Bill Duke spoke to VladTV about being the first person in his family to go to college and questioning his views on racism after his school's president paid for his books, room, and food for his stay at Boston College. He also spoke about his parents wanting him to become a doctor and later an English teacher, but he couldn't walk away from acting after catching the bug.

Everyone needs to realize that there are good people and bad. That's it.
Correct, and that is the crux of this entire issue. It's about people, not legislation, and some things will unfortunately never change, no matter what. You just have to understand that and be the best person you can be, period.

Exactly.... i have a niece that is half-black (i’m white, my step brother is black) and it kind of pisses me off and make me angry to see all these racists comments from both side. At the same time it makes me feel fortunate having grew up where i grew up (Montreal, Canada).

Start judging people by their character not their color. Scum comes in every color and honorable people come in every color. Color does not make the man or woman, the person they are does.
Well said.
I agree. If only a certain group of people in the USA that were in power from 1776 till now felt the same way. If only.

Im tearing up with him. I’m so glad someone helped him out financially for room and board. I love all the movies he has done. Such an amazing person :)

The dry shave scene in Predator: one of the most tension-filled, bad-ass scenes in action movies.
Seriously.
cook
Totally was. “Imma have me some fun” He was great in that movie.
"I'm gon have me some fun!" I'm gon have me some fun!" Then the predator kilt him. Mr Dukes was no doubt a bad ass. My Man!
My heart still skips a beat when that razor handle snaps...
I like how he is honest enough to say he was racist toward whites, there is a ton of it now, but people act like you can't be racist if you are black. It isn't a one way road, all races can be racist that is facts. Trying to change the definition of racism just shows that most people are ok being racist, but not ok if it comes their way.
I fucking hate that. Saying a certain race can't be racist IS racist. It's so dumb and people need to cut that bs.
JAY SAVAGE it’s bigotry haha and now I just bigoted myself
@@jaymills6691 I say this every day! And....having special rules or laws that exist to favor a specific race (s), by nature is RACIST AND DISCRIMINATORY. The ACLU is friggin racist anddiscri.inats against whitey. The white guy is THE most oppressed group out there.
The whole argument of races is racist itself as it's saying you are of a different race than other people just from color which is incorrect your ethnicity and nationality does not change your race you are a human plain and simple.
@@CountDraccula I can tell you're young. Come back to your comment in 10 years and see if you agree with yourself.
I always really liked Bill Duke in anything I've seen him in, but he's clearly a very refined and well-rounded "guy's guy", like the kind of dude you want to go have a cigar & bourbon with for several hours and just hear his stories.
I can't imagine what it must have been like to live through that as a child. I pray that our country doesn't not fall into this kind of atrocity again. It sometimes feels like the government is pushing for a revival of this kind of separation. It's pretty damn disheartening.
Democrats have a self-sabotaging nature.
Its the left that pits white people and black people against each other
@@allaboutthemurzic very true the liberals and democrats built their power through slavery and segregation. And they are definetly the ones fanning the flames now as well.
It will fall but it will be against white people it's already happened in London
white men are not welcome

