WEBVTT - DONKEY: Commentator Wanted More White People During Kendrick's Performance

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, white supremacist violence. It is always have been the

0:00:03.400 --> 0:00:06.040
<v Speaker 1>number one threat to our society. But I'm also very

0:00:06.080 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>proud that my wife is white. To the practice club bitches,

0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>sur Richny, please tell me why was I your Donkey

0:00:13.880 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>of the day. Well, Donkey Today for Wednesday, February twelfth

0:00:17.520 --> 0:00:20.119
<v Speaker 1>goes to a political analyst named Dominique Trippy. He is

0:00:20.120 --> 0:00:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a political analyst, writer, strategists, and commentator. The homie Robbin

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.400
<v Speaker 1>at baller Alert sent me this today, dropping a clues

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>bombs for Robbing at baller Alert. Sub Robin, sub Robin.

0:00:29.760 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>I missed this one, but it's hilarious. See Dominique. About

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a week ago, from what I can see posted on

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>X this statement he said, and I quote, we must

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>rid ourselves of DEI throughout every facet of society for

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:45.159
<v Speaker 1>the sake of our safety and that of our children.

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>My god, Now, I know people had issues with DEI,

0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>but when you say we have to get rid of

0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:51.800
<v Speaker 1>DEI for the sake of our safety and that of

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:55.120
<v Speaker 1>our children, that sounds like to me like you have

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>a fear of a black and brown planet. All right.

0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>Diversity means that you're not safe. The browning and blacking

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 1>of America means that you not safety. Inclusion of more women,

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.080
<v Speaker 1>more gays, anyone who is in a straight white male

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.479
<v Speaker 1>means you not safe. Why are we as a people

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>so hell bent on making each other uncomfortable? Okay, let

0:01:14.800 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>me ask you a question, Dominique. Have you ever stopped

0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.880
<v Speaker 1>to think how those of us from marginalized communities feel

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.679
<v Speaker 1>when we are the only one, when you are the

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:27.479
<v Speaker 1>known minority amongst the majority. Have you, Dominique, ever seen

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:30.560
<v Speaker 1>that and said, I wonder if they feel unsafe? Why

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>do we start getting concerned about safety when it's spaces

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.479
<v Speaker 1>where white folks aren't the majority, Dominique, have you ever

0:01:36.520 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>thought about that? I'm sincerely asking, see, nobody ever cares

0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>about the one raisin in the potato salad. You know why,

0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:46.199
<v Speaker 1>because there shouldn't be no damn raisins in the potato salad. Okay?

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>And that is why we are here today, Because Dominique

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.440
<v Speaker 1>said a week ago, we must rid ourselves of DEI

0:01:51.560 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>throughout every facet of society for the sake of our

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>safety and that of our children. But this week, after

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>watching Kendrick Lamar's record break Super Bowl performance, highest rated

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>halftime show, ever drop on the clues bombs for Kendrick

0:02:04.160 --> 0:02:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Lamar and Rock Nash. After watching that performance, Dominique posted

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 1>on x and I quote hundreds of dancers and participants

0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>in this halftime show, and they can't manage to feature

0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>one single white person. This is pathetic, Dominique, you gotta

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>make up your mind. You told us we have to

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 1>get rid of diversity, equity and inclusion in all facets

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of society. But when you see a black artist headline

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>in the super Bowl with a bunch of black dances, now,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:38.400
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, you want diversity and inclusion. This

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>is why I loved Kendrick's show aesthetically ten out of

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>ten for aesthetics, because I knew it would get these

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:48.040
<v Speaker 1>types of reactions out of people. But if you're gonna

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>piss people off, let's really piss them off. I wish

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 1>he would have added to the set list just three songs,

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>actually four, including Money Trees, but that's just a personal favorite.

0:02:57.000 --> 0:02:59.760
<v Speaker 1>But these three if he would have started, because of

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the aesthetic of that show, if he would have started

0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>with Black of the Berry, can you imagine hearing this

0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:07.200
<v Speaker 1>on the super Bowl stage. What would Dominique have said?

