I grew up listening to James Brown music when I was in the six grade I did a skit at my elementary school and I danced to Say it loud I'm black and I'm Proud, it was awesome I was so Nervous, James Brown is truly The God Father of Soul!!
tiffy bear you are absolutely right I amazing that he stoofd up there by himself singing this song in the 70s to aroom full of white people. but the music is so funky it is my favorite song of all time. And it should fit for any race what your are be proud and love one another Hey you notice while hes singing it though, he keeps his eyes closed i am sure that helped him get through it but still Black God none the less Amen
a little dissonance, with the white chicks mumbling something other than 'black and proud', but the msg is still loud and clear, go godfather...........
Here is a question? And think very carefully about it. This song " I am Black and I am Proud" what if a white man sand it and subsistuted white in place of black. What would the reaction be? I know, the crowd there would go mute and the network would not allow the broadcast. Why? because the the double standard for anyone not white, and the dummy whites just sit there awaiting their slow genocide, actually reveling in it.
@lp32862 Please just shut the fuck up and only speak when spoken too? notice I am asking and not telling you because that would mean that I am in front of slapping some sense into your backwards thinking brain .
TiffyBear, me being 20 years old today, I wish I was old right now so I can have a story to tell to kids my age today how fun the strugglin' times for blacks back then really was same time we was strugglin'. I mean it was up for grabs for anybody that wanted to make suh'n outta nuff'n. Nowadays, everybody think they don't have to smarts like that like how niggaz around the way used to jump over gates runnin' from cops cause technology is lowing down the use method of people's natural smarts.
@Thudas22 Married a White Girl,? That is What the Media Tells you. TRUST ME HE NEVER MARRIED HER. THAT WAS FAKE. James Brown, At 70 was Old, and Deteriorated Mentally. HE COULD OF WENT FOR WHITE WOMEN IN HIS YOUTH LIKE QUINCY JONES. But he didn't when he had all his Mental Faculties. By the time this Heathen Whore, met him, he was Old, had been to Jail for Mental Outbursts, and Intoxications. SO THIS WHITE WOMEN, GOT HIM TO FUCK HER. BUT MARRIED HER? IS A LIE, THAT THE MEDIA,TELLS. 4 IGNORANTS
@sharonanony Foolio, WTF, this negro chased white tail as if it was water and he had been in the desert for three days, without water. Stop with your incoherrent rationalization and just admitt he did not like himself and wanted some thing fame and money could buy...White Ass. You big dummy.
@sharonanony He had his share of white ones. Don't be fooled. I don't think This last woman was married to him nor do i belive the child is his. He had prostate trouble so that it unlikely. He was also abusive to every woman he had. He beat tammi terrell down a flight of steps, marva whitney, adrienne brown, etc etc .... So he was a great musician and legend but he was also a woman beater as was ike turner.
@CoochieMan215 He did not marry a White girl. Stop believing the Beast. sOME woman saw an old man, who medicated himself with liquor and drugs, and jumped on top of his Phallus.
@IkeDyson It is a damn beautiful version! Master Mr Brown yet here is a wonderful natural hair. I regret that Afro-Americans straightening hair. Since the natural hair Afro-American is most beautiful in the world! I thank you very much for this incredible version of my beloved songs. Salute from Poland!
i love watching old clips of black singers. They are always the same. its a black singer singing around a group of young white people. i love that the white people are saying "im black and im proud"
Actually, most of the people in the clip aren't saying anything, Just clapping. If they did sing it, just as well. The backup singers on the recording "black and proud" are a bunch of asian and white kids.
In the tarot, there are people of the clubs and people of the sword. There are people of fire and people of air. This is an eternal mystery. The similarities and differences of people should be celebrated.
If you peep this was really the first hip hop song he was rhymin on the track not singin & all the first hip-hop songs were mostly James Brown samples so this nigga really created it the turn tables came later & he was not from new york
No, that's not true. They were black elementry children singing the hook ! James said he just rode around Harlem and started picking up little black children.
He said no such thing! What he said was that he instructed members of his staff to grab some kids off the street and offer them heavy duty meals in exchange for singing the chorus on this track, and half of the kids were white!
@HaliB75 ... lol according to this video she is 'black and proud' so i'd get your shit right.... funny,... was thinking when i wrote that... that some idiot who loves our country enough to have these immigrants take it over one day, would fuck it up and say something about that rice burner ....sad you appreciate that
this is one of the only Playboy After Dark videos where everyone is sitting around watching instead of dancing wildly around the room. i figure it's because they were in complete awe of the genius in front of them, unable to take their eyes off of him, mesmerized by him. so awesome. but it sure is cute hearing all those little white Playboy bunnies mouthing "I'm Black And I'm Proud." classic piece, great video, wonderful performance.
WoW Man u know so little. The only thing you have correct is that we complain. yep and im proud of it. when will we stop? when we r treated 100% equal to whites not 50% not 75% not even 96% but 100. your damn right i complained when last week in the city of grandrapids michigan a white man was caught with 26 pounds of pot and got off with probation when they were going to give those boys in louisianna life for jumping a white man b4 the media got all over it
