This is Why Blacks AreStereotyped and Racially Profiled!

[00:00:00]Every newscaster looks just like that.

[00:00:03]>> Miraculously found a way to look at white people who look professional online >> [music] >> and say, "Well, that's the standard.

[00:00:10]It's kind of their fault that we don't look" Come on. How How did you even do that?

[00:00:15]>> Everybody got to look like you, think like you, dress like you, feel like you.

[00:00:18]You have a robotic company and your company doesn't get the benefit of growing.

[00:00:25]>> She's crazy, bro. I would fire her if she [music] worked for me.

[00:00:28]>> Our Harrison and Dale is a stand-up comedian, actress, singer, and co-host of Let's Talk Hair on Box. So, welcome, Dale.

[00:00:38]>> Thank you so much for having me.

[00:00:40]>> I saw I was looking at some of your comedy.

[00:00:43]>> Mhm.

[00:00:43]>> And I saw the one about black people don't tip.

[00:00:47]>> Yes.

[00:00:48]>> [laughter] >> So, this is a reaction to a pro-black comedian talking to Jesse Lee Peterson.

[00:00:55]This should be a very civilized, normal, uplifting debate that should have no racism against anyone, right?

[00:01:02]>> [laughter] >> Obviously not. So, let's not waste any more time. Get right into this. Make sure you like and subscribe. Let's go.

[00:01:08]>> I used to be a cheap tipper, too, uh when I was black.

[00:01:11]>> Yeah.

[00:01:12]>> not like tipping. [laughter] >> Oh, when you was black?

[00:01:15]>> And then one day >> are you now, Jesse?

[00:01:17]>> I am a black and Asian man now.

[00:01:19]>> [laughter] >> I'm white on the inside, but I'm black on the outside.

[00:01:22]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:01:23]>> But, the thing I didn't like about tipping is when they tell you how much to give.

[00:01:28]>> Yeah.

[00:01:29]>> Like on the They have like 10% if you if you pay the 10% >> 20% and I didn't think they had the right to tell me how much >> Yeah.

[00:01:37]>> I could give, right? Cuz I didn't tell a waiter to get a job thinking I'm going to tip them.

[00:01:42]>> Yeah. It's our culture here.

[00:01:44]>> now.

[00:01:44]>> Yeah.

[00:01:45]>> I wanted to ask you why did the black >> Yeah, black people don't like to tip, bro. Black people don't like to tip.

[00:01:51]That's something that goes around online, but it's obviously true. It's true. Like, you can't Let's be honest.

[00:01:59]Let's be honest. You think every restaurant in every state, in every major city is saying the same thing?

[00:02:07]How is that even possible?

[00:02:09]The reason people are saying it is because yeah, it's kind of true.

[00:02:14]>> Women and some men, not all, not all, but most. Why have they stopped combing their hair?

[00:02:20]Cuz I see at the gym and I see women on TV and or out in >> You mean the bush?

[00:02:26]>> They be like dressed up like >> [laughter] >> You mean the bush?

[00:02:31]>> Yeah, they have like what look like a fro or something?

[00:02:34]>> Yeah, yeah.

[00:02:34]>> But they don't comb it, they just >> Yeah.

[00:02:37]>> I see the guys, they'll be having all those braid things all like a ball.

[00:02:41]They'll be like, all right.

[00:02:42]>> Yeah.

[00:02:42]>> And I see the women with fros. And all of a sudden they just stopped combing their hair. Ain't no way my grandmother would let them leave the house looking like that.

[00:02:50]>> Yeah.

[00:02:51]>> They're like, get over here and comb your nappy hair.

[00:02:53]>> I know.

[00:02:54]>> [laughter] >> But why? And And black women at one time was doing their hair all looking professional, they looked nice. But all of a sudden they stopped and they started doing that.

[00:03:06]>> I think >> What is it they trying What do they want?

[00:03:08]>> No, but I think when you define See, because you come from a different era.

[00:03:13]They consider professional white, blond, straight hair and thin. You know, every newscaster looks just like that. Now you >> So, let How come every single debate about black people or every conversation about black people somehow white people catch these straight bullets. Every single discussion.

[00:03:39]And I'm not making this up. If you watch any type of conversation talking about black people online, the person who ironically And it's ironic because this is not the definition of liberal. Liberal come from the word liberation as in freedom. But the person who leans left, the liberal person always finds a way to spin it back to white people. She's talking about black people hair. Black people not coming here. That's what the conversation is about. And somehow some way you miraculously found a way to look at white people who look professional online and say, "Well, that's the standard. It's kind of their fault that we don't look Come on. How How did you even do that?" My let's go.

[00:04:24]>> You are you have a different culture that has changed the narrative of what is professional because I should not have to straighten my coily hair because you consider it unprofessional. So, that's what they're doing. They are exercising their right to have a coily hair and that's still be professional.

[00:04:44]If I have wear my hair coily >> now.

[00:04:47]>> Well, to you though. But to you.

