Texas League of Young Voters Education Fund presents “Vote For Your DAYUM Self" Comedy Tour featuring Ali Siddiq. www.TexasYoungVoters.org l @txyoungvoters
didn't realize how much I liked this guy until I saw this video oh yeah I enjoyed his humor makes me laugh but this video makes me like HIM as a person
It's finally 2016 and I'm seriously considering voting this year. Ali Siddiq speaks from the heart and paints a perfect picture of the lack of choice in many underprivileged communities in our cities across America. Basically, what I'm saying is Ali Saddiq 2016! Continue to keep it trill good sir!
We need to put kindergardens in nursing homes and have the kids grow produce for the old people. They're both just living in the moment. Theyre patient. Its natural. Can we get on this ?
Good for you Ali, you are hilarious and incredibly aware. So much DOES go down in hospitals and homes for the elderly. I'm an RN manager at a very nice facility, with a company that's been around since the 1800's and has a solid reputation.. I'm about to get fired (just because it's illegal doesn't mean it doesn't happen) for reporting elder abuse at this facility that the entire staff - up to the administration - was complicit in. Abuse happens A LOT. You defined that dynamic perfectly.......
He's so right, I refuse to put my mom I. A nursing home she gonna live out her life right here with me, she's treated like the queen that she is too ❤️
It's weird. In the neighborhood in Philly in which I live, there's grocery stores reachable by many. However the closest things are beer stores, hair braiding salons, houses turned into children day cares, and Chinese takeout jawns. Every single block has one or the other. So while the ShopRite, or Fresh Grocery is a 10-15 min walk away, the crappier options are boom, right next door. I say it's weird, because it seems like a very small bubble, or something closed off.
Much Respect! We need to teach our youth to be more respectful of our elders and to look out for them. This was the situation years ago, now people have no respect, others shun getting older, with all sorts of wrinkle cremes as if its a disease or something. We better hope we get older the way things are going now.
He honestly does speak the truth. Privileged community have some of the nicest stores restaurants and mini malls. When in the lower part community it's crap. Of course our lower privileged is going to your community.
I miss Representative Mickey Leland. He really cared about Houston✌🏿😢👍🏿 If u elect that person, all they can do is One areas only for grocery stores. Or if they are smart start pop-up farmers market every week end but also allow craft vendors and food trucks. It works. If neighborhood rough have squads on the lot each end.
He's speaking truth here but neither of the two main parties give a damn about poor people or attempting to improve their lives. He's a republican and that's beneficial to him because he has money, living behind a gated community now but that's only because he found a way out of an impoverished cycle that the government put in place to begin with since the 14th amendment. He has a talent that took him somewhere, you can never hate on him for that but if he were a regular former convict, depending on where he lived he might not have even had the right to vote until recently.
This is an old video but somehow popped up.yes elderly do get literally beat in nursing homes.many yrs ago i was a cna at the old sping branch hospital.we had one old lady who had dementia and was just very combative.she would dig her nails into your skin with some unbelievable strength!! I would just get other staff to come help me restrain her.basically tie her down.one night me and another cna, an african woman, not an african american woman was helping me.She was always so helpful and pleasant to everyone.as we were helping, the elderly lady starting to thow fists and she dug her nails into the african lady.this was nothing new.she had done it to all of us.that african lady grabbed that old womans arm with one hand n swung a very very very hard punch on that old womans shoulder and again on her upper arm and her thighs about 3 times.with ALOT OF FORCE.the eldery lady started crying.i stood frozen.i didnt know what to do.i was 19 and a baby cna....i left the room and never did report it.i was scared.im 43 now and think back on that sometimes.god bless anybody in a nursing home.i resigned 2 wks later.i watched pts dying and would hold their hand or stroke their hair.say a prayer.most nurses wouldnt even come in the room untill the monitor flatlined.i would close their eyes n try to make the bed and pillow and their hair look decent for when the family arrived.ironically when family arrived, the nurses were so sympathetic and caring.it was a total shi* show of human indignity
Some places have community gardens. They provide fresh vegetables, bring people together, and instill a sense of pride in children. Also, Covid revealed about half of Americans are in need of vitamin D3. That’s important in every system in your body. It is cheap.
