White philosopher and black philosopher record a heated parking lot argument where the white man accuses black people of being a societal problem due to alleged lack of work ethic, gang associations, and self-inflicted poverty rather than systemic racism. Citing his own past anxiety over loud music and contrasting black struggles with successful Vietnamese and Nigerian immigrants, he argues that Barack Obama's election disproves exclusive systemic bias while claiming black Americans blame white people instead of controlling their fate. Ultimately, the segment suggests that black communities must emulate successful non-black individuals to overcome their economic disparities. [Automatically generated summary]

Working Harder Than The Next Man00:07:53
Yeah, I got a new show for y'all.
Man, we got a damn good show.
Damn good show.
We got ourselves here, a white philosopher and a black philosopher in the parking lot arguing about race, sitting in their cars.
Right?
I think the white philosopher won, though.
The black man, he had no counter-arguments, man.
He just kept saying, are you serious?
Are you for real?
When a black person says that, that means they ain't got shit to say.
You killing that nigga with facts?
Are you serious?
Oh, you can't be for real.
Oh, man.
What?
Did you crazy?
Hey, to give y'all context, check out the video.
You black people are the racists.
Y'all do things and you wonder why you're disrespected.
Are you serious?
Playing your music that loud and I can feel it in my car.
And I couldn't even.
Sound like he describing me back when I was 19.
I had this gill tracker with some six by nines in it.
Oh, man.
I could hear Keith down a mile down the road.
I could hear Keith a mile down the road.
I said, keep getting close.
I had some two parking biggie bumps.
What you had, like two six by nines?
I had two six by nines.
I had a geo tracker.
Oh my God, man.
I remember being in your car.
He turned them six by nines on.
Feel like somebody had a damn defibrillator.
I was like, oh my God, this is crazy.
But when I was that age, man, that shit sounds so cool because everybody looking.
Oh, man, what he got.
He got him on a dope ass system.
Yeah.
All the niggas looking.
All the niggas looking at your ass because they casing the hell out of your ass.
I had that damn them two six by nine for two weeks.
I woke up one more day.
Them niggas stole all my shit.
And I know it was niggas.
Ain't no white man trying to steal six by nine.
I already know who stole my brother's speaker.
Yeah, man.
So what I want to say was, that shit is funny, man.
I remember I used to pull up beside white people.
They'd look at me like, oh, man.
Oh, man.
I just want to hurt you.
But it was.
What do you give you a look like, what the hell is wrong with you?
Yeah, I was always getting stopped by the cops.
What you stop before I ain't do nothing?
Cops at noise pollution, bitch.
It's loud as fuck out of here.
And of course he was white.
White police officer.
Cut that shit down.
You give me anxiety.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, man.
Cops didn't like that shit.
Yeah, but anyway.
That's at the beach in San Diego, huh?
Yeah, I was in San Diego.
But that shit is kind of, because I was in the Marine Corps, but I outgrew that shit.
I don't do that.
But you know what, man?
Looking back on it, man, we're just young.
You're just young.
That is inconsiderate.
Inconsiderate.
You got your music so loud, the people in the other car, they can't have a conversation.
And I could totally understand where that white man's coming from.
He said, man, your shit is so loud.
I can feel it in my car.
Are you serious?
Man, you racing.
No, but that's just something we did when it was younger.
What's sad is when you see somebody's 50 years old drive around like that.
Yeah, they never grew up.
I don't do that.
I have my radio up a little bit.
I have it up.
I have it up, but not, you can't hear me down too black.
I got them six by nine.
All right, so the video's not over.
Yeah, it's more than shit.
It's more philosophy in here.
Yeah, check it out.
And I couldn't even talk to myself.
So you say black people are racist.
Oh, more than white people.
No doubt.
And y'all are babies.
We've had the Vietnamese have been here for 50 years, and they're all educated with good jobs.
They don't have all the problems y'all have.
That's the difference.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, y'all are problems in this country.
There's all this shit with y'all burning places and riding and then stealing other people's property.
Do you see any white people doing that?
