Sometimes I'm think, do I sound white rn:dwillhuh:

And then I hear people like this I mean god damn
LMAO. I mean, yea, a lot us of share a cadence and vernacular. All cultures do. So I'm not being politically correct and suggesting "sounding [insert ethnicity]" isn't a thing. But a lot of us are capable of code switching and I'd assume that's important when you have an audience of his size. Even the brother from uravgconsumer, who people are trying to hold up as some sort of beacon of a "true breh" :comeon:, has a very neutral speaking tone in his videos. Regardless if that's his natural speaking voice or not I don't get why dudes in here calling the man white-washed or a c00n. Who cares who he's sleeping with? Weird shyt. More black staff though, I definitely am all for that.

Just made a new fan
Channel is awesome, been subbed for years. MKBHD's is dope as well.

I hear you, I moved from Brooklyn to Oregon so I 100% get what you mean but, nah he's definitely c00ning they provided multiple examples. The blm shyt was sad. Why do nerdy brehs get this pass? I was a geek growing up that didn't stop me from (unsuccessfully) talking to black girls or starting our BSU or just being generally aware of white supremacy and capitalism. What the hell, super disappointing he didn't hire 1 fukking black person and dates out, like nikka what the fukk is even the point.

Suburban, well off black folks should be the most militant, we should feel compelled to do more for the whole, we have the path of least resistance. And why are you playing anti intellectual like that cmon, it's more than just who he's fukking, look at the type he's around, where do you think that legacy is gonna up in a generation or two.

Off topic, I don't really get code switching I feel like I sound like both at the same time idk how to describe it:yeshrug: when I speak kreyol I do notice a tone shift.

sak pase breh :myman: . I'm aligned with most of your thoughts on this. I'm not caping for him because he's a tech nerd. I, personally, would have handled the BLM video differently. And the apparent lack of black employees at his studio is indeed a huge oversight. Where I draw the line and disagree is speaking ill of this man's "blackness" (whatever that even means) because of certain choices he's made or how he carries himself. I never been about that in real life or even in random corners of the internet. And idk if people are just talking shyt or actually believe this stuff but I try to speak up when I see it. I get I'm probably not changing anyone's mind and that's cool. I just think there's a more productive way to hold these conversations rather than screaming "c00n" when another brother makes us uncomfortable. I don't care who he's sleeping with or what music he listens to. I do care that he's a wildly successful breh with a STEM background projecting a positive image to an audience of millions. Not saying that makes him immune to criticism.

Nap Boule:leon:

Why do you say whatever that means? Black Power, Black Is Beautiful, my understanding was that 'blackness' is a form of 'civic religion' African Americans and Black people that identify with Black Americans culture express daily, similar to Chavismo or Jewish Chutzpah. (For lack of a better comparison) Not saying you're able to absorb it like ideology in a book but I've heard people earnestly say 'we real black' what does that mean to you? Is it just about skin tone?

If you agree with some aspect of what I wrote you understand the position we're in, it's not good. Call me a hotep but we should all be making at effort to find a black woman, pragmatically its better for the community. People have whatever personal hangups but imo it makes no sense to be pro black and for example move to Sweden. Wasted potential. Hopefully that makes sense.

I think you're settling for too little, I want more than a good image, I want a strong example. Imagine he does this video and the entire studio was black, that would be inspiring, we already know one breh can make it. That's just how I see it off the top of my head might be all over the place.