Mr Duke was a passenger in my Taxi in Vancouver, Canada in the late '80s and being a fan of the Predator movie recognized him right away!!!! He was very nice, we talked about that movie and why he was in Vancouver etc. It was a short trip so I decided not to charge him, but he still insisted on tipping me which he did so generously!!!! A Real Gentleman!!!
Bad......ass.
you gave him amount of respect that not to many would have
Taxi driver:
"Thanks for the big tip Mr. Duke!"
Bill Duke:
" . . . a n y t i m e . . . "
Obviously no signs of racism from him
That's an awesome story! 👍👍👍 love that movie.
What a fantastic true story!!! I’m white and my oldest friend is black and we’ve been through some tough times and always had each others’ backs. It’s all about the morals of the individual....
Theoracle Theoracle im gonna have me some fun tonight...
Caesar Vespasian im gonna have me some fun...
truthornothing anytime lol
Its sad.....not all you white people are bad....sad people are people
Your "Black friend" is a sell out! I'm 100% sure you'd throw his Black ass under a bus at the drop of a hat.
A real stand up brother. I wish you get everything you want in life and more,sir.
I went to Dutchess Community College from ‘03 to ‘07 , and I’ll never forget this story. I remember seeing and hearing that Bill Duke went there and was a performing arts major (sadly never met him) Im a big fan of menace and saw get rich or die trying in theaters excited he was in it. Anyways, I was struggling the first couple years and I took this social issues class in 04, 05. I struggled in that class and the professor totally concerned about me. I had an F mid semester, and she told the Bill Duke story to me about his situation and what his professor did for him, that inspired me to pass the rest of my social issues tests and finished the semester with a C. And it led to improve my GPA up from 1.9 and finished with 2.7. Leading to my graduation in 2007. Thank you, for my social issues professor and the spirit of Bill Duke for the motivation and inspiration for me to accomplish a goal cherished to this day🙏🏾📜
The irony is evil hates all mankind. But we as humans still feed the hate that we could have let starve.
spot on!
That's what Im teaching my children. Its just people who are full of hate causing all the problems. They won't survive their hate if they don't learn to love.
i always say, whatever you feed you make stronger. whatever you starve will eventually look elsewhere...
That's beautiful
@@vanniyoung1 And it's sad that those people are getting all the attention. I guess there's no money to be made or no votes to be gotten by focusing on good people.
There's good people and bad people in this world, we will never get rid of the bad, it's up to us to be the good.
All we can do is control ourselves. So if we want less bad people here we need to be the good people. Fighting anger and hatred will never result in less hatred. So we have to be kind and compassionate to those people who hate us. Because hating them only confirms their bias. Love not hate❤️
That is brilliant man, I'd like to pass it on
Jonathan Ardoin agreed
Always has been good vs bad. Spiritually & mentally
You nailed it.
That was a good moment in Bill's life I'm glad it happened 🙏
He brought tears to mine eyes relaying his blessing upon him.
"In those days you did what your parents told you to." It's almost as if having a mother and a father helps you succeed in life.
It's not almost everyone needs guidance. That's what parenting is about. I am so proud that my 2 kids are doing so well. But I work Hard and taught them. If you don't spend the time with your kids. Your kids will never find the way to succeed. That's what the problem is today. These children on set up to fail.
Epsilon so people who are adopted or anyone who doesn’t know anything about their ancestors are doomed to fail is what you’re saying
Eeo took 400 years to pass did that have any effect?
@Epsilon bull crap. 400 years of discrimate by white America is the problem
It does. Even as a single parent there has to be a male and female presence.
My coworker (who happened to be black) some years ago found out I was broke after having to get my car fixed. I had no food, couldn't pay my rent, I was financially in a really bad situation. He asked me to come over to his place after work one morning, so I went to his place. His mom had made a huge breakfast and they invited me to eat with them. I was so surprised at that alone. Then before I left, she gave me a huge box full of pasta, canned food, etc. and that really hit me hard. I was getting ready to leave and got in my car, my co-worker came running out and gave me 200 dollars. I will never forget that and I keep in contact with him to this day. Sadly, his mother passed away shortly after. She was an amazing woman.
I was never racist to begin with but it definitely gave me a new hatred toward ignorant assholes.
Sounds like a lovely family, happy you are blessed to have them in your life.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER SURVIVED WITHOUT THE BLACK ANGEL LADY WHOM HUGGED ME IN A DOLLAR TREE...SHE SAVED MY LIFE...I LOVE HER...I LOVE ALL GOOD SPIRITED FOLK...YET NO MERCY NOR TOLERANCE FOR EVIL...RACISM IS EVIL...HEAVEN KNOWS NO COLOR AND JESUS DIED FOR ALL...😇😇😇PLUS...MY GUARDIAN ANGEL MR AMOS IS BLACK...AND HAS BEEN SEEN...YES...HES MY PROTECTOR...MY FRIEND...MY ANGEL...😇😇😇😇

@Sean T he didnt. Youre right. Because theres black guy out there who had the similiar experience he had except with a white guy. And same story. Just reversed. If he calls out ignorant assholes of all races then hes on the right track. If its just other white people and hes a race simp we not may but certainly have a problem!

