- I've been thinking and saying to myself but we're finally here and I think people are not accepting from what we knew from the very beginning. The content we've seen from both of them is minstrel and a lot of others have been doing content like this for years.

It's completely despicable pay attention to the larger message that it's Dis play n and sending pay attention to who his followers are and what they're thinking 🤔
He calls himself ’Big Groove’ now
Cardi defended them is a clear indication she is NOT one of us🤣 She may have Sub African DNA but that lady views herself different than your average black woman.
@@Imadeyoumad288 yep and Cardi is not black and I wish ppl would stop saying she is.
White and Asian people have African DNA as well.
They said Lizzo is a Minstrel show… but these dudes are blk boy joy ?? … make it make sense!!
It's misogynoir
Can you please say it w/a megaphone cuz I need for everyone to hear this.
@@m.d.1395 Now you know these men don't like Black Women they self hate is real and I'm tired of seeing the chicken boys
Good point
Exactly
I asked my grandma to watch the videos because she was apart of Jim Crow. She has been spit on. Sat on the back of the bus. Alot of people dont understand this was only a few decades ago we were fighting to be considered actual humans. My grandma was highly offended by these videos. She teared up a bit and she said What did we fight for if your generation just wants to tear it all down? He doesnt understand he is bringing us backwards not forward. 💔 The videos did trigger her and I had to apologize.
I am so sorry for your grandmother, Lesha.
Now I know for SURE that he's wrong for that! Smh!
🌹❤🙏🏾
😢 Gosh this makes me feel so shamed 😢
I hope your grandma is in a better mood ❤
i say this all the time ! my gma doesn’t even know how old she really is or her bday bc she was born a plantation . definitely not long ago .

Damn thats the first time ive laughed today
I was at this exact comment. Lol!
🤣🤣🤣
IT'S GIVING SHUCKING AND JIVING AND ION LIKE DET.🤷♀️
Clearly buck dancing!!!!!
Agreed.
A lot of those vines mocked black women. The vine creators would put on wigs and pretend to act ghetto. But the girls in the vines being praised were non-black.
It's a nice change for BM to mock themselves.
I still see this stuff with the wigs and stuff mocking bw it’s mad weird
Man, I'm glad that ish is outside of my algorithm
🎯😭😭😭
This! Because I don't even know who they are😭😭😭
Exactly! What are you watching for that to be in your algorithm? It's not in mine.
That part! The algorithm know better than to send that ish my way. So what these other folks looking at to be suggested? 👀👀
Same!!
Naming himself harambe after harambe the gorilla was just grooming his audience to call him a gorilla. It was his plan all along.
Alot of black men including the americans ones call themselves a gorilla.
But it’s okay when Cardi and Megan got all they fans calling themselves whores and hoes thots sluts and bitches. We hear black people use nigga with no issues and all of this is empowerment and all of a sudden this man don’t do nothing but dance and y’all all of a sudden know what stereotypical scripts and agendas are ???? Sick

@@nicolette0266 Yes they do!! Especially the athletes do

Biggroove knows this very well. He's no dummy.
Never payed attention to him, until the controversy. It’s pretty demeaning knowing the history and context of this type of stuff.
I knew it was something weird about it smh 😔😔😔but why do that smh
What also bothers me is the fact that Belcalis; a non-black Latina has the nerve to say there's nothing bad about what he is doing. She can be so ignorant at times. It's crazy!
@@JulianSteve She's super ignorant but so many Black's want to claim her as skinfolk. 😒
@@JulianSteve Right! I seen that too 😒
@@JulianSteve nobody has checked Cardi in person. I don’t think that she will ever be put in a position in order for that to happen.
I'm confused at black folks for taking into consideration what Cardi is saying when she's a caricature herself, of course she'd agree with it....I'm MFKN TIDE at this point
This isn't Black folks chillin' and doing us and being bothered by the unseasoned. The 2 guys King of Reads is talking about traffic in some of the worst stereotypes of Black folks.
Maybe because I'm reading Donald Bogle's book on Black stereotypes in film but... once I saw it for what it was, I couldn't unsee it.
@@m.d.1395 exactly...I'm so tired of people having to have this explained to them in 2023. They know what's right and wrong, they are making a choice.
