Fox Sports Host’s Disgusting Attempt to Race Bait Lil’ Wayne Backfires, as Rapper Gives Touching Testimony Instead
I don’t listen to a lot of Dwayne Michael Carter Jr.’s – more popularly known as Lil’ Wayne – music, and he’s been involved in some serious controversies in the past, but after watching this I have garnered a new amount of respect for him.
Carter was recently on the show “Undisputed,” a sports debate show hosted by Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe. During Carter’s time on camera, Bayless and Sharpe shamelessly, and continuously tried to bait the rapper into speaking out about the racism that infects this country, and how his life has been affected by it.
Try as they might, however, Carter would not resort to any self-victimization. In fact, Carter’s responses flew in the face of the narrative they were attempting to build, going so far as to state that he has never had to deal with racism thanks to his blessed life, that his white fans are diverse and unconcerned with racism, and even finished off with a story about how his life was saved by a white police officer.
Frankly, Carter seemed to inadvertently embarrass the hosts, as the rapper’s unwillingness to engage in the racist narrative highlighted the host’s own racism. Carter shines here, and in that moment puts light on just how guilty our media is in continuing a narrative that many wish would die already.
Watch below.
