Talking About a Friend's Racism and Stereotypes About Black People

I'm just trying to, like, I'm trying to convince my friend, like, you know, because I, I like, I like everyone, but he, like, you know, my friend is like, he's kind of, he's kind of racist.

So, like, he's like, um... I'm not gonna lie, I was having dinner by myself, and I was, like, not paying no mind to my left, and I heard, like, "The Blacks," and you guys got my attention, and I turned to the left so quick, and I was like, "What?"

Personally, personally, I, I love everyone, you know?

You know what I mean? Uh, but, but him, he's like...

I'm trying to, I'm trying to teach him, because he's had...

Because, like, he, he got a... What do you want?

What do you want? Yeah. I, I'm, I, I love everyone, you know what I mean?

But him, we're... I think the best way to teach people is to, like, you know, inform them to the, the world. You know what I'm saying?

Is he, like, scared of Black people, or like- Not scared. He just, like, he thinks, like, because, you know, the South Side of Chicago violent, he thinks that, like, it's violent.

It's, doesn't make any sense. It's not cool. I think he would do well with, like, a Black friend that grew up, like, um, kind of, like, upper middle class.

Not everyone starts there, but, like, you, you know, he would do well with that person. Yeah, yeah.

I have a lot of Black friends. They're, they're cool, you know what I mean?

They don't just do crime. Exactly. Yeah, yeah, for real.

They don't just do crime. Yeah, I don't, I don't think you should, like, limit yourself just based on, like, you know, uh, the first time you see someone.

You should- What are you doing for him? Like, how are you crossing this chair?

I, I'm trying to tell him, like, "Yo, you, you got to be more open-minded." You know what I'm saying?

How are you going to show him? We're trying. We're trying our best.

Where do you think you can find more Black people? What?

Where do you think you can find more Black people?

Uh- It's not here. Maybe, like, I don't know.

Fort Lauderdale? Fort Lauderdale? That's a place with a lot of lost souls.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But anyway, you're, you're really cool.

Yeah. Good to meet you. I hope you have fun, okay?

I'm, I'm, I'm trying- I hope you get laid.

I'm trying to, I'm trying to help him. I'm trying to help him.
