0:00 It would be the equivalent. I start and I go ding ding ding ding ding ding. So yesterday I got ████ up by police officers. Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. Today we're just going to watch this video cuz everybody has been sending it to us and they want us to react to it. >> Um again, there's no uh racial bias motivation in showing this. racial. >> I just think if you say something freaking dumb then um you get made fun of. Happens to us, it's gonna happen to you. >> Oh. >> Oh no. >> Oh. [laughter] >> Um so I'm Somali. Um I'm proud to be Somali. Um to me being Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice. It's it's a lot. >> Look at the Asian dude in the back. Uh for real.
0:50 >> It's [laughter] a it's an interesting thing. It's a It's very hard to describe what it means to be Somali and what it means to be American, but it's like a cultural fusion. It's kind of like the bananas and rice. You know, people don't really >> Asian dudes like, you know, it's it's a it's, you know, people don't think, oh, you can eat bananas with rice, but that's what it's like to be Somalia and American. It's like that combination of banana and rice. But you you you're going to get what I mean. >> Why does she keep saying the same thing over and over? >> I thought I was I thought I was watching a Instagram reel that just kept playing over and over again and I didn't realize. >> Cuz you said it's not like bananas and rice. >> My girl, >> it's kind of like bananas and rice. >> When she went um at the top, I was like,
1:40 "Oh, she's nervous." Cuz I know that feeling, girl. >> I feel you. >> I just like I don't understand why the Somali community are like, "You're playing from a deficit. You got to be real picky about who speaks for you guys. >> All right. What are you going to talk about? All right. I'm going to make a comparison about how being American and Somali is like Ben is rice. They're like, "All right, perfect." >> Yeah. >> YEAH. I'M LIKE, "COME ON, DUDE. >> ALL RIGHT, PERFECT." >> SHE HAD IT ALL ready to go. Like, they're like, "Let's get Rachel on. She's she's great. She's she's friendly. Everyone loves her, right?" So then Rachel like she gets up [gasps] >> and she has his ████ really planned out and then she freaking stumbles >> and then all I can see is that Asian dude in the back. Asian job with the hut. >> But how did she have such a like valley girl um tone? You know, like >> she's American. >> She start but she started off >> not sounding like a good public speaker before the words began.
2:30 >> They maybe just >> Oh, that ████ >> That's what I'm saying. >> That was going to be relatable. It was It was relatable. You know, >> I'm like out of all you guys, you launched her up there. Well, maybe she speaks the best English. >> Damn. That's a good point. That's a good That's a good point, though. She >> that doesn't that doesn't help their their their argument the whole Learing Center cuz maybe maybe she was a product of the Laring Center. >> That's what they're calling her. They're calling her the valid Victorian of the Laring Center, >> dude. >> Like you better put some really articulate, smart people if you want to show that that was actually not a fraud. I'm I I kind of feel like I'm in Nick's boat where like like maybe maybe she was given this concept this this speech of bananas and rice and killed it, right? And they were like, "Yo, [laughter] >> yo, you got to do bananas and rice." >> Yeah. >> But, you know, she was like ripping off
3:20 the dome. >> We were at dinner though. >> It was like organic, you know, [laughter] >> and she just smashed it. >> Yeah. And she didn't write it like off the cuff. It was dope. >> Yeah. Yeah. You know, organic. Just came. There was maybe bananas or rice on the table. She's like, "Yo, you know, honestly, He entered a zone when she said it, so she doesn't know how to bring it back. >> Or she she already used it up. Like you use it up at family dinner. >> Juices out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. >> Cuz sometimes when you're on a run, that's it. >> But when those lights hit and there's cameras there and >> that's fair. Okay. >> Her community's in the front where we can't see them and they're like, "Oh, do the thing. Do the bananas right." She's like, "Yep, she's she's going to tie it back around. Don't worry. She's going to >> I could actually realistically see that that's what happened. I feel like that's what happened. It didn't seem like she had something rehearsed and like she forgot her lines. It sounded like she was going to go off of something. >> Yeah. Maybe she just got mad nervous. Yeah. >> Yeah. That is nerve-wracking. >> The expectation was like so high to do
4:10 the same bananas and rice from dinner the other night. >> And you could hear it from the first line, too, when she's like, you know, we're not like bananas and rice. [laughter] It's uh you know, it's like, dude, >> are bananas and rice like a Somali thing? >> I guess I'm learning that right now. >> It's more than that. Okay. It's not just that. It's not that. It's >> now it's all I know. >> It's not that weird cuz don't Peruvians and Brazilians do that, too? >> Yeah. Bananas and rice is a totally normal >> for them. That's all it is. >> For Somali is more. >> It's more than that. [laughter] >> For Somali, it's not just What was she trying to say? Like, what was her point? >> Who knows? >> I think she was I think she was trying to express what it was like to be Somali. >> Wait, was that the whole thing? >> No, the whole thing's 25 minutes. >> Oh. Do you want do you want to see if she has any other like >> I >> kind of want to see what cuz her I'm