“2021” needs more of this kind of love for one another. What a humble and beautiful person Mr Duke is.
What a beautiful story. He is a great actor. Always steals the scene and brings back so many childhood memories. Thank you for being a part of them. Bad and good people everywhere. No such thing as race. I salute you good sir. Thank you.

He’s 6’4” & looks the part he played in Predator-a badass soldier or something but he seems so gentle and kind.
Yes, I didn't recognize him but I knew I had seen him somewhere. That was a great role and he played it well. Believable. That was it.
I know I had to look twice...the years just pass us by
Kenji Mapes Thanks mate. I couldn’t place him.
I'm gonna have me some fun!!!!
@Kenji Mapes it’s called acting.
Oh man it's so weird seeing actors that I haven't seen in movies 20+ years before an interview like this. He's so much older than I'm used to seeing him as. It's awesome that someone recognized his potential and invested in it. I hate how much the academic community is dragged so much in this day and age when so many of the people involved in it are doing what they do for exactly the right reasons. I also love listening to Mr. Duke speak about his life. He's very enlightened when it comes to the philosophy behind the craft he practices.
He had a pretty important role in CWs black lightening. He still does some resent tv shows
The academic community dragged so much these days because most of them are indoctrinating students, whereas in those times they where there to teach them and more importantly show them how to think for themselves
I've only seen him in Predator.
The intention of the educator is still pure. It's the criteria of the academic sector that is appalling.
It's amazing how successful some people have become by simply being guided by a singular, individual character in their lives that defined how they choose to push themselves beyond their wildest dreams with our modern academic models.
Teachers are the amazing ones, not the educational mandate.
Teachers aren't even trained enough for the job, but they make the best of it anyway. The best of them are only as good as their ability to adapt their methods based on each and every individual student.
Still instantly recognisable as the dude from predator though.
Beautiful example of people showing love & respect to each other, people need to realize we’re all human, we are all special and made unique by God!
There are those of us who see a man’s character not his color.
True but SO MUCH of America is racist in all sorts of ways
Bob Karigan Character is the only way Martin Luther King, Jr. wanted his children known! Skin color is merely a “Color Continuum” ... some of us are very light to very dark ... inside we all bleed red! All individuals should be treated with respect until “that” individual demonstrates otherwise!
Thomas Smith we’ve elected a black president, twice. 🤔
Thats true, but some racist don't even consider black people as being human, how can you begin to see his character, when you refuse to see him as a man?
I judge ALL people by their character..... what they show me determines whether they are a good or bad person.
Agree, it is not just white on black, I have witnessed the other way and other races as well, it high time we wake up to the fact we are all earthlings and start taking care of each other and our planet before Mother Nature bites us but hard.
Bill Duke's performance in "Predator" is one of the reasons that movie is so great.
Great man.
His performance as Abdul in Car Wash is even better.
Spot on.. him and Jesse stole the scenes!!!
@@Ironcabbit he should have got an Oscar for his role in commando.. "this green beret is gonna kick your ass'". Amazing dialogue.
Gonna have me some fun!!!
Predator's strength is that all of them are great characters.. it might have had Arnie as the star but he was just one of the dirty dozen in thet awesome movie.
1:58 he is still, after all of these years, shaken and touched but this act of kindness
I was a teenager when I saw an obscure goofy movie called "Car Wash" (I just looked it up, 1976 so I was 13) I have NEVER forgotten the character Bill Duke played. It was a just goofy movie with lots of little vignettes and I was just a goofy kid looking for laughs yet the pain of the "sax guy" was forever imprinted on me. THAT is talent.
As a southern raised white male I genuinely respect ever word of this man. Let us not bring hatred upon each other, but understanding.
the last sentence in your statement is near perfect, respect to you
+The Wolfio only the last one?
not only the last one just that one in particular
Thanks homes. Just speaking my mind.
thank you for your words, i wish more people were as compassionate and understanding.
I think a lot of people are missing the point on this one.
This isn’t black/white. This is respect. Some one saw something amazing in another. They recognized they needed to help this person continue. Not for their own good but the good of this person and others.
This man was helped bc he worked his ass off, ignored the assholes and had some thing special to offer. He earned the respect of another and that other person responded. That goes beyond colour or anything else you can stereotype.
Matt Fraser thanks for stating the obvious. Today, most people never see the truth in anything....except their own “personal truth”.
Well it is about white/black, and it's not. With all the open, and accepted hatred we're seeing at present, many people need to hear stories like this - because most white people are NOT racist towards blacks. And most of them just see black folks as people - like the professor in this story did. The white/black part of the tale SHOULD be seen as an irrelevant, and rather unimportant detail - but right now I'm afraid it's very important.
We can all be respectful even if someone doesn’t earn your respect. I think respectfulness is really important.
Unfortunately there will be people that will see this as "white guilt" and still say that the one who had helped him was racist af
@@pentifexmonolith - Well... yeah....you just kinda did.
I loved this piece, met Bill 41 years ago, I used to run with his nephew Or Cousin, so long ago, he stayed in the Wilshire district in LA, he was the coolest nicest man and his mother was so nice, she would make lunch for us, great memories
His part in Menace II Society cemented him as a legend in Pop Culture.
Don't forget predator, my son.
I’ve seen him in many movies for many years. Usually playing a badass, never knew he was so soft spoken
This just shows how good of an actor he is
Many of his characters were scary and soft spoken
Hell yeah. I was gonna say... A lot of his characters didn't need to raise their voice. 😆
I thought the same wow so humble!!
Personally the only movie I saw him playing in was 50 cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin', and finding out how humble he is versus his role in that movie is shocking haha.
I'm 50, and I remember Bill Duke being in those 80's action movies with Arnold. If this interview is a fair representation of his actual character and personality (which of course it is), then I have a whole new appreciation for his acting skills. Always played the heavy, and played it well. His personality couldn't be more of a polar opposite. Love this guy.
"You Ghostin'me M'fkr!, You maybe someone out in the world, but give my position again , I'll bleed you, real slow"
Right on.
He was good in Menace II Society as well...
The secret to acting is to first be born with a face that's unique looking and elicits emotions from the viewer. Second is then playing to your face or polar opposites.
Hence he'd be a difficult sell in a Romantic comedy or a children's movie.
@@GrzegorzDurda You are so very correct.
Do you hear me? This is a beautiful story. I am getting a lump in my throat.

