Breakfast Club Classic: Childish Gambino A.K.A. Donald Glover On White Privilege & Twitter Activism

because I don't like that you go and say I'm not better they don't control me and I'm using control I really feel like we are your existence I feel like we are all God we are what we want to be we can do that but we have to work together and I feel like now on our own generation liked me as if they knew it. I'm really fighting and I'm fighting for our amount to quantify our worth like when they shoot us in the streets they basically say you're worthless it's like and we have data from 400 years of data we see what happens every time so I'm here saying, yeah, I'm going to wear this I'm going to do exactly what I want to do I'm going to say this on Twitter Twitter black can get mad

white

people can get mad I don't care I have to be me because I have to quantify my words like I was dating jaded like Jane Smith I love James I love him he's a man like he's so smart, he really does I know people don't get it I get it, he's light years ahead and he gets it and he's like, yeah.

It's just like Chris Rock said this too and he's so smart, it's like what black people need more than anything is a chance to fail, like Jaden has a chance to fail and learn that that's really what

white

kids can do. do. fail all the time be like no I didn't work I'm going to try again I've never had the opportunity to feel that's why I'm exceptional that's why we're exactly five four times since Radio I've had many opportunities to feel that's why I'm successful, right, you learn of your failures, everyone does it, but how many opportunities do you really have?

As if I had my brother. I tell you a lot today that you don't give them the opportunity to fail because the police will kill you in the street, they will lock you up for hundreds of years for nothing, so they won't give you the opportunity to feel. I agree with that right to a certain extent, but in life, in general, we are not allowed. to like to fail I just want to be free I just want to be so honest and free because I rewrite now it's like that's our fight I feel like that anyway I think so what's Jaden Smith's involvement in your mixtape that you I've come , oh yeah, that's why I came, no, I mean, I mean Jaden, I just like him.

I feel like he really represents the character that was on the Internet, because the Internet really represents that, but I also think he's, I think he's very smart. and he's good with his brand, like he understands, he's like, yeah, this is what I'm going to do, like I have opportunities, even though people don't, so I'd like to find out, so I felt like he was great to have. one person there and it was this analysis function. I thought yeah, you could totally get out. He's a cool guy. Do you know what I like about the Jade man?

Jaden says things that are common sense but that people analyze so deeply. Jaden will be like look well, he'll tweet, look around you and you won't see anything, look around you and he'll see, you'll see and he's very calm, but he's real, that's real, you'd say common sense things. and it would be crazy, but sometimes he drops something, like he's dropping things, like he comes to my house and we're talking about, like you know, doing what you want to do, it's like he sees a man and he. He was wearing some kind of weird tights, they're weird tights and he goes on and on and says, look, he said, I know I left the house today without pants.

I did it on purpose. He says, "I don't care." he's freer than we all like and I'm not trying to say that's what we should aspire to. I'm saying that my job right now is to make sure other kids like to feel like they can do whatever they want. because I still feel like you can't say that and then say that it's 400 years of systemic oppression that proves that we can't do that. No, I'm just saying it'll get worse before it gets better, like people don't like me. Speaking of what I'm talking about, people aren't going to like it, yeah, well, I mean, people can't like it, people say, who cares?

People care, at the end of the day it's like Malcolm X Martin it's like they die, they kill them, there are other things like them. I killed them like that, I think it's dangerous because people don't want that to happen and I'm sure you see all the reaction on your own Twitter, yeah I see people like people, people scare me every day, what do you have? mad at you when you rejected the idea of ​​

activism

on

twitter

, yes, ethically you say you thought it was pointless, well it was. I was using that term kind of

activism

to be like when you just retweet something that you don't do, yeah, because like this is how we did it, we've done it a million times, right, we retweet, you've said, you know what to bring back to our girls, you know, bringing back and doing those things and retweeting is good because, like, part one, we all are.

Aware that it generates awareness. I still use it. That's the cool and weird thing about people saying, "I was like I tweeted about Eric Gardner like two days before. It was like I tweeted about some Chamberlain in the brass." he tweeted about bail like I tried I'm not bailing because that was before but I'm aware of all this stuff but I'm doing something to get cops to dress like cops like we're a video and stuff that They are difficult, I don't want to say. I just started that in New York, which is great. I think it's great.

It's a trial where you know a lot of officers will have to wear cameras, but we'll see what happens. You do not want. make this dark you believe in media brainwashing right the media absolutely that's why they call it a radio show and a tv show because we can program you to think a certain way now I think it's to like certain things that I'm not so you can plant Certain things I definitely feel like in the last few weeks there's been all these conversations about white

privilege

, whether it's true football right

privilege

, what white privilege is.

I really think they are doing it to reinforce the fears and prejudices that certain people already have. or planting the seeds that some people never had in them, making them say, hey, it's white privilege, you're not as good as white people, you should have any already complex theory. I really feel like that, man, the rhetoric I'm hearing. of people now, even when you're sitting here talking it makes me feel like, well, look, that's heavy, light, that's very heavy, the thing is we'll never know, that's what's so sad as if we don't If we knew, I will always be alone.