[00:04:49]>> It look like they're not going to work because they've It's just they got up that morning in a rush and >> because of the >> But I want to If somebody can >> cultural training you've had. Your mother trained you that when the hair is coily and in a bush, it is not tamed.

[00:05:07]>> Right.

[00:05:07]>> Today's culture has been trained that when the hair is coily, I've accepted my natural state. I can show you some pictures where I've got my bush on, I've got the coily on, I can show you pictures where I had my hair in a mohawk and I have it all up wild and that's >> I saw the mohawk, but I thought you did that because at the time you are on stage doing your your show and you just want to have a certain style, but you wouldn't go to work like that, right?

[00:05:33]>> Oh, yeah. I was going to work like that because when I had the mohawk is when I was working at a regular 9-5. That's before I went full-time stand-up.

[00:05:42]>> If I heard a black woman and she came >> Here's Here's Here's the problem with this discussion. And I'mma say this one time. I'mma just be honest.

[00:05:49]People are resentful towards white people because white people have um majority of economic power. That's the truth. Because when you're talking about businesses and you're bringing up the way white people wear their hair and how that's considered professional and the way we wear is not professional. First of all, I wear my hair the way I want to wear. I don't got that much. But no one at work has ever been like, "Oh, your hair looks up cuz I just I I like to wear my hair the way I want it." That's number one. You can do what you want.

[00:06:17]But number two is if white people are the majority of an industry, they determine what the professional standard is in that industry. And if this is not a specific statement to white people, this is about black people, too. If black people are the majority of an industry, they determine the professional standard in that in industry. When you watch NBA games and you see people pull up in sweat suits and and they tatted up tatted up all the way to the neck, tatted down the back their arms.

[00:06:49]The reason they're allowed to do that and still get $500 million contracts is because the the majority of the NBA industry, the majority of the players, majority of their culture is relatively black. And they just do that because they took over the industry and they made that the standard of how they look.

[00:07:08]So, they are still getting the contracts that they tatted up down the neck, if they're flexing weapons online like Ja Morant, they still getting $100 million contracts. But if you go to a freaking JP Morgan in finance banking, if the majority of bankers are white men, they determine how you dress in that industry. And people have a problem because when white people do it, it's racism. But when other communities do it, it's just, "Oh, we're allowed to do this. We took over. Black power." Come on, bro. This is not a fair It's just It's just intellectually unfair, for me being real with you.

[00:07:41]>> Her >> hair neat and nice and combed, and look like she got sense.

[00:07:44]And then I hired her, and then a week or two later she come in with a fro, she getting fired.

[00:07:50]>> See, well, that's where the discrimination comes in because you have hired her based on her appearance.

[00:07:58]>> Yes.

[00:07:58]>> But you when you hire a person, you have to hire them based on their capability.

[00:08:03]>> No.

[00:08:04]>> If Yeah.

[00:08:05]>> That's important, too, but looks is important, too. Matter of fact, first impression is more important than >> once you find out what she knows.

[00:08:13]>> If you think my appearance is unprofessional, it is simply a mindset.

[00:08:18]If I am dressed like I'm not at work scantily clad. Now, I'm at work still in my business casual, you know, wear, but my hair is my expression. It is the expression It is the woman's crown. Not just a black woman, it's the woman's crown. But if you have if you've been raised in an era where they taught you that a certain thing is not professional, then that's why you would have a hard time accepting it.

[00:08:47]>> used to be important to human beings.

[00:08:50]>> I think it still is.

[00:08:52]>> But not if you got that fro thing going on there.

[00:08:55]>> See, >> I uh >> No.

[00:08:56]>> Because >> That's >> What if Let's say that a white company had a standard you have to dress a certain way. Like Fox, you mentioned Fox.

[00:09:02]>> Mhm.

[00:09:03]>> And then someone came in and they wasn't they didn't meet that standard with the hair and everything. Don't they have a right to fire that person?

[00:09:11]>> No, they do not.

[00:09:12]>> Why not?

[00:09:13]>> Yes, they do have the right to fire you, bro. And I'm not sitting here saying you got to wear your hair in a way. I could not care less how anyone wears their hair. Literally, I do not care at all.

[00:09:24]But in America, they can fire you for wearing your hair a certain type of way.

[00:09:28]That's just reality. That's not even my opinion. That's just the truth. And another thing is, why do people feel so adamantly about expressing themselves at work. Of all places to express yourself, work is not the place to do it. You go to work to do a job and to make money.

[00:09:47]Why do you even want to express yourself at work? You should want to work at work.

[00:09:53]Like why is that the first thing that comes to your mind?

[00:09:56]Imagine somebody's a Imagine you have a kid and the kid is failing all his classes and he keeps failing the same teacher's class. He has good grades He does all his classes. He has good grades in all his classes, but he fails the same teacher's class every year.

[00:10:10]>> [snorts] >> And you went to a back-to-school night and you talked to this teacher like what's going on? Like, you know, how can I How can I make my kid better? Or like what What's going on in this specific class? Why is he Why is he failing?

[00:10:21]What's going on here? And the teacher says, "Oh, I just like to express myself when I'm grading the papers." You would look at this teacher like they're crazy.

