Have you got a big dick?
Black people are so cool. Look I m tanned like you.
Ah, I love Stormzy too. Tell man shut up!
Tell my man shut up.
Go quickly. Ah man.
Do you have big dick? Are you hung? They will just message, no hello
. Are you hung? How big s your cock? Can I suck your dick?
I mean what do you say to that? You say yes.
It s a stereotype that helps, I m going to be honest.
A very big muscular man with a gigantic penis. Ahh.
But I think the reality for a lot of men when it comes down to it, it s a lot of pressure.
���
Have you got any weed? I get asked this all the time.
You think I have weed because I m black, but no I don t.
Where s the herb bro? Where s the herb? Do you know what, I would not know. �
I get it a lot actually. I think it s because of the hair.
You re Jamaican you must smoke weed, you re black you must smoke weed, you have long hair
you must smoke weed. It s very offensive you know, because it s
like instantly, it s not just a general question you re being asked. It s like just because
you re black, it s instantly, you have to be involved in criminal activity. ���
Black people are just seen to be thugs, they re seen to have weed, they re seen to do drugs.
I ve been asked for M...MDEE...whatever that drug is called.
Yeah Cocaine. Someone asked me if I had Charles.
I said Who s that? We re just doing a routine stop and search.
Oh my gosh this happened to me in Barking. Ok it happened to me too.
I ve had this. Hey, yeah same.
Have you been stopped and searched? Yes. Me!
Dami, you? What s the one that always gets said? You
fit the... The description.
The description of someone we re looking for. For me it just seems like the routine is,
yeah a certain person, a certain profile and yeah, most of the time, it looks like us.
From what I m seeing with a lot of young black men, they re almost expecting it to happen.
If a black male enters a space, even if it s the street &
You can feel the tension, because they automatically feel uncomfortable. They might feel the need
to grab their purse or pull their child in, and like I don t understand why.
And it s especially when you re in numbers. When you re in numbers, instantly you re a
threat. You re a gang.
You re a gang. You could be a steel pan band, not today boy,
you are a gang.
Oh I like Stormzy too. It s like saying Stormzy is the UK black representative
for all of you guys, do you know what I mean? Yeah, he is certified on all our playlists.
Obviously Stormzy I know who Stormzy is, but sometimes they ll say some any rapper and
I m just like don t know. You just don t listen to Grime.
I don t listen to that music. I listen to all kinds of music.
I love Bollywood songs, yeah I m obsessed. �
Shostakovich. Yeah I said it. I bet you wouldn t know that I listen to smooth
jazz. �
Dun dun dahh. The n-word.
I mean i ve had people come to me before and genuinely in their innocence Yo what s up
my nigger? and I ve been like Stop . And he was like, Oh but it s like brother
innit? . No it s not, it s not to me. I use it as a term of endearment.
And who do you use it to? To my black friends.
I think whether you re black or white, you shouldn t use it.
This word was created to dehumanize black people.
It s just horrible, especially when it just comes out of nowhere. And it s the humiliation
and the embarrassment in front of everyone when it s said so openly, Go back to your
country, you fucking nigger! ��
Oi blud wagwan? Spud. I d left my glasses or something or something
and he was like, Yo, Oh me blud, come. Me blud.
Yo wagwan, it s so funny, I don t know you, but I m funny.
I don t even say that. You don t even know anyone that says it.
I don t even, who says that? You re like Oi blud, what you saying? They
always put that sort of upper tone voice. That s literally how half my friends speak.
I don t talk like that. I don t even understand that terminology.
Oh I d love to go to Africa. A lot of people genuinely think Africa is
a country. Bro, I m not even joking, i ve seen this stuff on social media.
Not every black person is from Africa, black people is everywhere.
Barbados. Nigeria.
North America. Jamaica.
Ghana. South America, like Brazil.
Trinadad. Sierra Leone.
Dominica. Have you got How did you get here?
Yes. I got that before.
The 5. It goes to Newham General actually, just walk there it s in East London. �
I bet you love fried chicken. There we are.
Well we love some chicken now don t we? And I was like I hate fried chicken. And the
whole class was like Ahh. Why does it have to be fried chicken? Why
can t it be something like egg? I like a bit of fish to be honest. My mum
makes the best fish by the way. Yeah but your breath stinks after you eat
that. It s ok, let it stink.
You re so urban You are black. It s like, You re urban. Do
you know what I mean? There s all types of black men, not every
black man has to live up to what the society created as that urban behaviour.
Exactly. It s like as a black man, you re not allowed
to address your issues. Like how often do you feel that you can talk to someone? Or
talk to your family members. Like you re kind of taught to deal with whatever issues you
re going through. I m so happy that I was able to be a black
man. Amen.
Because I m able to go against those stereotypes that are out there: black guys can t be flamboyant,
black guys can t be expressive, black guys can t be theatrical. �
Yo shout out white people, I love you all. But being black is actually so fun, you should
try it sometime.
