2055 “we keep our people down due to our parents parents parents parents parents parents parents parents parents and what they went through.”….At some point something gotta give and have accountability
Everything he is saying is so true. Black people pull each other down instead of working together. It’s a mindset. It’s not all black people because some do work together. He’s talking about a generational curse being passed down based on an old mindset. I don’t want you to succeed or have more than me. So true brother.
But you're missing his point, today it's like that but back them it was because of survival from your Parents and Elders 🧓🏿, now is twisted to see you Fall...
Yeah but when we do come together other people make ways to tear us down. I was in LA in the late 80s and 90s alot of blackw owned homes and businesses but the LAPD started locking up every young black male claiming there cracking down on gangs. It was all BS they devalue are communities too. So if today we all came together to make a difference other people will try and tear us down. We gotta fight back and keep everything black owned like the Jews Asians etc. there's a china town in every big city we need to do the same . Close ranks and keep it black . Nothing against other races but we gotta look out for us first like they do
As a black man who also rose up, stepped away to pursue excellence for over a decade, only to return to my lifelong family and friends to see the change in them.....this is EASILY the most powerful, deep and relatable segment I've EVER seen with Michael Jai White.
Naa, not hate towards, but Extreme jealously and envy . Once those people see how well you've done for yourself, the only hatred they have is directed in the mirror.
@duncanidaho5834 if My parents and family was right then I would have ended up just like all of them. Uneducated, weedhead, baby making ,scheming broke, violent alcoholics. In my family, if you wasn't doing what they was doing, then you was the biggest joke in the house hold. What's ironic is that now that we grown, they don't even come together for each other, because they all so disrespectful to each other especially after a few drinks that they begin to clown each other and it all escalates to fighting, stabbings and shootings💯
@TravelHall74 I'm not sneaking as much for me as I'm speaking for some of t g e single mothers I've dated. I dated one that who got mad at me for reprimanding her 11 year out son, whomever she knew was stealing cars and selling drugs. When I started teaching him about repairing this around his house and taking him on jobs with me. She said he doesn't care about none of that because the money I'm giving him is nothing. That's found out everything. I told her he has a gift for fixing things. She got mad at me because i said he wasn't built for the streets. Because even though hes 11, he actually looks 6. What's really sad is that when I left, he cried, that's what really hurt me. Seeing what's awaiting him under his mom's care💯
People were brining me down my whole life. When I went on my self growth journey, I became more educated, more fire in my heart, abundance and a crazy amount of self confidence.
This the thing Vlad always misses. He thinks because he's in the culture he understands our pain and struggles the same way it affects us and this is the problem of "but I'm not racist mentality"
I get you, but it was a fair question, first because it was a question he wasnt saying it as fact, besides he's willing to learn how to do better, and to some extent Vlad is right, you can see that atitude in other peoples, the same way MJW's answer was on point, its just not the same. People think it takes a few years to deprogram someone, it takes several generations to loose some features that arent relevant now but used to make all the difference back then
sounds good but never will happen... regardless of how big someone in our community get... its gonna always be dummies screaming... what are you doing for black people all while wearing fruit of the loom and Hanes drawers...
I see what Michael is saying. These feelings are still inside people that are descendants of people that went through this. It just comes out different now. Epigenetics
It's a bunch of excuses, people now weren't even born or around when all those things were happening. Black folks try to keep each other down now because they don't other Blacks doing better than them.
Im"white" and from the hood..Michael Jai White always been a real one.. He ain't say anything wrong at all on this matter. He really touched on things others really don't want to dive into and address. The irony and poetry of how this world is truly makes all of us in movie
My little brother has a food business getting off the ground, I support him like a MF. I like to see my people succeed and accomplish goals whether related or not.