I love the characters he helps create. Always a joy to see him work.

Really stupid.
They dont want to see the comedy stuff, but think the various housewife reality shows and macho thug movies are ok.
Dont portray a comedy skit, but a drug dealer with a gun is honorable.
A friend of mine a Black man whom looks allot like this man, he said his Grandmother told him to deal with people on an individual basis. She told him always remember some of those white peoples Granddaddys died for your freedom..
Some of those white and black grand daddies are also your grandadies, especially since most white and black Americans have up to 30% of different races in them. Just cuz u don't have the same colour doesn't mean you aren't literally biologically related.
Yeah but this dude was still racist towards white people, that is until they gave him a shit load of money!
Sick of the race baiting left. A white person admits he was racist when he was 12 and the far left ruins his life when he's a redeemed 55 year old. Cancel culture is the new leftist scurge on society. We can't just live in peace.
@Amed Tajan peejuice? nasty!
My grandmother always said, other Blacks sold us to the White men.. but then after they got to know us.. more and more White people saw that we were smart and deserving of freedom.. and if not enough White people had felt that way.. we would still be slaves. My grandmother visited Africa, the MiddleEast and more.. She loved the USA .. and her Lithuanian Jew husband... she was born in 1899 , got married in 1926.. Somehow, in N.J. ....it worked out, even then.
I am very happy he had someone who cared so much about his education other than his family. If you give a person a chance you might be pleasantly surprised. He seems like a nice kind thankful man.
I was just thinking about him in the movie Predator. I was shaving with a razor that ate my face up. Glad to see this gem. Keep posting these and I'll watch, ... "Anytime!"
I bet there are millions of such stories like this one across America.

