Paul Wall Talks Facing Racism with Black Wife

www.vladtv.com - Growing up, rapper Paul Wall was taught to coexist with others, regardless of their race. Although southern states have proven to be more pro-Confederate than others, Wall says he doesn't see too much of that in Houston. "In Texas there's definitely some racism there, but me personally, I feel the greatest amount of racism when I travel with my [Black] wife to the East Coast. Certain other areas, man, it's way worse than Texas," says the father of two biracial children.
Paul Wall also commented on his friend Yelawolf's choice to incorporate the Confederate flag into his outfits. "It means something different for him than what it means to a lot of other people," Paul explains. "And I ain't mad at him for representing that, I mean I ain't mad at him for standing up for what he believe in. 'Cause to him it doesn't stand for racism. And Yelawolf [is] not a racist person at all, so when he say that he's not saying 'I believe in the Confederate flag and I'm racist.' That's just what he stands up for for his culture."
Watch as Paul Wall discusses racism in the South and more above.

[@paulharding1972]

He does not sound "black", he sounds street. He speaks the way of the culture he's grown up with and lives with. Sounding "black" means that all black people have only one way of speaking and sounding.

[@yoseflopez5141]

Sounding street is derivative of black culture and no it does not mean that black people have only one way of sounding so I have no idea how you came up with that. Sounding black means that you speak in a way that derives from black culture and there's many different ways that black people speak. Street is one of them as it derives from hip hop culture....therefore he sounds black.

Man he explained it good about growing up in Texas and racism. I am from a really small town in Texas and I didn’t really know racism or anything of that nature until I was older. That’s even after coming from a backwoods country family. Racism is not in anyone’s DNA it is taught.

[@hunterjordan4327]

Are you sure about that? Have you walked in another persons shoes. Imagine someone who grew up to be an innocent poor White conservative patriotic Christian 🇺🇸 American. But he comes from a broken liberal and secular non religious unpatriotic home in a predominately Black and Latino neighborhood. He’s pretty much raising himself because his mother is an addict and his abusive father is not around. And he has values and grew up around these people, and he always tried to be nice but they took his kindness for weakness and they pushed him around or insulted him and mocked him and laughed at him and what not. Even the what he thought were the decent Blacks or decent Mexicans he thought were his friend, went behind his back and cheated with his first ever Puerto Rican girlfriend that he fell in love with. Because they are street people and he’s unfortunately a good man growing up in an ignorant and immoral neighborhood where honor and integrity and goodness are not valued. And then he sees and experiences all this affliction and betrayal, and he comes to the educated conclusion that he knows there has to be some that are decent church going family oriented Black and Latino people, but not in the environment he grew up. But for the most part, the stereotypical racism and general consensus about Blacks and Hispanics are true, and he becomes a racist himself after all the disrespect he has endured from these ethnic groups being the extreme minority in his environment. Not that he hates them and wishes they all died, but he just rather not have anything to do with them, and would never trust to have a friendship with any Black or Latino guys, or have any romantic relationship with a Black or Latina woman, because all he saw was toxic and ghetto ignorant and ungodly behavior, even from so called professed Christians. Huh? What do you got to say about the White guy in America that has experienced that. Say what you want about White peoples being racist, but I don’t think they will befriend a Black or Hispanic person, to just use them or sleep with their wife or girlfriend. White people are at least straight up about those type of things and generally speaking do not tolerate lying or cheating or stealing in their community. So yeah, sometimes racism comes from experience, and not from being taught.

I will always love Paul Wall as one of his fans, and I feel blessed we are in the same time frame of existence.

[@trevzzdadevz]

Paul Wall demonstrated something more people need to have - a balanced viewpoint.

[@elisampley7598]

When a real white guy from the streets and a white guy who wants so bad to be part of it do an interview lol. Big ups Paul Wall

[@truth282]

I lived in Houston untill 5th grade when my family moved to small town Tennessee. I never knew what racism was until we left Houston.