THIS TOPIC IS SO UNDERRATED. IF THEY ONLY KNEW HOW MUCH TRAUMA WE PUT INTO OUR KIDS LIVES WITH THE CHOICES AND "TOUGH LOVE" CONCEPT REALLY JUST FEELS LIKE YOUR CARRYING 1000 POUNDS ON YOUR BACK ALL THE TIME. AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE'RE TOLD TO "SUCK IT UP," "KEEP OUR CHEST OUT," IT REALLY DOES HURT. 😢
Nah cant keep using the same excuse, black americans created a culture for themselfs thats destructive to themselfs. You poiting the fingers again at other is just proving my point
Thank you Mike for talking sense about a culture Vlad will never understand no matter how many black he talk to he don’t understand the black community period
Yeah, he tried to make a comparison of living in a trailer park to the struggles of black culture. Michael Jai White set him straight real quick. It's not the same.
Yeah he should. Its a topic that we don't talk about a lot if at all. Plus it'll give him another opportunity to make something outside of what he normally makes to show his talent and skills.
@nigelmcgiver2275Your Bible said you reap what you sow, Karma is very powerful and that's something you yt people don't understand and will never understand. 🤔
@nigelmcgiver2275 yeah because Yt people embody Normalcy right ? Should we list the countless atrocities from Holocaust , Genocides , Colonialism, Slavery ?
People “bringing you down” makes you a stronger person. The problems in the black community can make you the most resilient person in the world. It’s like being bullied as a child, when you overcome your fear of pleasing others and standing up for yourself is NECESSARY in this world. Steel sharpens steel
Amazing analysis, our community is still living on generational trauma that manifests in the "Crab in a barrel" mentality. Never saw it that way, good perspective
True. If anyone thinks that it has been a long time and that we should have gotten over it, then I would tell them to do their family tree and you will realize that 100 years is no time at all.
Intelligence with commonsense & spirituality is powerful. There isn't many strong mind people today. With so much distraction can it be changed? I approve of everything he just stated.
Because the majority of black people are so hateful towards each other, I had no other choice but to embrace individualim. The reality is we have gotten so far apart from each other. Black love/black unity is a Dream that will never come true.
Black culture is hellbent on diminishing those who are great. We love you on the way up, but if you get too big now we have to tear you down.. Its a reason why Entertainers of other races are flourishing playing Arenas and Theaters and revered by their fans and our Legendary entertainers are performing outside of Swap Meets. We compare and contrast our greats to bring them down and it’s taken literal. Black culture means, “There can only be one” when other races have multiple legends all winning. We kill ours off.
The problem I have with this “black culture as a black man myself is that everything has to be about race. I can’t have a different opinion than someone who’s quote of the same race with me or it always having to tie back to race and everybody wants to include each other in drama and hot mess as if we all do it how many times have I heard or we heard that black people do this white people do this I’m beyond sick and tired of hearing that shit.
Bruh what are you talking about? Black Americans have more legends within entertainment than damn near every race outside of white people combined. You do understand the musical genres others do to be seen were created by Black people right?
I definitely have to agree with his take on Generational Trauma. I believe every individual is responsible for his or her own actions. But at the same time, if PTSD is really a real thing, I think it's unreasonable to think 400 years of slavery hasn't had lasting effects on black folks. If severe trauma suffered by a human being earlier in their life can have lasting effects on them later in life, how can 400 years of severe trauma suffered by an ENTIRE RACE of people not have lasting effects on them for generations to come???? I definitely believe Alot of what we as a race of people do to eachother are holdovers from slavery.
Cold facts people grow to each other in our community based on your situation. If they know you are going through hard times they relate to you more. But when you start growing and doing better your friends begin to fall off. All it is relationships are based on really how people relate if they can’t relate to your lifestyle then the friendships phase out.
Im proud to say i never been a hater another person getting money inspires me as long as i can get up and get my own money I feel its no reason to get mad at the next person put your boots on😂😂
To date, this is my FAVORITE Micheal Jai White interview segment: "They pulled you down...because they loved you.

This is powerful. We are all thinking it,but people are afraid to talk about it. We need to explore the root causes of our behavior in order to heal, unite, and move forward as a people.

You personally saw jealousy and/or envy in their eyes, voices and behaviour?
IT USED TO BE OUT OF LOVE, BUT NOW ITS OUT OF HATE
Same thing, just reverse. I just assess its intensity either way.
Nah it's always been hate......