What a wonderful quote
This guy was awesome in the original Predator movie.

lol knew I'd seen him somewhere, didn't get to dee choppa
You noticed that, too? Nice.
And what about being the green beret from Comando , with arnold shwarzinigr ! Way before Predator
Completely awesome!!
I was having lunch and he was at the next table. I went over to talk to him. (My acting teacher , Arthur French was in Car Wash with him.) He is a beautiful, gentle man. The cool part is he wanted to call Arthur about a role and I had his phone number. It was a great memory for me and a real treat to meet him.
He’s probably the best actor in predator!
He played that part so well.
"I'm gonna have me some fun" Bill played that part, agreed!
Bill Duke often played these tough, hyper masculine types. However he really comes across as these peaceful and gentle soul. He’s an icon In his own right.

In reality that isn't always true, when dealing with bad people you have to speak to them in a language they understand, most of the time that language is violence.
@Vasilijan Nikolovski I said its not always true, words might work sometimes. The difference is bullies are violent to innocent people where as good people are violent to people hurting others.
Yeah, and he was shot... the dream died, and now we live in a world where everyone hates everyone else, love is considered a weakness, and kindness is an actual criminal offense.
@Vasilijan Nikolovski Half true. Not standing up for yourself at the level your opponent is willing to go to is nothing more than self justified cowardice.
Something that has cost us a huge amount of good in the world over the last 50 years thanks to the self justifying cowardice of conservatives in their not standing up to the very things litteral millions of our forefathers fought and died to keep from getting a foothold in this or any country to begin with.
There is a time for turning the other cheek, but not when someone keeps pushing you down and taking what's rightfully yours over and over and over with full intent to take over your life and world because you will let them if they just keep at it long enough. Only self justifying cowards don't understand that concept.
I'm openly left of center old school liberal and the two things I hate more than anything in the world right now are the far left and the self justifying cowardice of the conservative right who will not help stand up to those people when they really need to right now.
Of the two at least I can at least give the far left credit for fighting for what they believe in even if all it will do is kill millions upon millions of good people when they get their way. The conservative right doesn't even do that knowing full well what will come when the left gets what its after.
@OhMyBot War = Big money.
My families were from the racists South, the 20s, 30s, and both moved to L.A. in the 40s, because there were tons of jobs because of the war. They taught to be proud of who I am, but never to dislike anyone based on who or what they may be. My high dropout mom said, "Don't ever repeat the ugly that you see in this world, regardless of the source." Those words have served me well.
That's solid advice.
When you said ugly I knew your story was true southern
My mom would say "don't be ugly!"
My dad taught me the same... to help whomever I could and leave ugly people to God, never hate anyone ...

I saw Ain't Supposed to Die a Natural Death with Duke and Garret Morris. Still one of my most favorite theater experiences. Saw it twice.
It’s 2021 he is 78 and you know what it is crazy how long he had been around and been in our favorite movies he is well spoken and great to listen to god look over our legends 💯
The smile on his face when he speaks of Dr Hall. It’s the purest kind.
So true. He is so sincerely happy remembering that moment.
Didn’t Liam neeson admit stuff like he did,and people didn’t like him admitting it,and he changed after,it’s the same hey.
I kept noticing him saying his "parents". Having a nucleus family is absolutely the most important first step in becoming successful. I dont mean successful money wise I refer to having the foundation to succeed in life. Both parents should be present to give you guidance in life not the government.
And that's the truth!
@ I don't care about their sexual orientation. What I do know is that blacks cannot truly survive and produce noble human beings without an extended family system. It is crucial.
@ Radical Marxists? Do you think that universal Healthcare and education are radical marxists frameworks?
Angel Roman , AMEN 🙏🏻
Education maybe should be a service like emergency services. Don't really see where it's innovative. Healthcare is different.
As a young man from a small town with some past race issues , I moved to London when I was 19, I was admittedly small minded until my mother was diagnosed with cancer, the people who looked after me were A very strict Muslim family of Afghan origin, and I felt ashamed that I had ever thought bad of someone because of their skin tone, I hope all people with a small mind can get this sort of epiphany, it changed my life

Exactly, I just wish we would call women and females out on their crap like we call black people out on their crap, because women and females operate the same way that black people operate, and the same crap that women and females give men and males is the same crap that black people give white people. Not all white people are bad, but not all men and males are bad either. But you get more support calling out black people, whereas you get more flack and backlash calling out women and females. I also wish that women and females would question their hatred toward men and males like black people question their hatred toward white people.

