If you’re a group of people continuing to use ‘race’ as an excuse, you’re truly pathetic. · The Facts with Jamal 🇺🇸🦅👊

  So the end of the night here, it doesn't really matter who or
• 0:10
  what you are. All of us have gone through some
• 0:13
  form of change and substance. I mean, can we just be honest?
• 0:21
  It doesn't give you a right however, especially if you're
• 0:25
  those people, to essentially use your complexion as an excuse.
• 0:38
  Again, if you are really a black person who looks for a reason to
• 0:46
  use your complexion or to Klingon to decades slash eons to
• 0:53
  go of problems, let me tell you something.
• 1:00
  You are two things so tone deaf with reality that it's not even
• 1:07
  pathetic, but it's more embarrassing.
• 1:11
  And the second thing is you are only holding yourself back from
• 1:21
  being a productive person 'cause as I said many times before,
• 1:29
  every group of race, ethnicity have gone through some form of
• 1:35
  hardship. But do you know the difference
• 1:40
  between those groups and black people?
• 1:43
  Those groups have found a way to not constantly be self-centered,
• 1:49
  to make it all by themselves, or to continue to cling on the
• 1:55
  past. You know what those people did?
• 1:59
  They found ways to adapt to just made the best of whatever
• 2:03
  situation they were in, and they moved on.
• 2:07
  So why can't black people do that?
• 2:10
  Why can't they do that? Because they always want to talk
• 2:14
  about how things have been so unfair from them, you know,
• 2:19
  stealing back to the Jim Crow era and all of that slavery.
• 2:25
  It is 2026. If you can't ultimately find it
• 2:32
  within yourself to get with the program, live in reality, and
• 2:38
  stop bitching about decades ago, then what do you think is gonna
• 2:46
  happen when you ultimately find yourself as far as the community
• 2:55
  continue to be in the spotlight for every other reason troubling
• 3:01
  wise, that has nothing to do with you all being productive
• 3:04
  humans. See, it's all about self
• 3:08
  accountability, it's all about taking ownership and it's all
• 3:13
  about being able to move on and actually learn from the past
• 3:21
  while not forgetting it but having to put it to bed to be
• 3:25
  bad. But again, with those people is
• 3:30
  always everyone else's fault but theirs.
• 3:35
  But yet they get mad at me and others who broke away from them
• 3:40
  for calling out their hypocrisy. So let me ask you all this.
• 3:45
  Is it me, along with others who broke away from them?
• 3:49
  Is it our fault for staying what they are currently lacking and
• 3:54
  what they don't want to do as far as moving forward?
• 3:58
  Or is it the people who continue to use the past as an excuse to
• 4:06
  essentially make themselves victims?
• 4:13
  Now, while you think about that, think about this.
• 4:17
  Now, I'm not usually the type of person that could go on a rant
• 4:27
  and essentially put people with a shame.
• 4:31
  Now that would be for Wednesday on the second installment of JJ
• 4:36
  on Reach. But here's the long and the
• 4:39
  short. You cannot continue to find any
• 4:46
  reason for an excuse or a clutch to help you.
• 4:52
  Because I'm telling you right now, if you really think life is
• 4:55
  going to look at you a lot better because you have that
• 4:58
  kind of mindset, then it will not be a surprise when you
• 5:03
  ultimately find yourself on the 8 ball because you choose not to
• 5:08
  adapt and modernize with the times that's here 'cause you
• 5:13
  can't do anything smart about it.
• 5:19
  So if you really are the type of person to use any metric, if you
• 5:24
  will, as an excuse, you really gotta stop.
• 5:29
  Cause at the end of the day, nobody cares about your past
• 5:34
  beginnings or what have we all have gone through some form of
• 5:39
  hardship, struggle and circumstance.
• 5:45
  You cannot use that as a justification to you act the way
• 5:51
  you are to be, you know, so hesitant on not adapting and
• 5:57
  adjusting and to find a way to make it all about you.
• 6:04
  If you want to be viewed in a different light and in a better
• 6:09
  way, change and stop, bitch.
