In the same interview where Haitian-American actor Da’Vinchi called Black Americans “lazy” and “incompetent for a really long time,” he also weighed in on racial tensions and slavery in America. While appearing on Cam Newton’s ‘Funky Friday’ podcast, Da’Vinchi shared his controversial claims.

During the October 2 episode, the ‘BMF’ actor spoke about the hit show, and also shared his thoughts on growing up in America with Haitian-born parents and grandparents — making him a first generation American. As we previously shared, Da’Vinchi obliged to Newton’s request and kept it funky. He not only spoke about “lazy” and “incompetent” Americans, but he also weighed in on the controversial conversation of Black Americans believing Black people from the diaspora (Caribbean-Americans, European-Americans, African-Americans, etc.) think they’re better than those native to America. He agreed to it being true, but clarified that it isn’t right.

Later in the interview, Da’Vinchi again spoke about race while commenting on in*******al dating and America’s history with slavery. The conversation came up as Newton asked Da’Vinchi if he could date outside of his race, and do it openly. The actor, who said he is currently locked in with someone, confirmed he could in*******ally date. However, he also clarified that he is not currently dating a White woman. As he made his disclaimer, Da’Vinchi said he didn’t see anything wrong with in*******al dating. He said his reasons for not dating a White woman is “not a color, at all.” However, he added, “I do think it’s unfortunate that we have so many people in the world that can’t see past that...”