Voting is cool and all, but ... Politicians don't build grocery stores, or liquor stores for that matter. Free markets do. If that one store in town is selling out it's produce section every day, you can bet more will show up in town soon, no voting needed.
Love Ali. But here is the actual problem. If you spend your money at a grocery store, the grocery store opens more locations. Spend your money at McDonalds, more McDonalds will open up. Representatives don't have any business deciding which business succeeds and which isn't allowed. The was a time that government said who was welcome and who wasn't. That shouldn't happen again. The people are only helpless when they expect someone to do it for them.
This isn't about voting. The government doesn't control what stores are in what cities, economics does that. If u want does in your city, you can't rob them. And whatever there's a market for, it will be sold. So whatever stores are in your neighborhood is a reflection of the demand in your neighborhood.
The government doesn't build grocery stores. Food deserts are huge problem, but you can't just cry government every time something sucks. Bad neighborhoods have liquor stores and pawn shops because those are the only places that are equipped to handle being robbed and worked over all the time. Safeway doesn't build a store in these areas because it would get robbed and generally destroyed. I get the problem, but I don't get the solution. What is the state going to do?
It's the government's responsibility to promote the welfare of its citizens. Governments are responsible for urban planning, public transit, and districting where certain businesses can be located. In addition, if a community is lacking an essential service such as grocery stores, local governments can set tax incentives to promote those businesses to move in to the area. I recommend you do a little research into the power and affect the government has on your life and most importantly, participate in all elections because they affect you DIRECTLY! I can't emphasize that enough.
in most states felons can't vote. however in Vermont and Maine felons can vote( even while in jail).... I'm sure it's just a coincidence, that those are 2 of the most "whitest" states
They don't want real ones like him in the Major's. That's why they let dudes like Steve Harvey and Kevin Hart ect. Run off with his stand up acts SMH. It's on a whole nother level y'all hear me.
I'm a Brit who spends half the year in the States and I cannot bear to watch your TV because all it is is ads for prescription medications. We don't have that in Europe periodt. Also, everytime I'm in the US my blood sugar creeps up because you put sugar in EVERYTHING. I will drive for miles to find bread without added sugar, the sweet stuff tastes terrible to me. I have to read every ingredient on everything I buy to avoid *added* sugar. Your labels nearly all have added sugar. It's no wonder you're all sick with diabetes. I love your country, but I don't love how unhealthy you all are willing to be.
Man was in prison and look at him now, droppin knowledge. I admire this dude.
So do I!
so glad I've found Ali comedy,he needs his own show
He droppin knowledge on this
didn't realize how much I liked this guy until I saw this video oh yeah I enjoyed his humor makes me laugh but this video makes me like HIM as a person
Just wrote a paper on food deserts...he speaking the truth
I just became aware of this guy. This is the type of person, comedian I would support. I wish more would be like him. Wish him much success.
he speaks the truth AND he's funny as #%!!
It's finally 2016 and I'm seriously considering voting this year. Ali Siddiq speaks from the heart and paints a perfect picture of the lack of choice in many underprivileged communities in our cities across America. Basically, what I'm saying is Ali Saddiq 2016! Continue to keep it trill good sir!
+Philip Von Berg took the words from out my mouth
Philip Von Berg bet he voted for the trash obummer who didnt fix shit in their hoods
We need to put kindergardens in nursing homes and have the kids grow produce for the old people. They're both just living in the moment. Theyre patient. Its natural. Can we get on this ?
LetsBeClear We have this in Austria. Kindergarten within an old folks home. It’s brilliant and works really well.
Sounds like a great idea!
I came to laugh... He dropped knowledge...
Still though
Mexican got on boots
Lol I loved that set
🤣🤣🤣
"What kind of knife you need?"
😂😂😂
Intelligent & Hilarious...🙏BLESSED✌️
YES!!! Why is it so few people see and understand how this vicious cycle actually works? It’s nice to see someone speaking about it in this format.
This is less comedy and more just real talk. Wake up people
Good for you Ali, you are hilarious and incredibly aware. So much DOES go down in hospitals and homes for the elderly.
I'm an RN manager at a very nice facility, with a company that's been around since the 1800's and has a solid reputation..