What an admirable interview. I have a lot of admiration for Bill Duke!
You meet good and bad people in your life. They both stand out.
Amen
That look and.those eyes are so classic.
@Juniper x racist fuck.
Many bad events have passed and will continue to make their way into history. It doesn't mean that all people of any race, creed, or color support those events. We are not each other's enemies.
Islam teaches this before you be like look at this and that I repeat Islam teaches true equality and NOT MUSLIMS. malcom x speaks on this also as he USED to hate whites too.
Vim, FUCK MALCOLM X. He's a bum, who rode MLK's coattal. MLK was a TRUE person for equality and a CHRISTIAN. Islam is trash, fake and was invented over 600 years after the Bible, like all religion after Christianity.
MLK : Freedom and equality for all.
MALCOLM X : Let's separate blacks and whites.
But the bum ass nigga had no trouble following MLk and dick riding. Then when MLK died, that nigga shitted on what MLK started, SMH.

An eye opening moment for sure 😊 Dr Hall helped give us Bill Duke
I love this story, beautiful honest person
Here is a man in his 70's recalling a story that happened about 50 years prior and he was emotional talking about it. Kindness goes a very long way.
The stories he tells about the opportunities he had is incredible for the 60's.
The 60s were pretty nice actually, and there were opportunities for "anyone" that was willing to work for what they got.
Col. Allen West stated that when he was born in 1961, 77% of black kids were raised by a father and mother.
He also stated that today 74% of black children are raised by a single mom. He's right, I remember and I'm older than him.
@@larryl1427 lol there weren’t opportunities for everyone lol see this is why I hate whites
There's a good reason why Bill Duke comes off so damn cool onscreen. He's just a cool dude. smart and cool.
Yes he is a very friendly and respect dude I worked at the condominiums he live at two years ago and would see him every day and he would tell me have a good day my friend a every day and we talked a few times he as really nice
Hello 👋 my friend, and also wise to recognize favor and eye opening insight and revelation.
Clearly not intelligence, but a good demeanor.
Nice. All it took was a check for him to question his racism. So heartwarming
There are families that talk about their skin color and pass it down, generation after generation. Constantly talking about your skin color only creates division.
Who the hell dislikes a video like this? Pelosi is that you
Right on
Lol. Nancy the drunk.😜😜
Maybe people whom realised that he was racist towards white people until they gave him a shit load of money! What a racist prick he still is!
henry the ounce Good stuff
henry the ounce Yeah, whoever dislikes this video has serious issues.
Hate does not get rid of hate, only love can do that.
@k halliday How else would you get respect other than with love, kindness, and empathy? Respect without those things can only be acquired through tyranny. And respect gotten that way is no different from making people afraid of you and hate you. Essentially, what you call "respect" is hatred in that context.
Munsters Kim The connections between other animals/primates and humans are not linear. It’s more complicated than just that. Humans are somewhat different and more complicated than other primates. Human females are much more selective and *tend* to stay with one partner for long periods of time once they find the right one through “trial and error,” sometimes even staying for life or until death separates them. Other primate females on the other hand do not care as much who they get fucked by; the alpha male chooses first and then the other males take the rest. Obviously, that is not how human relationships work and if you believe in that, then I’m sorry sir. At some point in your life, you are going to hit the brick wall of reality face first. I just hope you will recover from that. Maybe then, you will be able to have a stable longterm relationship with someone and not just aim for a fling here and there. God bless your soul.
Munsters Kim I agree. And your relative status does play a crucial role indeed. I think you may find a couple of Jordan Peterson’s lectures/clips on hierarchies and relationships between men and women interesting.
I could sit and listen to this man talk about his experiences in life all night.
I’ve always loved this guys acting, I hope to see more of him the future.
These are the stories that needs to be shared. Here it is, this BIG black man was able to let go of whatever hatred he had in his heart. Yes, there are bad people in ALL groups. Spread positivity.

