Although he agreed with Vlad, he said it’s not something bothers him because being from Louisiana, he’s been around racism all of his life. “I think the blacker the skin, the more fear we bring to people,” the rapper shared. “I really do feel that. That’s just apart of life.” Boosie said that black people, too, are guilty of colorism, “
“The lighter the skin, sometimes people do look at you weaker,” he added. “That’s why a lot of light-skinned dudes be proving theyself because it’s different—it ain’t that much different, it’s kinda different. ‘Cause these days, everybody look the same. If you black these days most people, we really lookin’ black because we bring treated like that anyway.”
Vlad had a moment where he expressed his hope that what people use to divide will no longer be a practice that we follow in the future, but Boosie interrupted by saying he wanted his “reservations.” He was corrected because he meant “reparations” and he added, “I want my motherf*ckin’ reparations! !” Check out the conclusion to Boosie’s conversation with VladTV below.