@@kae7624 I never did like Cardi B or her music and she has no say so on what goes on with black people she need to mind her business and I'm sick of seeing the tap dancing food boys
BING BONG
Thissss👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥 she puts on a costume and a show every time she wakes tf up or turns that live on😂 this Bihh, who has euro parents, is really trying to convince a community we shouldn’t care about history or imagery bc these k00N$ are getting paid to be 🤡 or that wyte mfs, kolonizers and pillagers, are somehow the standard for behavior or anything fkn else 🙄🤦🏾♀️😬😭😂 idgaf about something being cool or not if wyte mfs do or don’t do it and she thinks bc she fks on blk peen that somehow makes her blk by blood and that’s comical and cringe AF😂😂😂
That discernment part is spot on!
Where there’s no pride, there’s no shame. I’m also not shocked that these are black immigrants.
If you do not mind me asking, what are their ethnicities? This is not okay.
Just like Fresh & Fit are tethers. These black immigrants are hostile and disdainful of FBA. They seek non-black validation and will slit FBA throats to get it.
@@JulianSteve Gorrilla is Nigerian.
@@stellabellafontay9366 When I go on Twitter and other social media the main group of black people I see acting slow are Nigerians. Seriously...anytime I see a dumb tweet especially by a black man I immediately click their profile all to see that pretty green/white 🇳🇬 flag in their bio☕️🐸
@@stellabellafontay9366 & chicken boy
This is absolutely why black history must be taught in full to our youth!!! I literally just finished reading a book by the curator of the Jim Crow Museum and this is definitely giving modern day Sambo 😢
Who is "our" youth? They aren't us. They're not even from here.
@@jkennedy8374 I stand correct in the term “our” because the black youth of America are seeing this content the same way we are. They don’t see what country they’re from they see black men acting out minstrel shows and gaining fame and notoriety…Also I consider myself a pan African so I care about the reputation and treatment of all blacks no matter the continent because colonialism has touched many areas that blacks have inhabited.
@@iBossStyle you didn't answer the question, and I don't expect you to... because pan Africanism is famous for failures, frauds, and incomplete ideas. These two guys people like them are tethers, and don't care for or respect American black people or our history. You can keep pretending you have something in common with these cretins. It's your energy to waste, but the idea that teaching these mfs black history will stop this goofy shit lol
@@jkennedy8374 I’m saying teach black history to our youth so that when they come across this type of material they will know where the roots of those stereotypes come from and know that this not acceptable.
@@iBossStyle again... your idea of "our" is unclear, and seems to include people that don't include YOU.
They need to make sure they're wearing their Nigerian flag while bafooning
y’all are so nasty & ignorant. chicken boy is african american, groovin gorilla is nigerian. so should one wear an american flag while buffooning or does it not matter now?
😭😭
THIS COMMENT NEEDS TO BE PINNED! 💯 lololol
When you peel back the layers and find out these folk aren’t even African American.
Also, the reason people put salt on watermelon or anything sweet is because it enhances the sweetness. My grandmother taught me that years ago when she was teaching me how to cook. That's why salted caramel is so popular.
I can’t stand salted caramel my tastebuds evolved
Tajin...
He’s so goofy . I’m glad there was a petition to get him cancelled.
What are you kidding me 😭 wow
But I bet if the he was online talking Gang shit it wouldn’t be a problem

@@breewillsnails3677 Why TF not Bree do you agree with what he did??
@@babygirla5717 what did he do? I'm not sure who he is?
It's embarrassing.. Something about him was always cringe to me and i'm a huge advocate of men just enjoying themselves. I knew where he was headed before he went there. The eating watermelon and dancing with chicken was no surprise to me.
I'm aging myself here, but all I can think of, is the movie "A Soldier's Story'. People are literally upset because his content was banned. In the words of Sarge, "Do you know the damage that one ignorant N*gro can do?" It is a minstrel show and I'm not here for it. Them not being aware of this, is baffling.
Americans are bad at reading satire and subtext. They are literally laughing at it because it’s entertaining and not realising the underlying theme and historical context.
