When I saw the link I thought "oh man, this negro gonna embarrass himself." I'm a big Combat Jack fan, although I have missed many recent episodes, however I enjoy clowning the man. Sometimes he makes horrible arguments, he can sometimes be too over the top...but as I watched this I couldn't help but feel he was talking directly to me brehs.
I too have walked into stores, realized I was the only black person there, and immediately felt a sense of dread. Not because I was scared of cacs, but because I couldn't stop analyzing my every move, for fear that it be interpreted wrongly. If I put my hand in my pocket to check my phone, I immediately wonder if someone might think I just stole something. If I go back to an aisle, I might wonder whether someone watching me might think I'm scoping out people, or planning to do something etc.
I don't think this is exclusive to black people. I'm sure Hispanics have similar thoughts; perhaps they wonder if a cac is thinking they must be an illegal immigrant for instance. Even white people can have this problem. One of my friends is a huge hip hop fan, and he told me he always fears giving his opinion because he thinks black people might automatically label him as the "wigger rap fan." Obviously that fear is nothing compared to the examples I gave about black and Hispanics, but the point is that we all feel like the "other" at one point or another.
TLDR: just watch the video brehs, it's pretty damn good. Not just as people, but as hip hop fans.
