Joe Rogan & Jamie Foxx - Racism vs. Perception

Hello freak bitches. So, when you look at that as a comedian, it's like, wow, you know, that was, that was good for me. And that was good for me in a certain way of, first of all, it's great jokes to, it's like, it does say, are we becoming too fragile when it comes to our race? Like black folk, like I say, yeah, some people are racist and some people are perceptionists. Know what that means? No. The perception is, okay, the perception in America was the white man, Donald Trump, can be president. The woman can't do it. Perception doesn't mean that if you vote for Donald Trump, that you're racist. I don't think everybody's racist. That was a big thing. Sometimes it's perception. I'll make it clear. Okay. I do a joke in front of all black people. And I said, black people are very interesting people because we deal with racism and perceptionism. I said, because we're very nervous flyers, right? We don't like to get home planes. First thing we do when we get on the plane, we see who's flying this motherfucker. We look in the cockpit. If we look and see a black guy, we will stop and go, hey, how long you been flying, bro? You got your hours with you? And it was the perception. And don't let a woman sit next to him. Oh, shit, we good. It could be a bright sunny day. It's a house of weather. Oh, we're good. And then as you're sitting in that seat, anytime you hit a bump, bump. My brother, we straight. Same situation. You go in in the cockpit. You see that white guy with this salt and pepper hair and those aviators and his forearm hair like this. And it's storming outside. Shit, fly the shit through a hurricane. So it's the perception that we have to talk about sometime. Does that make sense? Oh, it definitely makes sense. Yeah. You know, there's definitely that. You know, like the Donald Trump thing's funny. You know who said it best? Alonzo Bowden. You know, Alonzo? No, funny comedian. He said he goes, not all Donald Trump supporters are racist, but all racists are Donald Trump supporters. That that that that that he definitely awaken that side. But I would say, but I would but I will say this, like I said, the perception gets us all to, you know, because like my daughter, it was interesting. My oldest, you know, my oldest daughter, like when when when the election happened and when, you know, the results came in. I said, well, would you we're going to go march? I said, well, did you all vote? Not all of us. But, you know, I said, well, you know, you got to get out there because their perception was she had it in the bag. Right. You know, so you got to get out there and be, you know, whatever that is. Yeah, whatever that is. Indeed. This is weird times for everybody, you know, because I think social media is allowing people to express themselves. Yeah, everybody's expressed themselves and people are forming forming groups, you know, they're just like, you know, they're progressive or they're they're they're liberal or they're conservative. And this everybody has a voice. Everybody has a voice. There's so much voices. I'll say this. Maybe you can appreciate this because we've we've we're living in two wars. We lived when it wasn't here and we live. Yeah. It's it's discretion. Social media allows you not to have discretion. You're able to go in and type whatever. You want to say. And that usually that's what we pay attention to. Discretion is this. We're sitting at the dinner table and yo, I said something that you didn't like. But the discretion was I'll address that later. Right. So now that you don't have any discretion, anybody's voice can be heard. Not everybody. How do you say it? Not everybody has a point that we should hook all of our wagons to. Right. What I notice is that we will hook our wagons to the most extreme point. And that may be only twenty five hundred people. Like when my homies will hit me and say, man, you hear what they say, man, about so and so. I say, how many views did it get? Eighty thousand views. I says eight million people in Philly alone. Why are you just listening to those eighty thousand people? So you sort of have to put balance in the way you sort of sift through it. Does that make sense? It does make sense. Yeah. Well, the way I try to put it out to people, if you run into a room and there's one hundred people in that room, what are the odds that one person is a fucking idiot? One person. Almost almost every room of a random group of one hundred people. And I'm being very, very polite. One person. That means probably a few. But let's go with one. One out of one hundred. So that means there's three million fucking idiots in this country. Right. Just straight idiots. Right. Non-fixable idiots. Yeah. Yeah. So if you're going to read comments, you're opening yourself up to that. If you're going to get your opinion swayed by people who just want to just want to see if they can affect you. Just want to see if they can fuck with you. Just see if they can change you. Get you to change the way you're dressing. And that's why I don't like. That's the part I don't like. So I tell all of my artists and all my friends don't change. Don't read it because what happens is everybody starts coloring inside the lines and now nobody's dangerous anymore. Right. Because you remember back in the day, Madonna, dangerous. Right. I come out naked, you know, just dance into the Grammys like it's all good. So what I hope will want to always say, just don't tuck your art in. Don't talk your art in for the for the comments because we'll end up not having anything, not having anything to celebrate that is that is good. Like having some to celebrate. Somebody did a song that was dope or movie that was dope or got outside the box as opposed to what we love celebrating, which is the crazy shit. You know what I mean? You
