Wow, how ironically cliche can "foolz" be?

Now that was just ridiculous....

this is why illiterate people should not text or email folks!

And for the record...NO YOU ARE NOT A RACIST!!!!
I have never ever felt that way about you and not once did I ever feel you talked down about any race...instead you talk about ways we could ALL be better!

I'm sorry you got that email...you of all people didn't deserve it...

You probably know that hate like that is a lot more about the author than the intended audience.

The video is brilliant.

I first saw it months ago when it was shared by someone on my sangha. I am glad to connect it with you, the really interesting guy I follow on twitter. :)

wow.....wow......
I'm glad you posted this. Transparency is a bazooka
in the fight against ignorance.

except for that "check yo race" part, methinks this fool should the advice he gave you in that last sentence.

I... well... its.... *thud*

There are no words. No I mean...there are no real words in that hate mail! What is that? Seriously?

I've been in the presence of a white friend when he accidentally said something that sounded racist to a black friend and while he was apologizing I had to leave the room because I had a strong physical reaction to it. This email brought out the same emotion. Sorry someone thought you needed to hear that, Jay.

Is that guy actually one of those overtly racist Obama supporters I have been hearing about. My they are quite distinctive in their incoherent ramblings. A rare breed in deed.

Oh. My. I can't even wrap my brain around that..that..hateful spew.

I have to wonder if he's taking exception to your accent. I'm a midwestern white woman -- with the verbal tics and mannerisms that go with it -- and I've gotten chastised for the way I talk not because of the words that I've chosen, but because of the 'way I say them'.

God forbid I start turning my 'ing' into 'en' at the end of words. The same woman has twice objected to that and 'recommended I use my education when I speak'.

Is this a Little Hater, lurkin? Because a "Little Hater" whether a metaphorical mental setback to oneself or whether its a real living hater, is still irrelevant. This hater sounds like he/she is mad because TRL is off the air and they have nothing to do now in that time slot. Some "Little Haters," you just gotta laugh at and keep it moving. Keep the good content coming Jay. When you get a little light, there is always a hater waiting in line, trying to get a little shine too.

Woah. This person needs meds. I hope you let any hate mail just roll off your back.

I consider your How to Tell People They Sound Racist video short, sweet, eloquent and definitive. "I don't care what you are, I care about what you do." It applies no matter what direction the racism (or sexism, or anythingism) goes, and you can't put it simpler or better.

In the old country, we'd call this emailer a "schmuck." Shine on, Smooth.

If only he did the research he would know that J Smooth was breaking records on the radio for years, he's not buying any Snoop cd. They send you 2 bitch.

Even hate mailers are trying to be clever. Goddmaned if people aren't trying to make this the cutest of all worlds. What happened to good old I'm full of rage and i'm just gonna call you some epithets. It must've taken over 40 minutes for him to cobble together that piece.

'That make you extra.' that wasn't bad. But what the fuck is a bleck folk?

This writer has an utterly vacant sensitivity for irony.

That email gave me a headache.

I truly weep for this generation.

I think there's a stong possibility that this special hater is Ali G

Booyakacha!

Hey man I found your site just surfing around.

While Im not a huge fan of hip hop your show is pretty funny and well... very truthful. I kinda watched alot of your stuff on the election but the racist thing is what struck a cord. She where you grew up listening to hip hop I grew up listening to punk. Not normally weird but its a sceen that that tends to be fairly racist (thankfully not as much any more) and well Im a Jew. So Anyway my point is cause im kinda ranting here is.

Why is it ok for a person of color (any color)to put down a person of another race? I say this because ii get called alot of racist things from well blacks white pretty much anyone BUT I cant respond in kind... cause well then Im a racist.

ayway I have no clue what the hell im talkin about.

Icky, I don't understand--why would you want to respond in kind, if you know how hurtful racist remarks can be?

I think that you are a very open minded man and i want you to know that there are people out there that are proud of you and what you represent! you say alot of what most people are afraid to say and all the other people that think you are wrong need to pick up a history book and educate themselves! we are all different and therefore the same. i am native american and i have heard every word you can think of! I don't understand a "white" person thinking they can complain about or judge african americans being here when their ancestors are the ones that brought them here (not to mentioned enslaved and raped them). as for the guy that made the nasty comment to you check your family tree and see who you should be judging!!!

