Deon Cole: Making $100/Day, Robbing People & Selling Weed to Buy Weed

Ойын-сауық

Deon Cole, who is known for his roles on Black-ish, Angie Tribecca, and more, spoke to VladTV about getting into comedy and the turning point of learning that he wanted to go into the writing side of the industry.
The Chicago native started out speaking about his upbringing, as he moved from the South Side of Chicago to the suburbs, which he said was worse. Deon explained that he got into a lot more fights after he moved, because he encountered racism, even from other Black kids.
During the conversation Deon also revealed it was a $50 bet from a friend that got him into comedy, which led to him being on Def Comedy Jam. While he got recognition from Bernie Mac, which Deon said helped kick-start his career, Deon said he wasn't prepared for the 25 minute sets he had to perform while on tour. After he claims he bombed on set every night, Deon said he was let go from the tour.
To hear more of what Deon had to say, including new projects he's working on, hit the above clip.

The interviewer some how insinuated Dion did something to bring that racism to himself,she said whats your nationality Dion paused like huh and I paused like huh,then she said did you clown them,im like what in the hell! Do you need to do something to somehow bring racism to yourself ill answer hell no.If your racist that alone is the initiation of committing racism.If your pissed with someone for doing something to you make that personal to that person not the race duh!

    Walguens Aristide When she asked him that question I assume she meant like where were you born/background..not whats your skin colour..clearly he is black..we can see that..

    Walguens Aristide My "roots" is Hispanic and my skin is brown..if u asked me my nationality I would say Canadian cuz I was born in Canada. I wouldn't say my nationality is brown just because my parents were born in a brown skin country..use your head bruh lmfao..its not about sounding intelligent or being a "simp" (w.e that means) it's just common sense lol..nationality simply means which part of the world you were born in and race just means different bands of people with similar characteristics in each band regardless of which part of the world u were born in. My race is Hispanic even though I was born in Canadian, and my nationality is Canadian