5:00 assuming the reason why she's speaking is to kind of just >> setting something up >> be relatable to American I don't even know what she's trying to do. [laughter] >> Like what's the point of the press conference? >> Um I think she's talking about how she was like take detained by ICE. >> Oh >> yeah, but >> why don't she just say that? Yeah, she should start with that. >> To me being Somali isn't just eating bananas with rice. [laughter] It's uh it's a lot. It's like um >> when you close your eyes though, you think she is a valley girl >> that I will carry for the rest of my life. >> She got hit in the head. >> And I am proud. I am proud to say that I've survived. I am proud to say that I stood up for what is right. And I am People are saying people are many people are saying including my family and friends that I will go down in history. And uh I will carry this on my shoulders
5:51 and I will I will carry it even though I am fearful. I am a bit anxious. I'm going to admit that I didn't expect this to happen. But um here I am speaking in front of everyone and there's cameras recording me. Um hi everyone who's watching me right now. Um >> all right. She's not too bad. No, >> she was really nervous. Getting >> better. Yeah, she it's very human. She's she's just explaining her experience by getting detained by ICE. >> ICE. Yeah. >> That's why she has a band on her head. Cuz that was my other question. Like what happened to her? >> Was it bad? Like they like viol violently grabbed her. >> I don't know. But she has a band-aid on her head. >> What if that was from like a curling iron or something? >> No. >> Kind of like the bananas and rice. You know, people don't really see like, you know, it's a it's a [laughter] it's, you know, >> Oh, that's what she says. Bananas with
6:42 rice. >> Three minutes in. >> That's what it's like to be Somalia. What? >> So, now we're going to get into the story of what >> the bananas and rice of everything >> here today. >> Do you want to hear the story? What she did? >> Is uh I I got kidnapped by Ice. So, uh Ice came to my neighborhood where my neighborhood is a very uh Somali neighborhood. It's a predominantly Somali neighborhood. There's many Somali that live here. And uh they kidnapped me. They they took me. They arrested and detained me for two days. and I was put in county jail. Um, then there was this uh ICE agent who uh called me a racial slur. So, um, with my skin color and me being a black person, I in in America, I go through a lot. I
7:34 go through a lot. I I see a lot. I I've experienced a lot of things. Um, I'm >> It's probably going to take a while. A >> she's just nervous, bro. Like she's shaking and ████ Like she doesn't know how to do a speech, you know? Like >> I'm I'm glad we watched a lot more to like really understand >> cuz if we just dunked on her for the ████ bananas and rice thing, I would feel real bad later. >> For sure. For sure. >> The whole context is very traumatic. >> Plus, the whole internet is is dunking on her because, you know, they're they're taking that post three minute segment. >> That's ████ up. >> But it is a really funny post. >> It's a funny thing to say. >> Out of context, it's really funny. Even then, out of context, I think she killed it at like a dinner speech, you know what I mean? >> But also too, like with how ser what I'm surprised by is going into this, I had no idea what the ████ we were going to watch, right? Which was part of the fun. But the other part of it is like if it
8:25 was so serious, I would have preferred her started with the ice story. >> Yeah. [laughter] Like just as a viewer me not knowing what's happening and me trying to get informed. >> Start with that and then at the end >> but what if but what if the ice story ends in a way that you need the bananas? >> Yeah, you're right. I don't know. I don't know. >> Yeah, she's got like a whole Dave Chappelle thing, you know? [laughter] It's like >> I mean hopefully now people are looking for the full video after the bananas and rice thing like we just did. Now we're watching the whole thing >> cuz everybody should watch the whole thing. If I did what she did, I'm trying to like bring awareness to some Chinese racial ████ like I got beat up by police. It would be the equivalent. I start and I go ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. So yesterday I got ████ up by police officers. People used be like, "Can you take the ding ding ding out?" [laughter] Just start with you got ████ up by the police officers
9:16 >> and then you know we'd be like [laughter] no you guys don't know Bart. Every time he starts his >> he likes to say the thing that's his [clears throat] thing. Yeah. >> [laughter] >> They said Somali eat bananas with every meal. >> Oh, their potassium must be hella good. >> Potassium. Yeah. >> East Africa and Middle East. Look, it's like uh rice and meat with onions and a banana. >> Does that mean mosquitoes also really like to bite them? I heard if you eat hella bananas, mosquitoes like you. >> Maybe cuz they got malaria in Africa, >> dude. >> Yeah. So, that story about how she was um kidnapped, it just says that uh that they're saying she was unjustly arrested by ICE and detained for two days with no legal representation. >> No clear answer why she was arrested. >> She's just been released, but she's not fine yet. She's shocked, devastated, traumatized, and she'll never be the
