- Every space isn't yours or even for you. And solidarity is not a one way transaction. You don't get to show up when it's time to collect... Folks are losing the plot. Don't even know what Juneteenth is but wanna be on the stage..

#KendrickLamar #Juneteenth #TheyNotLikeUs - บันเทิง
The fact they mad there wasn’t more Mexican representation at a Juneteenth event and dont even know the meaning of Juneteenth is just wild. 🙄🙄🙄
And messy work 😩💯🤦🏿♂️
He said Tulsa, that's embarrassing
Loud and wrong and still posted. Like what? Be ffr.
It's like people celebrating 5 de Mayo without even knowing what is it about.
Not just wild is under statement of his visible stupidity and ignorance
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
Say that one mo' 'gain!!
@@efeezy7770 bro this on some divide and conquer type shit.
and white people don’t owe you shit
Facts!
Black folks have always been told we need to do our own thing and as soon as we do, everybody else comes running up like "what about us?!"
You ain't got the answers, Sway!. 🤣
All you need to do is look up black Wall Street
Every damn time!!
🎯🎯🎯
Right. Couldn't think their way through a wet paper bag, but wants rights! Lol
"I'm not trying to go racial" while being racial about being underrepresented as a race... The hypocrisy of people 🙄
They think we are dumb lol
When they say that, YOU KNOW they gonna say something racial!!! We not gonna let that fly!!!
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.
WE (BLACK PEOPLE) DON'T REPRESENT LATINOS!!!!!
The way people feel entitled to Black people's time, money, attention, consideration, and general inclusiveness and good will never fails to amaze me
Always....ALWAAAAAAYS
That, like we celebrate us without bringing everyone.
I couldn’t say it better
I so smoke heartedly agree with you. This right here is indicative of their sense of entitlement.
Remember the 10 million dollar donation from Goldman Sachs to BW. 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.
💯💯💯💯💯
They don't even understand the meaning of Juneteenth, but they're mad...smh
Imagine that!
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
That is soooooooooo fvkin hilarious 😂🤣😭😂🤣😭😂🤣😭 boi if ##TheyNotLikeVs was a Podcast 🤦🏿♂️
And didn't bother to find out
G@@devildham
Perfect example of why people need to understand our history and need to be humble.
I am from Califorinia, and let me tell you Mexicans have whole concerts without any black artist or black people present. All the time!
Absolutely. Same in San Antonio, TX. There have always been concerts and other events centered solely on Mexican culture.
All the time
And we are ok with that so why can't they leave us be when it's about US?;
@mykiamoto7145 you really fell for the internet bs huh? Pathetic 😂
Exactly! And No *Blk Ppl* feel 'Entitled' to be on their Stage, either!! sigh...
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.

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.
Nnnope... utterly ridiculous.... UTTERLY RIDICULOUS init smh 😮💨
Lots of Mexicans believe they're white. I'm BLACK and one of my neighbors is....
other ethnicities too
Our time
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
Just because we invite you to the house, doesn’t mean you get to rearrange the furniture
Thats a crazy visual lol I would be snappin
Or even become co-owner on the property
😆🤣😂✨💕❤️
Oh, I like this analogy
The real issue is once they show you who they are, it's your responsibility to stop inviting them to your house.
Cultural Vampires: they feed on you and move on.
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 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.
What gets me is everyone wants Us to help them but no one ever wants to help Us.
Bingo
🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️🛎️
THANK YOU 💯
They know we are not racist.We are too kind.People take advantage of good people.
Ever!!
And this is another reason why I’ve never bought into “Black and brown unity” or “people of color”.
💣 💣‼️‼️🎯🎯🎯
ABSOLUTELY 💯❤❤❤
FOR US ( BLACK ONLY)❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m a white Canadian… that clip in the beginning…. I’m speechless. American education is crazy lacking, like this is unbelievable
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?
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 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!" 😆
Exactly. You NEVER hear anything of that nature from his folks and if we were making those demands, we'd be called all kinds of "mayates" and such.
😂😂😂💕
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
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.
“They are Not a colleagues, they are 🤬colonizers”
💯💯💯
THAT PART ❤❤❤❤❤!!!!
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.
Juneteenth is a black ommunity event. If you weren't invited to the barbecue, don't expect to eat.
🔥🎯🎯🎯
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.
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.
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…
They are known for a** kissing because they wanna be accepted by why tea people, so they target BP.
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?
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
There’s cookouts and then there’s family reunions. This was a family reunion…somebody tell them.

