  1. Fun fact: Black Americans complain more than any other Blacks despite being the most well off.

    • You do know that most countries view Americans as a whole as big complaining big babies right? But when blacks do it it’s a big problem Lmfaaooo I actually agree tho we complain but it’s gonna end one day and it will get very ugly when we finally stfu and ACT ON IT just like they did with busses when they refused to get on.

    • +Darnell S. you are half right. yes there is systematic racism but is not towards blacks its towards BROKE. you aint got no money the higher jew ppl dont give a fk about you. they dont care what color you are you got money they call you sir. you broke they give u 100 years

    • +Hair Hat Exterminator stop it, u know very well that racism is against black people across the world. Stop tryna change the narrative as if white and black people are have the same rights. White privilege till this day is still active. There is no discrimination against you people, if a white guy is broke in this day and age is because he is lazy and didn’t used his privilege right. If a black man is broke and got no opportunity, it’s nothing special, cause millions of other brother go through the same BS. So stop the lies and see it as it is. U white devils are the problem and will always be. Until all of you guys die. We can not trust u people. History has taught us that

    • Jeremiah Waldron in America? For 200 plus years? Written into the constitution? Jim Crow? Kkk hangings? Language, culture, identity striped from them. Raped and bred like animals? Blacks were slaves in this country longer than they were free. It ain’t the same bro.

    • No..were the strongest because we have endured generations of bullshit like this and still thrive.

  2. I think we have crossed into madness. It was a dumb looking sweater but it was not “blackface”. You can see the person’s face. How is that blackface?

  3. Cut it out it’s like the drake black face everyone was shocked an like how dare him but then went out and bought his next album same with Gucci….just watch you’ll see

    • Cameron the foolish don’t know that tho, and don’t care to know the truth. Leave them🙏🏽

    • Well said I was disgusted but Drake got out of it by talking s*** about he was doing a photo shoot on what it was like to be living as a black person in America still don’t understand the Blackface but he was right that a few days everyone’s hyped and then everyone will go back to wearing it I really hope we don’t this time because they’re taking the piss

  4. How is it that people don’t understand that they shouldn’t be doing anything remotely related to blackface.

    • +Ricky Hunt you where saying. Blacks are roughly 13% of US population [US Census Bureau, 2014], and yet they are:
      ~ 37% of our jails [Bureau of Prisons]
      ~ 41.6% on welfare/food stamps [Dept. of Commerce, 2012 report]
      **67% of single mothers are black [US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey],
      **43.9% of teenage births (whites are 20.5%) [US Dept. of Health & Human Services],
      ~ 37.7% of murders committed in US are by blacks [FBI Crime Statistics],

      ~ 11% of blacks are unemployed, while another 40% are classified as ‘not in the work force’ – that’s a whopping 51% of them which are not working [Bureau of Labor].

      ~ Of the 225,242 people who were serving time in state prisons for drug offenses in 2011, blacks made up 45% and whites comprised just 30% [Bureau of Justice Statistics]. Remember, whites are roughly 80% of the US population.

      How can 13% of the population cause over 40+% of the problems??

    • +Hair Hat Exterminator I didn’t say they were the number 1 consumers I said they were very important consumers. Many companies have been made by embracing and margeting to black people Sprite was struggling before deciding to embrace Hip Hop Culture now they are among the best selling Citrus drinks. Nike was not the juggernaut it is today until they teamed with Michael Jordan in the 80s causing a gigantic boom in their business and contributing to them becoming the biggest shoe company in the world. You can’t underestimate the power of black consumers.

    • +Hair Hat Exterminator You aren’t taking into account the socio economic condition behind all of that. Poverty is the biggest cause of Crime and blacks are inpoverished at higher levels which in turn leads to all of those statitics.

    • +Hair Hat Exterminator Considering you are just race baiting and clearly have racist troll inclinations This is where I leave you. I don’t have time to argue with pathetic trolls sitting in their mothers basement just spreading bullshit to people online. Arguing with you is like arguing with a flat earther its pointless you’re just a pathetic little man. Enjoy your miserable existence

    • Do you feel virtuous now? Do you feel morally superior now making this comment? I swear you snowflakes all want to be the first one to be morally outraged, I bet you do drugs and listen to rap music screaming about shooting people’s and saying the N word on a continuous loop, But black face is where you draw the line 🤔
