Opie & Anthony Ant vs Patrice on Oprahs Ghetto Speak

[@matthewherzog6155]

These conversations between Ant and Patrice are the most honest discussions of race I have heard in any public media.

[@ZZ-oc4lh]

It's what I miss most. Patrice and ant were both being 100% honest with each other in an unfiltered conversation, without either of the two feeling/knowing the other was lying. Both had "goofy" (throwback to Patrice) sides to their argument, but both had realistic conversations that won't be had ever again for a public forum

patrice is holding bacc to avoid flipping on ant . Pic up on the sarcasm

[@antonio8904100]

Absolutely

[@BrooklynPerson30000]

thats true.. unfortunately ant is too pre-programmed one way, and patrice the other way- so while they were both personally honest, the world they presented was often unrealistic

I don’t think he a racist. That implies that he thinks whites are better than blacks, and I don’t think he thinks that. His relationship with Patrice and Keith Robinson, and other black people, demonstrates that. It seems he just has problems with, or doesn’t understand, elements of the black culture.

[@sentientdogma1206]

I refuse to code switch. It’s completely disrespectful to yourself and the person you are talking with that happens to speak in a different cadence or different vernacular than you. Look if you have black friends that are college educated and incredibly articulate you shouldn’t need to disrespect a younger black guy that doesn’t have a higher education that talks “thuggish” Fact is, you develop your own style of communication and blanket it to everyone and instead of “code switching” you speak honestly and feel out the situation.

[@Allinyo]

@@sentientdogma1206 yea but it's not about doing it between your peers, it's mainly used for predominantly white work places or social settings. We've developed it out of a necessity to disarm white people and conform to their societal standards of how a civilized and respectable person speaks. Alot of the time, they won't give you the time of day if you speak to them the way that you speak to other black people.

When Patrice talked about what white people buy I lost my shit! hahaha. Fucking life size superman model for 5g's

[@nickdipaolofan5948]

So true. But the scale is what is troubling in the black community. When a white dork buys a 5k superman doll, other white people make fun of him just as much as black people. But when a black person spends 5k on rims for a car only worth 2k, all the other blacks don't bat an eye. Also, blacks tend to spend a lot of money on depreciating assets (expensive cloths, rims that will be out of style in 5 years, jewelry that is tacky and will be dated in 5 years, etc). Although I laugh at the dork buying a superman comic book or some shit, at least those are collectibles and likely to go up in value over the years. This is why blacks on average have almost no net worth, because they purchase shit that does not keep its value, but whites usually buy things that maintain or go up in value over time.

[@jacktaryon388]

This is a great example of why Opie and Anthony being very different worked so well.

@@nickdipaolofan5948 saying politicians pander is like saying water is wet. I don’t really see how it implicates minorities who are being read to. A sad reality is that Black people are, on average, much more likely to be poor in this country and would ostensibly benefit more from voting for the political party that is at least talking about attempting to possibly do some sort of programs to help the poor.