And, Afro-latinos are loudly absent from latino events all the time.
@@tsingletary6311and that!!!
😅😅😅
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
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.
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
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!!
"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.
Imagine the Easter Bunny complaining about being under represented during Christmas.
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🤦🏾♀️
Tell these dudes the song was written for ppl like THEM!!😂
They chanting thinking they're the US when they're the THEY...flew over their heads 🙄
Exactly!
💯💯💯🚫
Facts
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.
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
💯💯💯
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.
chill, chill tho, they not all like that or nothing.... + yo name tijuana lol like come on, how u gon b like that lol

@@terejosh13I noticed that. All the black people were up top, while all these other races were near the stage. It made me sad bc I wanted to see black faces. And none of them self censored at all.
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 thought it was the 16. It's a remembrance of a massacre or something in Tulsa or Selma ," the lack of knowledge and dismissivenest of it all
The CONSTANT false equivalency that goes on around slavery just irks my soul. Indeed, we are not the same.
Exactly what have Mexicans suffered here in America? He didn't explain!!! I'm waiting... smh

@@somenothing7914 no they are not. You sound naive af. Do you even know any Asians or Mexicans? I mean know them intimately as in you know their family, spent time with them on holidays??

No more friendship no more alliance you guys chose WS so stick with it
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.
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
Not One, which means they don't care
So......the real reason for complaining must be..........what????? Surely not Jealousy. Not Fear.
@@andrenefinn704Not at all. It's that people are quicker to drink and party than research what it is they are celebrating.

It applies to everything In Real life 🐓❤️
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❤❤❤
Black people need to stop apologizing and saying I understand, and I’m not against any other race but… just be for your people and stand on US only when it’s a US only thing. Don’t be afraid to speak boldly about things that we don’t want to include other nationalities in on. it is perfectly fine to have black only events and celebrations. Mexicans can have Mexican only events all day everyday and I couldn’t care less. Who cares what the Mexicans or any other race for that matter think. I am unapologetically black first cause guess what? Everybody else is their own people first!!