@@mealovesyu I believe they know FBA history in America. These are the same black immigrants that say there is no racism in the USA and FBA should get over slavery and move on these the same people that says to their zaddys Black History Month should be abolished. They seem to try and undermine black us and eat up allow our resources
I just saw that movie last week that scene were sarge locked him up in the brig was good..the guy who played Sarge was talented
One of my favorites
Your locs look AMAZING
Halfway through your video I realized my face still looked like I smelled some hot chitterlings. This is why I take breaks from the whole internet. Sometimes I intentionally reset my lil algorithm by watching spiritual content for a few days. Your content is amazing… but sometimes I hold off on watching until I’m ready. Thanks so much for speaking up.
Now I gotta plan a conversation with my daughter about modern day minstrel shows. Low key, I don’t put it past any of these teachers to introduce the kids to this shhh.
Bro when I go to my sis house I be excited since the algo is refreshed. I watch stuff that I would never think about or even search. I thought I was the only one.
@@Geekmasterproduction That’s hella smart though!
As someone who’s not from Phoenix but currently lives in Phoenix. I personally hate it because when I see them come into restaurants. I instantly get annoyed. This is really a depiction of how a lot of black people act in Arizona 💀
Wait you've actually seen them?
🤣🤣🤣
I’m black in phx and ain’t never seen some goofy shit like this from black folk
@@chocolatethunda5261 I have 🤷🏽♀️
This is tea. What’s going on in Arizona?!
I like Cardi for the most part (I think), but I'm wondering why she's always so quick to speak on situations like this that involve the Black community. Of course, she can have an opinion. But you can't tell a culture of people that they can't be offended by something that patronizes their suffering, especially when you're not a part of that culture, but benefit from it tenfold.
Yeah she's always ranting online as if she's not a celebrity now. She acts like she's still on the pole
You need to ask yourself why you are attracted to anything cardi B has to say.
Because people like y’all like and support her…
She’s a black latina.
@@shizzlemywizzle1 Has nothing to do with the North American Negro. She’s an African mixed with a Spaniard.
Cardi is a caricature herself. With her colorist & tone deaf history, she just needs to hush. She claims it's no big deal, but you can bet your bottom dollar she wouldn't be comfortable with her husband carrying on like big groove 🙄🤦🏽♀️ She'd be disgusted & turned off. She's 30 years old which is beyond old enough to know better.
I’ve never heard of them before, thankfully, but this is so embarrassing. Wow.
I think what you're talking about at 9:00 is intergenerational trauma. It's been studied that people descending from groups that experienced collective traumatic events (Jews and the Holocaust; Native American displace/genocide; African slavery) passed the trauma down to their descendants.
Yes it's also called Buffoonery - I also feel most hip hop falls under the same umbrella because of the hyper sexuality and hyper violent lyrics and imagery. Only black people have this as a 'music genre'. Thank you for speaking on this intelligently Justin.
hip hop is different than gangster rap and other sub genres of rap. get the facts right first hip hop is not some one size fits all phrase for inappropriate music
have you never listened to rock music? So many subgenres of rock have the same issue
When I tell you I clicked so fuckin’ fast yall!!! I been waiting on this right here!!!
I clicked fastaa than this
Me too
Saying its in our DNA was the perfect description of how it feels when we see what we see i agree 💯

Period 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾
It honestly makes me sick. From the first video I’ve seen of his, it upset me tremendously. He tries to blame our shock on him being a body building “dancer”. . . No sir we are shocked & DISGUSTED by your behavior. If I was in a restaurant & he showed up, I’m leaving immediately.
@ 8:52 I've been saying this for years. Caucasians (some), suggest we get over the atrocities we faced at their hands but the trauma still lives in our DNA. It would behoove them to read anything about epigenetics and genetic memory that is actually embedded in our strands of DNA.
I had to unfollow this chick on Twitter today talking about she likes him! Like ain’t no way you can be a Black American saying that ish
I definitely noticed early and tried to IGNORE him. But this ain’t Joy.
I don’t even upset myself with these type of ppl…I block them or keep scrolling….it’s not black boy joy at all 😒🫠
NON FBA...NUFF SAID
We had to beg him to go from groovin gorilla to big groove he claimed he didnt know the symbolism behind it bc he is nigerian and loves the animal. Im callin bs maybe u didnt know about the gorilla name calling but the chicken eatin and dancing jokes are thrown at ALL OF US in the diaspora, knock it off.
