stop coming to my house talking down to me because I eat meat baby girl I don't care it's not for you baby this is Phoenix please bless the food that these people prepare for me I know it's gonna be good because they was black no offense on my Caucasians but it was black maybe was in his little arm truck I love food truck it was a little it was probably 20 of them in there but it was packed up in there and still looking 1 no grease on the float was no boo no everything was clean but let this nourish my soul and I can eat it and because a man thank all right child let me tell you I went to [ __

burger to the cheese to the bacon ain't nothing is real ain't no way they got all boos you now because they got lured jobs and business and stuff they didn't graduated from college yeah you know why you graduated from college because you old meat daddy paid forward that's how you got the collagen sitting up in here with you love the shoes old that's all I wanted to say thanks for letting me get that off but you ain't no way I don't have a whole lot to add here just one short anecdote years and years and years ago years ago years ago I had one Skype conversation with a notorious left-wing feminist social justice warrior stereotype we all know and love her channel is called a privileged vegan her podcast is called the vegan Vanguard so some of you guys know who I'm talking about some of you don't and she's not merely white she grew up back and forth between France the United States of America I think she identifies as French and she came into this conversation with this heavy victim narrative about how African Americans were being excluded from and oppressed by veganism this is a couple years ago this is before Melissa and I started dating so I was just kind of living a different lifestyle I was listening to a lot of hip-hop radio a lot of hip-hop podcasts and I really had you know with no preparation I didn't know we were gonna talk about this but right off the top of my head I said well what about this guy this guy and this guy I named five different prominent african-american rappers who were vegans or who would at least recorded songs and made statements that were Pro vegan right around that time you know recording rap songs in some cases doing collabs with pedda peoplethe coach remember there's a lot of that stuffing up said what about this guy and this guy people had just published books and given speeches and going on tour supportive Vitas within African American hip-hop demi-monde and a whole lot of those people just at that time I'd seen interviews Charlamagne the gods show there was just a lot of talk and you can even see it in the kind of reaction against veganism you could see it in the number of black African American stand-up comedians talking about because you could catch the vibe anyone who was just exposed to what was going on in the shallowest surface level of African American culture five years ago let's let's round it off it probably was only four years ago at this conversation okay whatever four or five years ago anyone would have picked up on the fact that African Americans are ahead of the trend are leading the trend on the vegan diet even in places like Georgia not just in Chicago not just in New York City not just in Detroit there's a famous famous african-american vegan and eatery in Detroit we've been there a couple times we bought the t-shirt you remember the name of the place babe Detroit vegan soul so specifically soul food black owned black coffee but you know the other vegan restaurants you want to Detroit 50% of the staff would be black 50% of the employees you could see and 50% of the customers were black that's Detroit I mean I'm not gonna tell you Detroit is leading the trend in anything but rust but I mean you know you saw it in Detroit you see yeah Georgia Chicago New York City everywhere and I couldn't believe this left-wing guilt-trip narrative that presumes to treat these people like they're left out and trodden under by veganism well from my perspective globally there among the people leading the way and look guys that's the happy more of this story anybody who wants to lead the way can why is Tel Aviv Israel no reason they have no advantage they have only disadvantages it's a war-torn country and ridiculous political circumstances why would Tel Aviv why is Taiwan leading the way Taipei Kaohsiung je whatever Taiwan as a whole the whole island why are they leading the way because no particularly good reason the people who want to lead are gonna lead the people who want to set the trend are gonna get out there and set the trend and even if from your perspective you think african-americans only have disadvantages let me tell you something they're out there proving you wrong they're turning those disadvantages into advantages and the time is going to come you mark my words african-american vegan food black American vegan soul food is going to get exported from Detroit to Taiwan from Chicago to Israel you're gonna see vegan restaurants in Europe imitating the style of vegan food that's being innovated now by African Americans [Music]