Are you serious?
Do you see any Vietnamese people?
I promise I think I'm dreaming right now.
Are you serious?
United States of America.
And we're getting tired of this shit.
So what are you trying to say, man?
What I'm trying to say is you're just when he said we this is United States of America and we getting tired of shit.
Sound like he was saying y'all's feet gonna go to swinging again.
I don't know if it meant to come off like that.
Duh.
He just upset, man.
He's frustrated.
He's tired of this shit.
Well, he's talking about the rides.
Yeah, he's talking about the rise.
Yeah.
And, you know, I mean, it was a Black Lives Matter supporter who said looting is reparations.
Yeah, I mean, the shit is insane.
Back in the day when I was 18, 19, I'd be like, back in those days, I was like, man, I'll be so upset if I heard a white man say this shit.
But now I got older.
I'm a lot.
Wise, that's not my heel to down anymore.
He's spitting a lot of truth.
And overall, I think statistically, it's just anecdotal.
I have no evidence to back this up.
But you see more racism just being portrayed by black people than you see white.
I mean, white people, there's some racist white people out there, but man, you see.
It's racism on both sides.
Yeah, it's racism on both sides, but it's just crazy, man.
Especially when you see what's going on in Chicago.
Just what's just going on in our society, man.
It's just black people are openly being racist and they're not being held accountable.
Held accountable for their actions or being called a racist.
Only white people can be racist.
Yeah.
What was I going to say?
That black dude, he's funny, though.
Are you serious?
Man, are you for real?
He said, y'all.
I mean, you can't deny that the black community, that's the poorest demographic in this country.
And why is that?
Yeah.
I mean, Indian people is just as dark as darker than me.
And they're the richest demographic in this country when you look at household income.
Yeah.
White people, and a lot of people don't know this, but white people are not even the breadwinners in a white systematic racist country.
They're not even the breadwinners.
I don't even think white people are in the top eight.
It's all people.
Immigrants.
Immigrants.
Brown people.
They're all brown people.
Like Nigerians, when they come here, they do better than black folks.
Yeah.
Black Americans.
Nigerians, when they come here, because they haven't been corrupted, you know?
Like, I'm going to say something.
This is facts.
Are you serious?
Are you for real?
I forgot what I was going to say now.
Nobody be saying it to throw you off your game.
Are you serious?
Are you for real?
No, but black people in this country is hurting.
Yeah.
But you can't say that's all due to racism.
It's about yourself.
You work on yourself and you control your fate in your own hands.
White people don't control your fate.
You control your fate.
Yeah, the best thing I can tell black people, man, if you want to improve your life, you got to start working three times as hard as the next man.
Next thing you need to do is surround yourself with positive people.
Yeah.
Entrepreneurial type people.
Yeah, positive people.
Yeah, positive people.
Don't be hanging around.
If you hang around gang members and you got your pants around your knees, you're going straight nowhere.
You know what I'm saying?
The best thing you can do if you want to be successful in this country is all about relationships and networking.
You could be a fool and become the president.
You could be a vice president of the United States.
It's about who you know, not what you know.
Look at our vice president.
Who You Know Matters Most00:01:27
Vice president.
Oh, her?
Oh, because she's black.
She ain't black.
That's a red dotted end.
Yeah, well, she ain't as black as we are.
They say she black.
They say she black.
She ain't black.
I'm black.
Look at me.
I'm more black than she is.
Yeah, and black people say I'm not black.
Yeah, but you know, you got to emulate successful people.
Yeah.
That's how you get somewhere.
Yeah, when you see...
See, successful person could be black, could be white.
Chances are it's going to be a white person or some other nationality.
Black people is just...
A lot of people, when they're not successful in like black, white, it doesn't matter what your nationality, ethnicity, or anything.
A lot of it's self-inflicted.
You ain't complicit in your own demise.
Complicit in your own demise, and you blaming white people.
Yeah.
I mean, how can you honestly say this is a white, systemically racist nation, man, when you had a black president in a majority of this country is white?
