0:00 So, you know what this one? >> Yeah, I've seen this video. >> All right, let's go. >> Welcome to America. Tell me what you're thinking. >> It's so much. >> Kleenex is clean. >> I've always been interested in history and the history of black people. I took I took my first history classes at U of L. My grandma lived at 2021 West Kentucky Street. I collected so many books. And now I'm going to go to church. This is my family. I'm going to die there. And I wouldn't be anywhere else. >> Beautiful.
0:51 Thank you. >> Welcome to America. >> So good, right? So Is this a church? >> She said museum. >> Is it like a slavery museum? >> I think there's a lot of that, yeah. And And part of it is to experience like >> The slavery? >> The slavery. >> That ain't good enough. >> Yeah, right. >> They need to ████ ankle lock that ████ and then START WHIPPING THEM. PICK THAT COTTON. >> VERY GOOD JOB. I'M GLAD I'M IN THIS VIDEO. >> [laughter] >> Very good job. >> [gasps] >> That's a real reenactment. >> Yeah, true. >> You're like, "Oh, heavy chain." Like that doesn't do ████ >> Well, to me it's the her reaction that's funny. >> Yeah. >> Cuz him, he's like the curator at the museum and he's like he's almost like a Oh, welcome to the wild, wild west. You're putting on this cowboy hat. Here's two pistols. Bang, bang, bang.
1:41 Say hi to the camera. And it's the lady that's like And the wild, wild west is ████ crazy. I just see those engines try to kill my whole family. And you're like Okay, next. >> [laughter] >> He had a Kleenex ready to go. And her hands were so heavy she couldn't even lift it up to ████ do this. >> The fact that he had the Kleenex ready to go though it's like he probably sees a hundred of these like old white ladies dance. Yeah, just crying every day. And he's so nonchalant too. He's like, "Kleenex?" He's like, "All right, another >> Welcome to America. >> crybaby ass white lady." >> I just love I just love black history. I read so many books about black history and ████ Such a little ████ >> [laughter] >> My The funniest thing to me is watching old white ladies trying to connect. Like
2:33 and but they're just missing the mark. And saying some ████ racist ████ They're like, >> [snorts] >> "I like the ████ too. I really do. I ate chop suey every day. >> Egg rolls are my favorite. >> Yeah. And we're like, "Cool." >> Yeah, it's just funny when you see people try to like they have to force experience this guilt. And you're like, "You're not even a part of it." >> You're role-playing. >> Yeah, this is like hundreds of years ago. You could just say, "Hey, you like this museum? Leave a little tip at the gift shop at the end to support the museum. Educate yourself. This is pretty cool. You don't have to go in there and get all crazy emotional. >> Don't forget ████ whipped and ████ >> As a as a what? What Okay, like what Why do your aunties do this? >> Um >> Like what's going on? >> Mine hate black people. >> Okay, but like >> [laughter] >> in the
3:24 in this example, right? Like can you tap into the mind of these people? Like why why like what's going on? >> He can't tap into it. It runs in the bloodline. >> Oh, yeah. Yeah. >> He's one of the drivers. He's like, "We I wish we went back to those days." >> If you watch the news, the news is basically always blaming you for all this ████ if you're white. And so I think that that just works and bakes into people's brains over time. >> Okay, what guilt do you feel though? >> What guilt do I feel? >> Yeah, absolutely. >> your white guilt? >> What white guilt? >> Sports gambling? I feel guilty that I >> That you lose? >> [laughter] >> That I lose. I lost all of my Knicks bets. No, it's not boy. But that's what I mean. I don't really No, I don't do that. I don't do that ████ >> When I see ████ like this, right? What I When I see I just think did you just ████ wake up to this like yesterday? And now you're just shocked.
4:14 >> Right. >> So then now she needs to do this because she's like, "I never knew we had slaves." >> Dude, no way if you've read hella books. Like she's been She's been thinking and feeling this a long time. >> Like I think Christopher Columbus is ████ tight. I know and this ████ is probably like, "F███ Christopher Columbus." and all that kind of ████ I think he's sick. >> I think we need a way better experience so they can really feel like what it was like. This is too This is too simple. I don't I don't like it. >> What do you What do you think? What do you think? >> We need to strip them naked and have an auction. And then we need to like Dude, like the whole experience. >> You see the Key Key Key & Peele sketch of that? >> Yeah. >> Love that one. >> Good one. >> They're trying to get sold and they're outdoing each other. >> Like it's like the NBA draft. Like Dude, what's wrong with us? Come on, man.
5:04 >> Nobody wants them and they're cheap. [laughter] >> No, I really do think that it's it's from media and ████ like that. It's probably the same thing that you guys go through where like you're you get told like, "Oh, just because I'm Asian I'm good at karate. I can't believe people think I'm so good at karate and ████ like that." >> Ha ha, I'm so good at karate. >> [laughter] >> People think I'm ████ smart cuz I'm Asian. I can't believe this ████ I'm so They're so racist against me. They think I'm a doctor. I hate they think that I can't drive well just cuz I can't drive well. >> This is so like such a unique American thing cuz I can't picture like uh going like a German going to like a Jewish museum, right? And it's like, "Welcome to Auschwitz." And the guy, the German IS LIKE, "OH!" >> [screaming] >> LIKE HE LIKE ALL I'VE BEEN READING JEWISH BOOKS OR WHATEVER. >> Never happening.
