@StealThisIdentity So by that same token, would it be okay if rich white people saw all / most blacks as criminals and low-lifes?
Ignorance isn't an excuse, he was a big star here, he knew the truths by now and any truly intelligent person knows poverty is colorless.
Not a big deal anyway, I agree with everything he's saying and Ice-T is a savvy guy. But he did generalize and what he said verged on racism.
-
@WelshDegenerate White kids were in poverty yet Ice-T grew up in Newark which faced White Flight and a kind of poverty whites will never know, and his reality was white kids on the other side of the track were having money and having parents whose generation was often racist.
While it may not be true in every case, we can't say explanation here is complete nonsense, he's talking about the world he knew. You can imply what you want, he's just trying to explain his theory based on his world
-
@StealThisIdentity Do you even listen to what he says?
He says he "injected the white kids, with the anger of the black kids" implying that only black kids are going through struggle / in poverty.
Then he implies white = automatic wealth, and he even makes the mother in the anecdote automatically racist. As if white = wealth and racism.
It's such nonsense.
-
@WelshDegenerate also, where did he say all white people were racist and rich? You're distorting his argument at least a little bit, aren't you?
-
@WelshDegenerate He does overgeneralize about blacks and whites, however, I challenge you to show me that this discredits his entire argument.
-
Oh please, "oh that's that nigger" - just ASSUMED racism? absolutely ridiculous.
Yes ALL white people are automatically racist and rich, lmfao... how absurd.
Thats the sickest interview I've ever watched.
