i get nervous sometimes you want to be black son you ever thought about it oh
yeah i've thought
about it yeah when i was like you know from age you know 12 to 16 every white
kid does you know
so then i definitely did but now i think i would want to be mexican next i
think for me blacks
still seem a little too risky i would wait one more another year before you dabble
another cycle
like another life cycle whoa all right like reincarnated one time be latino and
so it's risky
now just being black or risky being black like in a car it's still too risky
for me i get nervous a
lot you know i have fear and anxiety oh yeah yeah yeah if you get nervous now
you wouldn't be a good
black yeah no definitely you couldn't handle traffic stops dude do black people
get nervous because it
always seemed like to me when i was growing up honestly don't know that black
people never got
i was like fuck black people do not get nervous now we see we use different
language like you call it
nervous and then black people might call it shook right you know what i'm
saying like you wasn't
you nervous now i was it's the same definition but were you nervous nah i was
just a little shook yeah
i mean we just don't identify with certain things like when it comes to uh like
depression yeah
white people can identify with depression anxiety post whatever post traumatic
stress they could deal
with that you know what i'm saying like you ask a white person are you stressed
yeah i'm really stressed
i feel a little depressed yes white person you stress you stress black person
like nah i ain't stressed
i'm just a little fucked up right now you know what i'm saying like that it's
the words you use you
know what i'm saying and i know like like charlamagne the guy he has this book
called shook one and he
was talking about the stigma with black people dealing with mental issues you
know what i'm saying
and he's as a person he's saying from a person that's paying a therapist a
hundred dollars an hour
to talk to about problems yeah average black person from the hood can't afford
a therapist what you
could afford is a bag of weed yeah a bottle of hennessy and that's what we look
through that's how we
get um get we deal with mental issues it's not the way it should be but we don't
use the same words
because you get different drugs you know what i'm saying when you say when you
say i'm a little uh
stressed out anxiety you get prozac xanax and all that type of shit if you say
that to a black
person you get weed somebody might try to give you a line and blow you know
what i'm saying it's not
it's not the right thing to do but it's just different definitions i see you
know oh that's
interesting and all of us been a little fucked up right now but the whole thing
about being a little
fucked up right now is how you cope with things coping is is number one thing
you have to deal with
with any mental issues can you cope with it yeah yeah do they have like unique
mental issues that you
think black guys get that white guys don't get i don't know if this is a mental
issue but a lot of
black guys get but white guys can't well they can but like jungle fever yeah
you know i'm saying i
don't think that if that's a mental disorder but it's something that's it's
something that's a little
taboo in the black community thank you guys for checking out this clip and if