5:54 >> Yeah, they're just like you go through a museum a regular way, you feel you know, bad about what happened in the past. But it's not like this guilt like that you're personally involved in it. >> At least at like the Titanic museum, you put your hand in the cold water and you're like, "Oh, ████ That's crazy." >> They do have the ice there. >> That's true. >> did go to there. >> See, that's a real experience. >> That's what I'm saying. You can feel the temperature from that night and you can empathize for what they were going through and ████ like that. But like this is just performative wax ████ >> Hey man, it's it's it's her truth, you know? >> Welcome to America. By the way, they were already chained on the boat. >> [laughter] >> They didn't Yeah, they didn't land in America with the chains on. It's not accurate. >> Actually, when you came to America, they took off the chain. >> Yeah. >> Take off the chain so they could, you know, put you on stage to be sold. >> Yeah, it should have been like, "You're going to America." >> Actually. >> [laughter]
6:45 >> I don't know, man. I think um I All right. As a non-white, I kind of rather have them be like overly guilty and like cautious than the other way around. >> Okay. >> Cuz the other way around is segregation, the ████ you are cattle, and uh second-class citizens. So if we look at the extreme form, how far we went from that to this, I was like, >> [snorts] >> "You know what? Um I know I I'd I'd rather be in the middle, but if you if you look at the two extremes, I'd rather be on the extreme version of like white people being more cautious. >> But if there's three choices, it's like wrong, right, wrong. I think being right could just be just cool, too. >> Yeah. >> It doesn't have to be wrong or wrong. >> Also like I feel like down the street is
7:36 like the Civil War reenactment, >> [laughter] >> which is like also about ending slavery and as like a lesson plan so to speak at the very least you know let's go here pay respects and be welcomed into America via chain and then go down the street and then you got like the sick ass reenactments you know like the war they're all dressed up and stuff like that and they like they have to like stay in character and ████ while you're like walking through all the plantations or what not. I'm just saying like that one's kind of cool right? >> So check this I went to a middle school in San Diego and uh it was mixed race hello Mexicans hello white people hello everybody and Asians and uh we had this thing in eighth grade called the blue and the gray ball which was like cuz we're learning about the Civil War so we had like a dance where we all dressed up like >> a Civil War dance?
8:26 >> Yeah Civil War dance where we all dressed up like Union and the Confederate side so we're all wearing blue >> all the white people were Confederates? >> Well no no it was like you you got picked at random so I was like ████ I got the South that sucks cuz they lose you know what I mean? >> Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah >> Yeah >> but they got the sick flag though >> Yeah they had the sick flag for sure Union Jack but um so yeah we had this weird dance where like yeah all we're like I was dressed like a Confederate ████ soldier and like we're I'm dancing with like I'm trying to dance with like the girl I have a crush on or ████ >> [snorts] >> problem is she's in chains >> she's she's dressed like Abigail from The Crucible and ████ you know >> oh ████ >> Yeah it was it was weird >> Yeah I remember doing all kinds of ████ like cowboys and Indians and like we would dress up >> bro the ease of cutting cardboard paper or whatever and making your ████
9:17 feathers >> Yeah for Thanksgiving >> I know that ████ or like your pilgrim buckle like that ████ was so fun >> Like history wasn't a touchy subject before you just you were able to talk about history now it's like you got to like dance around a history book like someone's sleeping in the ████ room >> I remember I was like playing cowboys and Indians and we're all going and ████ like that >> You know what I actually think we should do? >> is um I think like the Disneyfication of history is wrong. I think we should from the get tell kids like this is Genghis Khan and he murdered and pillaged and ████ the ████ out of everybody. >> Which is what and you're probably related to him. >> If you look to your left your right one in 10 of us is related like that's the actual stat. >> So we should do that and and we should also it's okay to not necessarily have
10:07 to say but still tell the the truth of it. >> Did you guys see they found a shirt that was like ████ from thousands of years ago that Genghis Khan wore and it said wake up crush puss. >> That's dull. >> [laughter] >> It was like in tatters but they found it. >> #hustleculture he's the beginning he is the beginning. >> Hey you know what you're not going to see you're not going to see this in like Japan and Korea you know how you know what I mean like >> Nope cuz Japanese people deny it. >> No where else that's what I'm saying it's like a a American thing. >> Like if anything Koreans the old ass Koreans are going to be like talking ████ about Japan you know what I mean Japanese people. >> Then Koreans like have slaves most recently they still have slaves. >> The most unbroken chain of slavery in all of civilization. >> I remember seeing Bobby Lee get absolutely smoked on his podcast about that. >> Well he's not a history buff you know.
10:57 >> Yeah he's like we didn't have slaves like white people you guys had slaves and ████ and then they're like you need to look that up and then it was like yeah the most unbroken chain of slavery in history. >> Yeah like Wikipedia popped up. >> [laughter] >> If they want to do the true history that white lady needs to start in Africa where she gets kidnapped by a African and then and then the African sells her to him. >> But also down the street will be a civil war reenactment. >> Or dance maybe. I know what I know what I I know how I'm going to dress. >> Gray blue ball dude. >> Blue ball they called it blue ball? >> No the blue and gray ball. >> Oh, okay. The gray and blue balls?