Thank you for this. I just read a comment that he called himself a gorilla because he feels unattractive-still not an excuse.
I believe he knows more than he pretends to know. He's all about that bag.
@@stellabellafontay9366 never understood why THEM ppl called us gorillas and monkeys when they favor them more than us from the head shapes to flat lips lol but he def knew, they may not have to have daily racial discussions in NG like we do in the US but everybody knows the world tends to be antiblack
They know what they are doing. And NO its thrown at Black Americans. There is no dispora. After he gets done with crap its "oh I'm Nigerian" not Black. Black is synonymous with Black Americans. Just like that Nigerian Boxer he said " I'm NOT a N-Word. I'm African."
@@denisebycapricorn what the hell are you talking about?
@@denisebycapricorn you realize that all black people in the diaspora can be antiblack right? and their ignorant claims dont negate their blackness? shall we address waka flocka saying that he’s not black & his ancestors weren’t african- that his melanin comes from being native american only? meanwhile pushing out certain harmful tropes of the black community in his music. this brand of antiblackness is not unique to black immigrants. please stop with the xenophobia
I have been a listener of your channel for years now and I have to say it's such a breath of fresh air to hear you speak the real truth and I have found myself being elevated and liberated mentally I really appreciate your content. Thank you
I saw a 5 second clip of him and my first thought was dancing sambo and I kept scrolling because I'm was not about to entertain/celebrate something that reminds me of a black caricature
I came across one of his videos where he approached a black woman and was dancing around her trying to get with her & thought OK this is cute. Then he snatches off her wig at the end and it totally ruined the video for me. I can’t stand any video where black woman’s wig is snatched off. Why do we have to humiliate ourselves? I don’t think that’s funny. Anyway I got turned off from him just with that one video. It didn’t sit well with me.
The wig thing is definitely disrespectful
Jim Crow Content is a Bar!! But yeah he used to go by Groovin Gorilla and from the first moment I saw his content I could tell he was shucking and jiving for the palm pilots.. I swear we regress further and further by the day.
I'll name it for you, Dave Chapelle's show was a minstrelsy. He realized it, it gave him depression and he came back leaving it out and going harder on the misogyny and gay bashing. The joke is the marginalization.
This is exactly why Critical Race Theory needs to be taught in schools!! It will so all people (regardless of race) how harmful & frustrating these things are!
It’s interesting you brought this up…so I live in Puerto Rico and I went to a show where one of the dancers was in black face and his character was very much so giving mammie. The person you could tell was dark skin so the black face was odd. It was explained that within their culture black face is seen differently but I’m having a hard time processing this. Would love to be able to connect with you and get some insight on how to navigate this.
I had the same experience when I was living in Taiwan.
Apparently there, gods have black skin so when they do a black face in their shows is to pay respect to their gods.
Are there dark skinned mythological figures in Puerto Rican culture? One of my black cowokers taught english in several latin American countries in her youth. In the textbooks there were old fashioned depictions of black people with dark skin, big lips, and eating watermelon. So it was definitely racism and not gods.
@@jenniferk4190 What if religion is just the cover? I don't trust these mfs! Lol
@@jenniferk4190 That makes sense. I heard about a Japanese samurai who was worshipped for his skin. They had never seen a black person before. Samurai were highly regarded too. I wonder if it's the same religion
This ain't about respectability either.
It literally is though. It’s all ghetto behavior but we defend some aspects and cringe at others. When folks called out black women for looking dusty in their bonnets out in public they were dragged for promoting “respectability politics”. This is no different because it’s equally cringe and it makes us all look bad for the obvious reasons. It’s about being consistent.
@@dinkyboss THANK YOU 🎯 they love to cherry pick
@@noahzero9380 it i's not about respectability because we drag Black women for not being "presentable" in public, but this clown is allowed to shuck and jive in public and folks are defending this bullshit as "entertainment"

I don't know these folks. I'm just here to support the K.O.R.
I’m so glad you talked about this !! When I saw the video of him dancing going viral, something about it made me cringe! I couldn’t explain what I was feeling, but it felt wrong. It was definitely giving performing for white people😂
If I see other nonblack folks sharing that content, i will shut it down. You have my word on that.