[00:10:30]You'd be like, "What are you talking about? You like to First of all, you would literally look at them like they're crazy. Like what are you talking about? You want to express yourself when you grade the papers. Just grade them the right way." It's the same thing for work. Just Just do your job. Like go and do the job. That's it. If you got to wear a suit at work and they're paying you to wear a suit, wear the suit.

[00:10:49]Like what Like just Like I'm not going to say assimilate, but you get a paycheck, do what you got to do.

[00:10:56]>> I see.

[00:10:56]>> That's their business. They can >> These white companies in particular, their standard used to be that you had to be white. So So that's what I'm saying is if we are constantly obeying a standard and not challenging what is the abnormal, because that right there is abnormal. We should be able to look and be as how we please. Now, if I'm coming to the work and I got foam around my mouth and clearly I've been on drugs, yeah, that's unprofessional.

[00:11:25]>> Why do you say that?

[00:11:26]>> hairstyle is too much focus on Like that that that's the least thing we should be focused on when a person maybe otherwise well-kept.

[00:11:35]>> But if you if it's your company, you built the company, you have a right to have the type of standard that you want, right?

[00:11:42]>> You do, but you're not wrong for doing that. Okay, you can have the standard, but then you don't have the diversity.

[00:11:49]You basically got the Stepford Wives. If everybody got to look like you, think like you, dress like you, feel like you, you have a robotic company and your company doesn't get the benefit of growing from these different mindsets.

[00:12:03]These eclectic people are geniuses.

[00:12:05]>> But if I did it that >> She's crazy, bro. I will fire her if she worked for me. Like you seem like a headache. I'm not trying to have my worker express themselves or somebody in my company express themselves every day at work. Hey, did you submit this report? We need the report by tomorrow.

[00:12:20]Oh, I just want to express myself. Bro, I would literally fire you so fast. Oh my god. By the time the word express came out of your mouth, the ink wouldn't even have dried on your termination papers. Like what are you talking about?

[00:12:34]You need to express yourself. Oh my god.

[00:12:37]You're giving somebody a paycheck and they're talking about they need to express themselves, bro.

[00:12:41]Like Oh my god, bro. Like don't piss me off.

[00:12:46]Like this is the most annoying conversation.

[00:12:49]Because even at work you need to express yourself? Even when you're getting money? Even when they took the time to say, you know what? You're doing a job for me. I'm paying you to I'm I'm paying you. I'm giving you benefits. You talking about expression, bro.

[00:13:01]What are we talking about?

[00:13:02]>> That way, I still have a right to do it.

[00:13:05]>> I >> And no one has the right >> No, I don't think you have the right to it >> Why not? I built the company.

[00:13:12]>> Well, I feel like you are now discriminating because that's what black people go through. We go through people being like, well, I built this company.

[00:13:21]I have a right not to not to have women in in high position. I have a right not to have black men in this thing. You know, even on the on our football team.

[00:13:29]You know, on our foot in our in our football industry, it used to be like, oh, black men are too dumb to be the quarterback. Like, that used to be a standard way of thinking. Then you got these young black men that come in here and they are quarterbacks and they take them to the Super Bowl and they win. So, it used to be that black men could not be head coaches. Like, do you understand? Like >> I understand what you're saying, but I think what you might be missing if it is my football team that I built and I want all white people on there, right?

[00:14:02]>> Mhm.

[00:14:02]>> Or if I bring in a black, but don't want him to be the the head of the thing, don't I have a right to do that?

[00:14:08]>> No.

[00:14:09]>> But why? I built the company. This is America. How can an outsider tell me what my standard should be?

[00:14:15]>> Because you are >> have to work for me. They can go somewhere else to get a job.

[00:14:19]>> Okay, and that's what we face as blacks.

[00:14:23]>> Well, what's wrong with y'all? Is there something wrong with that?

[00:14:25]>> Bro, you don't even face that. What are we talking about? Do you live in the Twilight Zone? You don't even face that.

[00:14:32]I'm also black. You don't even face this.

[00:14:36]You don't even face this reality. What are you talking about? Like, what are we We're really be talking on YouTube in 2026.

[00:14:45]Like, we in the Civil Rights Movement.

[00:14:46]Like, our ancestors fought for nothing.

[00:14:48]Like, we really be online today talking about we face Your great-grandmother would probably smack you across the face. Because she she faced this. She really did face this.

[00:15:00]She genuinely faced this reality that you're claiming to face.

[00:15:04]And she fought to get out of it.

[00:15:07]And a lot of people fought beside her.

[00:15:09]Believe it or not, a lot of white people didn't support that back then. They actually fought beside her objectively.

[00:15:15]And here you are today sitting on a podcast like AC wearing diamond You have You have jewelry on. You You look like you have a little bit of money.

[00:15:28]You talk about you face this. You don't face any of this. You made that up. But, I'm going to end this here. Let me know what you guys think. It's LFAR. Now, see you in [music] the next one.

[00:15:37]>> Yeah.