I smacked myself in the face reading the letter. Did he say illiterate? Cosmic irony hath wrought upon him.

All I have to say is WHATT!?!?!?! Were real sentences formed here or is this just a bunch of letters mashed together in an attempt to form words in an even more far fetched attempted to form sentences?!?! WTF!?

BTW. Love love love loveee the show. Nothing but real realness (haha) spoken and that's what most media is missing.

Kudos to you! Power to the people..especially those with a video camera, a computer and high speed internet connection!

Keep up the good work!

Wow. Just wow. Every time you think we've moved on someone ignorant like that pops up and you are reminded we still have a looooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg way to go.

I loved your "How to tell people they sound racist." I've applied your principles on several occasions since.

Oooh, someone forgot his meds! Whole lot of hate for no good reason there. I hope you let this attack roll off into the sewers where it belongs.

Some people by their very nature, need only offer a single statement to make everyone else look and feel smarter. Its like being around a bunch of ugly people - you immediately become better looking. We should all thank "Dutch" for the immediate boost to our IQs.

hi! longtime lurker, first-time commenter.

JAY. you are awesome. I might approve of the extra "n" in "da mann," but I'm not really sure what it means, so I won't.

pretty much any time anybody asks about how to tell people that they sound racist, I drop linkspam to your v-blog. you're pretty damn awesome.

that said, I wouldn't take to heart anonymous criticism (and pretty damn racist stupid-ass ranting) FROM PEOPLE WHO CAN'T SPELL.

there. I said it: in CAPS.

love, anna
(keep up the good work!)

I wanted to comment on the email response you received from your video, but to be honest... I could not read it well enough to be offended by it. Who spells like that? And I am black as midnight and have NEVER heard anyone talk like that! Is there a "I'm-unhappy-with-my-life-so-where-do-you-get-off-having-a-purpose" decoder ring?

And how did O'Bama get in there? Are we REALLY all related?!? :)

Can you tell him to listen to the video again... slower. Maybe you can do a preschool remix that will be easy for him to understand?

Ironic is an understatement! Good lord that idiot just set back the entire human race and their own generation back about 100 years right they can't even put together a WORD let alone sentence and they are attacking you?! Unfreakingbelievable

The vast majority of people watching the video would have nothing like this response to it.

Watching your video really gave me hope that we are entering a more polite era for society. I think you are incredibly well-spoken. It was good advice for all of us.

Let me get this straight. This [Little Hate-mailer] is a white dude, who thinks that you are also a white dude, but you 'act black' and just go around calling other white dudes who don't 'act black', racists, at the drop of a hat. I am thinking of this like white and black are opposing baseball teams.
Lets use Yankees vs. Red Sox for example [since I am a white-Red Sox fan, and you are a black-Yankees fan, it might somehow make this more interesting]. Dated reference but.... He hates Johnny Damon more for playing for the other team than he does the actual team its self, he thinks hes fakin' with the yanks and he really should have stayed on his own side with the sox, your a traitor so he is booing you louder than Jeter or A-Rod.
As far as the spelling and grammar, he is trying to make fun of you, and he is inferring that blacks are illiterate. And hes basically saying that Obama is the only black dude in America that is worth anything, but only because he is president and about "change" [which is a whole other argument for several reasons that we wont get into right now]. The rest are all just being annoying in a movie theater somewhere. This, at least, is what I got from that. I could be wrong, because it was hard to really realize what I was reading, I thought it was a joke at first. But anyway, this is kind of a rant also, so I will dip. But, let me know if this is close, or way off base, it is confusing.
DISCLAIMER: This is just merely my determination after observation of this persons e-mail. I may be wrong, and any of the contents in this comment that may or may not sound racist and/or sexist or Homophobic are not necessarily my own opinion. In other words people... Don't attack me, I am NOT the Little Hater!
Thank you, FREE HAITI! NO HOMO! PEACE!