AMEN 🙏🏿 BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER NO MATTER COLOR IF SKIN 🤛🏻 🤛🏻 👊🏿 👊🏿 👍 👍🏾👍🏻👍🏼👍🏾
Mostly white
Need more people with heart like him on both sides of this bs.
100% racism is a made up lie bs
Its marxist movement that has been fed by Universities to divide everyone into groups and split the unity of the country. Do you notice people are divided by sex, race, sex orentation. Notice all the liberal arts classes teach this victimhood instilling anger etc. Against each group.creating activists in every field. Its to bring down the country to put forth socialism. Its infiltrated the media its coming to your workplace. The left has been infiltrated by this Dems are no longer your.mothers or grandfathers dem party its been taken over. All the stunts they have pulled sending people to rallies the media xreating a racist narrative. Censoring people that have different polotical views, Univ protesting kicking out speakers for not being left calling anyone thats nit left a nazi or racist. Its all a lie. I am not for censorship or freedom of thought, speech and debate i will mever vote left again..
Great story. And "Up there in them trees. I see you !!!"
With inthusiastic appreciation for your story. Thank you.
Beautiful story. When we help one another without regard for skin color, we all succeed.
🎯🎯🎯🎯👍
Watch the internets boy. Couldn't smear him so they Epstein the f out of him for tracing climate change denial funding. Remember Gulf of Tonkin and all the people who died in Vietnam because of this lie, Iran-Contra and all the negative images people associated with the devastation of the African-American community, remember MK Ultra where they didn't give a fuk about anybody
When we help people without regard. **