Abuse happens A LOT. You defined that dynamic perfectly.......
Ali and Dave both have this wisdom that is crazy. I hate the word "woke" but they are standing definitions of that word
This is the kind of man I have been searching for! Or friend! Not enough people think like him....
He's so right, I refuse to put my mom I. A nursing home she gonna live out her life right here with me, she's treated like the queen that she is too ❤️

I grew up in Philadelphia and lived in Brooklyn for many years and same shit SW Philadelphia
Really enjoyed this. Didnt realize how much knowledge he speaks until this video. Wise man.
#TRUTH
Truth, yet very funny.

#BigFacts! 👂🏾💯💪🏾
anyone knows the beat playing at the end ???? plz
I almost thought Ali was D. L. Hughley for a minute because of his intellectual comments
So true
Some places have community gardens. They provide fresh vegetables, bring people together, and instill a sense of pride in children. Also, Covid revealed about half of Americans are in need of vitamin D3. That’s important in every system in your body. It is cheap.
you vote with your dollar, there is so many fast food places because people choose to buy the shit as opposed to going to the grocery store.
That is right
::Preach::
Someone MUST know what beat is used in the credits!!! Share the knowledge, people!!
Real talk.. Fam 🤔
Been saying this for years ✌
Please share the beat at the end of the show 🙏🏼
u need to do a comeback mate!
tell them the truth!!!!!!!!!
🥰
Ali speaking facts
Truuuuu
🤔👍👍👍
Don’t forget Arab/Indian stores everywhere
Voting is cool and all, but ... Politicians don't build grocery stores, or liquor stores for that matter. Free markets do. If that one store in town is selling out it's produce section every day, you can bet more will show up in town soon, no voting needed.
It’s because we are old and this is a disposable society so just dispose of the old people cause the young is what the future of America
Apathy erodes without exception.
Let's talk about it
That's right. Blame the victims for their own predicament. There is no onslaught from white supremacy.
Use me as the “Mexican got on boots” button
NEW ALI SIDDIQ th-cam.com/video/VYxiOuoCPO0/w-d-xo.html
when the credits feel like they are longer than the sketch :\

Wish Colin Kaepernick would watch this.
Mexicans got on boots.
This also sound's like Detroit MI. Pretty sad honestly 😢
And it's only getting worse smh more liquor stores than produce stands
I thought ex cons could not vote? Is that only from state to state?
in most states felons can't vote. however in Vermont and Maine felons can vote( even while in jail).... I'm sure it's just a coincidence, that those are 2 of the most "whitest" states
Starting a business is more important than voting.
They don't want real ones like him in the Major's. That's why they let dudes like Steve Harvey and Kevin Hart ect. Run off with his stand up acts SMH. It's on a whole nother level y'all hear me.
man all the successful people are coming out of the jail and strip clubs now. Im in the wrong industry lol. jk jk
Anybody here that know who the white panthers are?... Know your history fools
Jesus is the only way.
he has a Muslim name. Is he a Muslim?
The real luminous one Lol, I am a Muslim myself. That is why I am proud of him.
halfvolley11 I believe he is because he said he couldnt eat the chicken in prison because it wasn't halal. Allahu Allam
+halfvolley11 yes he's Muslim.
halfvolley11 you can tell from the way he thinks he is
@halfvolley11, how does the way someone thinks with regards to secular matters tells their religion?
Not too many funnies for 2 and a half minutes
I'm a Brit who spends half the year in the States and I cannot bear to watch your TV because all it is is ads for prescription medications. We don't have that in Europe periodt. Also, everytime I'm in the US my blood sugar creeps up because you put sugar in EVERYTHING. I will drive for miles to find bread without added sugar, the sweet stuff tastes terrible to me. I have to read every ingredient on everything I buy to avoid *added* sugar. Your labels nearly all have added sugar. It's no wonder you're all sick with diabetes. I love your country, but I don't love how unhealthy you all are willing to be.
The shitty food keeps everyone lethargic and apathetic as well. All from design.
well that wasn't comedy
thats some real shit for yo punc ass
This is comedy?
Trill this was just a slice of education. Watch other videos of his and he does make really good jokes
No it's bc people steal shit from the grocery store