Unfortunately white supremacy steals it and markets whites and latinos different OUR culture was never given it was hijacked!!
This is why I say POC solidarity does not exist.
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.
Not true. Those are just a couple of loud dumb asses but some people get it.
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.
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'm so tired of people. my goodness. 😭
all humanity is a shambles
Mexicans underrepresented?? Juneteenth is OUR holiday! And the fact that he didn’t even know or understand the holiday proves why it was NOT for them
They not like us.
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.
@@apexone5502 exactly
We need to normalize people accepting that they are wrong. Now that everyone wants to be right, they just continue to make themselves look foolish when corrected.
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.
A couple years ago, Henry Louis Gates had a documentary called black in Latin America. That’s when I found out more about Black people there, and I felt bad for them and that they are pushed out and erased by non-black and white Hispanics.
@empress9143, I seen that as well. Thank God for Dr. Gates shining the spotlight on that issue.
They are ostracized; I too saw a documentary about that
This is very sad. How can anyone demand inclusion, if they erase people from history? Of course this is about rap culture in the 20th and 21st century. And certainly rap historians have postulated why West Coast rap is what it is.
But knowledge of history should count for something, although this might not speak to the concerns of this particular video. Why might the history of Juneteenth be important to know? Many of the founders of Los Angeles (El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río Porciúncula) were Afro-Mexicans. Many of the first expeditionary forces from Mexico and settlers of Alta California were Afro-Mexican because they were at the bottom of society and found opportunity as soldiers and settlers. It is very sad that so few people know their history, especially the fact that an Afro-Mexican President decreed the end of slavery in all of Mexico, which in turn, caused Texas to secede from Mexico and later, from the United States, and because no one told Black people in Texas that they were free until long after the Civil War ended. But it's almost as if Afro-Mexicans have never existed. Oh well.
Not to mention religious persecution on top of being black because the Afro-Latinos, Afro-Brazilians who are shunned or have been killed for practicing Afro religions
🎯🎯🎯🎯
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
“They Not Like Us” is about how all appropriators are not us which would be: BLACK AMERICANS!🖤❤️💚
This is fucking SAD! They don't even understand the meaning of Juneteenth, but they're mad 🤦🏾♂
Are you kidding me?😮 The jealousy is real. All in the kool-aid but don't know the flavor.
I had recently used that same phrase. We need to resurrect that one and put it back in circulation.
@@apexone5502 Frfr
That saying is old as hell and STILL relevant
When we need allies for social issues and injustices, WHERE ARE THEY AT???? Nowhere to be found. They can kick rocks!!
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!
Instead of them worrying about Black people in the U.S., they need to worry about how Black Mexicans are treated in Mexico. Fix that first before you come for Kendrick and what we don't do.
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!!!
smh IMAGINE FBA Black People UPSET that WE weren't On Stage @ a CINCO DE MAYO Festival! 🤦🏾😤
🎯
These days EVERYDAY might as well be April Fool's Day, hahahaha!
Literally some foolery on the daily.
True indeed 😞!
Him bringing up the struggles of Mexicans in this country as a response to Juneteeth reminds me of those right wing incels who only talk about men's mental illness when people are talking about women's issues.
Or the white people who try to compare the indentured servitude of some Irish people to the trans Atlantic slave trade.
That guy wasn't listening to what Kendrick Lamar was saying to Drake during the battle LOL... and he didn't pay attn to what day it was! CRAZY.
Hold up.. it's a deep-seated hatred and a deep-seated jealousy from OTHERS.. FACTS.
Exactly!!
💯💯💯
Mexican dude tried to single-handedly take back the poorly informed / entitlement game. 😂😂😂
Even if it wasn't Juneteenth, That's not Kendrick's responsibility...
Do we demand that we are apart of their holidays? And they don’t even know what Juneteenth is. They sound freaking ridiculous!!!!
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
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.
A lot of what people refer to as “gatekeeping” is really just having boundaries.
This is actually just like Beyonce's brown skin girl and how she had to include other groups because they were complaining. Every group has theor genre and easily could have made a song addressing colorism. No one did. They all had to wait for a black woman to do it. Made the whole thing about themselves.
Another example i just found out about is how there are white women criticizing Fenty for not having lighter shades........... and how extremely light women have difficulty finding makeup that fits them..........ALL THESE YEARS THAT BLACK WOMEN HAVE BEEN SCREAMING ABOUT LACK OF INCLUSIVITY IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY, WHITE WOMEN NEVER SAID A WORD. When we got a little bit of representation, this is when they decide to come out of their hidey holes??
Im over it 🙄
OMG, the ignorance is just stunning!!!! And, the sense of entitlement is simply incredible.
It's not ignorance, in the age of Google, it's pure hatred and disrespect.
THIS
@@tsmith3919 You would be surprised how many people are too lazy to do that.
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'm from Compton and live in California, unfortunately this is not a surprise. Ridiculous!!😬
EXACTLY!! WE can't have NOTHING!! THEY always mad at what little bit WE get, but don't look at ALL THEY have AND get ANDgiven.
Main character syndrome is giving. That like saying cinco de Mayo doesn’t have enough black element to it. Make it make make sense
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
They weren’t lying, there was no joke. People really feel like they are entitled to everything. I am sure if they knew what Juneteenth was they would still feel that way. Ignorance is more common than we think.
Mexicans didn't experience Jim-Crow races, they sat back and watched.
"Let the Negro fight his own battles!' His problems are not mine. I don't want to ally with him." - Felix Tijerina, Mexican-American president of LULAC (1956 -60)
It's like you always say...the ones that have sooo much to say never have the range for these convos!
They were underrepresented in summer 2020 too…they didn’t want to be on THAT stage. Just this one.
💯! That’s rough, but right ✊🏿
This is one of the many reasons there is NO BLACK & BROWN COALITION! not only are they disrespectful to FBA Culture the entitlement is sickening 🙄
Hip hop died when others got too involved and when TikTok came out. We're the cool kids that get copied. And when they do, we move on to something new as we historically do. Online attention seekers make it hard to gatekeep the culture.
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
