To put it truthfully, blacks have no power in Amer To put it truthfully, blacks have no power in America or here for that matter,Nada, zilch, zero. Yes, they play sports, they rap and sing on records, they have their own line of clothing and perfume,they host TV shows and concerts, they are Doctors, Lawyers, Politicians and even Judges making lots of money, they do have the power to vote (which is being slowing taken away from them or manipulated - see Florida George Bush and Al Gore) and the power to protest, which they have been doing since the 1950's (deja vu) , but they have no real power. Proof is they watched an African American being killed before their very eyes and were helpless to stop it. Just like they couldn't stop the beating of Rodney King or the recent shooting of Ahmaud Arbery while just jogging down the road. Sadly, the TV show you're watching right now in America is a rerun, you will be seeing it again and again I'm afraid. Bob Marley speaking of course as a black man once said" The Truth is,everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for" Stay healthy and keep your heads up everyone.
The comics or club owners who did make a comment o The comics or club owners who did make a comment on line after the show, didn't question the racism or discrimination statements, they were only interested in trying to smear my character, which was good because it meant I was spot on about the racism. I started my comedy club for and with new up and coming comics and semi-pros in mind. A place where they can fine tune their craft in front of a real audience in a professional surrounding. I refused to let a few comics, comedy club owners and festival organizers, dictate how I should run my club and try to force me out an industry I've been a part of since I was a little more than 14 years old. Not only that, if they are successful, they will no doubt apply those same tactics to other minorities who may come along in the future and try to start their own business. I realize a lot of minority comics don't speak out when they see things that aren't fair or have been discriminated against, this is probably cause if they do, they can probably kiss any future gigs in other clubs goodbye. So they do what most minorities do, they grin and bear it. I can only say to them, stand up and speak out. Do it as a group if you can, if not, go solo. Sometimes, one person speaking out, gives others the courage to say something and realize they aren't alone. Keep in mind, you don't have to perform in all rooms. Some are good and some are bad. I've been told my room is tough because of the rules and conditions. That's ok because my room isn't for everyone. Do your homework. I've had shows at different festivals across Australia, after hosting shows or researching festival procedures, the only Festival I do now is the Adelaide Fringe festival. They were the only ones that treated me like a promoter and not a black promoter. Trust me, there are huge differences between the two. There are other reasons I don't do the other festivals as well which I mention in my stand up comedy book. As I watch what's going on in America at the moment, I hear people on TV say, "Things will get better", unfortunately, sad to say, they won't. This scenario in America has been played out over and over and over again.
towards the outskirts of town. This tactic is ofte towards the outskirts of town. This tactic is often used by the police to scare you. They know in the past, African American men have been beaten and even killed by police officers, while in their custody and before they even make it to jail. To say I wasn't scared, would be a lie. I actually thought at the time I would be killed or as the police often describe it when they fill out a report "Shot while trying to escape". I've never told this story to anyone, even to some of my closest friends, but I thought at this time, it would help put things in prospective. I remember when I was being fingerprinted, the white female police officer asked me what I was arrested for? Then most of the time, like now, I was in a suit so it must have peaked her curiosity, what my charge was. When I told her I'd been arrested for writing down the phone number of a teenager in my arcade, I could tell by the look on her face, she was sorry and knew I shouldn't be there but she was helpless to do anything about. I'll never forget that look.To not only African Americans but people of color around the world, this is a day to day reality. One thing that did touch me about this entire fiasco, I saw white Americans say they are not only there to protest this murder and the treatment of African Americans,but they are also deliberately standing out in front of the black protestors to keep them from being shot by the police. Not afraid to say, that brought a tear to my eye. Listen, I know the focus is mostly on America at the moment but we can't lose sight, here in Australia, since 1991 over 424 Aborigines have died in custody which is appalling. They make up about 3% of Australia's total population but account for nearly 30% of the prison population. This makes them one of the most incarcerated people on the planet. Everyone should be outraged at this, not just the Aborigines.As the only comedy club owner in Australia that's African American, I've been dealing with racism,discrimination, bullying and threats to me and my team for nearly 13 years. Yet I'm still here.I even brought this up on an episode of Q & A, but as I suspected it was largely overlooked or simple ignored by the media.
In memory of George Floyd and other minorities tha In memory of George Floyd and other minorities that have lost their lives while in "Police Custody" I've decided not to do a Joke of the day for the next few weeks. I was born and lived in the USA for over 33 years. As an African American Male, i can relate to the pain and horror that African American Men face on a day to day bases when dealing with the so call "police". I say so called because my father was a police officer and placing him in the same category as this new breed of Police Officers, would be an insult to him and all he stood for while wear his badge. Can't say I've ever had a pleasant experience with any white police officers in America. I graduated from high school and enrolled in college in the same year, I was 17 years old at the time. I worked 2 jobs and went to college at night to save up enough money to open a coin video arcade. It took me 2 years but I did it. It was called "Flashes Fun Palace". All was going well until 4 white police officers found out the new business was owned by an African American. From that point it was constant harassment and intimidation. The kids were constantly being thrown up against the walls outside and threatened, on some occasions, they would handcuff them inside the arcade, in front of their friends, taken outside, and put in their squad car, only to be released several minutes later and told to go home. When I stood up and complained about this treatment, the harassment increased. I even told them my father was a police officer but I found out then that the comradery that exist between white cops, doesnt transfer to black cops. One day, another African American boy was snatched out of the arcade in handcuffs and placed, once again in a squad car, he yelled out the car window which was open for me to take down his number and call is mom, as I walked towards the car with a pen and paper in my hand, I was arrested and the charge was "Interfering".The charge was later dropped but not after i was handcuffed and taken to jail. This wasn't the scary part of this whole ordeal. While transporting me to jail, they didn't drive in the direction of the jail, they deliberately went in the opposite direction -
