Brothers Chris and Joel Hayes hail from Louisburg, North Carolina, and have recently stepped up to the YouTube plate to bring America a piece of their minds with a mix of politics, social commentary and humor.
Last month, they posted a pretty widely watched video (nearly 175,000 views) in which they explained why they support Donald Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
A week ago, they created another clip, this time taking on one of the left’s pet causes — “white privilege” — and proceeding to tear it from its pedestal.
Neither of their points of view is particularly remarkable — except when you take into consideration that the Hayes brothers are black. With that crucial point in play, their decidedly non-liberal perspectives take on a whole new weight.
“I can yell out ‘black power’ to the top of my lungs,” Chris Hayes declared, adding that no one would question his exclamation. But when a white guy screams “white power,” he noted that trouble would surely follow.
“Oh, God, the whole world is gonna end,” Chris continued while Joel giggled. “The moon just eclipsed the sun, and oh my God, Satan has just risen from the depths of hell. … I mean, it’s really not that bad.”
Chris added that their 81-year-old father was born in 1934 and “went through some stuff with white people,” including having rocks thrown at him and his siblings and getting spat upon. His was a sharecropping family with no money.
