That guy that raps walking around Hollywood at Popeye’s. Just another night in Hollywood. lol. This was like 4 years ago.
Amazing performance on the subway while I was in NYC. They just started playing in the middle of the aisle. Pretty good.

A woman I used to work with told me that the people I worked with (on a particular commercial) were racist. She said they treated the last black guy that worked with them very rude.
She was infuriated…so angry that she taunted them by calling me the other black guys name in front of them a few times. I told her to calm down and just chill out cause we were all there at work to WORK. She said…”No problem, but…I am wondering why am I more angry about this than you”
Well…
She is a older caucasian woman and I bet she would be surprised that from the time I was born to this very day I have dealt wit racism.
Throughout my life…
My mom fought so they wouldn’t put “Negro” on my birth certificate (no..I’m not that old damnit…I am from country ass Ohio).
I was told I needed to be held out of certain elementary school classes because I was the only black kid in the class and the teachers said I would be a distraction to the rest of the children.
I was even told that if I threw up any “GANG SIGNS” at my graduation from high school I would be escorted away by the police…and anyone that knows me knows I am not and never have been affiliated with any gangs.
I could go on forever…
Truth is…Racism hasn’t gone anywhere. Minorities see it all the time and I see how she could be so infuriated about it. She lives a life where she isn’t discriminated against on a regular basis…and the slight hint of some RACIST activity going on it is ABSURD…haha…Oh what a world to live in…must be nice.
Not that I am accepting of it at all…but I as a black man can decipher what level of racist people are pretty well. I think I have become an expert at it now. I didn’t see a hint of racism come from the people that were accused. One of them actually called me for 4 or 5 more jobs after that and gave me an opportunity to 1st AD a commercial.
