and historical destruction. Letting white play out their own extinction is like letting a petulant spoiled (but in this case power hungry and oppressive ) toddler wear himself out into a very long nap. And never wake up
These interviews are great, Bill Duke is the man.
This breaks my heart. Why as black people cant we except ALL of our brothers and sisters. To not have children because u were picked on for being darker is heartbreaking. I hate that darker skin blacks get treated this way and is made to feel this way. I try to treat everyone the same. We (blacks) need to have a serious discussion on colorism and how to stop this shit.
Did Vlad really just do a flashback in a flashback? Just do the damn interview?
LOL.
Vladception
Extra 🏌🏿♂️😂
Flashbacks & name dropping....every. damn. interview.
It'shis thing though
By doing that you let them win bill Duke. Never let them win
Alex RaEl preach!!!
I feel you bro but you also don't know the pain of living in the 50s and 60s
That's easy for us to say because we are living now and not then. If I was alive during slavery I would be terrified of having kids because I know what kind of world I'm bringing them into
@@camerondrain8166 I can imagine it and I would be like nat Turner. No fear in death as like as I die free
Dont isolate duke and take dancing classes and memorize good humor jokes.
Vlad just successfully preformed a version of the movie “Inception”..if he did another flashback, I would’ve been “lost” in the levels. 😂😂
The sadness in his eyes when he said "Being black in America in those days"😢😢😢😢😢😢 I was teased in the early 90s in elementary school for being "too dark skinned" so I can't imagine what he had to endure back in those days😢😢😢😢
I could listen to bill duke all day what a legend god bless him 🥊
The Darkest of the Berries are the Sweetest of the Juices!!! 💯🖤✊🏿🖤
Blackest Bro. The blackest. 😉
The darker the roots, deeper the roots
Im a light skinned man but i love dark skinned women opposite attract
Man it's the blacker the berry the sweeter the juice
John Henry I was fully aware of this before deciding too write the statement. Blacker (darker ) Darker( blacker)
Lol damn Vlad you got me watching a snippet of a interview that has a snippet of an interview watching another snippet of an interview😅😥... great interview though!
I love black women with really dark skin and my girlfriend loves black men with really dark skin 👍
But everyone's not like that never will be never should be
This is soul crushing 😪😢
Bill Duke you are an insightful, honest and beautiful man. Thank you.
To be a dark skin person in this world is not an easy life, but it will make you stronger if you don’t allow what people say get to you.
In my 50's never been married, no children and I'm dark skinned.I would love to have children ( boys) as dark as I am, but not girls.Dark skinned women get it worse than all dark skinned ppl.I just wouldn't want to raise any children the way the world is now.Its a crazy world and who would want to subject another person to this evilness?
It takes great courage to go above ones ego to realize "even though I may be happy with my to be child. To force a child into this world is in alot of ways unfair just for my own pleasure". I came to this truth that this isnt a good world and for me on one hand to say I love my child but on the other hand throw my child into a world of nepotism, favoritism, classicism, racism, colorism is pure hypocrisy.
Finally! A flashbacc in a flashbacc 😆. All shades of blacc is beautiful btw...
Like a dark-skinned inception
@taevyon lareaux blacc people come in all shades of the color is what I meant you fuccin tool
Jesus i just realized vlad just showed us a flashback in a flashback IN A FLASHBACK lol
Because he is the king of flash Backs. He is repeating more than a Jean Claude van Damme movie.
Powerful knowledge brother, I never knew he was so deep...
Very well spoken and articulate...