[@Lordpraisethe]

I like this guy.

[@adonthefather4697]

He's probably similar to an Ant, cause he's low to the Earth.

[@zeldarfromplanetbeldar4188]

[@alphachingon6920]

I was married to a Moroccan woman for 18yrs and the amount of racism we’ve faced was insane. Now I’m married for three years with a (white skin) Dominicana and not even once she was targeted by racism! I wonder how it would go if she was a black skin Dominicana 🤔

[@Robert-rl7rd]

That’s sad man

[@sevenbullsinc]

I was raised in Texas but I live in California now and I've felt way more racism in California then Texas.

[@charlesl.nemons3021]

Plus Texas was a republic after seceding from Mexico!,before Confederate help then it became a state!

That's why we use the tourism slogan "Texas is like a whole other country"

[@EisforEvil]

Houston(where I live) is not some small back water town in the middle of Alabama or Mississippi, it's a city that's more than likely more diverse than wherever you stay. It's not anymore racist than any other place and a strong argument can be made that it's one of the least racist cities in the country.

[@villadelrefugio]

Im black, even though the guy in the profile picture is white. Rice University just confirmed that Houston is the most diverse city in America

[@TehSymbiote]

Another black guy here and i moved to Houston in '01 from Cincinnati and i haven't experienced blatant racism once since I've been here.

I've met Paul Wall several times, even when he first started coming out on Swishahouse CDs before he blew up. He was friendly and humble every time.

[@JohnSmith-if4zi]

Im convinced Wall was black in his past life.

[@jacobmaldonado6406]

That's what the black berry does to you

[@Joe-li3gb]

Nah. He’s just from Houston. That’s the culture.

[@RocketCityRob]

When I see a black man with a white women or vice-versa. I don't pay attention to the couple I look at the reaction of other people; the shock and all that. My Lil brother mixed and I don't judge by color. I feel Paul Wall. 1, 💯

I'm 46 yrs old! I'm born, and raised in SW Houston/ Missouri City, Tx, Annex!!!! I went to School with many different Races of People, and Cultures! My Parents weren't Racist! We had Black, White, Asian, Middle Eastern People ect! Growing up, I saw the beauty of People as a whole, throughout my life, until today in February, 2022!!! I've never felt, or have been Racist in my life!!! And, I instilled acceptance, and equality into my 4 Daughters!!! Life's Revolving Door of love, and acceptance!!!

[@brucekent9085]

OMG lmaoooo

[@ms.und3rst00d6]

Bruce Kent He is white. That is what’s wrong with black people. We are way too accepting. Granted many like his music but he is still white. Don’t get it twisted just because he enjoys our culture, no shade. His boy reps the confederate flag

[@williammorales9185]

That friggen hilarious! I'm rolling on the floor(but not in flower - that would just make me light-brown. Wait, I'm half white anyways).

[@pjds1989]

He must not have been on 290 between Prairie View and Austin. Its a big ass billboard of a confederate flag right over the highway. There were businesses in my town hanging the confederate flag.

[@dcoppedge06]

I met him at a small concert in downtown houston. And he was nothing but nice and respectful with a big smile on his face.! And talking to and hanging out with his fans. Cool ass dude.!

[@nathanielanderson7567]

People...be concerned about your own life instead of the way other people are living; no one is going to be buried with you.

[@AngelHxze]

He's right. There are so many different cultures/races here that you cant help but peacefully coexist. Of course, there are those people who can't let the past go, but for the majority, it's alright.

"What it do baby....Its the ice man Paul Wall"

[@j.vinton4039]

Love that thick Texas twang. Paul Wall was extremely relatable to a lot of us growing up in Texas, even dudes who weren’t involved with that kinda life. Even decades later, I still bump Paul Wall in my car.

[@irh1738]

Same. Grew up in South West London in the 90s and before the 90s too it was very white and racist. But then became one of the most culturally diverse places and I grew up with friends from all backgrounds.
