Vice President Kamala Harris hosted Black college students at the White House and played a video featuring rapper Sexyy Red. The speaker argues this choice reduces Black culture to negative stereotypes, contrasting it with how Asian or Jewish student events are handled differently.

So, so Kamala Harris had a gathering for, um, it was mostly Black college students, and there was a girl who circulated a video which they was playing Sexyy Red at the, uh, at the, at the thing, at the house. Now I'm not saying people can't like Sexyy Red, you know, it is what it is, right? But I don't know if Sexyy Red is the best representation of what we are as Black people. I think there's so many other things we got going on other than like, like it's always like a race to the bottom. They pick the lowest common denominator. So when she played that Sexyy Red, I was like, are you serious right now? Like Like when they bring in other people, they bring Asian kids, they're not playing Sexy Red. They— when they bring in Jewish kids, they're not playing this type of stuff. But they really— I think it speaks to a lack of respect people have for us as a community to say, oh yeah, if we do this lowlife debaucherous thing, oh, Black people gonna love it. They gonna love it just like they love greasy food that's gonna kill them. They love shooting each other. They love all the negative. And that's not really who we are. Sexy Red is not a good representation. So they could play Sexy Red somewhere else, but playing it at the White House, what are you really saying to those people?