"Jim Crow content" Im squealing 😩😂😂
Especially don't need a Non-black celebrity to tell us what to accept.
Calling yourself chicken boy shol' sounds like chicken George
In a perfect world, they’ll include an entire section of AA history on that Naturalization exam.
ALMOST BROKE MY NAIL TRYNA WATCH THIS!!!😂😂
I’m glad you decided to talk abt this because I’ve seen one of these men in Houston n it literally made my skin crawl
These 2 dancing for chicken and Keke Palmer flaunting being a baby momma yes the minstrel show is in full effect.
If he changed his name from “gorilla” he knows what he’s doing.
I recently saw this content on Twitter and found it disturbing AF. It be our own setting us back.
That last sentence 😭
The dancing guy is Nigerian, so he doesn't see himself in us.
B Simone did the same thing when she said she couldn’t compete with Dani Leigh because she’s foreign. As if it’s automatically better than being black! 😒
🎉 I signed the petition 9 times. They truly disgust me . Get them outta here
I need you on the news. The world needs to be aware
Yeah cardi B reminded me that she’s a white Latina after that video she made smh
When I first seen the buff dancing guy it was giving black face clown but I couldn't put my finger on why I felt that. He's definitely not the first black man I've seen dancing but something about him seemed off. And I'm surprised kind of reads and others felt the same way.
Exactly!
And this is a trend we see across the board, on every topic. Algorithms tending towards white and/or harmful content makers, and sleeping on folks like you who have some intent and integrity to what they do...all while conservatives howl on and on about being censored.🤦🏾♀️
We see it with the "manosphere" content as well. Channels like Fresh & Fit or Kevin Samuels get suggested; while people who are, often, TRULY trying to examine and make sense of masculinity for the benefit of both women, AND men -- F.D. Signifier, Khadija Mbowe, and Finntastic Mr. Fox...most folk I talk to have heard of the first grouping, but *not* the latter.
And with TikTok it ain't even the algorithm. They just let their employees pick what goes viral and gets attention 🤦🏿♂️ they ain't even trying to lie at this point.
I get very upset when I get lied on. That might be something about Black people being lied on and it costing us our lives
What happened, if I may ask?
@@m.d.1395 my manager approached me in an accusatory fashion and said, “Someone said you were gone for over an hour on your 15 minute break” (which was 100% false) & later I caught him watching the tapes back to see if I was lying (which I was not, he came back later to apologize) but nevertheless, the disagreement between my manager and I was serious enough for me to want to go home early that day, so I did
I don’t think these two are American black people. They’re making a mockery of us.
Black is black is doesn’t matter where it’s from when non black folks talk about black folks they are not talking about one particular group its literally all of us but guess many black folks don’t realize that.
@@babygirla5717 A lot of black people from other countries don’t see themselves as the same as black Americans so they have no problem playing up the stereotypes of black people. That’s why he doesn’t see a problem with what he is doing which is the problem.
…I truly believe we are in the twilight zone.
Don’t forget Tabitha Brown and her plantation voice…..she is also starting to do the “big eyes” thing too
Great commentary!!! I agree he knows exactly what he's doing and he's performing for predominately YT audiences!!! This is nothing but modern day minstrel show!!!
He’s figured out the Social media algorithm. He wants to get paid💲💲💲. He entertains white folks, with every stereotype that has been associated with black folk.
He is one of “good ones”. Just waiting to see the video where he is “drooling over white women” and letting a white kid “pet him on the head “.
CardiB is a caricature herself
Am I reaching or do we feel like Cardi is taking up for these men because in similar ways she was able to gain a following by acting in an overly black aesthetic way with being able to be a light skinned woman that is of Dominican descent, now don’t get me wrong love Cardi B & I don’t think that Cardi was “performing “ I do think that she has always been her authentic self but people that look like her can get online and act the way she does with the big long nails, popping her lips, and talking a certain way and people go up for it but a dark skin woman would not have that same privilege. @kingofreads am I wrong for what Im trying to say? Someone comment and respond to if this is an accurate point or am I not seeing it?