who is not treating u equal? and u just compared someone having pot to someone getting jumped. ya, give those little bastards life, everyone knows its wrong to attack people, smoking weed doesnt hurt (help) anyone but yourself
James fucked all these chicks after this performance. you think sex machine was just a metaphor? no, and he had the 10 inch dong to prove it. He unloaded his brand new bags into those hotpants covered popcorns all right, all the while screaming 'ain't it funky now, bitch? aaaooww!!!'
I seriously hoped no one would challenge me on this. Then here you come with an ample portion of ignorance and intimidation. The struggle is real and you're not qualified to give a valid say either way on something you're no part of. White folks were proud to be hypothetically Black as they tried or succeeded at tapping into core commonalities. Only the GREATEST performer of all time could pull that off and your approval or agreement is not required. Thank God. The End.
Not sure if there's a more oxymoronic moment in history. The while folks were proud to be Black? lol. They don't know the struggle but we're all from Africa so I guess it makes sense. He's the best performer of all time. I might have said Michael Jackson but James Brown is Michael's idol. Plus Elvis idolized Jame's style. So hopefully no one would be foolish enough to challenge me on this.
its just a fucking song,,,,, why do u crackers come rushing out to point out when another race says they're proud of who they are??? I'm hispanic and I dont give a fuck about white or black pride....shit I'd even sing along this song
Btw when u say white pride u always say "but all the other races are inferior" that's when all the other races have a problem with u and maybe u feel "attacked" when someone else is proud...piss off
What are talking about? The audience was't saying the response. Do you see a band? It was him singing to a prepared track which included the voices. Even the few black people on the show weren't saying it. They are actors, there to look pretty, not the oppressor corporate conquerors. They also looked pretty happy to have James there and did not appear to be out off by the content of his song, in fact perhaps they were proud he was proud and they got to see THE JB sing in front of them.Clue time!
SHUT UP! You would waste time giving an ignorant response that you think is clever. Your first sentence indicates illiteracy. "What are talking about?" The correct grammar would be "What are you talking about?" What I'm talking about is that some of the white folks are saying they are black and proud. I'm not interested in you trying to claim that they are not. If you look at 1:34 in the video you'll see white girl saying it. PERIOD. End of discussion.
No, it indicates rushing through a response to a reactionary. Illiteracy would preclude me from being able to spell and construct sentences. You are jaded, & angry, & held back by your own attitude. It is a pre-recorded track. If audience members were singing along, they were not being recorded, it is not their voice. Anybody singing is doing it from a position of support, knowingly or not. Certainly not racist, but supportive. No white person there thinks they are black. No K-feds. Get real.
Ok you leaving out words doesn't indicate ignorance but trying to challenge me on something like this IS ignorant. I'm not angry. I'm accurate and I feel that it'll serve you better to be honest than cordial or proper. It doesn't matter if it's recorded or not. If it's recorded then my point still stands and that is that white folks WERE SINGING along to the RECORDING. It does not change my point. They weren't K-Fed wiggers but strong music causes people to do odd things which are coincidental.
Give Hugh Hefner his props. He always championed Black Culture along with Ed Sullivan and Dick Clark. He was one of the first magazines to feature Malcolm X and of course he attended the Motown 25 Anniversary Party with his then Girlfriend Shannon Tweed.
Mr Hefner was always The Man..cutting edge and progressive..Sinatra, Steve Allen, Lloyd Thaxton, Al Jarvis, help to open some doors way before the above mentioned as well..
This video just goes to show you how much power music can have over people. I mean this was a song James Brown did to uplift people of color, but it was just that good that the white women in the crowd started saying, "I'm black and I'm proud."
Hahahaha Only white babes singing I'm BLack & I'm Proud!!! JB was the King of the whole planet at that time. He could pull off a thing like that... damn!!! People down South (rednecks) must have been shooting their own TV sets watching that!!!!
I think the reason why he's doing that song in a crowd of white folks is because James Brown is a Bad motherfucker!!! And whether anyone admits it or not James Brown was ballsy enough to make them bop to his groove!!! RIP SOUL BROTHA #1 I love ya man
James Brown took a lot of grief for a verse he added at the very end, "We'd rather die on our feet than keep living on our knees". Hugh Hefner must have had balls bigger than blimps to arrange to have him sing this song on his show in 1968-69
What music can do !! We all have a black soul, or I'd rather say we all have a rainbow soul. This song is more powerful than any riot or war. Revolution comes from Art. Thanks Mister James Brown and peace in all hearts.
Give Hef his props. He always had the best of Black Entertainment at his house. Bill Cosby, Sammy Davis Jr., Ike & Tina Turner, and James Brown. He was next to Dick Clark a real supporter of Black Talent that's still alive.
GREAT Clip. the "im black and im proud" chant everyone is hearin' is a backing track not the people in the audience. if u notice,JB had his eyes closed most of the performance probably to ignore the fact he was singin in front of a predomintantly white audience! RIP Godfather.
Even so, on the record it is actually a majority of non-black kids singing the "I'm Black and I'm Proud" line that they just randomly grabbed off the streets.
cuba godun jr would not be the man to play this role he couldnt handle it too much soul for him. the only one i think who may be able to pull it off is jamie fox no other.