0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:08.000
<v Speaker 1>If he would have heard this.

0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm African Americans, I'm African, I'm black. It's the moon Herrick,

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.440
<v Speaker 2>and you have a small for this part of my residence.

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 2>I hate from the bottom of my man gun, my

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 2>hair and snappy, my nose is big, my nose is rounding.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.720
<v Speaker 2>Why you hate me? Tell you you hate my people.

0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>You're playing this determinate my coaching.

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.119
<v Speaker 1>You need for I want you to recognize that I'm

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 1>a proud monkey. And then what if he went into

0:03:28.360 --> 0:03:31.200
<v Speaker 1>what if you witting to this us?

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:33.440
<v Speaker 2>My life has tough light.

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Right after black and the berry us my life God.

0:03:37.440 --> 0:03:42.240
<v Speaker 2>Herds like y'all ah that just just like yad now.

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>Homi you. But if God got thus gonna be all right?

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Dominica cuts out right then then then Samuel Jackson comes

0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.440
<v Speaker 1>out and tells him stop right. You're scaring America. You're

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>scaring people like Dominique. You and your little homeboys gotta

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>play it safe. This super Bowl, not Compton. And as

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>soon as you heard not Compton, then you heard this

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>whole city. People like Dominique heads literally might have exploded.

0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Donald J. Trump would have signed an executive order on

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Monday to bring back slavery in the middle of Black

0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:32.080
<v Speaker 1>History months. Okay, listen, My point is this, Dominique. It's

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>cool when they do it, it's a problem when we

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.360
<v Speaker 1>do it. All right, White artists have headlined everything for years,

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>and Dominique, I bet you've never said it's too many

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>white people participating in this show. Because whiteness, to you

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>is America. And that's one of the messages Kendrick was

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>displaying in his show that black people are America. Not

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>only are we America. Well, first of all, that's why

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>the brothers had on the red, white, and blue and

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:56.240
<v Speaker 1>they were up there looking like the American flag, because

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.440
<v Speaker 1>we are America. Okay, he was letting you know, we

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.760
<v Speaker 1>are all Americans. Should have made you proud, Dominique, not

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>to mention black people built this country.

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:08.880
<v Speaker 2>African Americans built this nation.

0:05:09.000 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to make sure about built. Stop that, Hettie.

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I said black people built this country. I was doing

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:17.560
<v Speaker 1>a dramatic pause. Now, don't listen to me, listen to

0:05:17.600 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>your president.

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 2>African Americans built this nation.

0:05:21.920 --> 0:05:22.880
<v Speaker 1>You built this nation.

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 2>You know you're just starting to get real credit for that. Okay,

0:05:27.360 --> 0:05:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you know that, you're just starting

0:05:29.640 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 2>to get you built the nation.

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:34.120
<v Speaker 1>We all built it, but you were such a massive.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Part of it, bigger than you were given credit for.

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>Does that make sense? Right? And so Kendrick was on

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:44.239
<v Speaker 1>the super Bowl stage making sure black people get that credit.

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>The moral of the story is this, You are either

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>part of the solution or you a part of the problem.

0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.040
<v Speaker 1>If you looked at Kendrick's performance and you saw others

0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>and not Americans, then guess what you are indeed the problem.

0:05:57.160 --> 0:05:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Please let Chelsea handle it. Give Dominique Trippy the biggest

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 1>See how that is way too much? Dan Manage, Chelsea

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 1>acting black being all late. Okay, hey, all right, I

0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:27.480
<v Speaker 1>ain't got no more. All right, that's all I got. Alright,

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Why why, why? Why what you worried about? Because I mean,

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>you got a bunch of them that big give the

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>biggest Mayo and all that. I thought you was gonna

0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>go all the way with it. No, I think Chelsea's Chelsea,

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Chelsea suffices. Allright, we need no more confusion. No, thank

0:06:41.200 --> 0:06:43.520
<v Speaker 1>you for that. Donkey Today. Donkey of Today is sponsored