Donald, I will always be black like a white person, you will always be white like we really don't, you can't, your path would have been different if you were a white person, my experience is always different, it will always be different. It doesn't matter, it's like we look too deep into the bottles, the president believed, but I'm like he can't do anything. The fact that Americans came together to vote to put him in the White House shows how far we have come. I'm not saying we haven't come very far, but it's like in a weird way it makes it harder because now everyone's like, look, look, okay, that's weird, we're good, but it's like, but we.

You are not good. I'm still like a cop and threatened to shoot myself about a month ago. It seems like a month ago and he knew he wasn't going to tell anyone. I mean, I can tell you nothing that could happen. tell someone and then what does the story tell us what happened was it you that we were I mean like this happened a couple of times like which one the most recent where were we like there's a flashlight is Sweden there's Las Vegas yeah it was fine I mean , that was a time about the shot What are you?

Well that's what I'm saying is like I have a defense. Should I look like this? Okay, that's what I'm saying. I look like this and they are like me. I'm sure the thing is people test me and they'll be like you, you, soft, you go soft, it's like I grew up in Stone Mountain, that's where the pie, pie, pie came out again, like I knew that it had to be like this all my life. life I don't like when people test me because I mean you can test me but I'm still good from Atlanta so what happened tell us what happened well this was a while ago but like I was in Las Vegas.

Could I be doing a show? My parents are slightly disabled like my dad had a bad back, my mom was broken and stuff, but anyway I'm trying to help them and get in and we're at the door and I'm like, hey, I'm a

childish

gambino

about to get in. Can you let us in there? Someone and they can confirm it. He comes in hot and says, "There's trouble." Yes, I'm about to act. I'm just trying to convince my parents. He says, "Get off the sidewalk." I get off the curb and he just walks away and I said okay and I'm waiting for them.

He says we can't contact the stage manager. I'm like, my parents are sitting there like they've been walking for a while, I already had a problem and then I'm waiting for them and then the cop comes and he's like, hey, get off the street now and I'm like, I was like. my parents could. I'm not walking, I'm trying to get in. I have a performance in ten minutes and then he says, "We have a problem with the hand in the holster, right?" Don't do this and my mom literally has tears in her eyes don't do this mmm because he knows because we all know who knows how to wait for me and it's like you're helpless that's what they're essentially telling you. like you're worthless and that's what this is like you're worthless and our job, our responsibility, I feel like what I am, whatever movement is happening when I talk to Jay and when I talked to him, like when Malia comes to my shows. and things like that second generation of black people, we understand that we have to take ownership of what we do, which is Bill's culture mmm, we do this, we build a culture like what we have to do, we have to own it and, like or not, it must be a registered trademark. now and back to the reminder that we are gods and goddesses and kings and queens but that's what reminding each other isn't enough we just have to live it like that's what it is people it's so easy to do on tumblr and tweet. do it and do it and have that perception that yes, I do it, this is very difficult to live like this, the thing is like saying what you want like Mickey Blanco, who is a rapper friend, like God, he is like that, a transvestite, like so much like you wanted like you hate him I love him he goes to Russia he has to be weird and gay he's weird they're like that's dangerous they could kill him I have to be like that everywhere mmm so you have to live it that's what I'm saying it's like already we couldn't talk about it anymore I'm living this like people want to talk about me people want to say that I say what I want to say in my raps I mean it I'm from Atlanta I'm fine I should, I should be on "be easy", I'm black, okay, new project coming up, it'll be out whenever, probably in the next two weeks, tell me your girls like you, that's cool.

I want people to understand that it's cool. like me and not how the characters are going to be, I get it, I'm not talking like the thing is like I'm not talking to Charlotte Mays, I'm not talking to a flag like the eldest, I'm actually talking to young white kids because guess what? They have the power, we influence the culture, we influence them, I tell them as if they were listening to me, determined, how do they have the power, because they appropriate it, oh, stop, no, no, we had Janae, I cooperate with the other one the other day, there was a rumor that you were dating and shooting down that as an aunt, the truth is no, yes, you already told us that she was not people so that people would understand our relationship because it is strange, I think she is like people, she is a beautiful girl it's like why aren't we smashing that kind of stuff?

It's like, I just don't see it that way, I just like it, I don't like being written to like you guys, I think I've been celibate for a while. minute like how long I don't know the last time we liked it I don't know it's probably like four months that's not for me it's what does it mean I mean what's the reason oh I just want to see If I could do it it just didn't seem like the right way and besides it would be a waste of time like when you're trying to get to girls for an hour and sometimes maybe like they're like, you know what I'll do?