10:07 same. >> So, they don't even know why they picked her up. >> Sounds like a Yeah. What happened? Like, but this is like people have been reporting this over and over again of just ICE just picking you up randomly. her being wrongfully accused. So >> yeah, maybe there's more context to it later, but this is the latest thing on it is that um >> Yeah. So is she not a citizen? Because she sounds like she's straight from born and raised in America. >> Yeah. She's 23 from St. Paul. Yeah. >> And she's detained for two days. Like can't you just show an ID and be like, "B████, I'm Americ." >> Apparently the force of the arrest caused the concussion, which is why she's got that bandage above her eye. >> That's ████ up. Um, yeah. >> Brutalizing people. >> Maybe ICE detention centers are like car dealerships. You give them the ID, they disappear for like eight hours and you're like, "What the ████ is going on
10:57 back? I just want to know if you can lower the payment a little bit." >> Yeah. >> And then they're just gone for 8 hours and you don't know what the hell they're doing. >> There there was this lawyer that was talking about a lot of her clients that have been detained by ICE and whatever belongings you go in with, they take and you never get it back. So people have gold watches, gold chains, phones. >> That's crazy. Why don't you get it back? >> They stole it. That's so illegal. But this is why people are so upset with ████ ICE. >> It says that incident happened 11:30 a.m. on January 14th. There's a cell phone video that shows uh her being detained by federal agents in what appears to be a parking lot of an apartment complex. She says they were following two Somali men and then she asked the men to hold a door open for her. But when the uh ice like came through, they got all of them and she's just got wrapped up with it, I guess. >> Wow. Now sitting on this for double
11:49 digits of minutes. Do you have to be 100% correct now? >> I like her speech. >> Speech is good. >> Really? Why? >> Because you know like let's say she just gave her speech. I think you're gonna get less people caring enough. And sure, people are just gonna slip through the cracks and then just laugh at just that segment and not care >> to like watch a little bit more. >> That was me. [laughter] >> But also not though, but also not though because we happen to just be in a group setting of friends that are like talking about this and then dive a little bit further and then you're like, "Oh man." And it just kind of like opens your eyes a little bit more to like maybe what some people are experiencing. I think that's very helpful. >> You know what I get from this? >> What I get from this exact opposite. What I get from it would be like this. Dude, I just lost my whole family savings. Hey, I have this new investment. You want to listen to me on it? That's what I get. I'm like, bananas, bananas, rise, bananas. Okay,
12:39 she's not already not credible. Everything else she said, I'm like, um, if we're just going to talk about yellow fruits and ████ peel off and ████ I don't know if I could really trust anything else you have to say. >> If she STARTED WITH I GOT detained unlawfully for 2 years, I would have been like, what happened to you, girl? >> Yeah. But also, she was recently concussed. >> Yeah, I don't I >> and traumatized. >> I would still trust her story. >> That is true. I was thinking about that. >> She's 23 years old and just went through a traumatic experience. >> That might be the first time she's spoken publicly ever in >> 100%. I'm not a good person. >> No, but I think it's it's >> But he's talking about the pre-initial. >> The point is it's fair to have like dialogue so that you could just discover where you might want to land with your understanding [clears throat] of something that we have no idea about. >> And I'm glad we watched and we researched a little bit more. >> It's cool. Like I guess for the argument that uh ICE is uh detaining US citizens,
13:30 this is the one they're using because or one of the strongest ones because it says verified uh she is a Minnesota born US citizen. >> Shout out Minnesota. >> So does ICE then go we ████ up? >> Cuz if they admitted they ████ up it'd be really nice and I think a lot of people would be like okay cool. There's some sort of admittance of what's going on and then we're not just crazy. >> I feel like they usually don't. Right. And then you get political people like Christine Gnome doubling down and defending ICE and ████ >> Well, uh, but the the Christine Nome did make a statement, but it wasn't directly about this. It was just saying that even if you are a US citizen, if you are attacking ICE while they're doing their job, you will be arrested. >> If you are trying >> for sure, don't attack ICE people. >> Maybe they're trying to say that she might might have been doing something. But >> but but that's the thing is like they're bending the truth a lot. like like if
14:21 you're a political person, you could just say, >> "Yeah, like if you're an American citizen, you have to comply with whatever ICE asks, whatever, like whatever the statement is." But then now she's insinuating that she attacked her. >> Or maybe maybe it's something as small as let's say that you're like you had like a you know, like a cousin that was illegal and they're and they're taking your cousin in front of you and you're just like, "No." And that that right there is enough for them to be like, "Don't impede." >> And Exactly. And and that's why all these situations get escalated even more and they become like then the whole family gets picked or whatever the >> Well, cuz that's like the human reflex, right? If you're taking your family, you're going to be like, "No, don't wait." >> Yeah, dude. >> But it's like maybe they count that. >> No, I think they do. And I think they don't at that point they don't really care and then there's no due process so everyone just like >> I guess it is in the end exactly like >> bananas and rice rice. This