All facts, preach brotha👏🏾
I LOVE YOUR HAIR!!💕💕…. it has grown so much
Thank You for Speaking On This!!! Preach!!!!💕
I never knew why his content made me SO uncomfortable, but thank you for bringing words to it. It’s a reason why my spirit is SHOOK watching his content.
I’m glad you calling it out. I definitely was one of the people who was trying to give him the benefit of the doubt, but something about his dancing videos just didn’t sit right with me.
The traveling circus 🤡 😅
When I tell you I feel this in my soul. I can’t watch it to save my life. Never could, never would.
😂 My Credit goes down
the way I would walk out of any restaurant they walk in
Justin, you make an excellent point on how certain things trigger us as black people because of what's in our DNA from our ancestors. It's the same reason why I believe the black community is generally so strongly homophobic and why black women feel so strongly about not being in a relationship with a bisexual man. We're holding the shame and anger of witnessing "buck breaking'. The whole point of it was to belittle and shame the black man and portray him as weak and feminine to his woman and children. It's definitely something to think about.
💯..and look at who is perpetuating those stereotypes!!! 👀👀👀👀 unbelievable 😭
They actually empirically determined that there was no systemic phenomenon known as buck breaking. Did the male slave occasionally get sexually assaulted? Sure. But not the dramatized stuff the hotels are talking about…
Well those same men are showing us literally know different and know is making them do this so now what.
I’ve never heard of either of these dudes and I’m so glad
Thank you Justin! I don't even comment when he pops up on my timeline with his mess because I get called a hater. He's not funny-at all and I'm not shocked at the fact that non-Black's just adore him. He's doing thee most! 🙄
Great commentary. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this! I saw a couple of their videos and it made me uncomfortable/angry but I couldn’t put the finger on exactly why. Very informative
Ion know nun of these nicclets... Im just here to listen to our fav king. Justin can drop a video singing his abc's and imma be here for it! Heyyyy boo! 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
His videos always pissed me off and I didn't know why. It's definitely not hating black boy joy because there's a compilation video of black men frolicking that makes me smile every time. I can only stomach a few seconds of his videos. Never saw him with chicken or heard of chicken boy but I definitely noticed the lack of color in his backgrounds.
Topsy and Bopsy in real life.
I understand now thanks for speaking out
“ we can’t explain why but we know it’s not right “ 💯💯
I was waiting on you!!! Serve up that TRUTH Justin!!!! I appreciate you!!! 👌
Idk what happened over the past few decades, but we have truly failed to progress as a society.
Too many people defending ghetto, ratchet behavior and now it’s the dominant image of black Americans.
We were never progressing. This silly country is literally on a decline so I doubt will ever progress now. Many folks want this country to go back the same as it once was so what does that tell you.
Thank you so much for this. You and ThePlainestJane are the most spot-on about this dude.
Something about him makes me uncomfortable....
I believe this guy has white friends and this is how he behaves with them to be accepted. I think they gave him that gorilla name. He's laughing, but does not realise he is the joke.
They will do anything to be next to the clears. These are not FBA men.
Hey K.o.R,
I totally understand the struggle with this sort of content. There’s this level of uncomfortableness that comes with this sort of content that i experience. However, I am weary that policing it is somehow subscribing to the respectability politics is yearn to steer clear of. I don’t want to police black peoples bodies and actions because that is done so much so often, I as a fellow black should not be taking part too. However, they are not going to traditional black spaces to do these videos. They are talking in a distinctive voice, doing distinctive movements and using dog whistle like foods like watermelon and fried chicken. This may be for laughs but do they know or are aware of the stereotypes they are perpetuating and the history of these horrendous labels? Do they know what watermelon was to us during reconstruction ? And Jim Crow? To a share cropper? Do they know why we drenched horrendous cuts of meat in flour and deep fried it in order to make something edible from a cut of meat that wasn’t quite hitting for anything? Do they understand the gorilla implications and how that was used to justify American chattle slavery and painting African Americans as subhuman compared to the master race whites? Do they know and just not care? They getting their bags and couldn’t care less? That’s what I fear. Thanks for this content
I 2 let my grandmother see the videos & she said, "Im not surprised, BM been cutt'n up like this since i was a child"!
he is so 🥴…so embarrassing