A very intelligent man and a very talented actor
@Hudson Hawk6 hey who ever you were comment was for must have erased his post when I read what you post I looked at it a couple times figured what happened for you to reply these words I believe you were more than likely right don't change take care stay safe
I remember his role in American Giggilo. That was the 1st time I saw him. He was a cold dude in that flick. Fantastic actor & director.
Imagine how powerful we could be if we stood united. I wish this life was so different.
I remember going to Chicago when I was young and ran across a homeless man who told me he was starving. We went to a restaurant and we ate gyros and talked for a good while and in return this black man gave me so much knowledge! Later on I found myself in the same situation, homeless and hungry, got invited into a black man's home and was fed and given a safe place to rest for the night without having to even ask this man. That experience has stuck with me for my entire life after that and to this day I remember it like it was yesterday. Most people don't see you for your color they see you for your soul and your character! I feel like the entire idea of racial identity was designed to keep us divided!
Wow, that’s beautiful!!!
@@kristabistaify Yes! That was an amazing story, something we should try to practice and live by in our lives 😀.
We're all AMERICANS!! Let's stop letting them divide us by pitting us against each other.
Wrong. Learn to disagree. It is a maturity thing not a race thing.
@@markperry2827 I never said we need to agree on everything...no one agrees on everything if we did we would be like zombies or robots.Just because we have different opinions doesn't mean we have to hate each other 😉.But to your point,yes maturity does play a big role in having a healthy discussion.
Yep, proud to be a #FoundationalAmerican!
Exactly, I just wish we would call women and females out on their crap like we call black people out on their crap, because women and females operate the same way that black people operate, and the same crap that women and females give men and males is the same crap that black people give white people. Not all white people are bad, but not all men and males are bad either. But you get more support calling out black people, whereas you get more flack and backlash calling out women and females. I also wish that women and females would question their hatred toward men and males like black people question their hatred toward white people.
@Melissa Mari Exactly, it's not about race or gender, race and gender are illusions. Racism and sexism is the program. It's about one race, one gender, the human race, the human gender.
Great story.
Thanks
Thanks for this story
Hardly anything is as appealing as an accomplished man with a quiet humility.
Very true. He nearly broke down when mentioning how that white man helped him in college and how it changed his life
@Maxx Hammer Yes
What you’ve hit on here is the crux of an issue that has divided America. I understand racism. But most Americans are not racist. I am not racist. But what most Americans & myself are is very down on anyone or any group that brings attitude to the front of every discussion or disagreement. Part of that is cultural for some groups but most of it is a lack of respect for others with an assumption that anything less than “in your face” is a sign of weakness. That could not be further from the truth as displayed by this man. A lack of a strong father figure in a family has the ability to instill the respect that allows different cultures to interact without attitude. It’s the attitude that brings out the conflict that is always perceived as racism.
An example of how attitude has changed our culture is displayed on the grid iron. There was a time when a player who scored or made a good play would dust himself off & get ready for the next play. Some of the old couches used to preach,”Act like you’ve made a TD before…no Show Boating”. But these days every score or good play gets punctuated by fist pumps & in your face gestures of disrespect to the other team. That behavior is now so ingrained & accepted that I doubt it will every change. But that behavior translates to society at large & sets the stage for confrontation when there are no refs to throw a flag
I coulnt agree more
CNN, NBC, ABC, MSNBC would never have him on to discuss this story. It doesnt fit the narrative.
Joe Gallop The leftist media has turned “racial justice” into “do exactly what we say or we call you a racist and you get punished”
Joe Gallop fair enough. I guess neither side is good when it comes to this problem. Great job on the explanation too, it was very well thought out.
So true, seems the MSM is truly the enemy of the people.
Truth
Bunch of kunts
I Love this dude! His Acting, and his Person.
Always 🤩Love 💗 Bill Duke🥰
Why hate all people because of some? Lots people have bad things happen to them from all races but the smart ones know that hating all because of a few will only hurt you in the long run.
You talk about smart ones. But how many people living in impoverished conditions get the luxury to be smart when they are just trying to make it by? All they get exposed to is the hate of another race. Of course they are going to see a pattern and get the message.
Intelligence is too often used as the next bar of judgement and discrimination, but people don't realize that education is a luxury not everyone has. It's not better than judging them for being poor or having another skin color.
@@Icewind007 Sorry but you are coming across condescending to a lot of us who experienced being poor minorities. A lot of do not feel intelligence is a luxury. Neither is common sense. If you belong to a minority group you will see good and bad people even within that same group. Would you then assume people in your group are good or bad? Regardless of intelligence level, which is subjective as a concept in itself, people have to make up their own minds. Unfortunately, the current liberal education system encourages victim culture, racism, and inherent self hatred. I am a minority who experienced severe racism and even violence. This came from Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, and even Asians. I also experienced positive things from each of those groups. Should I love, hate, or have no beliefs about those groups? If you believe 9 blue people hate you but then 1 blue person treats you with kindness then any prejudice you have should be against those 9 people regardless of their color. Right now people are grasping at any argument to feed a shaky premise. Racism comes from all colors, all creeds, and all groups as does kindness and fairness.
@M B Because of where I came from and where I am now. Im just trying to help someone else. The reason i quit school in the 9th grade is because I was one of about 20 whites in my entire High school. and Trust me I wasn't treated well. But I dont hate all for the way I was treated because i know that will only hurt me.But hey maybe I am smarter than most.
@@stephenr1999 Yes! Notice how whenever a former racist tells how he changed his ways it's always because of an experience with said race that they hate? That's because people assume all people of one race are the same, until that one person proves them otherwise. We humans are so fucking dumb by nature and it's insane, it's not hard to tell at all that we descended from apes because it really shows.
@@stephenr1999 Man that is really good to hear I'm glad that you're doing well and all I can say is that there's bad people in every race. It takes a big person to see past their surroundings.
I love everyone who shows respect manners and love. Race doesn’t matter if you’re cool you cool
If you’re cool, you’re cool 🎩
Amen
Vall91 Jp1 unvr hes an ungrateful little whelp
The mic should drop with your response. Perfect world wide...
@Vall91 Jp1 he was kneeling in response to police brutality against poor people
you can learn a lot from honest conversations like this
I love hearing stories like this.......becuase there are so many good people in this world. We seem to hear more about the bad ones.
