Adam Carolla vs. Gavin Newsom: What's Wrong With Blacks And Latinos?

[Bud Bundy]

Carolla is an idiot in general, and not even remotely funny. I don't know how he got a career.

He was never a good comedian but he is a good business man. He owns a network of podcasts.

You pointed towards Jews and Asians receiving compensation as a form of fix it all method. I brought up the facts that the Natives have received compensation and continue to receive compensation but they are still in a state of disarray, and doing a lot worse than Blacks in several categories. What does that imply?

Consider that only the Japense received compensation, not Indians, Chinese, etc.. Consider that most of Jewish compensation happened to be exclusively given to European Jews by European governments.

Your entire argument is hogwash.

what are YOU implying exactly? Why are you so insistent on invoking NA's here? You say that Native Americans, as a collective, are doing worse than AA's (whatever that means)...so your theory is that blacks would be worse off than they already are, and in theory worse than NA's, had we received reparations? Can you please tell me in what parallel universe that makes sense? Why are you so hostile towards the idea that black folks could have replicated the success of the japanese/Jewish community?

I never said they couldn't or wouldn't be able to. I merely challenged your claim that reparations or compensation is the root cause of success for the sforementioned groups, something you have yet to provide tangible proof or evidence for.

Tangible proof? Studies on economic and social mobility reflect that success begets success, meaning that children born into a certain economic class overwhelmingly settle and remain in that class. Children born in family with means, have greater opportunities and resources to enjoy success. The inverse, poverty begets poverty, is true as well. Obviously.

What does that have to do with compensations of Asians for example. The Japenese were given payments but what happens with the Indians, Chinese, etch that didn't receive it?

I have no idea what argument you're trying to make and how it relates to Corrolla's specific comment, which questioned why Jews and interned Asians are far better off than Blacks despite the former groups, according to Corrolla, having it worse off or whatever he said. He conveniently left out that those groups received financial compensation.

Dispiciable misinformed rhetoric has come to be expected from the Adam corolla types of the world. My question is why anylize the black/Latin community? With the head start and continued advantages white folks get there shouldn't be ANY of them poor or uneducated? Why is the white community so fukked up?

I want one of these Adam corolla types to address these questions.

Descendants of slaves in America do not have financial backing from a foreign nation which is what a lot of other groups have that we dont have. Europeans got a head start with slavery. Other groups got theirs with organized crime, embezzlement and then reinvesting the money from overseas crime/businesses into infrastructure in America. Asians have money flowing in from their respective countries to businesses in America and churches which provide loans to people in the community. Africans do the same. African Americans are alone in the world so the money we generate must be made internally and invested internally because it is not going to come from a foreign nation in Africa since we are a nameless people. Its sad Corollas mind has given way to demonic philosophy.

Its so demonic, friends.

 

[rapbeats]

problem is its a lot easier to fukc some sh1t up than it is to fix it. the US fukced us up with slavery and then the subsequent discrimination (including destroying the african family unit)... now that theyve stopped overtly doin said shyt (in some cases if we choose to overlook the repubs and voter reg/profiling/etc) to simply say, "okay, now stop bein broken..." is fukcin insanse.

Its easy for me to drop a vase from the top of the stairs, only takes a second... how long is it going to take me to glue those fukcin pieces back together though? will it ever be like it would be if I never dropped it? What if I never really make an effort to put those pieces back together, just tell the pieces, "hey, Im not dropping you anymore, get back together..."

So yeah, its possible to climb outta this shythole they put us in. But without actual shyt in place to reverse what was originally done I wouldnt even expect large numbers to do it. The people that broke the shyt have to actively put it back together on some "you broke it, you buy it" shyt.

stands up...slow clap...

He's an idiot, but his Birchum character from Crank Yankers was one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life.

Word. Never watched that show myself. Everything I've seen him in has been pretty bad. I also can't stand his voice/speaking style.

 

[NYC Rebel]

Why do comedians and sports writers go all fake sociologist when it comes to the black community, reaching for the most obvious and easiest things available?

Does anyone here believe that Adam Carrolla spent any time reading literature on African Americans which had an appendix of some sort within the book?

[Black Hans]

Kinda strange that the people who had most of their people wiped out on this continent and the other ones that were brought here as slaves still have it the worst off. Coincidence?

 

[hayesc0]

Not really. What works most often and what doesn't is well known world wide. Mainstream America ignores these things because of our philosophical ideologies.

Its fine for someone like Corolla to make it. There are just as many blacks and latinos that made it from tough spots, which is why he's just being an ignorant comedian. His generalizations about who is successful is ridiculous as well. Disadvantaged populations with similar histories that especially are not recognized within that society struggle world wide. Any immigrant that moved to a country, the US in our case, to work or go to school, or even of their own passion is going to probably be a successful population. Stop comparing everyone to them. I don't make excuses. It just is what it is, and idiots like Carolla do nothing but harm by speaking with ignorance and empowering ignorance.

this has been my problem with him every since I found out about his positions on social issues he seems to paint black people with a broad brush