To a mainly white crowd, "say it loud..."
The crowd: "I'm black and I'm proud..."
James was bad as hell, he could manage such a feat.

James Brown took a lot of grief for a verse he added at the very end, "We'd rather die on our feet than keep living on our knees". Hugh Hefner must have had balls bigger than blimps to arrange to have him sing this song on his show in 1968-69

If hes black and proud, then why is there a group of white women around him, I swear he sang this during segregation ?!

What music can do !! We all have a black soul, or I'd rather say we all have a rainbow soul. This song is more powerful than any riot or war. Revolution comes from Art. Thanks Mister James Brown and peace in all hearts.

Give Hef his props. He always had the best of Black Entertainment at his house. Bill Cosby, Sammy Davis Jr., Ike & Tina Turner, and James Brown. He was next to Dick Clark a real supporter of Black Talent that's still alive.

LMFAO!! I was just thinking that same s**t when he came to that part, J.B. was definitely the Godfather of soul.

GREAT Clip. the "im black and im proud" chant everyone is hearin' is a backing track not the people in the audience. if u notice,JB had his eyes closed most of the performance probably to ignore the fact he was singin in front of a predomintantly white audience! RIP Godfather.
ghanasoul 3 years ago
No, his just feeling the music.
I'm sure he knew he was going to perform in front of a predominantly white crowd especially since he chose to perform this song!

Even so, on the record it is actually a majority of non-black kids singing the "I'm Black and I'm Proud" line that they just randomly grabbed off the streets.

cuba godun jr would not be the man to play this role he couldnt handle it too much soul for him. the only one i think who may be able to pull it off is jamie fox no other.
