Yea, I can't find it but it was something like "they're always trying to connect with Africa which is funny because they aren't African"
And I remember how hard the audience applauded. Decided he wasn't for me after that

Sounds ignorant, but maybe he just meant that they are culturally American? Still an ignorant thing to say tho.

Rarely if ever see him mentioned on here but I'm sure y'all will make up some shyt and worship him and shyt on AA's (even though this board has a lot more than full AA's) so I'll let you cook

Found the full interview. The lady is Zeinab Badawi, Sudanese-British journalist.

WE DID NOT MAKE UP THE TERM AFRICAN AMERICAN. WHITE PEOPLE MADE UP THE TERM

Where are all these black Americans fighting to visit or live in Africa? He's right, we don't have a connection to Africa. If we did we wouldn't be in such poverty, imagine us having the hookup to the most resourceful continent on the planet. All the oil, diamonds and resources from Africa would have to go thru us first.

:ehh: Usually dropping truth bombs

(waits for someone to point out the Tomi Lauren incident they gave a pass to Charlamagne on)

He's the only guy I frequently listen. This generation is full of idiots so his knowledge goes over their heads. I bet if MLK or Malcolm X was alive, they would be on Twitter getting blasted and called c00ns.

He's a BIRACIAL South African.

He's not even full black.

He's a complete outsider.

This is where I get confused. Because if he is in America, making money on American TV and American Televisions shows and he's black then you would call him a c00n for NOT speaking on black issues

And he's from South Africa which has just as much racism, if not more, than America. He's the perfect candidate to speak on black America simply for the fact that white people here are trying to set shyt up like South Africa where white ppl are 20% of the population but 90% of the wealth now that they are dying out.

when does Trevor ever get militant about South Africa's racism or racism in general?

He's a kumbaya liberal.