Talk to you some more and you're fine and you have to go. The thing is, I'm not like I once met that girl. I definitely want to talk to her, but she's generally like most of her types. They're trying to squish, hang, and sit still, and that's a waste of time. Okay, I know a lot of women. I'm sure you could connect if you wanted to. You are stealing from your group. You love at least. I don't want to. doing that bothers me, but also those girls are like they're not in that moment anymore, where it's fun to do that in that moment, it was okay, what's going on, you know, this isn't, it's not like that, it's fun. ya and it's also like you know, I'm, you know, I'm not a young chicken, like, I'm not trying to be liked, doing that, it's not as fun as it used to be, you know, they sell it before until a girl intrigues me and she's Well, really, let's use lotion, although, of course, you masturbate.

Oh absolutely, how do you keep your brain non-gay? No, I mean, you know people will say, "Oh,You don't want to break your knee." I go, he's sober, he's gay, I mean, maybe, maybe I. I'm like I don't know but he has a really I haven't tried it I don't know there's definitely been guys, I mean I know how girls like them, Tigers, I definitely, I definitely understand why, man, he's amazing, yeah, not even more handsome I see how he deals with girls. I feel like he does. , okay, for me it's Prince, well, he's like, well, I went to a man crusher, it was like oh, he has like because he has a feminine type What you, man, when I met Prince, he glamorized me.

Like I was just something there like I gave him a hug like Oh pride, I'm messing with that I didn't want anything to do with relationships anyway Judging by your music No, I only have real relationships I know I'm an emotional person I'm very passionate person hmmm like I feel certain ways and then tonight I'll get there. I'm coming on September 25th, yeah, same birthday with your name tight, yeah, like when your birthday is coming up, you know what happened. I'm still doing well. By doing it, we're realizing that, that's what I really want people to know, it's like I'm entering, I feel like I'm entering a point where it's like I understand what I'm doing, like I'm doing a book. on the show and the mixtape it's almost there, people think that, but I wanted to keep it out there, like it's a little mysterious.

I just want people to take it as it is, like if Jaden is there, the money that goes to them goes. Half the money goes to changing policies so police officers use video and audio and the other half goes to help explain why, so it's a good project. I'm very excited, but we appreciate you joining us in preaching a message of equality. in every area you know we are all human beings it's not a black thing I think we're green and I don't want it to not be a war it's not black against white I just need people to understand that's what I'm fighting for I'm fighting for fighting to be me that's just being me I want I want us to be us and also understand that we are this is important and you're from Stone Mountain lives in Atlanta dr.

Martin Luther King Jr. Could we preach his message of judging people by the content of their character, not by the color of their skin, not by their sexuality, as we have done, that already seems to be the case and I don't think we don't think we don't do that ? Think about it all, so why not worry about what the bad guys are doing? Let's do what we know is right but sometimes it gets to you yeah tattoos so what we're asking you I think now is not the time as I know a lot of people because like people are calling us like new blacks.

I remember on Twitter that yes, I understand that yes, absolutely, you don't see new blacks in me. I have new blacks really because of how you are, use in what because of my views of preaching equality of saying, let's be Jeff because of the content of his character and there are people that I like and not after killing us, so why that we should look at them like no, that's the way I choose to live my life? No, we just look, all we have to know is that we all like we're all in the same boat that's the thing at the end of the day everyone in these we're all in the same boat and there needs to be some solidarity to times like I'm not buying anything on Black Friday I want to show how much my money affects things like I'm not buying anything Black Friday I want to show people my worth that's what I'm doing I'm ours our job is to show our work like it's not I do, so I don't use certain products that will do that, I use this because I say, yeah, if you really love me, you'll let me have a meeting like this, it makes them better than I refuse to believe it no, I really don't know, that it's what you're worth it's about showing it's about showing them I think I think we're implementing an inferiority complex in our people not because I don't know good people, bad people, only right people are wrong, people are bad, they're positive, negative people, the way it works.

I have an amazing Carson. I have an absolutely cool car everywhere, but pretending there's no insight into who you are from the start is a little silly, as does racial profiling. it doesn't exist in general, like I mean, I'm saying that's something that I don't think is bad, like a person who is good, that something is like a good person can be racist like that, saying that a good person can't be right. . In fact, I feel like a prejudiced man, they are two different things, yes, we could be raised like that, it's like I consider myself Rice.

I do it because I grew up in a world where race matters, it sounds like it matters, like I know how. I have to act when I'm in certain situations I know how to act in these situations I know that with this person think with me I've been told you speak so well probably more than anyone in And that's crazy, no white kid has ever been told that you talk so well, so it's like I'm saying that the perception is that there is a perception there and we like the people we live in, even the white people who are cool and awesome and still nice.

We live in a world that has things that remind you, so it's our job to show them and it's hard, you know, we just have to be a little loud, but I agree with you, I think there are good people at Beby and it's great. They call you new black I think it's a good baby, you know what it means means you have your own opinion, that will be a headline,
