I do agree with the message for the most part; I should've clarified. But I really don't agree with this idea he has that his race should take full responsibility and the white world is in no way to blame for the problems they face. I thought it was petty to carry on about people using lots of slang, and especially goofy how he poked fun at people for having what he deemed unusual names. So much of it came off as judgmental to me; I don't how much of it was meant in jest because I didn't actually hear it, but I doubt that would make it okay to me if it were in jest.
